Old school Chinese restaurant at it's best. If your a fan of Chinese cuisine this place is a must. You know it's going to be a good meal when most of the people in the place are Chinatown residents and most of the conversations around you are being held in Chinese.
This is the kind of restaurant that lends it's self well to group outings, I always seem to eat here in large groups I find the round tables with and lazy Susan's make it easy to share dishes and try new things.
The food here isn't always to my taste but that's more of a preference thing then a quality of food thing. I like Beijing because the menu has a wide variety of dishes, a little something for everyone, whether you want the old standards like General Tao chicken and chicken fried rice to pickled cabbage and vegetarian hot pots.
The decor is standard old School Chinese restaurant chairs and tables out of the 70's, waiving cats and half the menu written on pieces of cardboard taped to the wall. Until recently the menu items on the wall were only written in Chinese. The dated decor give along with the divers clientele give Restaurant Beijing a great ambiance.
This restaurant won't disappoint, if you're looking for a good Chinese restaurant then Beijing should be on your list of places to try.
