Yuxiang Renjia (Yúxiangrénjia)

Yuxiang Renjia (Yúxiangrénjia) Review

Of the many Sichuan restaurants in Beijing, the Yuxiang Renjia chain is the top choice for many Sichuan natives living in the capital. Huge earthen vats filled with pickled vegetables, hanging bunches of dried peppers and garlic, and simply dressed servers evoke the Sichuan countryside. The restaurant does an excellent job of preparing provincial classics such as gongbao jiding (diced chicken stir-fried with peanuts and dried peppers) and ganbian sijidou (green beans stir-fried with olive leaves and minced pork). Thirty different Sichuan snacks are served for lunch on weekends, all at very reasonable prices. There are now more than a dozen locations around the city.
