川畝園麵食館 — Restaurant in Datong District

something comforting

in this back alley spot

slim pass into dining

as 4 hands expedite

don’t miss the condiments by the triple cauldron soup not-self-serve stn

top up on coriander pickled cabbage chili

this joint popped up on my “knife-cut noodle” search on here

had the beef soup noodle (which is beef chunks free — not unilaterally vegetarian — i’m more of a bipartisan on this front)

& just the standard 40nt green onion pancake — though one wrapped round beef is preferred

i got there at opening — 11 am & by 11:10

the place was full

on a Monday

two gals expediting two guys wokking

seems authentic in the “we’re from the motherland” northern-Chinese way

i think their hand-cut may be better experienced dry + sauce or sautéed as was the more popular choice when i glanced about

come here with your gf / work buddy

for a casual lunch

very filling go back to work for...

Went on a Saturday afternoon at around 12 as a solo diner. The lady at the front told me it would be faster if I ordered takeaway. So I did but I still waited 20 minutes. I saw the solo diner who came after me already got seated and I was still waiting for my food. That was a bit annoying. I should have just waited for dine-in, because take away definitely reduced the flavor of the food.

The soup dumplings were definitely one of the best I had with a lot of soup inside and very flavorful! That’s the 4 star. However, the beef roll was probably the worse I had, probably a 0 star if I can give it. Recommend you to NOT order that. It was soggy and the beef in there was super thin. Basically I felt like I was just eating a soggy mushy pancake. I threw it out after a few bites because it was disgusting. What a waste...

If you're in the Zhongshan shopping area and need to grab a quick bite without putting a dent in your wallet. This is the place to come! They have fried rice, noodles, soup noodles, and even some scallion pancake dishes.

The price for some of their dishes are a bit high because they are meant to be shared! I normally get the fried rice and scallion pancake over beef and NEVER finish it. An order of one of those is enough for one person.

Everything I have ordered there is good including all the fried rice, the stir fried noodles, beef noodles and scallion pancakes. I see a lot of people order the xiao long bao and dumplings too. However, keep in mind that things that need to be steamed tend to take a bit longer! Other than that, the employees are super nice and things tend to come...
