With less than 20 days to go before Spring Festival, reasonably-priced restaurants in Beijing, including those serving home-style dishes, are already almost fully booked for dinner for the eve of Chinese New Year. Many traditional restaurants are even offering reasonably-priced take-out meals.

In over 40 branches of reasonably-priced home-style cooking catering enterprises, such as Guolin, Dayali and Taishuxi, 90% of the tables on Chinese New Year's Eve are fully booked.

Moreover, over 70% VIP rooms these restaurants have been reserved for dinners from the first day to the sixth day of China's lunar year.

Famous traditional restaurants such as Hongbinlou, Kaorou Wan and Qu Yuan Jiu Lou have started to offer reasonably-priced set meal take-outs for the eve of Chinese New Year, as well as gift packages for the Spring Festival holiday.

For example, Qu Yuan Jiu Lou has launched three sets of semi-finished Chinese New Year's Eve take-out meals: "Hejiamei" priced at 358 yuan, "Fumanjia" at 448 yuan and "Xituanyuan" at 528 yuan.

The restaurant Houdefu is offering two sets of semi-finished take-out meals--"Golden Ox Celebrates New Year" (Jinniuhesui in Pinyin) priced at 388 yuan and 588 yuan, each with eight-courses of classic Henan-style hot dishes, such as Yudong pork hock.

All these take-out dishes will be well finished simply at home with the help of the instructions.

Bianyifang will instead deliver cooked Chinese New Year's Eve dinners directly to the homes of costumers, with a minimum order of 500 yuan.
