For those hidden treasures, those that forge their own path hidden in the hutongs! To be featured it must be hidden away and hard to find. If I missed one, tweet the venue URL to @saltedlolly
Japanese Restaurant · Dōng zhí mén · 9 tips and reviews
Olly Stedall: While technically not in a Hutong, this family run Japanese is hard to find, and well worth the hunt. Offering a buzzing atmsphere you will fill you've discovered a well kept secret.
Zhejiang Restaurant · Běixīn qiáo · 20 tips and reviews
Daniel Shi: If you're coming here or breakfast/brunch on the weekend, make sure to make a reservation ahead of time. It can get crowded, especially as the weather gets warmer.
Szechuan Restaurant · Āndìng mén · 22 tips and reviews
Olly Stedall: This tiny restaurant is always packed and for food reason - expect to wait if you arrive during the evening rush. The twice-cooked pork (回鍋肉) and bitter melon stir fried with pork are both delicious.
