Steakhouse scam near The Grill House Beijing 2026?
Watch for the "half price tonight" line.
Yep, and they'll quote a price per 100g so teh "half price" bill still lands at 800 kuai before you've ordered drinks.
ask what half price means, per plate or per jin
per jin, every time, and the scale's rigged
Happens along Gongti Beilu too, same script.
They also flash a laminated menu with no prices printed, so ask to see the real one before sitting down.
laminated ones always say 时价 at the bottom
That's a classic bait-and-switch, the "sister restaurant" usually doesn't exist or has a totally different pricey menu once you're seated. Around Sanlitun this happens most on weekend nights, so just ignore touts and walk into The Grill House yourself.
usually the same guy works the corner by 8pm
Agree, and they work the east side of Chunxiu Lu too.
Best coffee near Roastery No. 7 in Beijing 2026
The trek's only worth it if you go before 9, otherwise the Gulou crowd makes it a zoo. I still prefer the little cart by Beixinqiao station for a flat white, honestly cheaper and just as solid. Beans at No. 7 are good but teh wait is real.
yeah that cart's solid but tbh i've switched to the tiny place on Yonghegong dajie, opens at 7 & no queue. No. 7's beans still better for pour over though, just not worth a weekend morning
Which tiny place on Yonghegong dajie? I know the one near the Confucius Temple corner but there's another closer to the Lama Temple exit. Want to try it before work, 7am opening is exactly what I need.
Good call on the pour over. Grab a bag of their Yunnan beans and brew at home, saves the queue entirely. Weekday mornings that little spot is empty by 8 anyway.
You're right about the before 9 thing. One detail though: No. 7 does a decent filter for 28 kuai, which the carts can't match. I'd still grab the cart flat white on weekdays and save No. 7 for when I actually want the beans.
28 for a filter is fair, but they only brew it after 10 on weekdays so it's not really a morning option. if u want beans without the queue grab a bag to go and brew at home, the retail shelf is right by the door
Cart guy's flat white is 18 kuai now, went up in spring
still 15 kuai last i checked tho
18 as of last week, sorry.
Second this, that queue never lies.
