They're open Monday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 9:30 p.m., and while it’s closed on Sundays, the regulars will tell you it’s worth planning around. With its modest storefront and welcoming staff, Beijing House feels like the kind of family-run spot that Lubbock does best — relaxed, unpretentious, and full of flavor.

Mongolian BBQ, Sweet & Sour Chicken, and More

When it comes to favorites, locals rave about the Mongolian BBQ — a signature feature that lets diners pick their own ingredients and watch them get stir-fried right in front of them. It’s interactive, it’s filling, and it’s one of the few places in town still doing it the old-fashioned way.
