Beijing Chinese Dining

Visited on a Saturday afternoon. We were both unimpressed across the board. Flavors were good , portions were average but they are priced at the higher end of average for Chinese. Wait staff had difficulty seating us and order taker seemed to trying to upsell us at every selection, looking to get us to order more items even though 2 of us ordered a large main dish and 2 orders of rice already. Once food arrived ( very hot , so that was a plus) no one ever returned and we had to flag down someone to get our check to cash out, some 15 minutes after we had obviously finished our meal. There were only 2 tables with customers so its not like they were slammed. Unlikely to return here as there are literally hundreds of other choices within a short radius of here.

The interior is very elegant and bright. The H&S soup here is interesting. Today I had the lunch Dry Fried Chicken with Spicy Capsicum that seems to be a new dish since it's not on the on-line menu. I also picked the fried rice that is excellent. Well seasoned and tasty. The spicy Capsicum mostly wasn't. The chicken was well seasoned and cooked nicely. Even the spring roll was tasty with a filling that had texture left. I have had a number of very good lunches here.
