Had a wonderful dinner at Siji Minfu Roast Duck (Gugong). Totally enjoyed the food.
• Roast duck quality: The roast duck of Siji Minfu is famous for its crispy, fragrant and tender skin. The duck skin is shiny and translucent, fat but not greasy, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The roast duck is freshly roasted, and the whole duck is pushed over and sliced on the spot, which smells very fragrant. Some customers especially recommend the combination of duck skin and white sugar, which is really greasy.
• Environment and service: The environment of the restaurant is elegant, and the decoration style is antique, which sets off the scenery of the Forbidden City. The waiter is considerate and kind, warmly welcomes every customer, and prompts how to eat roast duck, making the dining experience more profound. The service quality is very good, and each signature dish will introduce the selling point, and the dining environment is also quiet.
• Diversity of dishes: In addition to roast duck, Siji Minfu also offers other rich dishes, such as honey tender shrimp, boutique Beile barbecue, etc.
• Reasonable price: Siji Minfu's price is relatively affordable compared to other similar roast duck restaurants, and the price is very reasonable.
• Queuing situation: Due to the popularity of the restaurant, there are many people queuing, but you can queue up online in advance. Due to the popularity of the restaurant, you may need to wait for a while.
• Processed duck racks: duck racks can be made into soup or salt and pepper. A processing fee is charged for making salt and pepper. You can also ask the staff to pack and take away. The salt and pepper fried duck racks are very crispy and the salt and pepper flavor is very fragrant.
• Other dishes: Other dishes of Siji Minfu have also been recognized by customers, such as nuts and olive oil mixed with seasonal vegetables, which are sweet and sour, light and refreshing; old vinegar peanuts, which are very crispy, sour and sweet, and the more you eat, the more fragrant it is.

A very popular old shop. The people who go there every day are very nice. If time permits, it is recommended to take a number in advance. There are many recommended dishes. The mutton tastes not smelly at all, the portion of meat is large, and it is very satisfying to eat with sesame sauce. The service is very timely and comes as soon as you call. The environment is a bit noisy, but overall it exceeded expectations.
Copper pot mutton hotpot is very popular in Beijing in recent years. Some stores use cloisonné small pots, and some still use traditional carbon pots. The sesame sauce is well seasoned, the sesame cakes are delicious, and you often have to wait for a table at mealtime. Their top brain and yuanbao meat are good, and the price is acceptable. You can eat it occasionally.

I came to the main store again after 10 years. I haven't seen my college roommates for many years. Let's reminisce about school. The store hasn't changed much, but the dishes are richer. In addition to snacks, there are all kinds of staple foods. Beef biscuits. It tastes good when it's just out of the pot, but it's a bit salty. Almond tofu. It's delicious, with a strong almond aroma, very thick, not too sweet, just right.
🥂Environment
Don’t mention the internet celebrity check-in shop, it has to be a time-honored brand, affordable and full of queues!
💁Service
The service is efficient. As long as people finish eating and leave, there will be an aunt to clean up the table immediately, and the speed of serving food is also very fast!
🥛You can’t go wrong with the dishes. This time I ordered toad spitting honey, butter fried cakes and my favorite sugar ears. 22💰Three people are full~

Environment: The whole environment is very atmospheric, and it feels like a high-end restaurant. It is said that there is also a super beautiful terrace, but we went there late at night in winter, and I couldn't find it.
Service: The service is really good. I booked a seat a week in advance because they are so popular.
"Appetizer" Three small dishes, sweet and sour.
"Appetizer almonds" I also like to eat almonds on a daily basis.
"Five flavors and three ways to eat caviar roast duck" Roast duck with three ways of eating, one by one, delicious.
"Golden cabbage and wolfberry slow-cooked duck soup" Drink it while it is hot, especially delicious.
"Cherry sake goose liver" High-value and delicious, the shape is so unique, it's a pity that my cherry sake goose liver dry ice is gone, otherwise it would be a super dreamy duck.
"Black pepper pig's trotter casserole" The black pepper is a bit spicy for me, but it's really delicious.
"Congee boiled seasonal vegetables" Very refreshing soup.
"Sugar oil cake" Because the quantity is relatively large, each table is limited, for fear of not finishing it and wasting it.
"Corolla Love" is so beautiful, looks amazing, and tastes great.
"Fei Zi Xiao" is very unique, with roses stuck on the cup.
"Mojito" is non-alcoholic and tastes sour and sweet.
When I came to Beijing, I thought I had to eat roast duck once before I went back. After reading the reviews, I chose this new creative roast duck restaurant. I went there at noon. The environment was very good. I sat down and ordered. The waitresses were all very young and enthusiastic. Caviar crispy roast duck, Admiral roast duck has three ways to eat, namely caviar crispy, traditional roast duck roll and roast duck duck sous. The best one is the caviar crispy, which is really delicious. Duck sous is second. This is wrapped in lettuce. The roast duck meat roll is slightly inferior. The taste is actually okay, but it feels a bit dry. It may not be wrapped by myself. A little less sense of ceremony
Dry-fried yellow croaker, a large yellow croaker, very tasty, the fish meat is firm and delicious, you can also taste the soup, very good
Real crab meat spring rolls, you can taste the crab flavor completely, the taste is amazing, real ingredients
Cherry sake foie gras, the appearance is great, the taste is good
Sugar oil cake, very delicious cake, the first time to eat, a little surprised, did not expect to eat several pieces at the end of the meal
Overall a great restaurant, very suitable for small gatherings, although the price will be a little higher, but for this taste and environment, it is still worth coming here

The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is coming soon, and it is the day for every family to eat Yuanxiao. Man Hengji's Yuanxiao is highly recommended! Especially the ones with chocolate filling and black sesame filling. After cooking, the skin of his Yuanxiao is glutinous, not thick, with a large filling, and not too sweet, very friendly! Especially the chocolate flavor, it feels like eating a piece of chocolate melting in your mouth.
I remember waiting for a table, and the small condiments were ready to be served to the guests. The service was quite considerate at that time. The shabu-shabu halal is really a must-try. I recommend it.

Luzhu has always been my favorite Beijing snack. Today, I finally checked in at this must-eat restaurant.
Compared with other street-side Luzhu restaurants, this one is larger, and the store is bright, clean and tidy. The overall feeling is quite good.
For Luzhu lovers, the taste of this store is especially worthy of praise, especially the high-quality Luzhu, which is delicious and delicious, absolutely the top level in Beijing.
You can find this store when you come out of Xinjiekou Station on Metro Line 4. You must come to Europe when you have time!
Good! I like it very much! I fell in love with Beijing Luzhu from then on. We arrived in Beijing at night, and this restaurant was open until 2 am, so considerate. Call them and tell them that we will close early and you can come to eat. The Luzhu has a strong flavor, and the soup is absorbed by the tofu and fire cake. The large intestine is clean. There are pig lungs, etc. in it. The fried noodles with soybean paste are also delicious. I went there three times in a week in Beijing. Haha

🔥No.1 on the list of must-eats in Beijing! Legendary Shabu-shabu in Niujie for 30 years
If you come to Beijing and don’t eat this, it’s a wasted trip! It is the leader of Niujie - 30-year-old brand Jubaoyuan👏The founder has always insisted on this fresh lamb for 30 years
Why is his family so awesome? The secret lies in the word "fresh"! He has a natural pasture in Xiwuzhumuqin Banner, Inner Mongolia. The lambs are naturally raised for 180 days. The lamb has a milky flavor and has a "Green Food" certificate. It is super safe to eat🥰.
You must order high-calcium lamb meat when you enter the store. 🫶🏼The crispy bones are mixed with tender lamb meat, and they are shabu-shabued in a copper pot for 8 seconds. Pick it up quickly, dip it in the secret sesame sauce, and put it in your mouth. The taste is rich💥.
💗There is also lamb sun-fried pork, which is fat and lean like marble, a full plate, tender and fragrant,‼ ️Every bite is full of lamb flavor, absolutely amazing
Don't forget the staple food, Yipin Shaobing, take a bite, full of sesame fragrance, crispy and crumbly, not hard the next day, I always pack a lot🤤. Paired with the store's special yogurt, which has honey, sour and sweet, refreshing and greasy, absolutely amazing!
His Niujie main store has a long queue every day, remember to take a number online in advance and eat at off-peak hours. After eating, stroll around Niujie and feel the fireworks of old Beijing. This trip is definitely worth it💨.

[Environment]
Must-eat food in Beijing: hot pot, roast duck. The first stop was Jubaoyuan, a popular hot pot restaurant. I arrived in Beijing at 12 o'clock and rushed to the hot pot restaurant at 14 o'clock. I thought that there would be no queues if I missed the meal time. As a result, there were still many people queuing at the door. Fortunately, it only took half an hour, which was acceptable.
The hot pot restaurant is on the second floor. After going upstairs, there was a lot of noise and fireworks. It was a typical hot pot restaurant.
[Service]
There were too many people, and the waiter wanted to step on the wind and hot wheels. Don't think about any service. It's good to help you serve the dishes. For the rest, it's better to do it yourself.
[Taste]
High calcium lamb, hand-cut fresh lamb. The amount of meat is sufficient, and the lamb flavor is strong, that's the taste! If the schedule is not too tight, I can eat one meal every day. Highly recommended!

🌈It was almost 11 o'clock when we came out of Beihai Park. We searched for nearby food and saw that Heyan meat pie was on the must-eat list of food in 2023. Xiaohongshu also had many recommendations. It is a Beijing restaurant that you will not miss even if you order with your eyes closed. We immediately took a taxi there.
-
🔖A small restaurant in Beijing Hutong with a very high cost performance, just downstairs from a residential building. It can be said that you can eat as much as you want for 60 yuan per person. We arrived at the restaurant at 11:30 and there were already many people queuing at the door. If you don't like to queue for a long time, you can choose to share a table. Fortunately, we waited for half an hour before we got a small table. The facade is simple, the interior is simple and bright, and the seats are a little tight, but the business is really hot❗️

📍Coordinates: No. 14 Xila Hutong (250m from Exit C of Jinyu Hutong, Subway Line ⑧)
▪️The geographical location is excellent, and Wangfujing Business District is nearby. You can go shopping after eating.
-
🌈 Choice barrier Directly group buy 128 double set meal, the dishes are very large, two people can't finish it, it can be said that 4 people are just right, the cost performance is super high.
▪️ Kung Pao Chicken Legs: Every table must order ❗️ Chicken leg + peanuts + dried chili, the meat is firm and tender, the taste is sweet and sour with a little spicy ~ Sisters who like sweet and sour taste, must go for it‼ ️
✔️ Heyan Meat Pie [Beef]
🈶️ Beef, mutton, pork, three kinds, I chose "beef". Highly recommended 🎉 is the kind of thin skin and large filling, the meat filling is full and not loose, the beef is full of fat, the pie skin is slightly crispy and tough! The hidden way of eating in Beijing is to dip it in vinegar when eating.
▪️ Hot and sour melon strips: refreshing and greasy, sweet and sour taste
▪️Hot and Sour Soup: hot and sour, appetizing, rich ingredients 🈶️eggs, fungus, tofu, shredded pork, 🈵️a big bowl, several bowls in a row.
▪️Qianlong cabbage: crisp, sweet and sour, it's just cabbage with sesame sauce, I don't like it.
Beijing Food｜Wangfujing Food｜Food Exploration｜Come with me to explore the store｜Food in the Hutong｜2023 Must-eat List
Beef patties: The meat is rich and tasty, and the meat is large. You can feel the freshness of the meat as soon as you eat it. Don't be fooled by the open top. The meat filling is very neat and will not fall out. It would be better if the skin could be baked more.
Sesame sauce and sugar biscuits: Eat it while it's hot. The skin is thin and crispy. The sesame sauce is sweet in one bite. The sweetness is just right, not too sweet.
Hot and sour melon strips: The melon strips are pickled for a long time, especially flavorful, sour and spicy, and are a perfect match for meat patties.
Millet porridge: The millet is glutinous and fresh, suitable for meat patties.

Very popular restaurant, I go there occasionally because parking is really inconvenient. There is no queue on weekdays, but there are still many people. The waiters are busy and there is no service. There is nothing I can do about it because they are so popular. However, I think Sam's crayfish is also good, so I usually come here only when friends from other places ask to try it. Although it is delicious, I still prefer a quiet restaurant with good service.
Hu Da is already a brand landmark in Guijie Street, but now there are four of them, because there are four branches of Hu Da in Guijie Street. It is suitable for a large group of people to come here, lively and hot.

Xiaodiao Pear Soup has a simple and elegant environment. It is a good choice for friends to gather or entertain guests. The dishes are delicious and the pear soup is so delicious. It is made of real ingredients and the service is thoughtful and meticulous. I strongly recommend friends to go there
The store is next to the Olympic Stadium, and there is always a lot of traffic, so there are always a lot of customers in the store. The signature pear soup is a must-order at every table. It moisturizes the lungs and nourishes the skin, and tastes sweet. Shrimp with pear balls and nuts, the taste is sweet and fragrant, the shrimp is delicious, and the pear is crisp and sweet. There are two kinds of kung pao, the cooking is more authentic, the meat is very tender, and the signature beef fried rice is especially delicious as a staple food.
