Yuxiang Renjia (Lidu)
What the experts agree on
This long-standing Sichuan chain has outlasted countless competitors by delivering authentic, affordable food that even locals prefer. Multiple locations across Beijing offer the same reliable quality at better prices than fancier alternatives.
“Yuxiang Renjia opened in 1998, and is still going strong, despite the establishment of a slew of new Sichuanese competitors.”
