What travelers say:
Coming out of Houhai, I followed the small road straight to the old brand. The navigation was relatively easy to find. It was on the roadside, and the door was eye-catching and had a story.
After ordering the dishes, I served them myself.
There were not many people, but everyone wanted to try one, even the bean juice that I had never dared to order. The fried liver felt the same as the starch soup here, but more internal organs were used, and the soup was thick and hung in the throat. When eating, you don’t use chopsticks or spoons, but hold the bottom of the bowl with your hands and raise it to your mouth to slurp it. The dishes were all good and solid, but I couldn’t handle the bean juice, so I didn’t dare to take two bites. The fried dough rings were all okay. The fried noodles with soybean sauce were relatively light and refreshing, the noodles were smooth and smooth, and the cucumber was mild overall.
The environment of the old Beijing restaurants felt similar, and they were all more practical and not fancy. Watching the uncles and aunties around us slowly drinking the fried liver, we also experienced it firsthand, just like the uncles and aunties in the old streets of Macau ordering a cup of milk tea and a pineapple bun. Every place has its own local characteristics.

The Bell and Drum Tower is open. Today I specially came to the tower to enjoy the view. After coming down, it was time for dinner, so I just ate at Yaoji. The location can be said to be under the wall of the Drum Tower, which is a blessed place blessed by the Feng Shui of the imperial city. The store’s slogan is-"If you want to eat fried liver, turn the corner of the Drum Tower." Yaoji’s signboard is very famous. With so much attention, controversy naturally arises. Some say it’s good and some say it’s not good. I think it’s actually okay. The main reason for the big fluctuations in reputation is the unstable level. For example, I ate four pork and green onion buns today. Three were in one tray and one was in another tray. As a result, the taste was not quite the same. The first three were good, and the last one was slightly worse. The fried liver is the same. I have eaten it several times. Sometimes it is thick and sometimes it is thin. Whether it tastes good or not depends on luck. But today’s bowl of fried liver is good, with enough ingredients, the right thinness and consistency, and the taste is authentic. The price of 18 yuan with this amount is very normal in all the old fried liver restaurants. To be honest, the douzhi is not good, it is too watery. Maybe it is to adapt to the taste of foreign tourists, but compared with traditional douzhi, it is at most soy milk.
Tianjin has a hundred years of history, and Beijing has a thousand years of history————In summer, I went on a mad trip to Tianjin and Beijing on the 12th Beijing Day 14-Yaoji Fried Liver 5 It is very popular, there are always so many people, it is very crowded. It is best to go with a group, one person goes to queue up to buy, and the other is responsible for finding a seat and occupying it, otherwise you may have to wait for a long time before you can sit down and eat. If you are not an old Beijinger, you may not be used to some things. Even if you order food by reputation, you may not eat it after two bites. For example, the mother and daughter opposite me are like this. They didn’t drink a single bite when they were served. They said they didn’t want to drink it after smelling the smell.
Yaoji Fried Liver, the aroma fills your tongue. This is the calligraphy hanging on the wall of the store, and almost every customer who comes in will order fried liver. The taste is very authentic, and old Beijingers love it. In addition to the signature dish fried liver, there are dozens of old Beijing snacks such as braised steamed buns, bean juice, fried dough sticks, pea yellow, honey yogurt, etc. The old storefront, old tables and chairs, old taste, and located next to the Bell and Drum Tower, this famous old Beijing shop has long been upgraded from a local breakfast shop to a place for tourists from all over the world to try new things, with customers coming in one after another and business is very good. The environment is a bit old, but it also reflects the true face of old Beijing. The taste is very
First of all, I want to talk about the steamed buns. The meat filling is super good. The steamed buns are purely handmade. Although the shape is not very good, but it is really delicious. I often see customers packing a bunch of steamed buns. It is a must-order, I love it. For fried liver, you must put chili. The intestines inside are really fragrant. It would be great if the fat could be removed a little. The stewed, cakes and bean products were packed by my friend, and the intestines were packed by me. There was something like lungs left, which seemed to be unacceptable. The taste was great. Fried tripe, accompanied by sesame sauce, brings all kinds of satisfaction. It seems that you must eat this when you come to Gulou to leave with satisfaction. However, it is very popular. There are still queues after one o'clock.
A very famous old Beijing snack shop. Located next to the Drum Tower, not far from Shichahai, Yandaixie Street, and Nanluoguxiang, many tourists come here to taste the Beijing snacks when they travel. The stewed steamed buns taste good, but the steamed buns are not very flavorful and a bit hard. Just order one steamed bun. The fried sausage is not served with a small dish of garlic juice like other shops, but with some minced garlic on top, so it tastes a bit dry. The honey yogurt is very good. The shop is very old and has an ancient charm, but the environment is a little worse, the air conditioning is not cool, the electric fan is not enough, and the toilet is outside. In short, it is very famous, but the taste is average; there are many tourists, but few repeat customers.
The food is quite affordable and I like the taste. The fried liver is full of pig intestines, and the stewed pork is also full of pig intestines, so it is great! I don’t remember what the big bone bowl is called, but it’s only 10 yuan for a big portion, which is good! There is also almond tofu, with a light osmanthus honey and almond flavor, which looks good and tastes good! Including two skewers of lamb tenderloin, three people spent 79,
Yao Ji Chao Gan Restaurant is very popular, with long queues. The steamed buns, braised pork, crispy food, fried liver, and noodles with soybean paste taste good. It costs about 30 yuan per person and is very filling. The food is crispy and crunchy. The Drum Tower location is obviously easy to find.
