🇺🇸 LA | A Rare Gem: Michelin-Recommended Chinese Cuisine 🥢

Touted as a must-try Beijing-style restaurant, this former Michelin ⭐ spot is set in a converted traditional Chinese courtyard. Think grey bricks, wooden beams, and warm yellow lanterns 🏮. The tables are well-spaced, and service is smooth and well-paced 👌🍽️. We drove an hour just to dine here — and it was worth it! With generous portions at around $100 per person, the value is remarkable for a Michelin-level experience. 🍖 Suzao Pork Terrine ⭐⭐⭐✨ Firm yet tender slices of pork trotter jelly that melt into a rich, aromatic broth in your mouth. The braised flavor carries subtle herbal notes, perfectly balanced with a tangy garlic-vinegar dip. 🌯 Beijing-Style Fried Pork Strips ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Glossy, savory-sweet shredded pork wrapped in thin, chewy spring pancakes. The generous fresh scallions and crisp cucumber add layers of texture and freshness — a true flavor explosion with every bite! 💥🥒 🍲 Braised Pork Belly in Clay Pot ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Classic three-layered pork belly, stewed until the fat turns translucent and the lean meat is fall-apart tender. The sauce is rich but not overly sweet, clinging to each strand of meat. Thick-cut shiitake mushrooms add a bouncy texture, and the radish soaks up all the delicious richness. 🥘 Scallion & Beef Tendon with Sea Cucumber ⭐⭐⭐✨ The sauce is incredibly thick and collagen-rich — you can see the gloss! 🧈 Beef tendon is crispy outside, sticky and soft inside; sea cucumber is springy yet tender. Infused with scallion flavor, it’s a perfect pairing with steamed rice. 🌶️ Mapo Tofu with Cod ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Soft tofu cubes bathed in a vibrant red sauce — spicy but not overwhelming, with a strong fermented bean aroma. The cod is pan-seared with a slight crisp outside and tender inside. While the cod’s delicate flavor gets a bit lost, the dish is still wonderfully hot and flavorful — ideal with rice! 🍚🔥 🥬 Stir-Fried Asparagus & Okra Salad Solid and well-executed, though not particularly standout. 📍 Bistro Na’s A memorable meal — truly deserving of the praise! 🙌 #BistroNas #MichelinDining #ChineseCuisine #LAEats #BeijingFood #FoodReview #MichelinWorthy
