BEIJING 川味居

This is a really upscale smaller authentic Chinese restaurant. We enjoyed all the dishes but were a little disappointed we had to pay extra for rice, and that the $18 beef dish was mostly onions. Besides that, happy with service who continually refilled our water and everything was fast. The inside feels very modern Chinese and I enjoyed the cleanliness of the restrooms and restaurant. I recommend the fried buns with pork, but I wish they served it with something besides raw onions, perhaps some freshly spiraled cucumbers? Or maybe make it an option to have grilled onions with it. The chow fun was a very generous and a delicious size with plenty of meat, which the Mongolian beef wasn’t, it should have been called Mongolian onions with a sprinkle of beef pieces. The mapotofu is made with a numbing spice which we weren’t used to, it wasn’t overwhelming but I’d stay away if you don’t like numbing spices. The restaurant makes everyone feel very Chinese when the existing place settings don’t have forks. I’d suggest having bowls and spoons and forks for everyone, especially if they’re eating family style. The just plates was too American for me but the chopsticks was a redeeming factor. I’m leaving four stars because there wasn’t enough meat and we had to pay for rice.

General tacos chicken was great, tangy and sweet and crisp. The chicken with green beans was good. Wanted more spice to it. I was going to ask for something spicy to add to it. But they never came back to check on us after we received our food. The scallion pancake is delicious. Crisp and soft and savory with green onion. This was my favorite thing. Rice was $1 on the side. Dishes do not come with rice. Price is descent. Place was clean and nice. Service was nice but they didn't check on us very much. There were only 4 tables in the whole restaurant for lunch. But I want to go back and try more.

Clean and cozy environment with friendly service. We ordered the Spicy Chicken, Braised Pork with Preserved Vegetables, and Sliced Beef & Ox Tongue in Chili Sauce — all of them were fantastic! The spicy chicken was crispy and flavorful, the braised pork was tender and rich without being greasy, and the beef and tongue dish was perfectly seasoned with that authentic Sichuan kick. Highly recommended for anyone craving real Sichuan flavors!

I saw this recommended on a food page I follow. I knew my husband and I had to try it immediately. We are snobs when it comes to food Chinese food. We absolutely loved this place. Great and fast service, we came on Saturday evening. Everything was delicious. Definitely would recommend getting the “cucumber salad” on the appetizers, it’s the classic spicy garlic cucumbers. SO good. We also got the 麻婆豆腐 (Spicy tofu), chicken fried rice, 水餃🥟，and their 金盆水煮魚（fresh fish soup under chef special). Everything was so yummy and we can’t wait to come back to eat more. We live about an hour away but definitely worth the drive.

Really happy with the food here! Authentic Sichuan (Szechuan) dishes that aren't overly Americanized/sweet. Standouts were: Sliced Pork Belly In Garlic Sauce (蒜泥白肉), Chongqing Chili Chicken. Good restaurant if you can handle the spice. Great service and decor too. Will def be back to try more stuff
