Beijing is home to many great eats. The internet is already filled with many content creators showcasing jianbing guozi and peking roast duck. Expansive and luxurious Chinese buffets also will sometimes be showcased by creators. But Michelin star Chinese food is something that is not covered enough. When I saw that Beijing had a three Michelin star restaurant I knew I had to try it!

King's Joy is a 3 Michelin star vegetarian restaurant and it even once made La Liste's ranking of the world's best restaurants! Being awarded 1 Michelin star a few years ago, King's Joy has continued to improve, being upgraded to two the following year, and recently to three! Is Beijing's Michelin Star restaurant King's Joy worth the hype? Or is it just getting praise because it's in a fancy atmosphere and it's a vegetarian menu?

We'll find out together, as well as find out together what 3 Michelin star Chinese food is like!

    UA, I really love your approach to your reviews. Your "brand" is that you are straight-forward, super-honest, and have no pretensions. I dont care that you are learning about different foods and that if you dont like or understand something, you just admit that. It's refreshing. I also think Tina is a great contributor and you will defer to her and learn from her, as in this video. Finally, you are very talented in describing food, which is not easy to do. And you can do it without saying "umami" in every sentence. Keep up the good work.

  • Going from 95% steakhouses to a vegetarian restaurant. That's a big change (I think your girlfriend convinced you to go there lol).

    You are SO funny! I truly appreciate the honesty of your videos. This restaurant is so beautiful and I liked how they offered you additional food for free (at a michelin starred restaurant!!). I would really love to see you do a review of abcV in NY - I keep vegetarian and it looks amazing and I have wanted to go there for forever.

    Love your videos! Next time you're in Vegas, you should try Wing Lei at the Wynn, think it was the first Michelin-starred Chinese restaurant in the U.S. when it opened (One Michelin Star at the moment).

    Haha...tastes 'healthy" sounds like you were not overwhelmed with flavor! The meditation piano music in the background is very soothing. It sounds healthy too!
