Description

This restaurant with its dining rooms surrounding a courtyard filled with flowers, rocks, ponds and fountains is said to have been constructed in the 17th century. The staff, particularly the women in their Qing Dynasty dress, look spectacular. The entertainment is a mixture of Chinese Opera and a quick change mask artist who is reputedly the best in China. The food is an interesting selection Imperial style cooking with dishes represented from many areas of China. The service is also excellent, however it is the ambiance, dramatic Qing feel and beautiful surroundings that make this a truly memorable experience. This is a great place to take your out of town guests if you want to impress. Unfortunately I did not take my camera, I will next time and make sure you take yours when you go. A dramatic, impressive and pleasing experience.

Hmmm, sounds interesting. Will go there for experience, even as a Chinese. Do we need to make reservation to go there? I supposed it is always busy.

Yes I believe you will need a reservation. Actually all other members of my group (relatives) are Chinese and they loved it also. Most of the patrons I am told are locals rather than tourists.

Hey Ric, just a note from your friendly neighborhood dining editor. Since you're the contributor, you can actually change the category to "Imperial" if you'd like. If you really wanted to go above and beyond the call of duty, you could add a price range and the hours they're open while you're at it :)

Thanks much for adding this one, Ric!
