BEIJING HOUSE 北京桃园

FINALLY! Authentic Szechuan Chinese food! We live in Dunedin and drove all the way over, and it was totally worth it! This is definitely not your typical Florida strip mall "Americanized" Chinese food. LOVED the hot and sour soup - very flavorful with quality ingredients including bamboo and wood ear mushrooms. Also got a griddle platter with lotus root, jalapenos, Szechuan peppercorns, cilantro, leeks, onion, and LOTS of hot pepper! I would say their dishes labeled as "spicy" are a "5", where 1 is not spicy and 10 is painfully hot. I requested an 8, and it was perfect! Highly recommend!

My husband and I had an amazing meal at Beijing House. Alice was our server and she went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience. She took the time to make suggestions and answer all of our questions. You could tell that she really stood behind the food she was serving. Everything is from scratch including the chili oil dumplings and scallion ginger noodles that I highly recommend you try. My husband and had the tea steamed duck and spicy fish. Both were excellent. Do yourself a favor and visit Beijing House!

This place has awesome, HOMEMADE dishes that are truly authentic, so be prepared for some things to be an acquired taste. My first experience here was great, being able to try a little bit of everything. The wontons for the soup are all made in house, as well as the noodles and various other dishes, which I truly appreciate. You get the taste of a home cooked meal. My favorite dishes are the Szechuan tea leaf duck and the scallion ginger noodles; pair those together and it's taste bud overload! I was also impressed by the General Tso's chicken, great flavor without it being overly spicy. And if you want a great appetizer, the scallion pancake is a hit! The restaurant is in a precarious location, but at least there's plenty of parking. I wasn't thrilled about the fried rice, was a bit bland and sadly, no Chinese sausage?! For $14 it seemed a bit high, for fried rice. The Tao po pork was also bland, no flavor. Overall I was pleased with most of the dishes I tried. For what it's worth, I
