| - Legit Peking Duck. I travel to Beijing for work frequently, and every trip includes a peking duck dinner. This restaurant lives up to its name - very comparable to some of the best ducks I've had in the mainland.
What we ate:
Peaking duck wrap combo, includes:
- 2 steamers of flour wraps ~12 wraps per steamer! Made perfectly moist and thin, just like they make it in Beijing
-duck neck skin/fat crisped to perfection, dipped in sugar as an appetizer before the main meal
- plate full of duck meat/skin for the wraps - skin was again perfectly crisped, duck was meaty, not too fatty, pieces were sliced thin enough to put into the wrap, but also thick enough to maintain the natural juices and favor of the meat
- cucumber strips
- leek strips
- hoisin sauce
Xiao long bao: ordered 3 steamers of this ~6/steamer - meat/dumpling skin was proportion. Skins were made fresh in the kitchen and delightfully filled with savory soup.
Wah Wah Choy: giant platter of leafy vegetables served with or without the soup base. We got ours with the soup. Tasted like squash soup? Vegetables were fresh, no complaints.
Spicy beef slices: this is a cold appetizer of cooked beef slices marinated in hot chilly sauce. Huge portion size.
Overall the food here is fantastic and service was on point. My family has come here about 4 times now, food has been relatively consistent in quality. Admittedly service is not on par during the busy weekend rush.
I highly recommend this place, but come on a weekday!
