I used to think the name meant "that little place." I was a fool.
Na is actually a Manchu surname.
This Manchurian restaurant delivers consistently delicious and unique food in an atmospheric, classy and hygenic environment at accessible prices - it is a great place to take guests and open people's eyes about the richness of Beijing's food culture.
Since it is a great, dependable place, both branches seem perpetually packed. Be prepared to wait for a table unless you have a reservation or game the system by arriving 15 minutes before the crowd.
Although the Botanical Gardens branch is an unpromising dusty 5min walk south of the park, the decor, service and food are everything you would expect of the Yong'anli branch.
Lots of deer meat on the menu, not sure how sustainable that is, but the service staff assures us that they are farmed ... which I guess eases the mind (a mind eased by animal farming).
