Brand Story
Founded in 1948 by Hui chef Ding Deshan, Youyishun (meaning 'another smooth success') began as a venture after Ding's apprenticeship at the famed Donglaishun. Located near Wangfujing, it blended the boiling techniques of Donglaishun with the grilling style of Kaorou Wan, creating a unique halal culinary identity. In 1956, during the public-private partnership movement, the restaurant moved to Xidan, becoming a symbol of Beijing's halal dining. Known for meticulous ingredient selection, precise knife skills, and perfect heat control, its signature dishes include instant-boiled mutton and grilled beef. Youyishun stands as a testament to the heritage and evolution of Beijing's halal cuisine, a beloved landmark for food enthusiasts.
