“the food was amazing. We ordered big plate chicken, lamb ribs, and stir fry lamb with naan. All 3 were very unique and delicious. The big plate chicken had noodles at the bottom, soaked up all the juice from the chicken, absolute bomb. The ribs were fatty, and juicy. My personal favorite was the stir fry lamb with naan. Lamb was juicy, seasoned with lots of cumin, and the naan was crispy.

Service was also good.

Highly recommend.“

“This is the BEST Sichuan food I've had since I was in Chengdu. Highly recommend if you're looking for a mala fix!

The Mapo Tofu with minced pork was perfectly balanced in flavor. The House Chili Crispy Fish Fillet was lightly crispy on the outside and deliciously juicy on the inside. And the Sauteed Chinese Baby Greens had plenty of garlic which is just the way I like it.

10/10 I will be coming here at least once a month and telling all my friends about it!“

“Ordered takeout, and pickup went smoothly. My bf and I ordered the golden chili rice noodle and the rattan pepper rice noodle - both were flavorful and delicious but we enjoyed the rattan pepper one a little more. They give a TON of noodles but are a bit light on the toppings. Overall, still a delicious and comforting meal.“

We ordered a sweet and sour pork and a salt and pepper squid, and we had so much leftovers. We also tried the hotteok on their dessert menu. Everything was delicious. The service was very attentive. Overall, a great experience and worth trying. Not sure if they have a parking lot, but we just parked on the street in front of the restaurant.“

“This location has changed several restaurants, but I haven't tried it since it changed to cooking Cooking .

The food was surprisingly good, and although the price was a bit high, it was well worth it. pork neck with bitter melon $22 , salt egg yolk with fish & pumpkin $24.50 , salty fish with pork clay pot $24.50 all good!
Especially the bitter melon, it is probably the best I have ever eaten, the cooking time is just right, the pork neck is very soft, but it is full of fragrance.

The service is very warm and friendly! The tables might be too close together and it's easy to hear other people's conversations.“

“I was misled by this restaurant’s name for a long time—I always thought it was a Chinese restaurant. But when I finally came here, I realized it’s actually a Korean one. My husband used to come here often before the pandemic.

Their black bean noodles are delicious, but that’s not really what I want to talk about. What truly stands out isn’t just the food, but the service. In today’s Bay Area, especially among Asian restaurants, it’s rare to encounter genuine service. You often end up tipping for people who simply drop off your food and disappear.

But at Beijing Restaurant, you’ll understand what real service feels like—and you’ll be happy to tip for it. Their servers focus on actually taking care of your needs during the meal, without being intrusive or using those overly scripted lines like, “How’s everything tasting so far?” that interrupt your dining experience. Their Mexican waiter is neat, attentive, and makes you feel genuinely comfortable. The female server, who has apparently been working here since before the pandemic, adds to that sense of familiarity and warmth.

Altogether, it gives the impression of a place with integrity and care—a restaurant that truly values its customers. I’m more than willing to pay for real service, and I’ll definitely be coming back again!“

The line gets long during lunch and dinner, so arrive early. The parking lot is small, but there's usually street parking nearby.

Service is quick and efficient, and they’ll box up any leftovers for you.“

“Their stuff is great for picky folks like me, their Sichuan chicken tastes authentic and has that nice fried-then-stirfried texture to it.. it has a metric ton of red peppers in the dish but I ate around them and it only registered as a “medium spicy” to me, who can only handle up to medium spicy. We also got kungpao chicken mild spicy and it was very good for a Chinese-American dish, with some small authentic upgrades to make it taste more complex.“
