Silly Bunnies All Over Suzuki

Whenever I’m working in the Beixinqiao 北新桥 area (at least once or twice a week), you can pretty much pin me down at Suzuki Kitchen between 12:30PM-1:30PM.  Suzuki Kitchen is a down-to-earth little Japanese restaurant that has recently exploded on Dianping with positive reviews praising their quick service, relaxed atmosphere and affordable prices and I totally agree.  It’s simple, it’s cute (little decorative bunnies in every direction you look), and it’s great value.

They currently have a handful of branches around the Gulou area including Mao’er Hutong and Xiao Ju’er Hutong near Nanluoguxiang.

These are all components that make Suzuki such a solid option for the little Beixinqiao neighborhood.
