Grand Hyatt Oriental Hotel-Chang'an No.1-Business Reviews

Cantonese cuisine is undoubtedly the unshakable hegemon of high-end Chinese cuisine, and the vast majority of Chinese restaurants in high-end star-rated hotels in China are Cantonese restaurants. Among the top hotels, there are very few restaurants that use northern cuisine as the main restaurant, and Chang'an No. 1 Restaurant of Grand Hyatt Oriental Hotel is one of the representatives. Chang'an No. 1 is based on Beijing cuisine, integrating the characteristics of local cuisines, although it is an affiliated restaurant of the hotel, but the dishes are mostly simple and low-key home dishes, and the quality of its products can be in a high position, and it has a very good reputation in Beijing. Many international and domestic food and beverage review media have given this restaurant a high evaluation of Beijing-style home-cooked food. Chang'an No.1 has been awarded the Best Restaurant in Beijing and Shanghai in 2015 and 2016 by Tatler magazine, and the Best Chinese Restaurant in the Hotel category in 2015 and 2017 by TimeOut Beijing. Chang'an One has been on the list of the world's top 100 restaurants jointly selected by Elite Traveler and Laurent-Perrier in the United States since 2014; In 2015, La Liste was named one of the world's 1000 best restaurants, and Chang'an No. 1 was also on the list. Jin Qiang, the head chef of Chang'an No.1's Chinese Kitchen, is a native of Beijing and has more than 30 years of culinary experience, having been the head chef of Chang'an No.1 for nearly 10 years. Chef Jin Qiang and the hotel's Executive Chef Ouyang Qingcheng travel all over the country every year to explore local flavors and special ingredients, and integrate them into the menu of Chang'an No. 1. Chang'an No. 1's roast duck has always been praised, and among the many roast duck restaurants in Beijing, Chang'an No. 1 is outstanding. The old-fashioned fruit wood roast duck here is selected for about 40 days Beijing duck filling, roasted in accordance with the ancient method hanging oven, and the roast duck master is used as a dough sheet meat when serving, the skin is crispy and the meat is moist, fat but not greasy, showing the level. The quality of Chang'an No. 1 is relatively stable, and you can't go wrong with ordering classic dishes. Among the Beijing-style cold dishes, sesame spinach is one of the restaurant's signature dishes, spinach blanched and drizzled with yellow mustard and sesame paste, which tastes full of sesame fragrance, and yellow mustard neutralizes the creaminess of sesame paste, and adjusts the sweetness of spinach, with a soft and addictive taste. Old vinegar mixed with eggplant is also a Beijing-style cold dish, the eggplant meat is thick, the sauce is fragrant and flavorful, the old vinegar is sour but not rushed, and the seasoning is sweet and fragrant. Chang'an No. 1 roasted cod is the restaurant's specialty. This dish is the result of the chef's outing, drawing on the practice of roasting hairtail fish in Sichuan restaurants, battered and fried and then braised in thick sauce, although the appearance of the finished product is thick and colorful, thick branches and leaves, but the fish inside is tender and delicate, and the taste is good. Pan-fried duck liver is also worth recommending, the duck liver is delicate and rich, melts in the mouth, the black pepper brings out the fragrance of duck liver, and the plum sauce with it is slightly greasy, and it can also be sandwiched into the fire and eaten together. Stir-fried mutton with Beijing onion is also a signature dish, the mutton is fresh and tender, there is no fishy smell at all, and the overall taste is mild and fragrant. The jasmine ice cream and Wuliangye chocolate ice cream in dessert are quite amazing and worth trying. Chang'an No. 1 Restaurant is small and exquisite, dotted with Chinese elements, and the semi-open panoramic kitchen has heavy oil smoke. However, the distance between the tables is generally small, and the privacy of the meal is poor. The restaurant is always full, so please try to reserve your seat as far in advance. If you want to order Peking duck, it is also recommended to make a reservation in advance. As a five-star hotel Chinese restaurant, the shape and presentation of Chang'an No. 1 dishes are not high, although the restaurant service can be basically proper, but many details are still not in place, the timing and process of serving the dishes are also slightly rough, and the 15% service fee does not allow the restaurant to come up with a comfortable service experience. However, in general, Chang'an No. 1 rarely moves Beijing-style home-cooked food into a five-star hotel, and the production is basically maintained at a high level, which is familiar to northern friends, and is also suitable for southern friends to taste the flavor of Beijing and Lu, which is a very good choice for business banquets.
