Opened by the grandson of a Qing emperor’s doctor, this very popular restaurant bases their recipes on the doctor’s Golden Soup Bible, a compendium of healthy dishes fit for an emperor. Crispy fried shrimp, a house special, are succulent and flavorful, and the "mashed potatoes" are a unique dessert. The quaint, teahouse-like setting makes this place perfect for catching up with close friends.
Fit for an Emperor
Choice Chinese review
Opened by the grandson of a Qing emperor’s doctor, Najia Xiaoguan bases their recipes on the doctor’s Golden Soup Bible (金汤经), a compendium of healthy dishes fit for an emperor. The “pot-braised delicacies” (¥38-288/person) are a must. They are made with succulent mushrooms, moist-centered pigeon eggs and other delights, stewed for over 18 hours to make the deliciously rich yellow soup. Other highlights include the sweet and tangy “crispy shrimp with unique flavor” (¥38) and the smooth and savory “self-made bean curd” (¥28). For dessert, don’t miss the mashed potatoes (¥22). Far from the gravy-smothered Thanksgiving staple, the dish was an Imperial attempt to recreate Italian gelato, flavored with buttermilk and red bean. It’s not mashed potatoes, and it’s not ice cream, but it’s definitely delicious and unique.
