"The Director on the Tip of the Tongue" Chen Xiaoqing once sighed: "In the bustling CBD at the foot of the CCTV building, you can no longer find the boiling beef stew in the Ganjiakou chai-style beef noodle shop." "Chai's has almost become a legend in Beijing beef noodles. It is no longer a stewed white meat in a clear soup, but beef stewed in old brine with dumpling noodles and blanched shredded cabbage. Chai's sells noodles and meat separately, a beef noodle soup costs 12 yuan, and the thick round stick-shaped gluten is smooth and tough, as if there is a rebound between the teeth when chewing; The soup is thick and fragrant, red sauce color, with a slightly bitter medicinal aroma. The standard way to eat is to order another sauce beef or a small bowl of beef, sauce beef is not the traditional braised beef tendon meat, but choose different parts to boil together in the old soup, after placing an order, you can go to the window to take the meat by yourself, you can ask the master for fat and lean ratio, or tendons, the entrance does not need to chew, three or two times will be flattened in the mouth, melted in the tip of the tongue dentition, the sauce and meat are very profound, the price is 90 yuan a catty, the minimum 2 taels of starting point. The price of a small bowl of beef is 18 yuan, the fat and lean are even, more oily than the sauce beef, the same stew until crispy, the pure lean meat is not firewood, but the salty taste is more astringent, the broth can be empty into the throat, you may wish to buckle the small bowl on the noodles, the taste is rich. Diners who love spicy food should remember to order 1 yuan/portion of chili oil, which can make the beef noodles taste richer and richer in texture, and the rougher eating rule is to chew the chili pepper and eat it with the meat, and the taste experience is fresh and fragrant. Chai's Flavor Zhai has been in the head office of Ganjiakou for more than 20 years, and the service is decent, and there may be some omissions when busy; The store is spacious, and the flow of customers is large but most of them are noodle diners, so the turnover efficiency is very high, even if you wait for a seat, it will not be too long, and the more troublesome thing is that the parking space at the door is relatively tight, so it is recommended to come to the store for meals in other ways of travel.
