[2025 Beijing Restaurant] Travel Guide for Siji Minfu Roast Duck (Dongsi Shitiao) (Updated Oct)

No one can deny that Siji Minfu is the most popular roast duck restaurant in Beijing right now! I took a number at the Forbidden City store at 3pm, and there was a queue of more than 400 tables for small tables! Because the Forbidden City store offers a view of the Forbidden City's corner tower, we chose the Dongsishitiao store to avoid popular stores, and there were fewer people lining up. After waiting in line for an hour, I got to eat authentic oven-roasted duck. The duck was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and coated with condiments. Wow! ! ! The complimentary duck soup is also very delicious. If you order a whole duck, you can also process the duck bones into salt and pepper, which is also great. #Scenic restaurant

A trip to Beijing is a must for Peking duck! This time, we chose the incredibly popular Siji Minfu Roast Duck (Dongsishi Street Branch), a perennial favorite on Dianping.com. 📍A Little Story About the Queue When we got our number, it was A142. There were 19 tables ahead of us, and the place was packed. We recommend arriving early or queuing online. 🍽 Today's Dish 1️⃣ Signature Peking Duck • The chef slices the duck right in front of us, creating a golden, crispy skin that melts in your mouth with a subtle charcoal aroma. • Served with pancakes, sweet bean sauce, scallions, cucumber strips, and radish strips, it offers a satisfying blend of sweet and salty flavors. • You can also enjoy it in various ways, such as with sugar or garlic. The moment I dipped my first slice of duck skin in sugar, I was practically squinting with happiness. 2️⃣ Almond Tofu • Cool and smooth, with a subtle almond aroma, it's neither sweet nor greasy. A bowl after the Peking Duck is a perfect way to instantly wash away the greasiness. 3️⃣ Honey Crispy Shrimp • Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, the shrimp is fresh and firm, sweet but not greasy. The sesame seeds add a touch of fragrance, making you want to chew the shells off. 4️⃣ Mixed Bean Sprouts • A layer of crispy fried dried bean curd on top, with refreshing pea sprouts underneath, creating a refreshing and crispy flavor for the whole table. 💡Dining Review and Recommendation: • The roast duck is absolutely worthy of its reputation, with crispy skin and tender meat, and a fragrant but not greasy flavor. • The side dishes are beautifully presented, and each ingredient brings out the unique flavor of the roast duck. • The environment is comfortable and the service is attentive, but be patient and wait for a table during peak hours. 📌 Restaurant Information • Restaurant Name: Siji Minfu Roast Duck (Dongsishitiao Branch) • Hours: 11:00 AM - 9:30 PM • Address: No. 23, Dongsishitiao, Dongcheng District, Beijing • Recommendation: Get a number online in advance or avoid peak meal times • Must-Tries: Crispy and Tender Roast Duck, Almond Tofu, Honey-Glazed Crispy Shrimp, and Mixed Pea Sprouts • Average Cost: 150 RMB #BeijingFood #BeijingRoastDuck #Siji MinfuRoastDuck #Must-EatBeijing #BeijingTravel #Must-EatBeijingFood #DianpingRecommended #Must-EatRestaurants #MichelinRecommended #PekingPeelDuck #FoodieCheck-In #Must-EatTravel #TravelDiary #TravelFoodies #TravelCheck-In #FoodieTravel #TravelDaily

How can you not eat at Siji Minfu when you come to Beijing!! [Siji Minfu Roast Duck Restaurant]🦆🦆🦆 I have a habit of going to eat and love to see the local must-eat list. This shop was planted when I went to Beijing in 2018, but I went to Beijing three times and never queued up. This year I went to Beijing again and booked a big table in advance with the help of local friends. If there are many people, you can call several shops to make a reservation, and you can still eat. ☑️👭👫👬 Environment: The facade is very Beijing, like a rich private courtyard. Inside, there is the natural beauty of the flower window in the Suzhou garden, and the strong contrast formed by the lush and dark gray stone, naturally releasing vitality. Our table is on the second floor, and the window view is also very good. 🍃 Service: The service is pretty good, the dishes are served quickly, and the photos are taken. 📷 Dishes ordered: 1. Crispy and tender roast duck: Finally, I ate this famous roast duck🦆. The roast duck is crispy and the meat is tender and juicy. It is packed in the dough and added with the exclusive ingredients. It is fragrant and confused. But eating duck skin with sugar is really too oily🥶 2. Cleverly mixed bean sprouts: I ate it for the first time, with crispy Sanzi inside and sweet vegetables, a very magical taste, a very creative dish🍃 3. Honey crispy shrimp: This dish is a bit like Jiangzhe cuisine, the shrimp is very big, sweet and crispy, a dish suitable for all ages🦐 4. Mustard duck feet: The mustard flavor is very good, if you like mustard and don't mind the nose, you can order it, we really can't get used to it🥶 5. Beijing-flavored fried tripe: The sesame sauce is so fragrant, the tripe is tender and crispy. Must order, Beijing specialty dish🤤 6. Beijing crispy meat pot: Local friends said it is a traditional Beijing cuisine, sour and spicy, with a peppery taste, the soup is very strong, it is really good to drink, it is my favorite dish😋 7. Salt and pepper duck frame: crispy and delicious🤤 8. Homemade yogurt with honeycomb honey: yogurt is sour enough, honeycomb honey is sweet enough🍨 9. Durian caramel pudding: If you love durian, you will definitely like it. It is full of durian pulp. I can't help but pack another one🍮 10. Freshly squeezed raspberry juice: very refreshing juice, not particularly sweet🥂 11. Little Duck Su: Cute dim sum, we ordered two, with bean paste filling🥠 12. Kung Pao Chicken: The meat is very tender, the sweet and sour taste is just right, delicious🍲 13. Tomato beef brisket: The beef brisket is very large, the tomato🍅 is soft and not sour, it tastes good. Overall: It is highly recommended to come to this store in Beijing. It is a very characteristic store. Although it is a popular store, the service and dishes are not popular at all, and the dishes have a wide audience. No matter how you order, you will not make a mistake, but you really have to go early, the queue is really outrageous. 🥂🥂
