Tango with new menu

Rice 'hamburger'

Yoshinoya, a Chinese snack shop known for its rice with beef, has opened its first "sunshine new store" in Xidan in Beijing. The restaurant adopts an open kitchen, and an LED screen, showing customers the whole process of food preparation. The move aims to show customers the enterprise's determination to ensure food quality and safety.

At the same time, the restaurant released a new item on the menu, a "rice hamburger", which uses two layers of flattened rice cake instead of flour cake to make the buns. The rice is from northeast China. There are two versions, one with kimchi and beef slices, another with chicken fillet.
