In general though, it's quite a bit more expensive than other xiaochi places - for example, a bowl of miancha there is 7 kuai, and it is 2 kuai at Huguosi... so if you fall in love with any of these goodies, there are probably cheaper (if less scenic) places around town to eat them.

I've been there multiple times and never spend more than 100 kuai total for 2 persons, including a beer. Sounds like you got ripped off! Too bad. Jiumen Xiaochi is a great place to sample Beijing's famous xiao chi, and it's really fun there. It's one of the truer Beijing experiences.

JF is a travel agent magazine in the USA. I will be in Beijing on September 1, 2, 3, and 9. I am wondering if you have time to meet up and wander around some street food and talk about it? Maybe the afternoon of September 3rd or maybe September 9th around 7 or 8 pm (can't do it earlier) if you think that evening is better to get the real "feeling and flavor". Please email me, and we can discuss. Thanks!!! Marian Dear Jen + Christine,

I leave beloved Beijing in just 5 days and have been wondering how I will survive back in the States without all of my favorite foods. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I'm looking forward to more!

I've been to Jiu Men'r a few times before and the costs are not that bad! There are plenty of items i tried including deserts, cheeses and BBQ for well bellow 50 RMB. still, having gone there a few times, it's a spot i save for new out of town tourists.

I knew it was expensive but not *that* expensive. I guess you've saved me a visit – thanks! – but perhaps I should go anyways to satisfy my curiosity. A lot of the Beijing laozihao shops in Jiumen actually have other locations around town that are much more reasonably priced, but then you give up the convenient smorgasbord set-up. Fifty kuai!
