Tianchu Miaoxiang Tsinghua - Beijing

I went to the Tsinghua branch of the restaurant after trying the other one in Chaowai. This one is only 200 meters away from Chengfu Lu in the heart of Wudaokou, much easier to find than the other branch, and just as excellent! We ordered stir-fried winged beans 清炒四角豆 , cauliflower on a hot plate 铁板松花菜 , braised eggplant chunks served on a paper dish 纸锅茄丁 , and Kung Pao monkey-head mushrooms 宫保脆珍 . Too bad there weren 't any more shaomai 烧麦! The chrysanthemum tea 玉菊活颜茶 was also excellent. A lot of food, for which we paid around 90 RMB 14 USD each. The place was crowded but cozy the setting is actually very similar to the Chaowai branch , the staff friendly and efficient. Tianchu Miaoxiang and Suhu are definitely the best options in this area, and possibly in the whole of Beijing. Greatly recommended.

This place was wonderful. I ate here several times while visiting Tsinghua University, and I really loved the food. Everything I had was uniformly well prepared, well balanced, and delicious. The staff were helpful and friendly, even though I spoke no Chinese. The menu had sufficient English to make it clear what I was ordering. (Like almost all Beijing restaurants, it had pictures. My only complaint is that it is hard to find. Here are directions. From the south gate of Tsinghua University walk south until you reach the main road (Chengfu Road . Turn left and then turn left on the next street. Follow this street back into the Tsinghua science park. The road will take a sharp left turn, before it does the restaurant is on the main floor of the building on your left. It is *not* the restaurant you see from the street but rather it is inside the larger building. The restaurant is not on Google maps, but is inside of a building that Google maps calls the Innovation Mansion. Updated from previous review on Tuesday September 30, 2014

Really nice dishes and teas. i loved their chicken with peanuts and chilly. unfortunately they never have the wrapped tofu. but the chicken stick have been a good replacement. i love mock meet :

Very good choice of food, I have been there now a dozen times or so overall in the last 3 years or so. Their mock chicken dish with dry red peppers is excellent and I order that every time I go, however last go round they did not have it and looks like the chefs have moved to another branch. The juices are very good. It can get crowded during lunch hour. Overall very pleased with the restaurant.

This is a good place to go if you happen to be in the vicinity of Beijing or Tsinghua Universities or the Summer Palace, but tricky to find the first time around. If you don 't read Chinese, the Chuang Ye building is a highrise named Innovation Plaza. The restaurant isn 't actually in this building, but everyone we asked once in the vicinity knew where it was. Easiest access is from a parking lot around the corner that has a sign for Dough Works, and a red sign on a wide pillar for this restaurant in the far right hand corner of this lot. They have a wide assortment of dishes at 10-30 kuai each, with color photographs and english descriptions on the menu. They also have fresh juices and brown rice on offer. We went on a Friday night and had a short wait.
