We visited Beijing on a Thursday night around 6:45 and only waited about 5 minutes to be seated, though the line grew quickly. Just FYI, you order by writing down the number of the dish you want on a piece of paper they place at your table and it seems like your waiter won't come by to take your drink order until you do so.
Food: Delicious. Some of the best Chinese I've had.
Hot and Sour Soup: This was the only disappointment. It was overly thick and lacked flavor.
Soft Shell Crab with Pepper: Perfectly cooked and delicious.
Egg Roll: The best egg roll that I've ever had. Crispy with fantastic fillings. The homemade sweet and sour sauce is wonderful.
Dumplings with Peanut Sauce: These were very delicate, though the peanut sauce was a bit heavy and lacked the flavor of Thai peanut sauces.
General Tao Tofu: Cubes of fresh tofu surrounded by an amazing golden, deep fried dough and a tasty sauce.
Szechuan Fish: This was not what I was expecting, but was still great. Lightly breaded but fresh fish in a sweet and spicy sauce with crispy green pepper and onion. Normally I think green pepper is a waste of time, but this balanced the sweetness of the sauce and the dough nicely.
Service: Fine. Friendly and prompt, though my fiance did have to order his beer twice.
Ambiance: Lively (in a good way) but otherwise average.
