This is a restaurant serving cuisine from a minority ethnicity in Yunnan. Unlike typical northerner/Beijing dishes, the dishes here are usually low in oil and salt, and absolutely delcious, which made it a no-brainer. Dishes range from 6RMB (for simple sauteed green vegetables) to 25RMB (for sweet and sour chicken, which is similar to what we have in America but tastes so much better). I highly recommend the sweet and sour chicken as well as the pineapple rice, both of which are kind of Yunnan/southern specialties. Although the average was around 30RMB per meal per person, if you think of that in US terms, it's less than $4. Considering this was one of the best restaurants I've come across in China, I'd say it's a steal
