天兴居（鲜鱼口街店）
A famous Chaogan eatery in Qianmen Xianyukou, offering affordable brunch options like Chaogan, steamed buns, and deep-fried starch sausage.
Located at No. 81-83 Xianyukou Street in Dongcheng District, very close to Qianmen Street. The signature dishes are Chaogan and pork and scallion steamed buns, alongside deep-fried starch sausage, Luzhu Huashao, Douzhi'r, and mustard cabbage (Jiemadun), allowing diners to sample a variety of Beijing snacks in one place. Expect to queue for seats during peak hours. Some reviews note that the Chaogan is on the thicker side, while the steamed buns are highly rated.
