Fuxinggong Restaurant is a long-hours eatery at 69 South Street (Nan Dajie) in Pingyao Ancient City, about 100 metres south of the Ming-Qing Market Building in Pingyao County, Jinzhong, Shanxi province, China. It stands next to Tianyuankui on the old town's main commercial street, and it is known as a dependable stop for beef noodles and Pingyao snacks at very modest prices. It is open from 08:00 to 24:00, which makes it one of the few options in the walled city for a very early breakfast or a late-night meal.
The menu centres on Pingyao beef, the local air-cured and slow-braised product that the town is famous for. Braised beef noodle soup, priced at about ¥14 to ¥28 (about $2 to $4 USD), is the budget staple. Braised beef with aged vinegar, at about ¥78 (about $11 USD), and guoyou rou, the flash-fried pork in a sweet-sour glaze, at about ¥38 (about $6 USD), provide larger shared plates, and beef copper hotpot is also available for groups.
The atmosphere is plain and casual, with simple tables and the quick turnover of a noodle house on a tourist street. The restaurant has a rating of 3.4, lower than the neighbouring courtyard restaurants, so diners should expect a no-frills experience rather than a destination meal. There is no dress code, and drinks are tea, beer and soft drinks.
The restaurant takes walk-ins, and phone enquiries can be made on +86 354 568 3197. Because of its long opening hours and central location near the Ming-Qing Market Building and City Tower, it works well as a practical fallback when other places are full or closed.
