📍 69 Fangzhuanchang Hutong, near Qianmen Street, Beijing

A Michelin-recommended gem nestled in the bustling heart of Qianmen, Fangzhuanchang 69 Zha Jiang Mian is beloved for its deeply authentic flavors and nostalgic charm. Originally operating from a traditional courtyard home, the restaurant has preserved its homestyle roots — a detail that famously resonated with celebrity chef Nicholas Tse, who called it the most “authentic Zha Jiang Mian in a true Beijing home.”

🍖 Why It’s Special
Their signature Zha Jiang Mian features springy hand-pulled noodles topped with small-batch dry-fried soybean paste made from chunky five-spice pork. The meat is perfectly balanced — not too fatty, not too lean — and the “dry” style separates oil from paste, delivering deep umami in every bite.

🌟 Highlights
• Michelin-recommended multiple years
• Generous free refills on noodles and sauce
