Reviews
- Winter_1This siheyuan-style restaurant has been around for over 20 years and honestly the vibe is super unique. The whole courtyard setup is gorgeous, with outdoor seating in the front and these really elegant private rooms in the back. The star of the show has gotta be their signature Yongzheng roast duck (Peking duck) — they roast it over fruitwood and bring it out on this crazy "Temple of Heaven"-shaped platter, super ceremonial. Skin was perfectly crispy and the meat was super juicy. Another must-order is the Eighth Master pan-fried meat pie — crispy outside, tender inside, juices just bursting out. After 7pm they have guzheng music and Sichuan opera face-changing performances which honestly made the whole night feel really special. Service was professional and attentive, great spot for business dinners or hosting friends visiting from out of town. Not gonna lie, it's pretty pricey per person, but when you factor in the setting, the food, and the whole experience I'd say it's totally worth it. Definitely book ahead though, especially on weekends and evenings — the good spots go fast.
