There are four branches of the Makye Ame Tibetan Restaurant. The flagship location in Lhasa, Tibet, opened in 1997. The Beijing branches near Silk Street and Tuanjiehu opened in 2001 and 2005, respectively. The branch in Kunming, Yunnan Province, has been in operation since 2003. Emboldened by the chain's steady growth, owner Tsering Wangqing has plans to open a Shanghai branch in the next few years.

Eating here will cost guests approximately 100 yuan per person, but the restaurant is an escape from the quintessential Beijing dining experience. By coming to the restaurant, Mu De Jing hopes that customers will learn more about traditional Tibetan décor and costumes as well as cuisine.

With Chinese and foreigners alike enamored of traditional Tibetan culture, the Makye Ame restaurant serves as a convenient haven to admire it even more.
