This chain attracts a smart and hip, nightlife crowd and is a decent, affordable spot to sample Yunnan's distinctive cuisine. The menu offers two dishes which each include three different kinds of mushroom, as well as a twist on one of China’s mots popular dishes – Kungpao Mushroom (宫保蘑菇). The gongbao mogu is less sweet and more spicy than most Kungpao Chicken you’ll encounter in Beijing. Worms are another Yunnan specialty, and Middle 8th has an appetizer made of four types of the wriggly soil-dwellers. The piping hot “crossing-the-bridge” noodles (过桥米线) include about 20 different ingredients, but light on the stomach. A range of wines and sweet rice wine is also available and there is also a separate and slightly down-market barbecue section diagonally opposite the Sanlitun store. Voted “Best Yunnan” in the Beijinger’s 2011 Reader Restaurant Awards.
