NAN MEN HOTPOT

A very popular old shop. The people who go there every day are very nice. If time permits, it is recommended to take a number in advance. There are many recommended dishes. The mutton tastes not smelly at all, the portion of meat is large, and it is very satisfying to eat with sesame sauce. The service is very timely and comes as soon as you call. The environment is a bit noisy, but overall it exceeded expectations.

Copper pot mutton hotpot is very popular in Beijing in recent years. Some stores use cloisonné small pots, and some still use traditional carbon pots. The sesame sauce is well seasoned, the sesame cakes are delicious, and you often have to wait for a table at mealtime. Their top brain and yuanbao meat are good, and the price is acceptable. You can eat it occasionally.

Nanmen Shabu Shabu is the most authentic and popular old Beijing Shabu Shabu. This main store is located in Nanmen, hence the name Nanmen Shabu Shabu. The ingredients are fresh and the price is affordable, so the business has always been very hot. Now there are many branches, and I will visit them often!

When I went to the Temple of Heaven, I entered from the north gate and exited from the south gate. This restaurant is right next to the south gate. It is the main store. I went in around 16:30 and there was no waiting. When I came out after eating, I saw a lot of people at the door. This restaurant is still very authentic old Beijing shabu-shabu mutton, but it is no longer cooked with charcoal but gas. Their menu is recycled, so it is possible that the notes are not wiped clean. Their mutton is very tender and there is no mutton smell. There are specially prepared sauces. There are also small ingredients, a bite of mutton with pickled garlic, which is great. I still remember that frozen tofu, vermicelli, and Chinese cabbage were all given away. The Luoshen flower tea is homemade by them, and the taste is similar to sour plum soup. It tastes very good.

A time-honored copper pot hot pot restaurant in Beijing, Nanmen Hot Pot is more stable than Donglaishun. It also has its own pasture, lambs from Inner Mongolia, and pasture grass from Inner Mongolia. The three-point condiments are very thoughtful. The mutton is moderately fat, thin, and thick. It will not become overcooked even after long cooking and it does not smell of mutton. The sun-fried pork is very tender and cooked immediately after being put into the soup.

The first time I ate Nanmen Shabu-shabu was at the Shanghai Expo Yuan store. It was so bad that I said I would never eat it again, and it was really not cheap. I gave it another chance after coming to Beijing. Well, it tasted very good, and the lamb flavor was very good. This is worthy of its reputation and price. The lamb brain is very good, and the skewers are also delicious. I can recommend this store. Don't go to the one in Shanghai.

There are three branches: Ritan, Dahongmen and Houhai. Each store maintains the same core dishes, adopts differentiated management, and has its own characteristics: the Tiantan main store has the most varieties of dumplings; the Ritan store's sesame cakes are the crispiest and most fragrant; the Dahongmen store's free self-picked seasonal wild vegetables are the most heartwarming; the Siheyuan Houhai store has the most traditional Beijing elements, and its cleaning facilities are world-class.

Hongyuan Nanmen Shabu-shabu specializes in traditional Beijing halal shabu-shabu, which is well-known and well-reputed in Beijing. (Temple of Heaven store) is located on the east side of the south gate exit of the Temple of Heaven Park, with a large parking lot in front of the gate. My family and I came to check it out on Sunday afternoon. {Guide} Hongyuan Nanmen Shabu-shabu is open all day. If you arrive at the store in the afternoon, you don’t need to queue up. After the meal, you can go to the Temple of Heaven Park for hiking and fitness, which is a good choice for leisure life. {Meat} Compared with the spicy and spicy Sichuan hot pot, the traditional copper pot in old Beijing uses clear soup as the base, and the meat is eaten in its original flavor. Hongyuan’s mutton slices are naturally fat and lean, plump and smooth, and will not be rotten after long cooking. There is no smell of mutton, soft and tender, and it melts in the mouth. The quality is super good, and it is highly recommended. {Small condiments} The "three-point" small condiments are rich in content. The cilantro and chopped green onions are already spread on the bottom of the bowl. Diners only need to stir it. The sesame sauce is strong and delicious. To be honest, it is the best sesame sauce small condiments I have ever eaten. {Shaobing} There are two types: baked and fried. I prefer fried shaobing. It is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The more you chew, the more fragrant it is. {Affordable} The big pot base of 20 yuan, the clear soup pot, includes cabbage, vermicelli, frozen tofu, sugar garlic, peanuts, and kimchi. These dishes are not included in the pot base in other hot pot restaurants, and they can't be lowered by 20 yuan. [Evaluation] Hongyuan Nanmen Shabu-shabu meat is of excellent quality, delicious and inexpensive, and affordable. Most of his branches are opened next to the scenic area. If you pass by, it is worth visiting and tasting. The recommendation index is five stars.
