Heard about this place from a friend that said Beijing really knows how to do spicy and flavor balancing. I thought it was funny how the first thing I noticed when I walked in was that you could smell the spice!
We had the General Tao’s Chicken lunch special, scallion pancakes, and a beef chow fun plate. The portion sizes are well worth the price and the flavors were all on point. We didn’t really find the General Tao’s to be spicy but I’m sure they have much spicier dishes that would knock me out lol. I’ve had troubles finding places in Utah with good beef chow fun, but this place definitely does it right!
Overall, I’d highly recommend giving this place a try. The dishes we had give me confidence that the rest of the menu is just as good, or better.

As my time in SLC is coming to an end, my goal is to eat as much as I can at all the local joints before I head home where we don’t have all these fun options. My sister and I were actually looking up dinner options last night while we were at dinner. We like to plan ahead. We wanted some chow fun, did some research and found Beijing.
This joint is about 10 minutes away from our Airbnb. We pulled up, walked in and was in awwww at how pretty this joint is. It was bright, colorful and beautifully decorated. It’s one of the prettiest Chinese restaurants I have seen in town.
It was slow so my sister and I got sat right away. We ordered our hot tea and dinner at the same time. I got the chow fun with chicken. I was hoping for fried tofu but it wasn’t an option. My sister got the chow fun special which came with chicken, beef and shrimp.
We were sipping on our tea for a bit and our food was already done. Mannnnn did our chow fun look amazing! You can smell the char from the wok. The noodles looked chunky. There was a lot of chicken, sprouts and onion through out the dish. It was a beautiful plate of chow fun.
The noodles were chewy and soft. The chicken was velveted so it was tender and soft. The sprouts and onion added a nice crunchy element to the dish. It was savory. It was a hearty plate of noodles and honestly my sister and I probably could have shared a plate. I ate about a third of it and still have a a whole to go box container for tomorrow. I will be finishing that box even if it takes a couple days to complete. It’s too good to waste.
The staff was really nice here. The venue is clean, bright and modern. The chow fun they pushed out today was stellar. It was one of the best meals I have had in SLC. I’m happy my sister and I found this joint. I’m supposed to come back in April. This will be a joint I’ll have to hit up when I do. I’ll have to get another plate of chow fun in in my short visit in April.

I was very pleasantly surprised by how good the dishes are. Everything was flavorful and well made. Just note that the food is a bit spicy—more like real Sichuan spice. Highly recommend if you enjoy heat!

This Chinese restaurant is truly a hidden gem! The food is cooked to order, arriving hot, fresh, and absolutely spectacular. The General Tso’s Chicken was perfectly balanced with just the right amount of flavor and heat, the Lemon-Crusted Shrimp was crisp and delightful, and the Mongolian Beef was tender, savory, and to die for. Everything tasted fresh and carefully prepared. The atmosphere was calm—not overly busy—making it a wonderful dining experience from start to finish. Without a doubt, this is one of the best Chinese restaurants I’ve ever been to. Highly recommended for anyone seeking authentic, delicious, and memorable flavors. Highly recommended

A chef recommended this place and it did not disappoint! I got a smorgasbord all for myself. The fried rice was perfectly cooked and a large portion I can eat all week. The sesame chicken was so crispy with an addicting flavor. The smashed cucumbers were so good, getting me to eat more veggies. The chicken and green beans were very good but I was very full and only had a few bites. Come check out this special spot for some delicious Chinese food.

This is a really upscale smaller authentic Chinese restaurant. We enjoyed all the dishes but were a little disappointed we had to pay extra for rice, and that the $18 beef dish was mostly onions. Besides that, happy with service who continually refilled our water and everything was fast. The inside feels very modern Chinese and I enjoyed the cleanliness of the restrooms and restaurant. I recommend the fried buns with pork, but I wish they served it with something besides raw onions, perhaps some freshly spiraled cucumbers? Or maybe make it an option to have grilled onions with it. The chow fun was a very generous and a delicious size with plenty of meat, which the Mongolian beef wasn’t, it should have been called Mongolian onions with a sprinkle of beef pieces. The mapotofu is made with a numbing spice which we weren’t used to, it wasn’t overwhelming but I’d stay away if you don’t like numbing spices. The restaurant makes everyone feel very Chinese when the existing place settings don’t have forks. I’d suggest having bowls and spoons and forks for everyone, especially if they’re eating family style. The just plates was too American for me but the chopsticks was a redeeming factor. I’m leaving four stars because there wasn’t enough meat and we had to pay for rice.

We tried the Green Bean Stir Fried Chicken and the General Tao’s chicken. Both had great flavor and the General Tao’s was the perfect ratio of crispy on the outside and soft on the inside although we may ask them to make it slightly spicier on our next visit. The restaurant and rest rooms were very clean and service was friendly. We were surprised that the menu did not include any combination meals and that they charge extra for rice. The only minor complaint was that they didn’t return my credit card when they brought back our bill.

Clean and cozy environment with friendly service. We ordered the Spicy Chicken, Braised Pork with Preserved Vegetables, and Sliced Beef & Ox Tongue in Chili Sauce — all of them were fantastic! The spicy chicken was crispy and flavorful, the braised pork was tender and rich without being greasy, and the beef and tongue dish was perfectly seasoned with that authentic Sichuan kick. Highly recommended for anyone craving real Sichuan flavors!

The food here was pretty good. It’s not the best Chinese I’ve ever had but I will for sure be going back. I really enjoyed the pot stickers and the spring rolls. The fried rice was different from most others I’ve had but I really did enjoy it. I suggest you try all three of those dishes.
