Find out what Asian restaurants to try in Beijing. Welcome to a capital city whose story goes back at least 3000 years. In Beijing, you'll find a wealth of history, both ancient (the Hall of Preserving Harmony, Summer Palace, Forbidden City) and more recent (Chairman Mao Memorial Hall, Tiananmen Square). For the best market experience, choose the Dirt Market over the touristy Silk Market. A visit to the Great Wall, the longest manmade structure in the world, is absolutely essential.

We recently had the pleasure of making dumplings and dining at Black Sesameas part of the ISP China Study Tour and I have to say it was one of the most outstanding meals I have ever had in my entire life and I pride myself in being . foodie. We particularly liked the shitake mushroom salad, the eggplant dish and thepork belly dish, they were absolutely outstanding and the whole experience was one of the stand outs of our time in Beijing. Thank you Black Sesame Kitchen you did not disappoint Warm regards Edwina Sunshine Coast Australia

Usually, the Sunday buffet of most restaurants is an exciting affair of freshly prepared, showcased food that entices you back again ... and again ... and again.Unfortunately, a single visit to each of the stations was enough for me at the Food Studio Sunday buffet.Arriving a little early (30 minutes) for lunch, I had an opportunity to watch the food being set up for service. Indeed most of the food had been set up well before my arrival, which is where the issues start.I like sushi and sashimi. Both were available but neither were chilled which is a bit like playing Russian roulette. Fortunately, no misadventures. The cooked prawns were plentiful as were the "whelks". Overall, this was the best counter.Cauliflower soup tasted as per the label, could have done with a touch more seasoning.The dimsum were disappointing. Instead of getting parcels of scolding hot liquid, the liquid had drained away to leave a "soggy bottom". The steamed buns were ok.The BBQ meat was terrible. Warmed through in a microwave, followed by a quick flip on the flat grill and then, if you weren't ready to collect, kept warm under a salamander. It was tough and tasted unpleasant.The salads, promoted as "healthy", were very unappealing. The cucumber had been sitting around for so long it was dry and curling at the edges.The eggs benedict, I think that that was intended, also suffered from sitting around, the sauce had actually set as a layer, the egg was solid, the "muffin" was crusty but not in a good way.The pizza ... was to be avoided.The hot dishes were ok, but not a great variety (the steamed fish was the best). The cauliflower and tomato was actually with bacon not tomato - which could have been a problem for the non-meat eating fraternity.I didn't try the noodle dishes.Overall nothing that I would rush back to eat.But, hungry one evening and not wanting to venture out, I ventured back to the Food Studio.This time the "a la carte" menu was presented. I chose, French onion soup, stuffed bean curd rolls and Hiananese chicken rice - an odd combination maybe but my taste buds said that that is what they fancied.The bean curd rolls do not arrive as shown in the "electronic" menu (nicely arranged on a serving platter) but in the basket in which, I think, they were deep fried. They were ok, the tomato ketchup sauce on the side was a slight surprise. But the taste bud bucket list was ticked, perhaps not to be returned to again.The French onion soup arrived almost at the same time as the bean curd rolls, which was fine. The two croutons, slices of bread with toasted cheese, were a ok. The soup also ok, but not the classical depth of onion flavour that you might expect.The Hiananese chicken rice arrived in close procession. Again, the biggest let down was the rice as per the hotel's Wanli restaurant. It was hard & inedible (even after dousing with the the accompanying broth). The chicken was ok, made better by the dipping sauces.Again, not a meal that would entice me to return.Redemption was, partly, on hand the other evening when I fancied a "snack" whilst in the R Bar.I asked for the bar menu and was presented with the electronic menu showing the Food Studio page. With some apprehension, I flicked through the "pages", avoiding all of the above (which didn't leave a lot). My eye caught "Rigatoni Bolognese" heralded as beef ragu, pancetta, rosemary & Parmesan cheese - well even if microwaved from frozen (which is not unknown when at home), it can't be that bad. It arrived promptly and I was delighted that it was a tasty dish of rigatoni pasta with a meat sauce. This I would happily eat again.

For the service, it was very great. The staffs are friendly and very polite. The location is good BUT the parking is HORRIBLE! The restaurant decorations are welcoming and looks nice. It is also a quiet and you have your personal space.The dimsum buffet costs 188 rmb per person and it is a net price. You can eat as much as you can. However I personally think the taste and quality of the food is so so.The dumpling skin is TOO THICK, the rice rolls also. The mango sago is way to sweet.The custard bun has far too less fillings and not hot. The good one has to have the filling oozed out when you bite. This is not the case.I prefer the quality and the taste at the opposite house more.

Happened to bump into this restaurant from our Great Wall trip back to city and remembered someone told me about here.Conveniently located at Lama Station. Price wise is expensive but the food presentation, taste, creativity plus the services, I guess worth to try if you like upper scale veggie. Will I try it again? Maybe yeah....

We were staying at the Renaissance Beijing in Wangfujing and decided to try Wan Li one night, not expecting much. What a wonderful surprise! Every dish was absolutely delicious, with a special mention to the Peking duck (best to order in advance, they tend to run out quickly) and the roasted goose. Very stylish decor. We came back the next day... and the day after that. By far the best Chinese food we've had during our 2 week trip around China! Most waiters do not speak English, which can make things a bit tricky at times, but the service was good nevertheless.

Tried the BLD out for a quick lunch. Ordered the Latino sandwich which was very good but a bit light on chicken. The sandwiches comes with a choice of either fries or mesclun salad, the mesclun turned out to be iceberg salad with pickled onions, pickled cucumber and pepper, not really what I had in mind. The staff is great but should have informed me of the change.Dear Customer,Thank you very much for taking the time to share your experience with us, we apologize that your experience at BLD restaurant didn't meet your expectations.

There are several options available for dinner buffet. Indian, Chinese, Western. I had an Indian-spiced lamb chop that was perfectly cooked. Nan was good. Lobster claws were tender but salty. Salads looked a little old. The desserts were not very good--at least to Western tastes. The ice cream was good (only 1 scoop of ice cream is offered--you must specifically ask for more). There are containers of orange juice, water, and milk tea (cold) available at the entrance. I don't know if alcohol is available. We couldn't track down anyone to ask. No one removed our dirty plates.Overall, disappointing. The restaurant tables, placemats, chairs could all stand a good scrubbing.Dear jillalex, thank you for taking time to write a comment for us.

Hyatt has done an amazing job with its Made in China experiences. Each location is slightly different and the food is phenomenal. We had a fantastic culinary experience at this high end restaurant. You walk in and are immediately exposed to the kitchen wonders. On the right, Peking Duck is getting baked and smoked in the open fire oven. A little further down the busy wok kitchen is at work on a variety of stir fries. We ordered 1/2 Peking duck. It was cut up and served right in front of us. Pieces of fresh hot crispy skin. Dip it in sugar and it pops in your mouth. Then try some of the softer meat. Dip it in sauce, place it on a wrap and add some of the sliced onion and cucumber, it was delicious! We also got the incredible honey glazed shrimp. Sooooo good. For a third we got a cabbage served with chestnuts. Also delicious. We paired it all with a chinese white wine. A delicious semi sweet Riesling. Pretty darn good. Also had glasses of Cabernet Sauvignon. Also delicious wine. It was by the best pairing with this particular meal but I was keen on trying some local wine. On our way out we saw the Head Chef Kent Jin at work. Overall a great experience and wonderful food.Dear Emtko, We are delighted that you had such a pleasant experience with us at Made in China.
