Lady Chai 老北京柴氏

Originating in the west of Beijing around Ganjiakou, Lady Chai has been running their small beef noodle business since 1988, etching a firm place in many a local’s memory since childhood. The menu is decidedly simple and includes: soup noodles (RMB 12, without meat), beef noodles (RMB 26), spicy beef noodles (RMB 28), majiang liangmian (cold noodles with sesame sauce, RMB 16), beef bowls (RMB 20), grilled lamb chuan'r (RMB 8), and portions of signature beef (RMB 90/500g), as well as a bunch of cold dishes (RMB 13-36).
