Best steak in Beijing near The Grill House 2026

fmd_goodThe Grill House · #steakhouse #steak
I'm visiting Beijing next month and The Grill House keeps coming up when I search for a proper steakhouse. Is it worth booking ahead in 2026, and what cut do people usually go for there?

Ribeye, book two weeks out.

Dry aged, and ask for the bone-in.

bone-in takes longer to cook, order it first thing

Agreed, though the tomahawk is the one worth asking about.

the aged stuff can run out before spring festival so call a few days before you go

Worth knowing the aged cuts get thin right before chunjie, so call a few days ahead rather than just turning up. Otherwise the kitchen handles a thick cut fine any normal week.

two weeks is right for weekends but a tuesday you can usually walk in around 8

Book early if your trip lands near Chunyun, the pre-holiday week gets packed with office dinners.

I've got the online application open but I'm stuck on the part asking for a local address and phone number, which I don't have yet. Anyone know if I can put a temporary address or if I need to wait until I've got a lease?

Wait for the lease, address gets cross-checked.

yeah the fapiao system checks it against ur lease

Landlord's name on the contract matters more.

True, and the name has to match the fangben exactly, character for character, or the window rejects it.

arrow_drop_up 1 arrow_drop_down

cross-check happens at the lease stamp date too

Stamped date on the contract, not the move-in date.

Agree, but the online form lets you save a draft for 30 days.

Fair point, though the cross-check only bites once you file the annual reconciliation, not at initial registration.

honestly the phone number field trips up most people. you can use your hotel or serviced apartment number if u have one booked, they mainly need a reachable contact. the tax bureau at Jiuxianqiao usually accepts that for the initial registration.

Chaoyang tax office moved to Shunyi in 2024.
