Beijing Must Eat - All under one roof 💫

If you’re diving into Beijing eats for the first time (or even if you’re a local ready to indulge!), this restaurant on main Qianmen Street is a total must-visit for foodies. It’s named after its top hit – the iconic Door Nail Dumpling (门钉肉饼), and tbh, the food here slaps! The spot is at the far end of Qianmen Street, and you’ll definitely notice how SPACIOUS and squeaky clean it is. Bonus points for lightning-fast service – your dishes come out hot and ready before you know it!

Let’s talk highlights:

Signature Door Nail Dumplings: These are next-level juicy and served piping hot – warning: steam alert 🚨! Use both chopsticks and a spoon for max safety and style. They’re the perfect starter for any Beijing snack adventure.

Wonton Soup: Absolute comfort in a bowl! The dumplings are huge and packed with meat – so good and super satisfying.

Beijing DouZhi (Fermented mung bean beverage) with JiaoQuan (crispy fried rings): The drink is tangy and sour, but not as scary as the internet claims. Still, it’s definitely one for the brave – I tried it once, but probably wouldn’t go for a repeat (unless you’re a snack daredevil 🤪).

Pan-fried Vege Pot Stickers: Stuffed with sweet, crunchy cabbage and zucchini, these are so light and delish – the perfect bite if you need a veggie balance.

Deep Fried Sausage: Beijing’s answer to comfort snacks. Thin, crispy slices with a tender center. Trust me, everyone loves these!

Pickled Cabbage Fish: Flavor BOMB 💣! The gravy is so tasty it’ll make you want extra rice just to soak it all up.

With over 30 dishes on the menu, this spot is ideal if you wanna go wild sampling Beijing flavors. Perfect stop for lunch or dinner after touring Qianmen Street.

Location: At the end of Qianmen Street, Beijing City (just search “门钉肉饼” on trip.com for details!)
Opening hours: Usually 10:30am – 10:00pm (but check trip.com for the latest info).

Pull up with a foodie squad or solo – you’re gonna be spoiled for choice here. From local classics to snack surprises, this place is a vibe!
