Serve The People (Wei Renmin Fuwu)
It's a sign of the times that Mao's best-known slogan can be used so frivolously by this chic Thai eatery, although Sanlitun Bar Street is now marked with a sign that reads SERVE THE PEOPLE'S ENTERTAINMENT NEEDS. In the heart of the San Li Tun diplomatic quarter, you'll find Beijing's finest Thai food at very reasonable prices. The grilled beef salad and green chicken curry are highly recommended, and thepad thai(rice noodles with seafood in peanut sauce) is done to perfection. The small but interesting wine list has a limited by-the-glass selection. The temptation to use inappropriate local ingredients (such as cabbage!) plagues other Thai restaurants in the capital, but here the people are given their due.
