1. Jiangjiang Xinjiang Restaurant
This new Xinjiang hand-pulled noodle (banmian) shop in Sanlitun SOHO has Uyghur brothers working in the kitchen. The owner used to run Anboer Beef Noodles, and this shop also keeps the halal, alcohol-free policy of Anboer.
Besides regular dining chairs, the shop has two Uyghur-style heated platform tables (kangzhuo). We took off our shoes and sat on the platform to eat.
This Xinjiang restaurant does not sell alcohol, but they have plenty of honey-based malt drink (kawasi).
A big highlight here is that they use fresh, just-slaughtered meat for their barbecue.
The beef we ate was slaughtered in the morning and served on our table that afternoon.
The peppercorn chicken (jiaomaji), big plate chicken (dapanji), and steak are all made in the traditional Xinjiang way, and the taste is excellent.
They have lowered the spice and salt levels, making the flavors lighter and suitable for bringing children.
Another highlight is the clay oven (nangkeng) built inside the shop for baking flatbread (nang), so you can eat it fresh and hot.
2. Huixiangyun Halal Hunan Stir-fry
Two halal Hunan-style stir-fry restaurants opened at the same time in Zuojiazhuang and Wangjing Korean Town. The Wangjing location specializes in home-style stir-fries, while the Zuojiazhuang shop is larger with a wider variety of dishes and private dining rooms.
Menu prices are shown in the image, and there is a 12% discount on everything during the soft opening period.
I ate at both locations. The taste of the same dishes is identical, and everything is stir-fried fresh on the spot with no pre-made food.
The duck head from the braised duck snacks is truly super spicy; I think people from Hunan would definitely approve of this heat level. The duck neck is not spicy and is perfect as a snack while watching shows. These braised items are available for takeout at the window.
Hunan-style spicy beef tripe (maodujian)
Stir-fried yellow beef (xiaochao huangniurou)
Hunan-style stir-fried free-range chicken (hunan chao tuji)
Western Hunan bandit-style duck (xiangxi tufei ya)
Dry-pot spicy duck head (ganguo la yatou)
Creamy tofu (baojiang doufu)
Hunan-style beef tripe, tendon, and brisket (xiangwei niusanxian)
Beef tenderloin with hanging peppers (hangjiao niuliu)
Hunan-style grilled fish served two ways.
This is a small shop in Wangjing. It used to be called Mr. Mu Halal Stir-fry, but after a renovation, it was renamed Huixiangyun. The Zuojiazhuang branch is next to the Jinjiang Inn, and you can park for free at the entrance.
3. Qianyuan Hotel Buffet Restaurant
The buffet restaurant on the third floor of the Qianyuan Hotel is halal. There is no sign, but the hotel owner is a Dongxiang person.
The dinner buffet is 158 yuan per person, and you can sometimes get it cheaper with a group-buying deal.
The restaurant serves fusion food, including southern dishes, Western-style steak, Beijing roast duck, and roasted lamb leg from the Northwest.
Each guest gets one serving of Australian steak, and you can choose how you want it cooked. The quality of this steak is very high.
The roasted lamb leg is delicious. The meat is fresh and has no gamey smell. I ate two plates.
The oysters are also very large.
There is a chocolate fountain for dipping fruit. This hotel has been open for over ten years and is a four-star property. Considering the location, the price is not expensive.
4. Ya'er Liji Halal Cuisine
The Ya'er Liji on Niujie Street serves hot pot (shuanrou) upstairs and stir-fried dishes downstairs.
The restaurant is very large. It was packed for the first few days after opening, but now the crowds have died down.
Stir-fried dishes are on the basement level. The signature items are braised oxtail (hongshao niuwei) and stir-fried tripe with cilantro (yanbao sandan). The taste doesn't compare to Hongbinlou, but the price is only half of what you pay there.
For a staple, try the sugar pancake (tangbing). They are generous with the filling, and it is very sweet.
Overall, their stir-fried dishes lean toward the sweet side and the flavor is just average. The advantage is the low price, with an average cost per person under 100 yuan.
They also started making yogurt like Ziguangyuan. Halal dining on Niujie Street is becoming very similar across different shops, and the flavors are quite limited.
5. Changxile Restaurant
This is a newly opened Harbin-style small eatery specializing in wontons and noodles.
The small bowl of beef is stewed well.
The shop is clean, and the owner looks very neat and professional.
The food tastes like home cooking, and the prices are cheap.
6. Old Ma's Lamb Soup and Beef Steamed Dumplings (zhengjiao)
This is a Shandong-style lamb bone broth (yangtang) shop, and the broth is milky white.
They have many kinds of steamed dumplings (zhengjiao). The lamb bone broth comes plain, so you add your own salt and seasonings.
The shop promises that this milky white broth is boiled naturally with no additives.
Small cold side dishes are self-service.
7. Shangjingdao Halal Northeast Barbecue
This is a newly opened Harbin-style barbecue shop that serves sweet and sour pork (guobaorou).
I tried a few of their signature Northeast dishes, and they tasted great. The grilled skewers were also very flavorful.
Salty-style sweet and sour pork (guobaorou)
Spicy stir-fried squid tentacles
Chicken stewed with mushrooms (xiaoji dun mogu)
8. Maji Qibaozhai
A new halal deli opened in Jiugong, and they also sell halal pastries and staple foods.
Their spiced beef (jiang niurou) is quite tasty and affordable. If you eat in now, they give you free steamed buns (mantou). Their buns are made with Wudeli flour and are very dense.
Maji Qibaozhai is a chain store, but I have only been to this location in Jiugong.
9. Doulai Shun Changzhuang Branch
A huge halal restaurant located right next to the Changzhuang mosque, serving stir-fried dishes and hot pot.
The restaurant has several floors and a very large space, making it suitable for banquets. Their stir-fried dishes are also quite standard.
Their mapo tofu is delicious. Doulai Shun serves fusion cuisine, so they have a bit of everything.
The clear-stewed lamb (qingdun yangrou) is well-made, and the quality of the lamb is good.
10. Sailimai Northwest Food Museum
This place is quite refined with a fresh decor style and a huge variety of items on the menu.
I originally wanted to try their steamed buns (baozi), but the menu was so overwhelming that I ended up ordering a bowl of fermented vegetable noodles (jiangshuimian).
Fermented vegetable noodles (jiangshuimian) are a common home-style dish from Northwest China. The broth is fermented, giving it a sour taste, and the dish is vegetarian.
I tried their potato-filled steamed buns (baozi), which are stuffed with shredded potatoes.
The manager gave me some bitter water rose yogurt (kushui meigui suannai); roses are a major specialty of Lanzhou. Even at eight in the evening, the restaurant was packed with a steady stream of customers. Their success comes from the care they put into their service.
11. Fresh Milk Town
This is a new bakery opened by the Tanyang shop brand. As soon as you walk in, you see a station for fresh milk.
You grab a bottle from the disinfection cabinet yourself, or you can bring your own container. After filling it with milk, you just pay at the counter. I drank a bottle of the fresh milk, and it had a rich, creamy flavor.
Their milk, bread, and pizza are all made fresh daily and never kept overnight. This kind of breakfast with fresh milk, coffee, and bread is my favorite; it feels quite healthy.
There are dozens of types of baked goods, and each one is quite large.
The menu prices are not expensive, with an average cost per person under 100 yuan.
The shop has a huge kiln used for baking pizzas.
The kitchen is open and clean, and the service is excellent. A young lady even helped me carry my tray and pack up my leftovers.
We ate two freshly baked pizzas at the shop, and they tasted great.
One was filled with sesame leaf and beef, and the other was filled with Monthong durian (jin zhen liu lian); both were delicious.
The shop is very busy, so you have to wait in line on weekends. You can also come here for afternoon tea. There is a parking lot at the entrance, and parking is free.
