History
Beijing has been the capital of China and home of the emperors for many centuries. The best chefs of each dynasty traveled from all over China to bring their signature dishes to the Emperor's kitchen in the imperial palace. The result is one of the world's richest and most sophisticated cuisines. Dong Lai Shun - literally 'Peace from the East' - was established in Beijing over 100 years ago and is now recognized as one of Beijing's leading restaurants with branches all over China. Although best known for its hot pot, we aim to bring you the best of Beijing cuisine in a setting that reflects the rich culture and history of the city. Our location in the Village at San Antonio features authentic Chinese furniture, carved panels and glass work designed to transport you to the capital of China where the emperor and his court enjoyed the best of everything. Enjoy the cuisine of Beijing you way - family style, individual plates, small plates or enjoy our chef's tasting menu.
