LumDimSummary: Hatsune’s 9 Year Birthday Bash

After a month of rallying and putting the word out calling anyone and everyone who loves Hatsune to come out and show their love and support for this beloved restaurant group, we were joined by over 450 friends and fans in celebrating our 9 year anniversary party.

Gathering over free-flow sake, cocktails, legendary sushi rolls, brilliant sumo wrestling entertainment and Japanese drumming shows along with old school tracks courtesy of DJ Patrick Yu, Hatsune’s 9 year party exceeded not only our max capacity but our expectations.

On behalf of Alan Wong and the entire Hatsune Team, I want to give a giant bear hug and sincerely thank everyone for their continued support and for making Hatsune a Beijing legend.  It was an overwhelming turn-out, thank you to everyone for making this party such a memorable event!

What’s next for Hatsune?

Get ready for an awesome new Hatsune menu coming soon featuring new salads, new steak and seafood dishes along with over a dozen new sushi rolls including the five winners of the Hatsune sushi contest (click here to view winners).

Stumble Back into the Stumble Inn

After closing down on Lucky Street last year, Stumble Inn makes a comeback this weekend in Sanlitun Village, on the third floor across from Club Le Zazou and next to Blue Frog.

I didn’t make it to the opening on Friday night, but spent Sunday afternoon checking out the space, their food & super extensive drink menus and some of their dishes.

Here is Stumble Inn’s “The Original Stumbles Burger: 200g of homemade ground beef burger with lettuce, tomato, onion, pickle & French fries” (RMB 45)

While their original burger is great, I hear The Messy Burger (RMB 70) is the way to go.

Having just opened, they are still finalizing their menus, but here’s what you can expect:

Highlights:

• Over 100 beers from over 25 countries (RMB 20 – 70)
  
• 4 Draught Beers
• Selection of Long Islands (RMB 60)
• Alcoholic Shakes (RMB 50)
  
• Burgers (RMB 45-70)
• Sandwiches (RMB 30-40)
  
• Pool Table
• Dart Board
• 5 Plasma Screens

The Stumble Inn is a two-story venue, so naturally there is a bar on each level:

First Floor Bar/Second Floor Bar
