Mi Xun Teahouse - Chengdu
Vegetarian Sichuan cuisine meant healthy and light dishes, including the best mapo tofu we had on this trip to Chengdu
Xin Rong Ji - Chengdu
Seafood-focused Chinese cuisine with some stellar sauces that unfortunately often outshone the rest of the dishes
Silver Pot - Chengdu
A fine-dining rendition of spicy Sichuan cuisine with some nice appetizers, but less compelling main courses
Chao Shang Chao - Beijing
Technically impressive execution of Chinese regional Chaoshan cuisine, but the flavors and textures were only a mixed success
Xin Rong Ji (Xinyuan South Road) - Beijing
Elegantly presented, flavorful Chinese cuisine served in luxurious modern surroundings. The best Chinese food I’ve ever had in China
King’s Joy - Beijing
The world’s first vegetarian three-star restaurant serves delicious Chinese food. Vegetable-driven and varied, the kitchen creates novel dishes rather than replacing meat in existing ones
Taian Table - Shanghai
European cuisine meets Asian ingredients and inspirations. The oft-changing menu made for an enjoyable meal, but did not have any truly stand-out dishes
