Beijing

Restaurant Beijing has been a Chinatown mainstay since 1989, drawing a mix of loyal regulars and curious newcomers. Known for its sprawling menu, the spot serves Cantonese staples like sweet and sour pork and peanut butter dumplings alongside adventurous off-menu options like razor clams and black-bean snails. The sizzling clay pot chicken with gizzards and wings—jeh jeh gai bo—is a standout for those in the know.

This old-school eatery is a haven for bold flavours and variety. While the food consistently earns high praise, the ambiance and service can polarize diners. The bustling vibe, dated decor, and less-than-spotless bathrooms might not appeal to everyone, but the kitchen’s quality keeps fans coming back.
