This authentic Shandong restaurant that resembles a scene from Kung Fu movies is known for gigantic, sumptuously stuffed dumplings. For the past three decades, it has been frequented by people living around the National Theater and Linsen South Road, including political and business heavyweights.

Among Dragon Inn’s best sellers, the unforgettable pork dumplings are crispy cabbage and pork smoothly wrapped in handmade dough and dressed with sesame oil; the half-tendon, half-meat, pleasantly salty beef noodles combine braised broth, handmade noodles and beef that is never too mushy; the crispy garlic patties are thin, deep-fried ribs covered in yam powder. In addition to its unostentatiously tasty Egg Drop Soup, Dragon Inn’s side dishes: stewed pork/beef offal, among others, are simply unparalleled, especially when served along with beer.
