Beijing's traditional courtyard houses, which are fast facing extinction as entire neighborhoods are demolished to make way for new high-rises, provide the theme here. This is arguably Beijing's best Cantonese restaurant, serving southern favorites such as braised shark fin with crab meat, seared abalone with seafood, and steamed scallop and bean curd in black-bean sauce. The dim sum is delicately refined, and the deep-fried taro spring rolls and steamed pork buns are not to be missed. The walls are constructed from original hutong bricks taken from centuries-old courtyard houses that have been destroyed.
