Xian Lao Man (馅老满)

The pok leek and prawn dumpling is THE BEST in Beijing you can get. Plump ,juicy and succulent they instantly melt in your mouth. The mutton shallot potstickers are the crispiest dumplings in town dipped with vinegar.

This is the one you want to try! Went here twice in our trip to Beijing just to try more dishes. Good dumplings, great Kung pao chicken, awesome eggplant, good shredded pork, good stir-fried shredded potatoes.

genuinely cannot believe that all this food was $17. the fried rice is not overly saucy like the americanized fried rice. it is fresh and subtle. the dumplings were tender and had large fillings. the eggplant was quite salty but still delicious and the chicken feet were scrumptious.

Best Gong Pao Ji Ding (Kung Pao Chicken) I had in Beijing. It's impossible to find this dish back in America cooked to perfection like this restaurant does. If you are in the area, or even if you're not, make a stop here. If you eat here just look around. Mostly locals. That's the sign that it's a good restaurant in Beijing. Prices are low too. Very reasonable.

Really good food for a good price.
