Yinghuo Paella 硬货·西班牙海鲜饭

This paella restaurant seems to be catering to upwardly mobile Chinese with curious tastebuds, what with its lack of an English name and the unconventional combination of chicken wings and prawns in one of its paella options (priced at RMB 108). Be that as it may, we found that dish to be delicious, if left of center, while the straightforwardly satisfying sides, from plump and tender sweet potato wedges (RMB 20 for a bowlful of about half a dozen) to salty and sizzling shrimp skewers (RMB 36) also didn't hurt. Add all that up with a charming, laid-back atmosphere and convenient location in Sanlitun Soho, and you have a winning combination.
