An inviting old-world ambiance and delicious food have earned the Yuan Yuan Restaurant a loyal following among discerning diners. Located in the Grand Hotel, the restaurant seats up to 100, with 32 tables and one private dining area. The square wooden tables are evenly arranged and paired with elegant stools. The décor is tasteful without being ostentatious, and the staff beckon with a warm welcome, recalling the feeling of a northern Chinese inn.
The restaurant has an open kitchen, so patrons can see their food as its made. The menu brings together an array of northern Chinese fare, from dim sum and light snack dishes to noodles, bing and dumplings. House specialties include dumplings with soup inside, chicken soup, spring rolls, crispy "crab shell" pastries (stuffed with scallions), chow mein, steamed dumplings, stir-fried rice cake, fried dumplings, braised noodles, stir-fried vegetables, and other popular dishes. Yuan Yuan is also famous for its steamed rice cake with red beans.
