One street ( road ) with food stalls on the left & right. Used to be the place where workers getting off late at night can find a place to eat. It’s more modern now and it’s mostly serving Spicy food on the menu. Occasionally there’s gizzards etc in between. Mostly dominated by a few chains of restaurants; it’s a good place to try the crawfish 🦞or crawdads 🤔. Tried at one of the famous outlet Hu Ta. Not the main outlet as I am not willing to wait for 2 hours. Their other outlets along the street has as a much shorter waiting time. Price is decent , environment is good ( tat noisy but good ) and the service is great too. There’s also local pastry stall and is recommended to give it a go. Recommend to try. Go a bit earlier if you intend to dine there. Be aware it’s spicy food that dominates the place. Don’t need much time there as 2 to 3 hours will be more than sufficient if not dining. Enjoy.

This place has plenty of restaurants and people head there mostly to eat crawfish. There are two popular chains and if you have time to spare and don't mind waiting for two over hours before eating, you can join their queue. We ended up eating steamboat at Xiao Long Kan instead. Just be careful that there will be touting at the more popular restaurants.

This street is full of restaurants of the same chain monopolizing the place. I think I saw less than 10 different chains of restaurants. Go if you have extra time to spare, otherwise can skip. You can experience hot and spicy Chinese food elsewhere in Beijing.

Be prepared every single shop will have a tout standing in front of the shop yelling every one that passing by. They always said spicy or non spicy for elderly or children.

This street is the best street in Beijing to experience the current trending food. It has a really cool vibe and the best thing at the moment is that you can also enjoy the World Cup footie in lots of restaurants along the road!
