first time eating yunnan food! if you’ve never had yunnan style crispy fried green beans and red beans, this is a sign for you to! it was so delicious and addictive, and even though it was fried it wasn’t too oily. i would also highly recommend the sour and spicy fish. the portion is huge, fish is fresh and tender, and the broth was great - perfect balance between sour & spicy. the rose cake was great as a dessert but at that point i was extremely full hahah
This hidden gen is located just a short walk from the north gate of the Forbidden City, and is well worth it! The menu was easy to navigate, the service was surprisingly attentive, and the value is phenomenal. Every dish our group ordered, from toasted goat cheese to perfectly cooked whole fish, was flavorful and fresh. The ambiance is that of a cozy cafe with exposed brick boasting handwritten messages from a global range of diners. This was one of the best meals we had during our recent travel through China, and highly recommend to anyone in search of an authentic local meal.
Reliable, good quality Yunnan dishes at a reasonable price. Been a regular for years. Atmosphere is good, great place to take out-of-towners.
We ate great food several times while in Beijing. But Little Yunnan made us go twice, and I dont often eat at the same place while travelling since I want to try out a lil bit of everything. The rice wine and the haricots verts and fried chicken… delicious!
