Jubaoyuan Hot Pot Restaurant — Restaurant in Beijing

My favorite lamb hotpot place, located on Niu Jie, which is the gathering of Chinese Muslims known for top quality lamb and beef. Warning 1: no reservation and the wait can be long.

Tips: show the items below to the waiter. 清汤锅底 Plain soup base, which goes best with top quality meat. 麻酱 Sesame based dipping sauce 鲜羊上脑 Lamb tenderloin, fresh as opposed to frozen 鲜手切羊肉 Fresh hand cut lamb 自制牛肉丸 House made beef meatballs 茼蒿 A type of leafy vegetable for hot pot 芝麻烧饼 Sesame bread, so good that supply is limited up to 3 pieces per person.

For each person, order 1-2 dishes of meat.

It will be 100% local experience, with minimum service yet absolutely delicious...
