2009 Nov 26 Crowd Pleasing: Orient Kitchen at the Village
New to the Village at Sanlitun, this large, split-level restaurant delivers crowd-pleasing Chinese and South-Asian food in a classy environment. The contemporary interior fuses traditional elements like pillars hand-painted in attractive Chinese style with sleek, jet-black tables and chairs.
The open kitchen adjacent to the entrance turns out tasty plates at reasonable prices, from a Hainan chicken rice set (RMB 45) to Thai style shrimp salad (RMB 22), lemongrass chicken wings (RMB 25), curry noodle soups, laksa and more. A refreshing red bean ice with herbal jelly (RMB 22) is a fine way to finish your meal.
Like its neighbor Peppes, The Orient Kitchen is a family friendly restaurant, with a Juniors Club that hosts regular events for little ones. A sunny terrace, shared with Va Va Voom on the second floor, will be most welcome come spring.
Daily 11am-11pm. S4-31, The Village at Sanlitun, Chaoyang District. (6417 4070) 朝阳区三里屯北路19号三里屯Village南区4号楼3-4层

Socked a little ways up an anonymous hutong in the midst of Jinbao Jie, this Yunnan private kitchen is an oasis of edibility in a desert of high-rises. Wuchanju offers RMB 128, RMB 200 and RMB 500 set menus, and all diners in a given party must purchase the same option.

Fit For a King: Feast Offers a New All-You-Can-Eat Option
The first thing that strikes you about Feast is that it’s a fine-looking restaurant.
