Chinese Islamic cuisine ( 清真菜 ) is cuisine of the Hui ( 回族 ethnic Chinese Muslims ) and other Muslims living in China. Due to the majority Muslim population in western China, many Chinese restaurants cater to Muslims or cater to the general public but are run by Muslims.

A Chinese Islamic restaurant ( 清真菜馆 ) can sometimes be similar to a Mandarin restaurant with the exception that there is no pork in the menu. The Chinese word for halal is "pure truth" ( 清真 ), so a Chinese Islamic restaurant is a "qingzhen restaurant" that serves "qingzhen" food.

In most major cities in China, there are small Islamic restaurants typicially run by migrants from Western China, which offer inexpensive noodle soup. These restaurants are typically decorated with Islamic motifs such as pictures of Islamic rugs and Arabic writing.

Another difference is that lamb and mutton dishes are more commonly available than in other Chinese restaurants, due to the greater prevalence of these meats in the cuisine of western Chinese regions.

Many cafeterias (canteens) at Chinese universities have separate sections or dining areas for Muslim students (Hui or western Chinese minorities), typically labeled "qingzhen." Student ID cards sometimes indicate whether a student is Muslim, and will allow access to these dining areas, or will allow access to special occasions such as the Eid feast following Ramadan.

Common dishes:

• la mian ( 拉面 ), or clear-broth stewed beef noodle soup ( 清墩牛肉汤面 )
• nang ( 馕 ) (Round unleavened breads, topped with sesame)
• yang rou chuan ( 羊肉串 ) (Barbecued mutton skewers)
