Is it worth the splurge, and do I need to book ahead on a weekend? Also curious what the dry aged ribeye runs these days.

the grill house does a solid steak but honestly march is still cold enough that the patio wont be open, and the inside gets loud on weekends. i'd look at the dry aged stuff at the opposite house in sanlitun instead, similar money but quieter room. book friday morning at the latest either way, saturdays fill up fast once the weather turns

yeah the opposite house room is quieter but their dry aged program is smaller, only a couple cuts on most nights. call ahead and ask what's actually aged that week or u might get a plain ribeye at aged prices. friday morning is cutting it close tbh

honestly the butchers counter at jing yaa in guomao beats both for dry aged cuts and they dont take bookings anyway

been there a few times. the dry aged ribeye was around 580 last time i checked, maybe higher now with the way beef prices have gone. honestly for that money i'd rather do the picanha at the brazilian place on xinyuan li or just grab a ribeye from the import butcher at sanlitun and cook it myself. if u do go, book by thursday for a saturday, walk ins get nothing

thursday for saturday is right, walk in by 6:30 or forget it

Agreed, though Friday lunchtime still gets you a table if you call rather than use the app.

Beijing tax number registration 2026 for foreigners

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.

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.
