Beijing Food: About Those High Expectations... Yeah, Don't.

[Rosemarie Sawayn PhD]

Are there even any places left that aren't just trendy influencer spots?

[Lucille Borer]

That chicken and potato stew from Huoshaoyun? Honestly, I make it better myself.

[Ellis Sauer DVM]

Tried it. It was pretty mediocre.

[Lorena Runolfsson]

As a local foodie, I'd say the best thing these past few years has been the chance to try food from all over China. You guys are being too narrow-minded [sticking only to 'Beijing' specialties].

[Orville Conroy]

This person's life isn't about real experiences, just about posting content for Xiaohongshu.

[Lindsey Jerde DDS]

Were you eating around tourist traps, or at places advertising 'Old Beijing...' cuisine?

[Kathryn Hermiston]

I haven't actually tried much 'Old Beijing' cuisine.

[Melinda Wilderman]

You could always try making it yourself...

[Benjamin Dooley]

But I caaaan't...

[Dana Sanford]

Jing Zhaoyin, Da Dong, and Beijing Yan are all pretty good options.

[Wayne Marvin]

I've been to Yi Ling Ba Dao (108 Dao). It was decent.

[Sally Breitenberg]

And don't even get me started on Liaoning cuisine; there's really not much there, even their BBQ.
