At Beijing, we serve comforting takeaway favourites packed with bold taste, quality ingredients, and the familiar warmth of classic Chinese cooking — ready for you to enjoy at home.
Beijing opened its doors on Greenstead Road in 1992. Chef Wong arrived from Guangzhou with a battered copy of his grandmother's recipes and a single Chinese cleaver. Both are still in use today.
We keep things simple. Freshly hand-folded dumplings each morning. Duck marinated overnight and hung to air-dry. Rice that steams in bamboo — never a rice cooker. Dishes that taste of somewhere, because they came from somewhere.
Came here on a whim last Tuesday and I'm already planning to return. The aromatic duck is genuinely the best I've had north of London.
Ordered the Set Menu B for three. Arrived piping hot, beautifully packed, everything labelled. The salt & chilli prawns had us silent.
Been eating here since I was a child. Thirty years on, still the same kind welcome and still the same extraordinary food.
Finally found a takeaway where the veg is actually cooked with care. The Buddha's Delight is a revelation. My partner ordered seconds.
