At a glance
Lu Shang Lu is a Shandong restaurant on the second floor of the Sunshine Financial Center in Beijing’s Chaoyang district. The kitchen specialises in Confucian cooking, sea cucumber and live seafood from the Jiaodong peninsula; the MICHELIN Guide highlights a 45-day-old roast duck with caviar, prawn crackers and Shandong pancakes. The restaurant holds two MICHELIN stars.[1] [2]
Cooking & identity
The cooking is Shandong at the high end: Confucian banquet references, sea cucumber and live seafood, with a wine list that leans on Shandong. The chef’s own language is “inherit without fossilising, innovate without losing the root.”[1] [2]
The restaurant’s stated philosophy
Paraphrased from the restaurant, its group or a named chef’s statement.
In his MINGCHU profile, Wang Haoquan describes his training across Beijing, Shandong and official-banquet cooking, and his aim to pursue “delicious and good-looking” dishes. He sums up the approach as “inherit without fossilising, innovate without losing the root,” using modern technique and aesthetics to present traditional flavours, international ingredients and an international expression.
The MICHELIN Guide describes the restaurant’s Shandong focus, live seafood and the 45-day roast duck with caviar. The two sources give the restaurant both a stated philosophy and a concrete menu.

Included through two MICHELIN stars and a founder’s own professional statement on Shandong cuisine, technique and team-building. No dated collaboration was verified for this batch; that does not mean none took place. No separate chef page is published in this batch; the chef is named in the profile.[1] [2]
Independent observations
ChefsLanding · · Editorial commentary on the public record
“Inherit without fossilising, innovate without losing the root” is a good line because it names both risks. The test is the 45-day duck with caviar: does the caviar serve the Shandong bird, or is it there to raise the price?
The founder’s profile is self-presented, which makes it useful for philosophy and weak for independent verification. We would follow the sea cucumber and the duck, not the profile’s adjectives.
