Reviews
- Mercury_4Followed the must-eat list again and honestly everything was so good! Came back to "Baihua Renjia" in Mentougou — gotta say the name really fits because there's seriously something for everyone, every dish is worth recommending! The vibe: super "ancient Chinese style," really immersive, felt like I stepped into another era. The service: tons of staff around and everyone's super friendly and热情. The "huo pen shi mo dou fu" (fire pit stone-grind tofu) — their signature, absolutely gotta order it! Even though there's some fatty pork in it, it's not greasy at all, like seriously not. And the ingredients are super rich and layered. The lamb skewers — huge skewers, like one is basically a meal by itself! The meat texture is so good, super tender and flavorful. Overall verdict: this place is absolutely worth the trip, a legit must-eat spot. Huge thumbs up!! Will definitely be back.
