张妈妈特色川味馆 — Restaurant in Beijing

This review is for the location in the alleyway, not the 76 Jiaodaokuo South located on the main street. We came due to recommendation by Lonely Planet and TripAdvisor, but since the location on the main street was busy, we decided to try the alleyway one.

We ordered the spicy bowl dip that everyone suggested. The dip was barely warm, which meant all the food we dipped were also lukewarm. Really wanted to like it but it tasted awful. Waited about 25 min for our food and received only 1 dish, meanwhile tables after us were quickly getting their food. So we decided to get our check and bounce.

In summary: The diners sharing our table were very helpful and friendly. The place is your typical hole in the wall venue. Menu is only in Chinese with no pictures.

真的是慕名而去，关注了好几年了，一直没机会去，最近一直住在附近，还是有不少机会的，周末正好去拔了草，怕上个月一样排大队，所以下午4点半就到了，竟然还在排队！还好等了5分钟就有拼桌了。 点了网上推荐的钵钵鸡、宫保鸡丁、担担面 钵钵鸡，我是第一次吃，老婆大人曾经在重庆（要么就是成都）吃过好几次，说那边的很好吃，这里的味道跟那边差不多，算比较正的，要的微辣，这已经辣的不行了！！不过还好蔬菜1块钱一串，比重庆（要么是成都）贵很多，不过没办法，谁让这里是帝都。。。最爱的是鸡皮！油豆腐、面筋、海带 担担面是四川本地的干拌做法，老婆大人说四川那边人吃担担面全都是干拌的，基本不吃汤汤水水的。口味很正，麻劲儿十足！ 宫保鸡丁是我在北京吃过的除峨眉酒家外最地道的一个（四川饭店什么的没时间去，不做评论，只针对普通馆子），眉州东坡的都不行。唯一的缺点就是量少了点儿，花生很多很多，但是很脆，是新炸的，大葱节不辣，是甜的，鸡肉比较少，很遗憾； 张妈妈小炒看拼桌的小夫妻吃了，辣椒N多...暂时不会尝试。。...

Some of the best Kung Pao chicken you'll ever have. Get the Sichuan lychee chicken dish; it was the perfect balance between...
