A Bite of Beijing 北京味道 — Restaurant in Fredericton

Authentic, skilled and delicious! Their menu has a focus on Northern Chinese food, along with a greatest hits of various other regional Chinese cuisine.

The Hong Shao Rou was tender, meaning they took their time to braise the beef.

The Squid (on rice) had just the right amount of pop, where often it is overcooked even at authentic restaurants.

The Jianbing was well composed and balanced, soft and crunchy.

The siumai the right amount of springy.

The handmade noodles were chewy and not too thick. Well cooked in both the Jiajianmian and the Hong Shao Rou, the latter having a broth with a delicious note of 5 spice with the Star Anise singing through.

Portions are fair for the price, filling, and they don't skimp on ingredients; though a place in Toronto might offer a similar meal for less or a greater portion. Keep in mind that ingredient cost is probably lower in a bigger city with more suppliers, as is competition.

I don't even have time to sing the praises of their milk tea with cream cheese foam, and their fantastically flakey egg tarts.

A Bite of Beijing is not shy of providing an authentic Chinese food experience and does so with great care in their craft, which shines through with each first bite, down to the last piece.

It easily takes the spot as best authentic Chinese food in New Brunswick. Although in my experience, the dishes they serve easily rival and beat out a lot of the aforementioned authentic restaurants in Toronto. And it does so with highly skilled and time consuming technique, across a variety of cuisines.

I've been in NB for the better of 8 years. A Bite of Beijing is the place I've been wishing to find...

I was in Fredericton to see the dance competitions being held at the Convention Centre. The day before, I had noticed A Bite of Beijing, which is just a short walk away from the centre, and decided I'd pay them a visit. I was greeted by a very friendly lady who took my order. I asked for a large bowl of wonton soup and an order of spring rolls. My back was hurting so I wasted no time and sat down. I was relieved to see that they had some cushions on a bench against the wall. Great back support! I was expecting the lady to just holler when my food was ready, but, she brought the food right to me. Not only did she have what I had asked for, but she gave me some sesame balls and a green tea, telling me that I could have them for free. I thanked her and told her how sweet she was. The food was delicious! There was an extra layer of flavour to the wonton soup and I look forward to having another...

Great original Chinese food Did you know

The Qing dynasty was a major period in the formation of Beijing cuisine. Before the Boxer Rebellion, the foodservice establishments in Beijing were strictly stratified by the foodservice guild. Each category of the establishment was specifically based on its ability to provide for a particular segment of the market. The top ranking foodservice establishments served nobles, aristocrats, and wealthy merchants and landlords, while lower ranking foodservice establishments served the populace of lower financial and social status. It was during this period when Beijing cuisine gained fame and became recognised by the Chinese culinary society, and the stratification of the foodservice was one of its most obvious characteristics as part of its culinary and gastronomic cultures during this first peak of its...
