Reviews
- artful_green_beanCame here with my partner and honestly the vibe was super nice. The decor is this cool new Chinese style, very chic, and we got a table by the window where you can see the whole Wangfujing street. At night when the lights come on it's actually really romantic, loved that. We ordered the matsutake mushroom soup first and wow, super fresh and fragrant, just really comforting to drink. The Peking duck was the star though — the skin was perfectly crispy and the meat was so tender. The side dish they give you, some kind of crunchy cabbage salad, was a great way to cut through all the richness. We just sat there eating and chatting, totally relaxed the whole time. Overall a really solid experience, perfect for a date night or hanging out with a close friend. Would def come back.
