Thanks for taking a look. Are you using the That's BJ city guide? I find it to be very reliable (with the somewhat perplexing exception of their relentless praise for Almeda!). They have turned me on to some places that I never would have found, although I wish they had more offerings from places outside of Sanlitun, Houhai, Shunyi, and Wudaokou.

For the people who like Xiao Wang Fu, which branch have you visited? Has anyone ever been the highly exclusive Houhai outlet? I have heard that they only allow one group per evening -- can't begin to imagine that costs.
