The American hot dog chain and sponsor of the world's biggest hot dog eating competition serves fast food in Beijing. In addition to the famous Coney Island dogs, you'll also find lots of seafood-based offerings, like fried shrimp and fish and chips.

I took a break from Nathan's after consistently getting cardboard-dry, hotdog buns during the latter half of 2011. It was terribly disappointing, and I vowed never to return.
I went back recently, and decided to give them another chance after craving pretzels & lemonade, but finding the pretzel place in Raffles City had disappeared. They have fixed their buns, to my delight! Along with my hotdog, I had a cheeseburger, fries, lemonade and their pineapple sundae. All spot on, just like they should be, like a recent poster explained. It's American food culture. If you can accept and understand that, you'll love the food; like I do.
My favorite burger in Beijing is from Burger King. Nathan's burger is a tie, if not a close second.
I also discovered they have free Wi-Fi. Another plus. If only they weren't in a basement-level food court...

we ordered delivery from this place on jinshisong.com just to see if the restaurant would be worth a visit some time.
Super cheeseburger, Cheese dog, Chili cheese fries.
Absolutely inedible.
It was completely cold. It took more than one hour (though this could be delivery guys fault). They gave me one tiny spoonful of meat chili sauce, not enough for 2 Fries and the cheese sauce was foul. The fries were cold and soggy and had that gritty powdery texture of frozen potato which is then under-cooked. The hot dog bun was the driest bread i have ever tasted and it was 1/3 the size of the hot dog itself, the burger bun was the same, dry sweet yellow Jingkelong bread. The mayonnaise on the burger was so sweet and the Chinese brand ketchup packets were gross.
We threw all the food away. Total waste of money. Disgusting. Glad we didn't go all the way to Dongzhimen for it.
I don't think a place like this should be on a delivery website, they took way to long. But even ignoring the coldness of everything, it was still revolting.

I had my first Nathan's hot dog freshman year at NYU and it's no wonder Nathan's is known for having the best hot dogs. So you can imagine why I was excited to see Nathan's open in Beijing. I tried the hot dog, the burger, the fries and the ice cream and they've done a good job replicating the original. They're not the biggest hot dogs, but if you know Nathan's in the US, then you know it's not the size but the quality. Staff was friendly, but would be good if they spoke better English. Props to Nathan's and I'll be back for more chili cheese dogs.

[HTML_REMOVED] There’s no getting around the fact that Nathan’s is fast food. But we’d choose this place any day over McDonald’s, mostly because the décor’s nicer and the food doesn’t leave us feeling sick. The hot dog (¥15) is about half the size of Stadium Dog’s. The beef sausage is decent—and we love the relish—but the bun is dry. The best menu item we tried is the chicken tenders (¥16 for three), big, delicious, KFC-style pieces of breaded fried chicken. The lemonade’s (¥8) pretty tasty, and better than Auntie Anne’s. Free Wi-Fi and the super cute hot dog-patterned chairs add to the appeal, but given the multitude of hot dog and hamburger options in Beijing, we’re not planning on becoming Nathan’s regulars.
