After visiting the Summer Palace, we came to this restaurant.
Initially, the reviews I saw online were quite good, and it seemed like a place where locals from Beijing would come for home-style cooking!
Once inside, it truly had the authentic Beijing flavor as locals were making the food.
Of course, it's no surprise that the service attitude was also very local...
It's not as polite as in a city or a hotel; rather, the staff was quite casual and indifferent, and they even charged extra for water or utensils!

We ordered~
❤️ Noodles with Fried Sauce
I can't really say it was delicious, just a very bland bowl of sweet and salty noodles with a bit of cucumber. If you're looking to fill your stomach, it certainly can, as the portion is very large, but honestly, even a small bowl feels quite heavy!

❤️ Grilled Lamb Pocket Bread
The portion of grilled lamb was also quite large, with a rather strong flavor. The pocket bread was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, which was quite tasty. Paired with the lamb, it smelled great, but I felt it was a bit too greasy, making it difficult to finish the whole thing comfortably!

❤️ Tomato Sole Fish
This fish is actually what we call basa fish; the meat is very soft and tender. However, I felt this large bowl was almost entirely tomato soup, and the amount of fish wasn't particularly generous. The assorted mushrooms were quite good, but the biggest drawback was that too much MSG was added. After just a few bites, I could feel the overwhelming taste of MSG! If someone isn’t used to eating MSG, they might find it intolerable!

Overall... while it was still edible, I wouldn’t make a special trip back to eat at this restaurant. I might not even return if it were next to my house...
