In the early years, the streets of Beijing were full of state-run snack bars and breakfast bars. After the reform, especially after the 1990 s, most of them were closed, changed production or demolished, leaving only a few. In the past, most of the time-honored restaurants and state-owned snack bars in Beijing belonged to state-owned catering companies in the four districts of the city. Later, some of them were changed into joint-stock companies. Now the catering companies in all districts have changed their names, namely Xicheng District-Huatian, Dongcheng-Xinghua, Xuanwu-Xiangda and Chongwen-Xianda. Huatian's website is more detailed.

There are many kinds of snacks in Beijing. Most of the existing state-run snack bars are Muslim, and their business varieties include: noodle tea, bean juice, bean curd, bean noodle meatball soup, marinated fried tofu, chop suey soup, fish leakage, sugar ear, sugar fire, inby, twist, fried cake, cream fried cake, spiral noodles, jiaozi cake, bean stuffing fire, bean stuffing crisp, bee cake, bowl cake and fried cake. There are also some non-Muslim snack bars, which operate: stew, fried liver, enema, steamed bread, steamed dumplings, wonton and so on.

Existing famous state-run snack bars (Muslims):

Xicheng:

Huatian Huguosi Snack Bar: Opposite the People's Theater in Huguosi Street, a new branch has been opened on the west of Xikou Street in Huguosi Street (formerly Beilaishun), which is very close to Mei Lanfang's former residence. You can go east along Dingfu Street to the former site of Fu Jen Catholic University and Gongwangfu Garden.

Huatian Di 'anmen Snack Bar: Located in the northeast corner of Di 'anmen intersection. Surrounding attractions: Jingshan, Beihai Back Gate, Shichahai, Bell and Drum Tower.

Huatian Xi Tiananmen Muslim Restaurant: Located at Xishiku Street, Xi Tiananmen. Close to Xishiku Church, Beihai, Xisi and Xidan.

Huatian Snack Baita Temple Store: opposite Baita Temple, Fuchengmen Inner Street.

Huatian New Town Snack Bar: Xinjiekou South Road.

Xilaishun Restaurant: The entrance of Heping Gate West Jiao Min Lane was originally in Baita Temple. Serve some snacks early.

Youyishun Restaurant: South of Xikou Road, Huangsi Street. Serve some snacks early.

Xinrong Muslim snack bar: the northeast corner of the junction of New Culture Street and downtown area. I thought it was long gone, but I passed by recently and found it still there. When I was a child, I first ate braised tofu and meatball soup there.

Nanchang Street Muslim Restaurant: West of the south side of Xihuamen. There are also some snacks, such as fried belly, fried cake and fried bumps. Stir-fried bumps taste good. Like Enyuanju's, the pimples are all fried by hand (many shops add pots by mechanism and taste like leftovers). The disadvantage is that the side dishes are not rich enough. It is best to add diced cucumber and mung bean.

In addition, there is a Minlexuan Muslim Pot Sticker Hall in the east of Liubukou Concert Hall Road, which is the original Hongbinlou Pot Sticker Hall.

Dongcheng:

Long Fu Temple Fair Snack Bar and Bai Kui Time-honored Brand: Dongsi Long Fu Temple Street, diagonally opposite to Long Fu Building. Long Fu Temple snacks used to be famous, but with the decline of Dongsi Commercial Street and several demolition and construction, it is not as good as before. The two stores are connected together, and the storefront is very large.

Bai Kui Old Restaurant: the west side of the northwest corner of Beixinqiao intersection. Qianyangchun Huimin snack bar Bai Kui Laohao's roast mutton and doornail patties are very famous. Close to the Lama Temple, imperial academy, Confucius Temple (Capital Museum) and the south gate of Ditan.

Bai Kui Old Restaurant: northeast corner of Kuanjie intersection. This is the head office. Besides cooking, there are snacks, and the dining environment is good.

Long Fu Temple Snack Branch: Near Beixinqiao South 12 Street, the store is small but clean.

Long Fu Temple Snack Branch: On the east side of the Drum Tower, there is a small storefront. Nearby attractions: Shichahai, Bell and Drum Tower.

Long Fu Temple Snack Branch: West Andingmennei Street 104 Road, in front of Fang Jia Hutong Station. Nearby attractions: imperial academy and Confucius Temple.

In addition, Long Fu Temple snacks have a stall next to Wangfujing Jinghua Store, but there are few kinds of snacks, and they actually sell mutton skewers and old corn.

Xinghua Gourmet Fried Belly Shop: Located opposite the Red Mansion on the beach, there are Muslim snacks besides fried bellies, and the meat pies are delicious. The store is not big. Surrounding attractions: Forbidden City, Jingshan and Huangchenggen Ruins Park.

Muslim Ruizhenhou Restaurant: southwest corner of Dongsi intersection. Only snacks are brought, and there is a "Xingyuelou Fried Cake" counter.

Chongwen:

Jinfang Huimin Restaurant: East Road on the north side of Hongqiao Market. It is near the east gate of the Temple of Heaven. Jinfang's Lantern Festival is very famous, and there will be a long queue in front of the fifteenth day of the first month. The previous period was poorly managed. Recently, it has been improved, the hygiene is cleaner than before, and there are more varieties. The only constant is the meat pie. Although the big one was replaced by the small one, it was still terrible. Too many onions!

Jin Xin Bean Juice Shop: northeast of Ciqikou intersection. A few years ago, it was one of the few places in Beijing where you could drink bean juice. Now most snack bars have bean juice. (Note: I drank it when I was a child. People who drink it for the first time may not be used to the taste and smell, but after drinking it several times, I became addicted. )

Honghu Huimin Snack Bar: It used to be in Longtan Beili, but now it has moved to the northeast corner of beijing amusement park intersection due to demolition. The dining environment is too bad and there are not many varieties, but it is ok to eat early.

Fangqun Huimin Snack Bar: North of Xihuashi Street, the dining environment is not good.

Old Ciqikou Bean Juice Shop: Newly opened, east of Honghu Snack Bar. After the restructuring of Jin Xin Bean Juice Store, someone opened a new store.

Xuanwu:

Nanlaishun Restaurant: Located on the west side of Daguan Garden, it was moved from Caishikou, with snacks on the first floor, instant-boiled mutton on the second and third floors, and stir-fried dishes. The environmental sanitation is good and the price is not expensive, but the geographical location is relatively partial and the popularity is not strong.

Xinhua Snack Bar (non-Muslim): West of the intersection of Hufangqiao, which used to be famous for its bean juice. Dinner is only bean juice and pot stickers. Recently, Liulichang and Xinhua Street have to be widened. It seems that this store will inevitably be poisoned.

Dashilan Nanlaishun Restaurant: the east entrance of Dashilan Street, but now it mainly deals in northwest snacks, instant-boiled mutton and roast duck, but there are no Beijing snacks.

Nanlaishun Bakery: North of Caishikou and West Road, the frontispiece is very small, only for take-away. It's about to be demolished, and its whereabouts are unknown. (Note: Fried cakes are good. Buy it every time you pass by. I don't know where they are now, but I have to ask ...)

The hottest seller of fried cakes now is a Tianjin restaurant (Hong Jingtian) next to Hufangqiao Workers' Club.

(Note: A shop selling fried cakes next to the Yangxiezi store on Xisi Road West is also very popular, and you have to queue up every time you pass by. )

Enyuanju: Qianmen Coal Market Street, opposite Dali Hutong. Enyuanju's fried pimples are said to have obtained the true biography of Mukezhai. At present, there are six kinds of flavors, such as three fresh, mushu, diced chicken, beef, minced meat and mutton, which are absolutely first-class, but the business situation is worrying, and Meishi Street is also facing demolition.

Tongzhou:

Xiao Lou Hotel: Tongzhou South Street North Exit (behind hualian department store). Tongzhou Xiao Lou is a century-old Muslim shop, and its cooking catfish is called one of the "Three Treasures of Tongzhou". The other two treasures are sugar fire in Dashunzhai and fermented bean curd in Wantong sauce garden. There is a snack bar on the first floor.

In addition, there are some state-run non-Muslim snack bars:

Tianxingju: Located in the fresh fish mouth opposite Dashilan, the fried liver is the most authentic, and there are some other snacks, but the steamed stuffed bun is very ordinary. (note: when I was a child, I said it was fried liver. In fact, there are not many livers, mainly pig large intestine)

The only place: located in the fish mouth of Qianmen Street, dealing in steamed dumplings and cooking on the second floor. Note: once eaten, it is not delicious. Maybe the variety I ordered is too cheap. Should I choose crab meat? ) its traditional famous fried triangle has not been restored. There is a branch in Fangzhuang Restaurant Street, opposite Fangzhuang Gui You.

Ruibin Building: Dashilan Door Frame Hutong, featuring fire.

Qingfeng Steamed Bun Shop: It operates fried liver steamed buns next to Xi 'anmen Muslim Restaurant. It used to be next to Xidan Chang 'an Grand Theatre, which was very popular in the early 1980s. Beijing steamed buns are actually Tianjin steamed buns. There is a new branch opposite Daguanlou Cinema in Dashilan Street. The other branch is in the east of T-junction in Xinjiekou, next to Xinchuan noodle restaurant. (note: disgusting)

Xisi Steamed Bun Shop: Southwest corner of Xisi Road, which deals in fried liver with steamed buns. Now play the sign of two friends' residence.

Wonton Hou: Eight sides of Wangfujing Street. Note: the taste is ok, but it's worse than the wonton I ate in Chengdu. ) branch: 1, east of Gulou; 2. East of the north side of Hepingli intersection; 3. Next door to Dongsi Long Fu Temple snack bar.

Fengnian enema hall: East exit of Longfusi Street in Dongsi, specializing in fried enema.

Minghua steamed dumplings restaurant: the northwest corner of Dongsi intersection.

Meiyuan Dairy Store: The east side of the intersection of Taiji Factory faces north, the west side of Xisi T-junction and the west side of Qianmen Street are relatively old. There are mainly almond tofu, cheese (not cheese), milk rolls, cheese, milk cakes and so on. In addition, there is a branch at the northwest corner of Xibianmen overpass.

Other famous snacks: most of them are time-honored brands, which are reopened by their descendants or descendants after a long-term suspension.

Maji Yueshengzhai, Hubu Street: On the west side of Hutong Ruibin Building, the gate frame of Dashilan, there are a lot of chowder, with fresh materials and good pine meat, which is fried now. But the dining environment is very simple.

There are two doorframe hutongs in Langfang, east of Ruibin Building. (Note: It also deals in Beijing traditional instant-boiled mutton). There is a branch on the ground floor of Xibei Youmian Village in Liuliqiao.

Full belly: the west side of the east gate of Taoranting Park (near the overpass). The tripe was first discovered in the southwest corner of Dongsipailou and closed before the Cultural Revolution.

Shenglong Jin tripe shop: the west side of Jiandemen Bridge goes northbound, and it is removed from Dongzhimen. The former Dong 'an market in old Beijing has a stomachache, and it was defeated in the battle for trademark rights with doorframe hutong a few years ago.

Dongxingshun tripe Zhang: Qianhai Dongyan, east of the barbecue season. The frontispiece is very humble. Recently restored "goat cream sausage"

Tea soup Li: East of the east gate of Taoranting, not far from the full belly.

Li Ji Baishui Yangtou: North of the west side of zhushikou, under the overpass. There are many snacks besides white water sheep's head.

Sheep head horse: northwest of Liuliqiao overpass, basement of Xibei Youmian Village. When the oil noodle restaurant was opened, there were eight famous snacks, but now there are only sheep's head horse and tripe-fried chicken.

King of fried tripe: Lu, south of Di 'anmen Bridge, deals in fried tripe and doornail patties. It is said that it used to be the one in North Street, but I don't know why there is only the sign of "Fried Bell King" in the store, and there is only the word "Fried Belly Shop" outside the store.

Door nail Li: Chegongzhuang in the west and Santasi Road in the north. Dealing in doornail patties and tripe.

About niujie snacks:

After the demolition of niujie, several families moved to Nanheng West Street (Nanheng West Street will be demolished recently), and there are three famous ones on the west side of Beijing Health School. They are:

Hongji snack bar: Beef is very famous, and it also deals in all kinds of sticky goods, fried cakes, loose meat and so on. (Note: I once bought 1 kg beef here, and I ate it with 1 kg pancakes. )

Old tripe man: (unlike the tripe man in Taoranting, he is said to be a relative) Now we don't sell tripe, but only spiced beef and mutton biscuits, which are good and cheap at 2 yuan each. However, Nanheng West Street has to be demolished recently, and it is only a stopgap measure for the old man to move to Qingfangzhai Restaurant 50 meters east. (Note: The spiced beef and mutton with sesame seeds are delicious, and there is one in 2 yuan, which will only be available after 4 pm, and there is a queue every day).

Rice cakes and plums: all kinds of rice cakes and sticky goods.

Niujie Muslim Snack City: East of Health School, but there are no authentic snacks (Nianji Sauced Meat, No.9 Meat Pie and 14 Capricorn recommended by netizens are all good).

Zhibinlou Restaurant Snack Department: South exit of Jiaozi Hutong, with a variety of snacks and a good environment. Soymilk for breakfast is especially delicious, which is called "bittern taste". A bowl of soybean milk, two cakes of sugar and oil, and a standard Beijing breakfast.

There are also some small shops that are not well-known, but each has its own unique skills. For example, there is a small shop at the east exit of Nanheng West Street, and the tofu brain is delicious; There is always a queue to buy steamed buns in the shop opposite the rice cake Li.

In addition, the newly-opened Muslim supermarket in niujie has snacks on the first floor and only moved back to a "rice cake money".

About pot cooking:

The full name of Lu Wei is Lu Huo, also called Lu Wei Xiao Chang. Originated from Soviet-made meat and formed late. The most famous is Xiao Changchen. Xiao Changchen's old shop is at the east exit of South Hengdong Street, Hufang Road, which has been demolished. Every store is opened by its own family after separation, not a chain. Most of them are small shops, and several small Changchen restaurants opened by my daughter are large-scale. They also provide casserole stew, stew hot pot and all kinds of stir-fried dishes (mainly water), and the dining environment is also good. But it lacks the fun of going to the market around the stove.

Xiaochangchen: There are two doorframe hutongs in Langfang, next to Maji Yueshengzhai. (Note: Yes, it smells delicious from a distance. The material is mainly pig water, next to the Muslim restaurant, which is very peaceful and peaceful. )

Xiaochangchen: Nanheng East Street, not far west of the former old shop.

Xiao Changchen: Opposite the Hufangqiao Workers' Club, Lazhu Hutong.

Xiaochangchen Restaurant: Yongwai Majiapu, north of Innovation West Road.

Xiaochangchen Restaurant: Fangqun Garden Area 3 (Fangqun Road), next to Fangzhuang Police Station.

Xiaochangchen Restaurant: Outside Anding Gate, south of Waiguan Xie Jie Road.

In addition, in the north of T-junction of Taiping Street in Taoranting, there is a Chenji pot roast, which tastes good and is said to be related to Zhang zhen Jr.

Zhong Yi Restaurant: Dongsi intersection is east of North Road and has four handles. There is a "stew" sign in the shop. Zhangji stew in Guanghelou Theater in the old Beijing meat market is very famous, but I don't know if this one is another.

There are also several famous stew shops, but they are not old brands: Tiandachang: south of Andingmen overpass; Lin Kai stew: south of the road west of Hufangqiao intersection, engaged in stew for more than ten years; Fried liver coke: Zhao intersection of Xinei Street, facing demolition; There is also a small shop on the east side of the Drum Tower, which sells fried liver with brine and is a bit famous on the Internet.

I feel that Xiao Changchen tastes the best and the price is not expensive (generally, the bottom of a bowl in 5 yuan). Unfortunately, Xiao Changchen lacks white meat at the bottom of the pot. (Note: the news is untrue, there is white meat) Other stores have it instead.

PS:

There is a fried liver shop 50 meters south of 50, which tastes good.

In the southwest (north-south direction) of the intersection of Hufangqiao, there is a shop selling fried cakes, and many people queue up to buy them. There is a pot-stewed vegetable seller in the southwest (east-west direction) of the intersection. I heard that it is also very good.

There is a Liqun Roast Duck Restaurant at the front door. Good, but not easy to find. It's a roast duck restaurant opened by an old master in Quanjude.

Some precautions:

The above does not include all the snack bars in Beijing, but they are all familiar or well-known to me.

I have been there recently or witnessed that I am still alive (March 2003), but Beijing has developed rapidly in recent years. I am tearing down the city walls and destroying the four old buildings with ten times the energy during the Cultural Revolution, carrying forward the spirit of "demolition" with the times and declaring war on the old city. Patches of hutongs and old streets are gone. Many snack bars were closed or weakened after demolition, and some even moved several times. So the address on it may change. (note: helpless reality)

Although the state-owned time-honored snack bars in Beijing still need to be improved in operation and service, and their tastes are mixed, at least they are authentic in practice and cheap in price. Most snacks are complicated to make and the profit is not high, which is why many restaurants and private stalls don't make them. As for several so-called snack cities, because they only pay attention to making money and ignore social benefits, the snacks they operate are not authentic, with few varieties, high quality and low price, which is purely misleading foreign tourists and discrediting Beijing snacks. For example, in an old Beijing street in Dong 'an market, there are only a few kinds of snacks in Beijing. A fried cake costs 2 yuan, while state-run stores only sell it at 80 cents. Others are actually goods from street stalls such as fried noodles, fried bean jelly, fried rice and fried skewers. Wangfujing snack street sells the most fried tripe (because of the big profit), followed by mutton kebabs. Wangfujing snack city once gathered many old brands when it opened, but it soon closed.
