Great small restaurant - Edit
Great vegetarian and vegan food, but a bit pricey for Beijing so expect a lot of foreigners/tourists. Helpful staff that speaks English. Not too many tables, so it fills up quickly

Good food, small portions - Edit
We had most of the dishes which were all delicious. Did however leave hungry, which for me is a minus. Prices are allright.

Hidden Gem with Great Service - Edit
The food was very well prepared and had a unique perspective, creating new dishes instead of copying standard dishes with fake meat. They are making good blends and mouth sensations with vegan ingredients. Our waitress, Ivana_guo, was very helpful not only with food, but she also gave me a lot of vegan tips for finding good restaurants that are vegan-friendly. I would definitely return the next time I am in China. This is where I learned about HappyCow!

Went twice during my stay — cosy vibe, great vegan-friendly food, lovely decor & service. A real gem worth revisiting! - Edit
I had dinner at Chao Chao twice, and both visits were absolutely delightful. The food was incredibly tasty and beautifully presented, and the atmosphere inside the restaurant was warm and inviting. It’s a small and charming space, thoughtfully decorated with lovely ambient lighting that adds to the cosy vibe.
Read moreThe service was exceptional — the staff were genuinely kind and spoke excellent English, which I hadn’t expected but truly appreciated. It was my first night in town when I discovered Chao Chao, and the experience left such a great impression that I returned for a second meal.
For anyone vegan or vegetarian, this is a definite must-visit.
Pros: the atmosphere, the food, the friendly staff

We tasted several different rice wines, and followed the owners suggestions for food. Everything was amazingly good, beautifully presented and carefully prepared. The environment is small, but lovely and the owner is well informed, speaks English and quite attentive.

Adorable place with excellent service - Edit
We had a great experience overall at chaochao. The restaurant is small but cute. They have very interesting items on the menu that were so fun to try. The food was good, but what really blew us away was the excellent service. Our servers were attentive and helpful. We ordered the tofu sticks, which normally comes with two but since there were three of us dining they gave us an extra which I thought was very considerate. Our servers also both spoke English which was helpful. I’d definitely go back to chaochao!

Das beste Essen in Beijing - Edit
Sehr leckeres Essen, super nette Bedienung und ganz süßer Laden. Leider haben wir ihn erst am letzten Abend entdeckt. Die selbst gemachten Nudeln waren spitze und auch der Tofu!

Best dining experience in Beijing - Edit
What a wonderful surprise! The waitress explained that the food is a fusion of different Chinese regional cuisines, with touches of Japan (thanks to the use of miso) and Korea (with kimchi). I loved the creativity, explosion of flavors, and the beautiful presentation of the dishes. The staff is adorable and speaks great English 🥰
Read more🍽 Favorite dishes: Eggplant "Cheeze" Rolls, Xiang Xiang Crispy Tofu Cubes, Fresh Bowl of Noodles, and Huangjiu Ice Cream (descriptions along with the photos)
🏪 Atmosphere: Cozy, nicely decorated, and good music.
We were lucky to get a table without a reservation—it was the last one available! I definitely recommend booking in advance.
Pros: Delicious food, Cozy atmosphere, Friendly staff

Tiny but excellent and creative little restaurant! - Edit
The menu is really interesting here: it’s lots of traditional Chinese cuisine with very creative spins on it. It’s kind of tapas style as well, so you can order tons of different dishes and get to try a lot of unique things. And I completely second everyone here who has mentioned how sweet the staff is as well, they really elevated the experience with lots or warmth and smiles, as well great sake recommendations. And they speak English, too 😁

Best food in China so far :-) - Edit
A bijou restaurant with a nice vibe and contemporary decor. We really enjoyed the food. It was Asian inspired with a twist. Nice flavours and each dish quite different. Service was excellent and the price reasonable. Would recommend if you want something different😄

Chefs kiss 🤌 - Edit
was veganes Essen in Peking angeht - da ist es wirklich eine Herausforderung überhaupt etwas zu finden wo man sich (ohne fließende Sprachskills) sicher sein kann. Das chao chao war nicht nur meine Rettung weil es auch über Maps einfach zu finden ist - Leute, der Laden ist ne 10/10!
Read moreHandverlesene kleine Karte, angenehmer vibe, tolles Personal. So und jetzt zum wichtigsten: das Essen ist fantastisch! Ich hatte knusprig gebratenen Seidentofu und Dumplings - beides so perfekt zubereitet mit super interessanten feinen Aromen, dass ich unbedingt noch einmal hin muss um weitere Gerichte zu testen.
Trivia: schaut euch die Bilder im Laden an, einige sind vom Inhaber gemalt. ☺️
Pros: Feine Auswahl, Zauberhafte Gesellschaft , Köstliches Essen

I love it - Edit
The confluence of the vibe, the decoratioms and the food is phenomenal! I happened to be there when the owner and his husband were there too, and they were both very cool people. The restaurant has a very cute and interesting story too. I wanted to be there one more time before my trip ends but the timing just didn't work out! If I go back to Beijing, I will definitely go back there!
Read moreReservation recommended. And even that, seatings might not be guaranteed. They have very limited seatings and they are quite popular!
Pros: Food and vibe

Great place, good food - Edit
I really liked the interior of the place and the staff was also very friendly and spoke good english! I had the noodles in sweet soy sauce (which where good) and the dumplings (which where alright but a bit bland). So eventhough the food was good i had even higher hopes when walking in.

Charming tiny restaurant with incredible food - Edit
Simply amazing food and atmosphere! We found this tiny vegan bar/restaurant via ChatGPT (not on GoogleMaps and hard to find on AppleMaps), and enjoyed a perfect small dinner during our short layover in Beijing. The owner recommended us his favorite dishes (tapas portions, so pick 5-6 for 2 people) and didn’t disappoint us. The Tian Shui Mian noodles are a blast!
