The best restaurants in town are well known at this point and tables are extremely hard to come by, with lines sometimes reaching a hundred winding down the block, or needing reservations weeks in advance. I was told reservations for the Olympic weeks are already full at most of the top restaurants. Last week, I was lucky enough to eat at #5 on this list, Xian Lao Man. You have to order dumplings in 10′s, and at roughly 50 cents per 10, we ordered 6 different types. A liter of Tsintao beer was 50 cents as well. Drunk and stuffed, it was one of the best meals of the trip. Hard to remember what exactly we ordered, but I do remember the Chinese Cabbage and Peanut dumplings, the beef and zucchini dumplings, and the Corriander Lamb dumplings as being especially delicious. Total meal, $4.50 ish. And the waitress refuses tips. If found with cash on her, her boss accuses her of stealing, and she’d be fired. Only in China, folks!
