Fast food fans, your hour has arrived. Burger King is open for business in Joy City Mall in Xidan. Reports are in on a free chicken wings promotion to all customers. Set meals cost upwards of RMB 30, and according to www.dianping.com, it’s a “bit cold inside, not as warm as KFC or McDonalds”. Seems like nitpicking to me. Does KFC or McDonalds have a flame-grilled double WHOPPER with cheese? No, they don’t.

Elsewhere, Let’s Seafood, sibling restaurant of Let’s Burger, is currently on soft opening in Sanlitun. Located two doors down from its beefy big brother in Nali Patio, the dining concept will be familiar to fans of Let’s Burger. Tick your menu choices from seafood salads, mussels, whole fish and specials like lobster or fish and chips, then go to the sauce counter for pesto, lemon wedges etc. Every main meal comes with seafood soup, home-baked bread, pan-fried potatoes and lemon rice. It’s an extraordinary amount of good food for your money – I hope they can keep it up. If you check it out, tell us what you think by reviewing it in our restaurant directory.
