Summary: A Beijing halal restaurant guide for Ramadan-season dining, covering beef soup, old Beijing zhizi barbecue, Xi'an yangrou paomo (lamb soup with bread), pizza, and other qingzhen restaurants.

I am posting my tenth guide to Beijing's special halal food during Ramadan. This one took a long time because it is hard to find halal restaurants in Beijing I have not tried yet. I welcome all halal food lovers to share new spots with me. If you know a good place, do not keep it to yourself—please leave me a message.

151. Hu's Original Beef Soup (Huji Yuanzhi Niuroutang)



Last week, a friend stumbled upon a beef soup shop run by Hui Muslims from Huainan, Anhui. It has been open for over five years, and I only just found out about it. I tried local beef soup in Huai'an, Jiangsu last year, and now I have found authentic Huainan beef soup here in Beijing. It is similar to the Huai'an style but with a stronger flavor. One bowl of beef soup costs 18 yuan and you can add noodles or rice noodles. You can pair it with two sesame flatbreads (shaobing) for 2 yuan each; they have green onions inside and are very crispy. The shop has Anhui-style decor, is clean and tidy, and the service is great.













Address: First floor, Shuangtian Building, 30 Jia, North Third Ring West Road

152. Houweiju Old Beijing Iron Griddle Barbecue (Zizhikaorou)



Most old Beijing iron griddle barbecue spots are halal. This one is near Taoranting Park. It is spacious and popular. The meat is fresh and tender, and they have marinated eggplant that smells amazing when grilled. The prices are also very reasonable.







Address: 31 Nanwei Road, Xicheng District, Beijing (the first traffic light south of Xiaoxiang Building, then head west)

153. Qinshengxuan Xi'an Lamb Pita Bread Soup (Yangrou Paomo)



There are not many halal pita bread soup shops in Beijing. Besides Xi'an Restaurant, Old Yang's Pita Bread Soup, and Jia San Soup Dumplings, this is one of the most authentic ones. Of course, it cannot compare to the taste of the Muslim Quarter in Xi'an, but it is a shop with a good variety of pita bread soup.



Address: 40-10 North Third Ring Middle Road (near Taipingzhuang Bridge)

154. Laikebi Happy Pizza



This is a delicious and comfortable halal Western restaurant next to the University of Political Science and Law in Changping. Prices in Changping are lower than in the city center, so a simple pizza meal here only costs a few dozen yuan.

Many international students eat here at noon. I heard the owner opened another branch in Ningxia. Overall, it is great value for money.













Address: 17 Songyuan Road, Changping District, Beijing

155. First floor of Qianmen Old Zhalan Mall



After renovations, many old halal brands have moved into Qianmen Street. You can buy delicious chicken leg rice wraps at the takeout window of the Donglaishun Dazhalan branch.





The Old Zhalan food street now has new halal octopus balls and Korean-style spicy rice cakes.





Address: First floor, Jilong Old Zhalan Mall, 7 Dazhalan

156. Second floor food court of Qianmen 1796 Mall



The first floor of 1796 Mall sells clothing for seniors, while the second-floor food court is mostly halal snack stalls. They have Baye Halal Grilled Beef Scorpions, soybean paste noodles (zhajiangmian), meat pies (xianbing), spicy hot pot (malatang), and savory crepes (jianbing guozi), all of which are halal.







Address: Second floor, 1796 Mall, Qianmen Dazhalan Commercial Street

157. Hailiye Yunnan Halal Restaurant



This shop is in its trial opening phase. They do not sell alcohol, and the environment and food are both good. I tried the Zhaotong potato chicken, braised beef, black goat milk cheese, beef rice noodles, and passion fruit lemon juice. Everything was delicious. It is a good place for a date, and the average cost is 60 yuan per person.

















Address: First floor, World Financial Center.

158. Nangeng Street, Miyun District.



Nangeng Street is a halal food street in Miyun town. Many local restaurants are here, serving dumplings, seafood, barbecue, snacks, and hot pot. It is quite far from downtown Beijing. There is also an old mosque here, though its construction date is unknown.









Address: Nangeng Street, Miyun District, Beijing.

159. Tanghe Halal Restaurant.



This restaurant is inside the Gubei Water Town scenic area. You must buy a ticket to the scenic area to enter and eat.



Even though it is inside a tourist spot, the service and food quality are excellent, and the prices are cheap. There is a river right next to the restaurant. The outer walls are made of transparent glass, so you can enjoy the view while you eat.

Summary: A practical Beijing halal restaurant guide answering where to find halal food, from Gulan Renjia and restaurants near mosques to stews, craft-beer-style dining notes, and Jingnan hotpot.

When I reached the 9th installment of my Beijing halal dining guide series, I thought I was near the end. But I keep finding new and interesting halal restaurants that I just have to try. Thanks to contributions from followers and recommendations from foodie friends, I have reached the 12th installment. With a list of places I still want to visit, I think I will easily reach 200 restaurants.

Restaurant 169: Gulan Renjia



This small shop is in Doudian, Fangshan, not far from the Doudian mosque. I walked in after seeing a sign for dipping beef tripe (zhan niudu). I had this in Kaifeng, Henan, years ago and have never forgotten it.



They recently added roasted rabbit head to the menu. Rabbit meat is halal to eat. I once had halal spicy diced rabbit and Shuangliu rabbit head in Chengdu, Sichuan.



Their roasted steamed bun slices (kao mantou pian) are delicious. They are toasted until very crispy and sprinkled with barbecue seasoning, making them smell and taste great.



The dipping beef tripe is tender, but the flavor is a bit mild. The clay pot also comes with vegetables for dipping, so be careful not to burn your mouth.



Address: 50 meters north of the 993 bus terminal, south of Doudian Village, west side of the road.

Restaurant 170: Zhangji Dayangshu Restaurant



Zhangji is right across from the Doudian mosque. Many Hui Muslims in Doudian have the surname Zhang; the owner of the Tongshunzhai restaurant next door is also named Zhang. I have been here twice, and what impressed me most is how fast they serve the food.



Maybe it is because I usually order things that are already prepared, but their stir-fried dishes also come out incredibly fast. My food was ready by the time I finished washing my hands.



I recommend the mixed beef and lamb liver. They are very flavorful, and you can order a platter with a mix of different ingredients.



The lamb trotters are great for gnawing on and really satisfy a craving.



Address: Directly across from Doudian mosque.

Restaurant 171: Liangji Braised Noodles (huimian)



My last post recommended the spicy soup (hulatang) at Mawu in Zhongguancun, and the response was huge. This time, I am recommending a place for halal braised noodles. The noodles at Liangji are very fragrant and tasty.



Because it is in Huilongguan, far from the city center, the spicy soup is only 10 yuan a bowl.



The overall style is very Central Plains, and the shop always plays Henan opera.



The pan-fried buns (shuijianbao) are not as authentic as Mawu's and cost 5 yuan each, but they taste okay. In Henan, you can get three for 1 yuan.



Spicy soup recipes vary wildly, and Liangji's version is not as spicy as the one at Mawu.



The braised noodles are decent, though of course they cannot compare to the ones in Zhengzhou.



Address: Unit 104, Ganglong Commercial Area, 18 Huilongguan West Street, Changping District (east side of Industrial and Commercial Bank of China) (Huilong Clearance Center).

Restaurant 172: Guan Craft Beer Restaurant



This place is quite unique. Although it is a bar, it serves halal food. The owner is a Hui Muslim from Beijing.







They have burgers, pizza, seafood barbecue, and cold vegetable dishes. It is a mix of Chinese and Western styles, blending local and international flavors.



The food is quite tasty.







Address: Courtyard 35, Huilongguan West Street.

Shop 173: Erjie Earth Pot Stew (Erjie Diguo Dun).



Xueying Village in Daxing is a treasure. The area is surrounded by halal restaurants, and a common feature of halal spots in Daxing is that they have plenty of space.



Erjie Earth Pot Stew is run by a woman from Heilongjiang nicknamed Erjie. Both Erjie and her sister, Sansan, work there, and all the staff are young women from Heilongjiang.



The portion in this large iron pot is enough for 10 people.



We chose a pot of beef tendon and brisket (jintou banao), and this huge pot of meat only cost 158 yuan.



We added some fish tofu, corn on the cob, black wood ear mushrooms, and potatoes, then let it stew and stew...



For our staple food, we had unleavened steamed flower rolls (huajuan). We placed them right in the pot, and they were cooked in no time.



The pot was filled with a fragrant, delicious meal. Three of us ate for a long time, but the amount barely went down. The portions are truly huge, so I suggest coming with at least 5 people.



Address: No. 6, North Fourth Alley, Qingren Road, Daxing District.

Shop 174: Jingnan First Hot Pot (Jingnan Diyi Shuan).



This is a massive farmhouse-style restaurant. It must be the largest hot pot place in Beijing, and there is free parking in the courtyard.



The owner has their own farm, which provides their own vegetables and homemade tofu.



No matter how many people are in your group, you get a private room. These private spaces are great for chatting and are not as noisy as a main dining hall.



Besides hot pot, they have a full range of stir-fried dishes and snacks.



The quality of the meat is good, and there is no foam in the broth after boiling the meat.



The red willow skewer barbecue (hongliu kaorou) is 15 yuan per skewer, which is a very fair price.



Address: No. 1 Jia, Qingzheng Road, Xueying Village, Panggezhuang, Daxing District.

Shop 175: Runde Xuan Halal Restaurant.



It follows the Daxing tradition of having spacious halal restaurants. You can see the huge sign from the Line 4 subway.



This place is a full-service halal restaurant with over a hundred different dishes.



They serve hot pot, lamb spine (yangxiezi), and flour-based dishes like pot stickers (guotie).



The beef in the stewed beef brisket with potatoes is delicious.



Address: No. 14 Hongsheng Road, North Second Street, Xihongmen, Daxing District (300 meters north of Xihongmen Subway Station, on the east side of the road).

No. 176: Azhen Taste Rice Noodles (Azhen Weidao Mifan).



This shop moved here from its original location in Weigongcun and occupies two floors. They offer two choices: chicken rice noodles and beef rice noodles.



Rice noodles are common in many regions, but this place serves Xinjiang-style rice noodles.



I had the cold chicken rice noodles, mild spicy, but it was still a bit too spicy for me.



Address: Building 5, 2nd Floor, No. 18 Minda West Road.

No. 177: HI HELLO Western-style Grilled Rice.



This is one of the few halal shops in Weigongcun that does not serve Xinjiang or Northwest Chinese cuisine; they make Western-style fast food.



It is very busy at lunchtime. You order and pay by phone yourself, which is very convenient.



I had the spaghetti with steak, and a large portion was only 38 yuan.



Address: Shop 4, Ground Floor, Building 2, Weibohao Garden.

No. 178: Musefilin Xinjiang Restaurant.



Although Xinjiang restaurants are common, this one is worth recommending first because the food tastes good, and second, the decor is quite modern, making it suitable for dates.



The guy at the front desk is a Uyghur, and he is very handsome.



The yogurt is very sweet and has a good texture.



The grilled lamb liver is truly fresh and tender; I wanted more after eating it.



The spicy lamb trotters (hula yangti) are mild spicy and very flavorful.



Thin-skinned steamed buns (baopi baozi) are a Xinjiang specialty. You have to wait a while for this dish because they wrap and steam them to order.



You have to pair grilled meat with flatbread (nang). Overall, the food at this shop is really good. Every dish is made with care, and it is worth a try.



Address: No. 27 Xidawang Road, Chaoyang District. It is right at the exit of Pingleyuan Station on Subway Line 14.

Summary: A local Beijing halal restaurant guide covering Fireside, Yan Hotpot, Asian Tribe, Indian food, hotpot dishes, and restaurant addresses, with the original notes and images aligned.

Note:

This is not a marketing account. I do not have a search function or auto-replies. I only use this to record bits of my life. The main content is information about halal restaurants I have visited. The photos are taken with my phone. This is purely a friendly share, and you do not need my permission to repost.

No. 160: Fireside (Rongshi)



There is a stylish halal restaurant called Fireside in Building E of The Place (Shimao Tianjie). They serve French and other Western dishes. People say a Michelin-starred chef is in charge. Business is booming, and the environment is elegant, making it suitable for dates and gatherings. However, the price is a bit high, with an average cost of about 200 yuan per person.







I carefully observed the decoration of this shop. The craftsmanship is exquisite, and the bathroom fixtures are all famous brands.



Five-grain sticky rice duck (wugu zaliang nuomi ya)



Cuttlefish ink braised Australian beef with green onions. The black part on top is cuttlefish ink, which is edible. The Australian beef is truly delicious, fresh, tender, and juicy.



Tiger prawns and asparagus with seared scallops



Foie gras risotto. Foie gras is a common and expensive ingredient in French cuisine. It has a delicate texture and melts in your mouth.



Address: 1st Floor, Building E, No. 9 Jinhui Road

No. 161: Yan Hot Pot (Yan Huoguo)



Yan Hot Pot is a Sichuan-style hot pot series brand launched by the Yanlanlou Chaowai Street branch. Halal Sichuan hot pot is rare in Beijing. During the current promotion, everything is 32% off.







Fresh beef tripe (xian maodu), a must-order for Sichuan hot pot



Complimentary sour plum drink (suanmeitang)





Split pot (yuanyang guo), but I mainly eat from the spicy side. Available soup bases include beef tallow spicy, clear oil spicy, and old-jar pickled cabbage.



Address: 4th Floor, Kuntai Mall, Chaoyang District, Yanlanlou Chaowai Street branch

No. 162: Asian Tribe 7 (Yazhou Buluo 7)



I found a halal Indian restaurant near Changyang in Fangshan District. Most Indian restaurants in Beijing have a halal sign, but when I went to eat at the Saduri Indian restaurant in Nanluoguxiang a while ago, the owner told me that many Indian restaurants only have the sign, but they cannot guarantee that the owner, staff, or ingredients are actually halal. You have to judge for yourself whether it is okay to eat there.



This shop does not sell beef because Hindus do not eat beef.





Indian yogurt drink (lassi), very sour.











Address: Room 207, 2nd Floor, Building 1, Changyang Peninsula Golden Street, Fangshan District

No. 163: Guoguojiao Spicy Pot (Guoguojiao Malaxiangguo)



A halal spicy pot (malaxiangguo) shop near Gaomidian in Daxing District. The shop sign says it is the first halal spicy pot in Beijing, but as far as I know, at least before 2014, the halal canteen at Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications was already selling halal spicy pot.



It is right next to the Starlight Film and Television Base.



The environment is quite nice and spacious, and the spicy dry pot (xiangguo) tastes good too.



Address: Unit 107, Building 1, Courtyard 39, Chunhe Road, Daxing District.

No. 164 A.

Gumiandao.



This is a stylish Qinghai-style noodle shop run by Salar people, featuring improved versions of traditional Northwest noodles.



While waiting for a table, the staff serves free fruit. You order by scanning a QR code on the table, which saves time, reduces the number of staff needed, and lowers costs. I heard the owner of this shop is the same person behind Salahua, which is quite successful. I hope more creative halal restaurants will adopt advanced management ideas and break from tradition to attract more diners and build their own brands.



Yak meat kung fu noodles.





Address: Basement Level 1, Hopson One, Chaoyang District, Midnight Canteen.

No. 165 Wanzhenlou Restaurant.



Fangshan District has many unique halal restaurants. This one specializes in halal Korean-style iron plate barbecue buffet and hot pot buffet.



The group-buy price for the barbecue buffet is 128 per person, including steak, lamb chops, seafood, and Japanese food.









Ready-to-eat crayfish.



After picking your ingredients, hand them to the young man, then sit in a circle and wait to eat.



Address: Zhuochen Building, No. 12 Xilu South Street, Liangxiang, Fangshan District.

No. 166 Tanguoju.



A Beijing-style lamb spine hot pot restaurant in Fengtai District that uses cloisonné (jingtailan) copper pots.





The lamb spine tastes fine; it is better when cooked until very tender. You can also have some barbecue in the summer.



Address: Shop 23, Building 8, Courtyard 7, Fengqiao Road.

No. 167 Taiwan Gongcha.



A Taiwan Gongcha tea bar has opened inside the Niujie Ethnic Goods Store, and the staff are all Hui Muslims.



During the grand opening, the second cup is half price.



No. 168 Guhuai Street Mawu Spicy Soup and Pan-fried Buns.



Henan is full of spicy soup (hulatang) and braised noodle (huimian) shops, and most are halal. It is not easy to find halal spicy soup in Beijing, so I am finally getting my fill. Guhuai Street Mawu Spicy Soup is a well-known brand from Xuchang, and the taste at this shop is very authentic.





The pan-fried buns (shuijianbao) have a crispy crust and are filled with beef.



The spicy pepper soup (hulatang) has a mild kick and contains large chunks of beef.



Address: Phase II, Shibao Street, Haidian District.
