Hua Jia Yi Yuan

You can choose the upstairs dining room, plush with red velvet and soft lighting for a more modern and romantic feel. If that does not suit you, only a short stroll through the downstairs courtyard is a more traditional hutong style area, exactly like you picture from and old movie.

For the jet-set, private and luxurious rooms are also available for business meetings or for really impressing your significant other.

The traditional noodle dancers, tea house dancers and Beijing hawkers in the main dining room will certainly call you over from where ever you have chosen to dine to enjoy the performance.

Alright-to the meat of the matter, and as always drinks up first. In response to the client's wishes and admitting that Chinese beer has a long way to go, top shelf German brews Moechshof are available on tap or in your very own 500ml party keg. A good choice when you dig into the rich and crispy Beijing style food.

For those of you wanting to remember the evening a tad better the house specialty green bean juice is a great alternative. Chinese sweet red, white and green beans are new to the Western palate and we are most familiar with them in flaky buns and other sweets.
