80. Zhizi Revolution (Zhizi Geming)



This is an old Beijing iron-griddle barbecue (zhizi kaorou) shop with several branches. This is the Gulou branch.



The decor is in the style of the early post-liberation period, and they even use enamel mugs for drinking water.



The walls are covered with old newspapers, and it is very popular.



Beijing-style pickled cabbage (suancai), which you grill to eat.



For the best experience, pour the whole plate of meat onto the iron griddle and flip it while it cooks.

Address: No. 25 Lingdang Hutong, Jiugulou Street (Gulou Branch)

81. Di's Braised Meat Snack Shop (Diji Jiangrou Xiaochidian)



This shop is a very small takeout window. They recently started selling braised chicken with rice (huangmenji mifan), but I tried it once, didn't like it, and they stopped selling it later.



However, their snacks and pastries still taste great. This is a brown sugar sesame cake (tanghuoshao).



This is aiwowo, a type of Beijing snack.



The glutinous rice roll with bean flour (lvdagun) tastes just as good as Hongji's, and the advantage is that you don't have to wait in a long line.



The sesame flatbread (shaobing) also tastes very authentic.

Address: First floor of Dahuozhi Barbecue, Nanheng West Street.

82. Blood Station Big Plate Chicken (Xuezhan Dapanji)



People say this is a very popular big plate chicken (dapanji) chain from Xinjiang that just opened near Beijing West Railway Station. The name comes from the fact that the original shop in Xinjiang was located near a blood station, so locals know to go there for big plate chicken.



For the grand opening, the owner is giving away yogurt.



Authentic spicy lamb trotters (hula yangti).



I often eat the stir-fried meat with flatbread (nang chaorou).



The potatoes in the big plate chicken are stewed until very soft, and the flavor is good.

Address: Second floor of Ruihai Building, next to Beijing West Railway Station.

84. Islam Lan Hot Pot.



I highly recommend this new restaurant. It specializes in hot pot buffets and costs 63 yuan per person with a group discount.



Besides the hot pot buffet, each person can pick up two skewers of tender grilled meat from the window at a time.



They also have excellent matcha cake. It is not like the cheap cakes at typical buffets; everyone who tries it says it is good.



The restaurant is clean and tidy. The waitresses wear headscarves, there is a prayer room, and the restaurant is smoke-free and alcohol-free. Even the fermented bean curd (jiangdoufu) is made without alcohol.



The vegetables and fruits are fresh. If you want fruit, the staff will cut it fresh for you.



Each person gets a small individual pot, or groups can choose a split-pot (yuanyang guo).



You can also ask the chef to make pizza, and the taste is just as good as a dedicated pizza shop.



After the meal, there is high-quality ice cream you can eat to your heart's content. The whole meal really only costs 63 yuan per person. The owner is very devout, and during Ramadan, they provide free meals for suhoor and iftar.

Address: No. 11 Huixin East Street, Chaoyang District.

85. Jiaoming Peppery and Numbing Restaurant.



This restaurant is ranked number one for food in Wudaokou on Meituan.



It specializes in peppery and numbing chicken (jiaomaji) and offers various flavors.



Stir-fried small cucumbers.



The big plate chicken (dapanji) is a must-order at any Xinjiang restaurant, and the taste is fantastic.

Address: 3rd-4th Floor, Phase 1, International Food Court, No. 29 Chengfu Road, Wudaokou, Haidian District. It is near Exit A of Wudaokou Subway Station, opposite the Hualian Shopping Plaza (300 meters west of Wudaokou Cinema, on the third floor of Richang Restaurant).

86. Xingyuege Muslim Restaurant.



Friends (dosti) from Northeast China in Beijing are in luck, because I finally found a restaurant that specializes in halal Northeast-style dishes.



The restaurant's home base is Harbin.



The decor style is also very Harbin.



Double-cooked pork (guobaorou) is a famous Northeast dish, served here in the Harbin-style savory version.



Steamed dumplings (shaomai) are also a common Northeast home-style dish.



They also have home-style tofu (jiachang doufu). Friends (dosti) from the Northeast who miss the taste of home should take the chance to try it.

Address: Shop 102, Building 2, Courtyard 2, Lixiangcheng, Hongye Road, Xihongmen Town.

87. Suzhou Hui Muslim Restaurant.



Many friends see the name and think it is a Suzhou-style halal restaurant, but it is not. This shop is in the Suzhou community near Beijing Railway Station and is an authentic old Beijing restaurant.



I highly recommend their soybean paste noodles (zhajiangmian). The toppings look tempting, and the taste is very authentic.

Address: No. 36, Suzhou Hutong, Dongcheng District.

88. Jingmen Old Stir-fry Trio (Jingmen Lao Bao San).



The stir-fry trio refers to lamb heart, lamb liver, and lamb kidney. This place specializes in Beijing-style hot pot.

Address: No. 45, Yinmajing, Fangzhuang East Road.

89. Jufuyuan Hot Pot.



Although the shop claims to be an old brand from Niujie, as someone from Niujie, I have never heard of this place.

Address: No. 14, Haihu Xili, 100 meters south of Dazhong Electronics.

90. Jingdong Meat Pie.



A small shop with a modest storefront that specializes in Jingdong meat pies (Jingdong roubing).



I tried a beef one. The crust was crispy and the meat was tender. It is worth recommending.

Address: Yinmajing, Fangzhuang East Road, near Jingmen Old Stir-fry Trio. Find Jingmen Old Stir-fry Trio and walk 100 meters south.

91. Ningxia Flavor Summer Language (Ningwei Xiayu).



A newly opened Ningxia-style halal restaurant in the busy Chaoyangmen area with a very nice environment.



Our group of over ten people tried almost everything on the menu.



Sweet rice made by Northwest Hui Muslims.



The lamb trotters are very flavorful.



Every dish is solid and they put a lot of effort into the presentation.



Rice sausage (michangzi).



Hui Muslim fried dough (youxiang).



Hui Muslim snack platter.



This place is great for group meals. You can push tables together for over ten people, and the prices are not expensive.

Address: 2F, Fenglian Plaza, No. 18 Chaoyangmen Outer Street, Chaoyang District, Beijing.

92. Dianxinyuan Yunnan-style halal restaurant.



I found this Yunnan halal restaurant by accident in Yizhuang.



There used to be only one Yunnan halal restaurant in Beijing called Dalifu, but it has already closed.



When you come for Yunnan food, the steam pot chicken (qiguoji) is a must-order.



Stir-fried yellow beef (xiaochao huangniurou).



Pineapple rice (boluofan). This shop has a quiet, elegant atmosphere and the prices are cheap.

Address: Ground floor shop on the north side of Yongkang Apartment, No. 18 Kangding Street (100 meters west of Exit A, Tongjinanlu Subway Station).

93. Eliya Halal Bakery.



This is a high-end halal pastry shop.



They have all kinds of beautiful desserts.



They use imported halal cream as an ingredient. The prices are actually not expensive, and the taste is top-notch.

Address: Ground floor shop 06, Building 56, Changying Minzu Jiayuan, Changying Middle Road, Chaoyang District.

94. Xingu Halal Charcoal BBQ.



This shop was originally labeled as Korean BBQ, but business was affected by the THAAD incident, so the owner removed the word Korean. After all, the owner is from Changying and has nothing to do with Korea.



Walk up the stairs to the second floor and you will find a hidden gem. The owner bought the whole building and rented the space next door to the Changying Three Brothers.



If you go in the afternoon, you do not need to wait in line. People say it was packed when it first opened, but business is not as good as before due to the THAAD incident.



The meat is fresh and the service is top-tier.



Servers help you grill the meat the whole time, so you do not need to do it yourself.



The lettuce is for wrapping the grilled meat.



You can also eat the steamed egg custard and cheese on the side of the grill.



Halal soybean paste soup (dajiangtang).



Dip the tender beef in five-spice seasoning to eat it.

Address: Opposite the south gate of Minzu Jiayuan residential area on Changying Middle Road, next to Yunding Billiards Club (west side of Minzu Primary School).

96. Beijing Dumpling House



I found an old Beijing halal dumpling house. People say they get a huge crowd for breakfast.

Address: 200 meters south of Ciqikou subway station.

97. Yijinzhai



They sell all kinds of old Beijing halal snacks and pastries.

Address: A row of storefronts next to the Changying Mosque.

98. Yongchang Old Restaurant



Yongchang is a place in Gansu. This shop serves home-style Northwest Chinese food, but it is not your typical Northwest restaurant. I saw many dish names for the first time, such as highland barley fish-shaped noodles (qingke mian cuoyu), old restaurant spicy noodles (laoguanzi mian lazi), and lamb nest rice (yangrou wowo fan).

Address: West side of the storefronts at 13 Guanzhuang Road, Haitianyise.

99. Daka Barbecue



The old halal seafood stall changed its sign and is now called Daka Barbecue. They have roasted squab and spicy crayfish here.

Address: Haitianyise storefronts, 13 Guanzhuang Road, Chaoyang District.

100. Silk Road Impression



For my 100th restaurant recommendation, I chose the newly renovated Silk Road Impression restaurant.



They have cold tossed mint leaves, which I previously only ate in Yunnan.



You can eat Kazakh-style potatoes here.

Address: 1st Floor, Building C, Wudong Building, 9 Chegongzhuang Street, Xicheng District (Beijing Drainage Group).

Summary: A top Beijing halal food guide from the capital series, covering hotpot, Northwest banquet dishes, Muslim restaurants, addresses, and original food photos without changing the source order.



The deep-sea fish in the hot pot set meal is especially fresh and tender.



The spicy crayfish (mala xiaolongxia) is great for an appetizer in the summer.

Address: Ground floor shops, Binfen Ludi City, Gaomidian, Daxing District

32. Zhongfayuan Northwest Feast



This is a high-end Northwest Chinese restaurant. It feels a bit more upscale than Yanlanlou. It is a chain brand, and there is also one in Shenzhen.



The restaurant is very large, and the tables are spaced far apart, making it a good place for chatting.



The menu features traditional Northwest dishes, but they are prepared more delicately, and there are also fusion dishes.



The seasoning is just right, and the ingredients are high quality.



The average cost is about 150 yuan per person, and the service is excellent.

Address:

2nd Floor, Block C, Oriental Media Center, No. 4 Guanghua Road, Chaoyang District.

33. Yiyuan Gourmet Tea House



This restaurant is hard to find because there is no halal sign outside.



The sign is inside. The owner is a Hui Muslim, and the restaurant is mid-to-high end.



It is both a tea house and a restaurant with a classic Chinese decor style.



The restaurant focuses on Cantonese and Beijing cuisine. This is the famous Cantonese dish stir-fried beef noodles (ganchao niuhe).



Stewed beef brisket with tomato (xihongshi dun niunan).



Braised oxtail (hongshao niuwei).



Traditional Beijing snack pea flour cake (wandouhuang).



Chicken with chestnuts (lizi jikuai). The restaurant is generally good. The environment, service, and food quality are all above average. The average cost per person is about 100 yuan.

Address: First floor of New Town International, Chaoyang District.

34. Yijinyuan



This is arguably the most expensive halal restaurant in Beijing, located near the University of International Business and Economics.



The exterior has a courtyard style, and the interior is very luxurious.



The lobby looks like a royal mansion, surrounded by private dining rooms.



Boiled fish (shuizhu yu). This place serves fusion cuisine. Besides Northwest Chinese food, they also have Cantonese and Sichuan dishes.



The food tastes great and the service is good. The only downside is the high price. The average cost per person is about 250 yuan.



Address:

Inside the east gate of the Longze Yuyue scenic area at the Yuan Dynasty City Wall Relics Park, Beitucheng East Road, Chaoyang District.

35. Xi'an Jiasan Steamed Buns (baozi)



This is the Beijing branch of the famous Xi'an Jiasan soup-filled steamed bun (guantang baozi) shop.



They sell various Xi'an halal snacks, including crumbled flatbread in soup (paomo), barbecue, and steamed beef with rice flour (fenzheng niurou).



Three-treasure covered bowl tea (sanpaotai gaiwancha)



For the soup-filled steamed buns, you should take a small bite first to drink the broth before eating the rest of the bun.



I quite like eating this mixed vegetable stew (huicai).



Eight-treasure porridge (babaozhou).

Address: No. 1A, Baiyunguan Street, Xicheng District.

36. Meisi Coffee



This cafe opened recently. It is a casual spot serving Western food and only non-alcoholic drinks in a spacious setting.



The shop displays the Shahada, confirming it is a halal cafe. Coffee drinking was first invented by Muslims in Damascus, Syria, and it took another hundred years for the first European cafe to open in France.



Niujie has been missing a quiet, elegant place for dates. Now that this cafe is here, there is finally a place to go.



I ordered a beef burger. It had many thick layers, and people with small mouths cannot even take a full bite.



The Australian steak was served with dried vegetables on the side. I am not used to eating raw meat, so I asked for it well-done.



Pan-fried salmon is fresh and delicious.



The pasta tastes very authentic.



I took a picture of the menu, which includes pizza. I will come back to try it next time.



Address: 100 meters south of the main gate of the Niujie Mosque.

37. Tongshunzhai Restaurant



I came here for the ox head feast, but once I arrived, I learned that it takes 10 people to finish one ox head.



The courtyard is large and spacious, and all the seating is in private rooms.



I looked at the menu and saw only heavy meat dishes. The waiter said that for three grown men, one oxtail would be enough.



So I ordered two cold dishes, shredded vegetables in sauce (bansansi).



And tofu with scallions (xiao cong ban doufu).



When the oxtail arrived, I was shocked. It was a full half-meter long and stewed until very tender.



The lamb strips (yangrou tiao) seemed a bit extra; we really couldn't eat any more.



Address: South entrance of Doudian Village, Fangshan District, Beijing.

38. 36 Degrees North Latitude Hot Pot



A very refined Qinghai-style hot pot restaurant that opened recently.



The environment is beautiful, it is not crowded, and the service is warm.



The beef and lamb all come from Qinghai.



We had the split pot (yuanyang guo), and the spicy side was not particularly hot.



Freshly sliced secret-recipe beef tenderloin.



Marbled beef (xuehua fu niurou).



Highland barley flatbread (qingke bing).



Address: B1, Huacai Commercial Center, Wangjing.

39. Yilao Hundred Flavors Dipping Sauce Hot Pot



A newly opened modern-style hot pot restaurant in Changying.



The signature dipping sauces come in a wide variety and are beautifully presented.





Silky fowl meat rolls.



High-calcium lamb.



The staff recommends the hand-beaten beef, a Chaoshan specialty; you can watch the chef beat the beef on-site.



Durian pastry, which smells fragrant and has a strong durian flavor.



The average cost is about 130 yuan per person, and you can buy group-purchase vouchers.

Address: No. 13 Changying Guanzhuang Road.

40. Huayunlou Steamed Dumpling (shaomai) Restaurant









This is a full-service halal restaurant famous for its steamed dumplings (shaomai). It has a great online reputation, good service, and many private rooms. They give you canned fruit when you order, and the cold lamb liver is delicious.

Address: No. 2 Zhanqian Road, Shahe Town, Changping District

41. Badao Noodles





Friends (dost) who want halal Chongqing-style spicy noodles and other noodle dishes are in luck, as these are hard to find even in the Sichuan and Chongqing regions.

Address: 798 Art Zone, No. 4 Jiuxianqiao Road (opposite the UCCA Center for Contemporary Art)

42. China Hezhou Beef Hand-Pulled Noodles (lamian)













This is the only hand-pulled noodle (lamian) shop I recommend. I found this kind-hearted noodle shop next to Shilihe Subway Station. It is run by people from Hezhou, Gansu, and they provide free noodles to sanitation workers and people who cannot afford a meal. The business is extremely busy, with lines stretching outside the door. Just order at the noodle pickup window when you enter, and a bowl of noodles is ready in seconds. The taste is also excellent.

Address: North Gate of Super 8 Hotel, Zuoan Road, Zuoanmen, Chaoyang District (south of Hongshan Jiayuan) view all
