Beijing bites happens to be within walking distance of my
office and it’s usually the place we hit when we have some treats or crave food
other than the sad canteen fare.
I’ve been to this branch twice now for lunch– both times its
extremely full with techies waiting outside , and having reservations don’t help either.
Usually, there’s a waiting period of atleast 20-30 minutes.
We usually start off with the hot n sour chicken soup –
which is a favorite of most of us.

| Hot N Sour Chicken soup |
Pretty standard spicy soup with a generous
portion of veggies and chicken.Cant go wrong here.
We ordered the dragon chicken and drums of heaven as starters.
 |
| Dragon Chicken |
The dragon chicken was the usual spicy saucy fried pieces of boneless chicken
along with capsicum and onion, with a hint of sweetness.Not bad but not great
either.
Drums of chicken were just ok – batter fried pieces of
chicken on its skimpy leg.It was hot and crispy and that was about it.

| Drums of heaven |
For mains we ordered a mixed fried rice along wit garlic chicken
gravy . Nothing much to rave about.

| Chicken Koithio,Garlic chicken and Mixed fried rice(L to R) |
We also had an order of chicken koithio- which is flat
noodles in a chicken spicy sauce and lot of veggies. It was ok but I’ve had
better in other outlets of Beijing
bites.
Overall it was just a normal eating out experience – and cost
effective.
On earlier occasion - I’ve tried the Thai red curry as well,
it was good but no pictures!

It all looks like the typical chinese food we get here. It looks quite good, contrary to what you say. Should be the abundant red colour in the food!
