I'm a little surprised this place has such high reviews. The jiaozi can come in different color skins so that's a nice unique touch. However, I'm a little disappointed with the 馅儿(fillings). I can't really taste the difference or all the ingredients, perhaps the ingredients are too fine and too hard to discern which is which. Some of the jiaozi fillings are unique and quite good. I also like a few of their seafood dishes. Prices are ok but a little high for jiaozi and ordinary Chinese food. It can also get crowded so you have to wait for a table/service.
A good place to eat if you're in the neighborhood. I recommend everyone who likes jiaozi give them a try. I personally won't go out of my way to eat here though.

I am not a big fan of dumplings, but Baoyuan Jiaozi Wu makes me a fan, but only of their dumplings. The different fillings seem endless, but each and every one of them work. It is definitely worth a try even if you don't like dumplings. Recommendation would be the purple colored dumplings, which has a crunchy cabbage filling - delicious!

Jiaozi,a traditional food in China,liked by most of Chinese, has some special ways to cook and eat in Baoyuan Jiaozi Wu. I believe that you will taste of different flavour.

I found this place totally by accident and immediately like it.

It looks no different from any other Chinese restaurants. At least it does not have any fancy exterior decoration. But when you go in, you will be impressed by its indoor decor, sporting a red lantern here and a crane-shaped incense burner there. Besides jiaozi, which are ample in size and variety, they also have good Sichuan dishes.

I introduced several friends to this place. Reason? The first time I went there, I ordered a vegetable dish. After a while, a waiter told me that she's sorry that she can't serve me that dish because the vegetable is not fresh enough. It's the first time that I heard such a thing. It impressed me.

jesus, travellor, you are a cheap bastard... everywhere you go, you think is too expensive.. maybe you should get a job..
this place is the best all around.. my wife and i eat there at least once every week cause we can order 5 to 6 items and still remain under 80rmb... this place knows how to please it's customers in everyway.. food, drinks, services, etc.. thanks you baoyuan jiaozi wu.. :)

Just ate there today and it's been a few months since the last visit. Prices have gone up AGAIN, portions are smaller, dumplings are now heavy on veg/light on meat and the decoration is becoming more tackyfancy.

Colored dumplings are indeed a novelty, and this place was my local dumpling house for years, but the whole operation now smacks of laowai=$$$ and is geared towards producing a lower quality dumpling for a higher price. Tastier, more authentic, and more reasonably priced dumplings can be found in most other neighborhoods of Beijing.

I can't believe I never added my review of this place until now, since it's still my favorite place for dumplings. Once you get beyond the novelty of dumplings that come in green, red and purple skins (flavoured with different vegetables) you find that they also have loads of fillings that you'll never have tried or even thought of before. My favorite is the one with peanuts and bacon (la rou).

The dumplings are great, but there's an affiliated Sichuan restaurant next door - you can sit in either and order from both menus. The Sichuan restaurant is more "decorated," the dumplings place is more tables, chairs and ready-to-go simple. Order some dumplings then something from the Sichuan menu - I have no shame in saying the gong bao ji ding here was among the best I've had in Beijing.

Very good value too - you can eat very well for less than RMB 40 per head easily, which isn't bad going at all these days.

The mouth feel of these dumplings are spot on. The purple dumplings with onion/crispy rice/pork are among the highlights. I ordered many different kinds and was not let down by a single one. Priced around the same as the many low-end dumpling joints around the city.

Great eats at a great price!

I love love love this place. The dumplings were so cute you wouldn't want to eat them right away. My friends and I took numerous pictures of the dishes before we finally decided to dig in. And of course, after tasting them, we ordered two more rounds of the mushroom/chicken and egg/chives dumplings. The service was attentive and efficient. Very friendly waitresses I must say. The bill came up to just over RMB 150 for the 5 of us and I thought that was excellent value for money.
