Yue Bin Restaurant is the first choice for home-cooked food in Dongsi Hutong, and of course many tourists try its name as "China's first individual restaurant". There are waiting chairs in front of the store, and the food is very popular.
In recent years, many restaurants have taken great pains to create a restaurant environment, and it is true to create a specific dining atmosphere, but the mediocre taste and high price can not always make people happy.
Guo Peiji, the owner of Yuebin Restaurant, is a chef, and his wife Liu Guixian once worked as a cook in Ye Jianying's house. It is not a place where the taste is amazing, but the taste of home, which is very durable, and has been coming back for more than 30 years. Garlic elbow is a signature dish, the table must be ordered, the elbow is stewed and soft, the meat is elastic, white and thin, the appetizing garlic sauce is poured on the meat, it is not easy to get tired, the portion is large, and it is appropriate for two or three people to eat. Gluten grilled cabbage is also a common home-cooked dish in Beijing, the appearance is really average, there is almost no oil on the plate, but the taste is adjusted with broth, the sweet cabbage and soft gluten are very delicious, almost empty on the table. The pot collapsed tofu box, stir-fried shrimp, vinegared shredded potatoes, etc. are all very light home-cooked dishes. If you like to be a little salty, you can order dishes such as coriander fried belly, pot roast duck, casserole vermicelli, five-wire bucket, sweet and sour pork ribs, braised eel segments, and dry fried meatballs. Among them, the pot roast duck has been praised by the chef of Quanjude.
In order to enrich the taste, many dishes have been added to the menu, including chicken, duck, beef, and seafood for meat alone, as well as cold salad, fried, and braised meat. There are also nearly 30 kinds of vegetables and cold dishes. It is recommended to choose a casserole series for soups, and other soups taste ordinary.
The dishes are generously portioned, but the plate is very casual, and the soup is often spilled. The store has expanded to more than a dozen tables, the tables, chairs, and floors are relatively clean, but the decoration is simple, the lights are not bright enough at night, and the comfort is average. There are many young people ordering takeout around.
A short walk from the alley, the flashing lights at the door at night are more conspicuous and not difficult to find.
