Baoyuan Jiaozi Wu 宝源饺子屋
Ever wished dumplings had exteriors to match their mysteriously exciting fillings? Then head to Baoyuan for a healthful rainbow of dumplings, their dough dyed with vegetable and fruit such as spinach, carrot, blueberry and grape. The dumplings are wrapped in a yuanbao (silver ingot) shape, and are larger and fuller than crescent-shaped dumplings. An order of six dumplings is generally under RMB 10 – and scrumptious. Particularly creative vegetarian options pack in smoked beancurd, celery, mushrooms, eggs, chives, cabbage, carrots and cellophane noodles. Tables are often full but turnover is high, so you won't have to wait too long. Traditionally dressed waitstaff are a bit overly attentive, but accommodating.

Great dumplings, creative signs
I could go to this dumpling restaurant 1000 more times and still think it’s the best in the city. I’ve already been so many times I have lost count. The mark of a good restaurant is consistency and they have that nailed. The jiaozi I’ve ordered are fresh, flavorful and always served with a smile. Very inexpensive and clean. If you have never tried the eggplant skin jiaozi (spicy) order them on your next visit. They are excellent!

Best Dumpling Place
When I first arrived in China I was invited to a colleague's house to make jiaozi and ate so many that I couldn't face another one for around 8 years. That was until I stumbled into Baoyuan and now I've been going there 2-3 times a month. Service is brisk but helpful and the atmosphere is usually good as it is generally packed. Try to get there before 1215 for lunch to avoid waiting for a table. The dumplings themselves come in more varieties than you can shake a stick at. My favourite is the alliterative preserved pork, pepper and peanut which adds a bit of texture. They also do other dishes which have been above average given the relatively low cost. You can easily stuff four people and have a few beers for well under RMB150. I'd also recommend it for taking visitors from abroad as it has a "real China" feel but with the advantages of English menus and being pretty clean.
Good for kids too as you can ask them to do each variety in different coloured skins.

Good selection of dumplings, standard Beijing type of food.
This place is a safe and reliable choice for out-of-town guests who want to try Beijing type of food. Besides dumplings one can order common Northern style string beans, shredded/fried potatoes, eggplant, and gong bao chicken. While it may not be the cheapest in town (it's located in an area where a lot of expats live), the selection is excellent and the menus have big photos. If anyone is a vegetarian in the group they have about 5 different combinations, all listed in English on the menu. Sometimes, if you ask nicely in Chinese, they can even modify meat dumplings into vegetarian. The last meal I had there 3 of us ate many kinds of dumplings, 3 regular dishes off the menu, and 3 beers; I believe the total was ~120 kuai.

Tasty and Healthiest food you can find around the town
I'm a regular to this restaurant, not only the location is near where I stay. But it is the healthiest food you can find around the town.
Whenever I go to a restaurant, I always request for "no MSG, 50% oil, 50% salt" Okay.. people think I'm anal or crazy. But I'm a health nut, and I do things EXTREME!
anyway, this restaurant can do it, and the food still taste really good. But I'm not too picky when it comes to taste.. lol

Every Chinese restaurant should be like this
I think every restaurant should be like them. They have friendly staffs, quick service, good decoration that will make you think you're in a Nongjiale rather than one of the most luxurious area of Beijing (in a good way of course).
Food comes in reasonable price. The foods other than jiaozi is good too. We tried the dry-fried fish last time and loved it. Also the spicy vermicelli (sorry, I forgot the official Chinese name). This is the place I would go if someone visits me.
One thing I can complain about is their menu. They have too many varieties of dumpling fillings. I usually just let randomly pick 3-4 items.
But however, highly recommended! :)

A unique take on jiaozi
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.

The king of the jiaozi joints
Huuuuuuuge offer of jiaozi and all of those I tried were equally delicious. Plus, it was quite easy on the wallet, so don't hesitate to order lots of kinds, you'll in any way finish them!

Best Dumplings - Period
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!

good vegetarian dumplings
Although I'm not a vegetarian, a vegetarian friend of mine dragged me to this place since he said it had so many good dumpling options. I'm not usually a fan of vegetarian food, but these dumplings were fantastic. They have all kinds of fillings (the standard cabbage, mushroom, etc) as well as some mysterious ones that I couldn't identify. They also have some sichuanese food, but I thought the dumplings were a cut above the rest of the food and I'd stick to those (especially since they're so cheap). One thing that freaked me out was the colors. It's just weird to see purple dumplings even if they're supposedly naturally dyed. I don't have any reason to doubt that they are natural, it'd just a weird experience. Also, if you for some reason don't like this dumpling place the Lufthansa center has a lot of other good options, so I'd recommend a trip no matter what.

Jiaozi, traditional Chinese food, novel cookery
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.

My review
There are lovely scallion pancakes to start, only greasy insofar as this is a desirable trait in a scallion pancake. They are a pleasant accomplice to meaty spareribs that a child might gnaw for a quarter-hour.

A nice place to visit
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.

Something for everyone
Since I stopped eating meat a number of years ago, I've given dumplings a bit of a miss but this place has more than enough varieties to suit vegetarians or fish-only eaters - and they're good - you can barrel through a base number of 12 of these goodies in a record amount of time. The only caveat - count them! The last two occasions I ate there, I was two dumplings down each time - not a huge deal but whether it's carelessness or regular practice, no one likes to not be given their dumpling fill!

One of my favourite place for dumplings
The colourful dumplings ,yes they are quite pleasing to the eyes.
But the soft dumplings melting in your mouth are good for taste and not heavy for the stomach.
Yes its a bit pricey,but its clean and nice.
Its still okay for me as spending about 50 rmb for a eating out is still reasonable.
