Review Beijing Gourmet - Box Hill

Authentic Beijing Chinese style cuisine!!! Strongly suggest anyone who loves real taste of China to go there and have a try. Even though the service is normal, you won't regret!!!

This is truly the place to go for authentic Beijing cuisine. It's hidden not on the main eating strip and often overlooked but there is no other like this gem of quality northern chinese flavours

Cheap price with delicious cuisine.

I went here for dinner tonight because I wanted to try food from Beijing. When I had a look at the menu I saw a noodle dish under Beijing specialties and I asked what meat it was and the lady working here said it was a soy paste so I decided to order something else.<br/><br/>I ordered the spicy shredded pork with noodles and the vegetables with homemade sauce. The vegetables with home made sauce was like a delicious side salad with mostly Chinese cabbage and what looked liked sweet potato noodles. I really enjoyed this and the taste of the dressing which was a balance of sweetness and vinegar with some chilli, there may have been some sesame oil in it too but I don't remember. The noodles came out next and while they tasted good at first it definitely wasn't spicy at all and after a while they started getting a bit bland. The texture of the noodles was good though. <br/><br/>The people working here were very nice however the lady did give me a fork while I was eating without me asking for one. I'm sure she was being accomodating but I do have a complex about people giving me a fork while I'm eating at Asian restaurants, it was a bit awkward. The noodles were hard to eat with chopsticks so I did use the fork a bit hahahaha. I will come back here and do some research about Beijing food before so I know what to order. I forgot to say that is place is cash only like a lot of places in Box Hill they need to get with the times.

This place is very reasonable priced. It is the only place serving a few classic street food of Beijing. Good authentic flavour👍Try to pack their home made buns for next days brekky.

Dumplings were not great, seemed small. Taste-wise was leaning on the lower end too. Pork fennel dumplings was not to our taste. Had to wait for ages before they would come take our order.

Ordered the 'pancake' with bread, pork lungs, heart, liver, maw (stomach) soup, is something I will come back for. First time trying and is already on my all time favourite food list. The saliva chicken they directly translated it from, is a Beijing chilli style marinated chicken dish, which I think is not so spicy and delicious!!! If is too spicy it might kill your taste buds. But don't bother trying their lamb skewers is the worst I had tried. Go for XinJiang cuisine restaurants if youbwans lamb skewers.Too dry IMO. But will go back to try other Beijing cuisine dishes.<br/><br/>Edited: I went back 2nd time around and found an even delicious dish! The pancake(noodles style) dish! It's called stir- fried pancake!

Went there a couple of times with my wife and sister-in-law over the last few weeks. Nice place, family atmosphere, tasty dishes, moderate prices, never crowded. Friendly and prompt service - the owner is a very nice guy!

Tasty lunch. Had a nice lunch here last week. Had the Tou Dau Si (shredded potato dish - unfortunately only written in Chinese)- do ask the waiter/waitress for it. It is lightly cooked shredded potato with some shreds of carrot and capsicum, with a salted and slightly sour dressing. Really nice. Also had the tofu salad, with a salted "dressing"/seasoning, with spring onion and sesame oil.<br/><br/>On another note, the person I ate with was from Beijing, and I asked them is this normal for dishes from your home town. Answer was yes, so therefore I guess it's pretty authentic too.

The place is known for it's snack-like dishes, a similar approach to what you get at yum cha but there are no trolleys. The menu was quite extensive and we ordered a heap of dishes ranging from dumplings to kebabs. Some of the top dishes: Noodle salad - thin flat noodles with preserved carrots etc, the lot was marinated in a slightly spicy, slightly sour dressing...mmm... Dumplings - could be steamed or fried, and came in three or four different varieties such as lamb, seafood etc. Asian-ised sauerkraut soup - served with chicken and vermicelli in a little clay pot Xinjiang kebabs - these were awesome, made a mistake in asking for the spicy ones but still, so very very nice.
