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.

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.

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 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.
