The food from Yunnan province is spicy, but not just pepper hot. A lot of ginger, lemongrass, maybe even some sichuan "flower" pepper. I had a lemongrass chicken, perfectly cooked, and fried mushrooms were hot and had zero sogginess. Reasonable beer and bourbon selection.

Spending a few days in Beijing. No real clue about food. Found this place via TA. Very good. Would have rated excellent if they had not sold out if spring rolls. Would definitely recommend a trip.

Description
Little Yunnan is a charming courtyard restaurant with outdoor seating near the Forbidden City, Houhai Lake, Nanluoguxiang and Art Museum, tucked away in the hutongs. The atmosphere is cozy and relaxed, perfect for relaxing with friends, visitors and tourists, and romantic dinners. Yunnan food is exotic, slightly sweet, spicy and sour, and is often described as the Thai food of China. Little Yunnan brews its own rice wine. Definitely one of must-see places when you visit Beijing.
