Customer Reviews
As a vegetarian restaurant, this place is bound to have polarizing reviews. Personally, I really enjoyed it—the dishes were light and flavorful, and the tableware was beautifully curated with great taste. However, my friend wasn’t a fan, finding the food bland and lacking flavor. Food is always a matter of personal preference, but this spot is definitely worth a try to form your own opinion!
Do not trust the 5 star reviews. This restaurant is an absolute scam. For their seasonal menu, they serve you raw vegetables on top of dry ice and present it as a dish. They give you some sauces that you can easily get from any local supermarket. Next are some incredibly bland foods which are so mediocre for the price and high review this restaurant constantly gets. Now the service, the staff were constantly looking and whispering (this I don’t mind) but the one specifically assigned to our table looked extremely distracted and annoyed. The only positive aspect was the atmosphere, mostly because of the beautiful live harp music. Honestly this is the worst Beijing and Michelin starred restaurant I’ve dined in. Save the money, go somewhere else.
This was one of the best experiences I’ve so far collected in my life. From entering the nicely designed courtyard to the dryIce show present in the middle it was amazing. With their focus on a full vegetarian meal, they have convinced me thoroughly that they have earned their reputation. Every single dish in itself was made perfectly, and had unbelievable taste to it. Especially the starters stood out to me. I would recommend a visit to anyone, who wants to have a experience of a livetime. They have english speaking staff and were able to answer to any and all questions asked by my family members and myself.
My dinner here is one of the best meals I've ever had. Each dish is rich, flavorful, and delicious, awakening my palette. King's Joy has my favorite way of eating - small dishes of variety. Plus the service is simply impeccable. Our head waiter (Romas) did a wonderful job providing professional attention and great details. I am looking forward to coming back next time I'll be in Beijing.
