Royal Dinner Success

5.00My husband and I heard about this experience from a friend of ours whose parents live in the states but who are originally from China. They went to the dinner on a recent visit to Beijing and couldn't say enough good things about it. We watched videos on YouTube before booking and decided it would fit well into our itinerary. Over all it was a fun, visually beautiful experience. The meal was unique with some very tasty dishes. One consideration is the proximity from where we were staying in Beijing close to Qianmen St. We took a Didi with what we thought was more than enough time to arrive before Rhea, but unfortunately there was traffic control occurring and we were stuck in traffic not moving for about 20 minutes. Luckily we made it just as the dinner was starting, but in somewhat of a panic. Overall, we absolutely would recommend to anyone interested. We also recommend spending a bit more for row 2-3. It was great to be up front near the action!
Worth a visit

5.00Great for first timers to get a quick overview into Chinese culture and cuisine - 御仙都 For the adventurous, you can get dressed up in the costumes from Qing dynasty - as Emperor and Empress. Step into the tourist centre to understand the development of culinary styles through the dynasties. Great food and be entertained by the show/dances. Food portions are generous. Especially love the soup and dough stick that comes with it.
Excellent experience!

5.00A perfect place to see a traditional Chinese show and eat traditional Chinese food. It was very unusual and interesting. Special thanks to the organizers for fulfilling our request. We asked to replace pork dishes and only for us they served a separate lamb dish, instead of pork.
