Here is the information for the restaurants I visited this time:
1. Wanhe Beef
2. Manpengxuan
3. Love Yourself Halal Skewer Hot Pot
4. Xiting Xiuse, Xiangyun Town Branch
5. Flame & Feast Pakistani Steak
6. Yilan Liyuan Handmade Burgers
7. Laikebi Happy Pizza

1. Wanhe Halal Beef

This beef hot pot restaurant is on Longfusi Food Street. They use beef from Zhangye, Gansu. The shop is 2,000 square meters, has many private rooms, and offers good service. They mainly sell beef.

The beef set meal I bought online was only 200 yuan. Two people couldn't even finish it. The meat quality is really good.

This is the sea cucumber (liaoshen) included in the set, along with plenty of vegetables and noodles as the staple food.


You can choose a single-person small pot to try different soup bases. I like this pickled cabbage (suancai) soup base. You can mix your own dipping sauce. I like to make mine with a spicy and sour Yunnan flavor.

Address: 3rd Floor, Building A, Nanfang, No. 1 Longfusi Qianjie, Dongcheng District.
2. Manpengxuan

This is a new high-end halal restaurant under the Nanmen Shuanrou brand, located on the 4th floor of the North Area of the China World Mall.

The authentic Nanmen Shuanrou brand is the one at the Temple of Heaven; all other Nanmen restaurants are just copycats trying to ride on their popularity. There is also a Nanmen Xiaoguan in the China World Mall, which is another brand under Nanmen that serves Beijing-style stir-fry at affordable prices.

The restaurant has a beautiful layout and a spacious interior, making Manpengxuan a great choice for business dinners.

Remember to park in the North Area and take the North 2 elevator to the 4th floor, or you might get lost.

They serve complimentary pickled vegetables before the meal, and they all taste quite good.

When the server talked about the chef's knife skills, they mentioned a dish called celery with phoenix tail in sauce (laozhi fengwei xiqin). I was curious, so I ordered it. The celery arrived without the sauce poured over it; it looked beautiful and tasted very crisp and tender.

They serve fusion cuisine, mainly Beijing and Cantonese dishes. I specifically chose a Cantonese dish called lotus leaf and dried tangerine peel Zhanjiang chicken (hexiang chenpi zhanjiang ji), which comes with the chicken already deboned.

This dish is called dried scallop and shrimp with fresh bean curd skin and apple loofah (yaozhu xiagan xianfuzhu zhu pingguo sigua). The name lists all the ingredients. It is very light, the server helped us portion it out, and you can even get refills on the soup.

I ordered the crispy skin roast chicken. I originally wanted the crispy squab, but a large group had already finished all of them that day. The skin on this roast chicken was just as crispy.

For the threadfin salted fish and eggplant claypot (mayou xianyu qiezi bao), the salted fish was indeed a bit salty.

The appetizing kale and bamboo shoots (kaiwei jielan sun) is a savory dish. The kale was cut into a shape that made it hard to pick up with chopsticks, but the server was very thoughtful and said they would improve the presentation.

The manager gave us some complimentary Beijing-style desserts, including pea flour cake (wandou gao) and aiwowo (steamed rice flour cakes with sweet filling). They were small and bite-sized.
3. Love Yourself Halal Skewer Hot Pot

A new skewer hot pot restaurant serving Guizhou sour soup has opened near the residential area of Daxing Airport.

The warm reminder at the entrance shows the owner is very thoughtful. While waiting for a table, I chatted with the owner and learned he is from Chengdu.

Skewers are 0.8 yuan each. After eating, they count the sticks to settle the bill. You can buy a group-buying set, and the average cost per person is under 70 yuan.

You still have to wait in line on weekend nights. The place is small, with fewer than ten tables inside.

Although the owner recommended the spicy clear oil hot pot, I specifically chose the Guizhou sour soup hot pot.

They have a huge variety of skewers, and they are already seasoned, so they taste great even without dipping sauce.

Address: 2nd Floor, Building 1, Kangtai Street, Yufa Town, Daxing District.
4. Xiting Xiuse (Xiangyun Town Branch).

The Xiting Xiuse branch in Shunyi's Xiangyun Town is their largest and most luxurious store in Beijing.

The restaurant has two floors, and there is an open-air garden at the entrance on the first floor. It is very pleasant to sit in the courtyard during the summer.

The second floor has several private rooms, each with a different style, and there is even a dedicated room for smoking cigars.

The large private rooms can hold thirty to forty people, making them perfect for parties and birthday banquets.

It is also a great experience to stop by for coffee and afternoon tea. This is one of the more authentic Turkish restaurants, and the colors of their dishes are a feast for the eyes.

Address: Shop 107, Building 11, North District, COFCO Xiangyun Town, Antai Street, Shunyi District.
5. Flame & Feast Pakistani Steak

A newly opened Pakistani steakhouse in Shunyi. Their signature dish is grilled steak, and they also sell burgers and fried chicken.

The small shop has two floors. The newly renovated environment is very clean, and the service is quite warm.

I found a portrait of a pharaoh hanging in the bathroom, which carries a bit of metaphor for our Pakistani friends.

This is French-style fried chicken with a sweet and salty flavor, but I still prefer salty fried chicken.

The burger is also quite ordinary; this place's burger is not as good as the ones on Niujie.

However, their steak tastes good. Because the price is cheap, it feels quite a bargain to get this quality of steak. The waiter asked how I wanted it cooked, and I like it medium-well. I suggest you only eat the steak when you come here.
Address: Yixin Jiayuan, Shengli Subdistrict, Shunyi District.
6. Yilan Liyuan Handmade Burgers

The Yilan Liyuan Beef and Mutton Shop on Niujie added a new window to sell handmade burgers. The owner's son returned from studying in the United States and wanted to bring authentic American burgers to Beijing using their own beef.


This is the handsome guy, cooking in person with the meat patties fried on the spot. They currently only have two types of burgers, divided into single and double layers. The young man's skills are good. The shape and style of this burger are basically the same as what I ate in the United States, even the wrapping paper is the same.

7. Laikebi Happy Pizza

Laikebi is an old shop that has reopened. I ate at their shop near the China University of Political Science and Law before 2018. At that time, the owner was still single and from Yunnan. This year, the owner reopened the shop and married a Uyghur wife. We happened to run into them when we arrived at the shop.

It is a pity that this shop will close at the end of the month. International students used to visit often, but now there are far fewer students in the area, making it hard to keep the business going.

Their dishes offer great value for money. I was deeply impressed when I visited in 2018. We had four people this time and ordered a four-person set meal for only 200 yuan. We actually couldn't finish it because it was just too affordable.

Their pizza and grilled meat rice are both delicious. They are excellent among halal Western-style fast food in Beijing.

I don't know if there will be another chance to eat at such an affordable Western restaurant in the future. I hope the owner can get back on his feet.




Maybe when you see this message, the shop will already be closed, so let's just leave this as a memory.
8. Xiangyu Homestay Halal Restaurant

A new halal farmhouse inn has opened in Huairou. There are now at least three halal homestays in the area, and this one is not far from the Mutianyu Great Wall.

The setting here is quite nice, with a small bridge and flowing water at the entrance.

We booked our meal in advance. The owner is a Hui Muslim from Tongzhou and is a great cook.


Since we had children with us, I specifically asked the owner to use less salt and keep the flavors light. Otherwise, following the traditional taste of Tongzhou Hui Muslims, the dishes would definitely be salty.

The food here is generally home-style. I suggest sticking to traditional Beijing dishes to be safe and avoid disappointment. Don't order the Sichuan dishes; after all, a chef is always more comfortable cooking the food from their own hometown.





When you come to Huairou, you must eat the grilled rainbow trout (hongzunyu). Rainbow trout is a cold-water fish with tender meat and few bones.


The spicy chicken (lazi ji) in the photo above and the boiled beef (shuizhu niurou) in the photo below are not recommended as they are not the chef's specialty. Everything else is fine. There were 10 of us, and it cost 50 per person.



Address: Lianhuachi Village, Yanqi Town, Huairou District.
