| - The big draw for me is that they have boba! Nothing special about it, but it does the job. As for the food, I got the Beijing beef. It's listed as a spicy item but personally I found it mostly sweet and only a bit spicy (though that may speak more to my preferences, and I've never had Beijing beef before either so it may not usually be very spicy). The texture of the beef was unusual. I found it to be very soft and mushy, not like a cut of gourmet meat but more like textured beef substitute. I ordered it as a bento box, which comes with 3 pieces of sushi roll. FYI you don't get to choose what kind you get, it's just a standard imitation crab and avocado. The rice used seemed pretty stale though. The fried rice also had bean sprouts, which is a first for me. They also seem to have used non-stale/old rice for the fried rice which means it was more moist than usual, another oddity to me. Like any good Chinese restaurant though, the portions are great; I ended up having to take a doggie bag.
In short, I was disappointed by the Beijing beef bento box; other items may be fine. The boba is a big plus if you like it. If you're looking for Chinese though, I'm a much bigger fan of Chang Jiang near Woodman's, which is exclusively Chinese and has a much wider menu selection, similar prices, and has consistently had good food.
