This restaurant has a wonderful variety of traditional Chinese cuisine. It specializes in crayfish and Peking duck. It's a great place to bring visitors from abroad. The food is good and they have a lively stage show that's very entertaining.

Great price for what is offered. Different options for everyone. Food was delicious. With your friends you can share table and every dish. If you like to try spicy Chinese food visit this place.

After visiting Huajia Yiyuan restaurant in Beijing, I am learning to love Chinese! I was not necessarily a fan of Chinese food until this trip, but have definitely done a 360!

Our hotel was nearby and they recommended this restaurant for the Peking Duck. We turned up and were drawn in by the ducks hanging in the window and chefs busy slicing them. While there were some groups of western tourists there were also plenty of...Chinese. We were assisted by Jacky who spoke good English and encouraged us to wait for a table in the main room so we could watch the show. At this time there were some musicians playing traditional instruments. Once seated we navigated the menu (pictures and some English ). As the duck takes some time we ordered some pork balls and wok fried beans with pork to start. Sensational! Jacky also threw in a duck soup as well- very tasty. It so happened that an Australian chardonnay was on the specials list that night so we couldn't say no. The duck arrived in all its glory, expertly sliced and beautifully presented with vegetable and sauce accompaniments and beautiful delicate rolled pancakes. We ate the lot. Meanwhile the show continued with a magician, an opera singer and an amazing man who managed to change face masks with a twitch of his cape. This feast and entertainment cost us just over 500rmb. It was a memorable evening with great food and helpful service. Highly recommended!More

Good atmosphere at the courtyard. Not very sophisticated food but very good traditional food. Had the duck and some pork Kung pai and some additional appetizers.

The duck was excellent. We also had braised green beans which were also delicious. I especially loved the ambience. I would recommend this as a great tourist experience.

I was introduced to this restaurant by an expat about 10 years ago and I keep going back every time I'm in town. So I've been to it about 6-7 times. I also recommend it to all of my friends heading to Beijing. Why? Because...the food is in excellent quality, the dishes are both well prepared and presented. The atmosphere is very authentic and you see a lot of locals. It has served quite a few (western) celebrities, too. At 8 pm they also have a kind of a show to entertain the guests. As in many restaurants in China you can bring your own alcohol for no charge. It's not about making your bill smaller but have a drink you really like with such a good food. Especially handy in case your drink is wine. There is pretty decent selection of wines in the store just next door.More

A fabulous find, scrumptious food especially the Peking Duck, and authentic Chinese entertainment. So much so we went back for a second time! Special thanks to Jackie for looking after us so well on both occasions!

This might not be the most ‘traditional’ duck restaurant in Beijing but it is the one I most frequent. Get a table in the main restaurant if you want to watch the show (includes magic, music, peking opera as well as balloon models for the...kids. It starts from around 7pm-830pm), a table outside if you want to smoke or a private room if you want to be noisy! If you have WeChat add their English speaking waiter Jackie — jackiejia4 — hewill help you book a table and assist you all evening (really useful if any guests have allergies or special requirements) also tip-top: they do sell alcohol but we always bring our own. Oh, and it’s buy one get one free on beers during the week! It gets busy around showtime and national holidays (so, again, get in touch with Jackie before hand and he will get you a good table!)More

This restaurant is an experience and really recommended. The atmosphere is rather genuine, the personnel is friendly, competent and quick. All the dishes we tried, including the signature Peking duck, were delicious. Book in advance unless you want to wait for a table.

the 398 meal has a lot of food-roasted duck, fish, beef. It's almost enough for 2 meals and the tastes are fine. except that roasted duck bones were not well done...

We had Peking duck on our culinary bucket list and this place popped up on trip adviser in the top ten places to have it in Beijing - and was only 500m from our hotel! There was a wait system with seating outside (the sign...of any truly great restaurant in Beijing it seems) but we didn’t have to wait long. The menu had English descriptions as well as images and a couple of the wait staff spoke excellent English too. We had the dumplings which were some of, if not the best we’ve ever had, followed by our Peking Duck. It was incredible. I’m not normally a skin person but I made an exception and wow it did not disappoint. Such a great meal and at a very reasonable price too.More
