Sun River Dumpling Restaurant
Need a break from chewing chillis? If so, then try this big, bustling place that specialises in the far less fiery cuisine of northern China. Dumplings (jiǎozi) are the house speciality, and there are seemingly endless varieties, including vegie options, on offer. The picture menu has many other dishes to choose from too.

Xīshèngyuán
Crowds pay and gather near the entrance to wait for the steaming fresh xǐaolóng bāo (小龙包; soup dumplings; Y6) to come out of the kitchen. If you don't want to jostle, grab a seat and order several other great dishes including assorted húntūn (馄饨; dumplings; Y6 to Y10).

Dūyīchù
Recently reopened, this celebrated lǎozihào (established restaurant) located on Qianmen Dajie – finished in grey brick and serenaded with traditional Chinese music – is famed for its shāomài dumplings, although service is rather slow. Try the lamb shāomài (Y38) or the shrimp and leek shāomài (Y36) and pay up front.
