Nestled within The Opposite House, a boutique hotel in the fashionable Sanlitun district of Beijing, Jing Yaa Tang’s name, meaning “an elegant room of classic refinement,” embodies the restaurant’s vision — to elevate the dining experience into an art form of timeless elegance.
The spatial layout is centered around an open kitchen designed as a stage, allowing guests to witness the chefs’ mastery of the roasting process as part of an immersive, theatrical dining experience. Here, gastronomy becomes performance — each guest both diner and spectator, embraced by a choreography of craftsmanship, flavor, and light.

INSPIRATION IN MOTION
The capital carries the timeless echoes of Chinese opera — a stage where history, art, and spirit intertwine. Just as the opera captures the soul of the city through drama and song, Peking duck embodies its essence through flavor and ritual.
We imagine a space where these two icons meet: the theatre becomes our canvas, its lights rising on the star of the stage
The glistening Peking duck. Beneath the spotlight, it takes its bow, a performance of taste and tradition, inviting guests to savor Beijing’s story in every bite.
