This is the first Beijing branch of the Taizhou brand famous for its fresh seafood shipped from the East China Sea daily. The dimly lit dining room dotted with bird cages and other Chinese motifs feels chic and sophisticated. The menu changes according to availability, but the star of the show remains the wild-caught yellow croaker – pre-order the flavourful and umami-loaded yellow croaker soup with matsutake mushrooms, as it takes hours to double boil.
