We ordered the Peking Duck Dinner Special and there are definitely Pros & Cons to this meal. As for the decor it isn't bad at all with some faux Shanghai skyline wall, a small indoor WATER FOUNTAIN and even a CN Tower-like structure in the middle of the restaurant.
The service was VERY nice which I was not expecting at all from a Chinese restaurant but maybe because I was POLITE. :-)
The Pros is that the meal was quite a deal at roughly $35($45 tax/tip-in) which is supposedly to serve 3 but enough to serve 5 as my friend said, but I believe I could have finished everything but didn't wanna PIG OUT. It came with large pot of West Lake Beef Soup, excuse my DIRECT translation. Salt & Spicy Fried Pork, Xiao Long Bao, Peking Duck 2-ways, Baby Bokchoy, and Mango Pudding(?).
The Soup was very nice with lots of TOFU and a good consistency with the corn starch slurry to thicken it up. The Pork was same as any other place. The Xiao Long Bao was OK but the dough was definitely in the way as it was thicker than Ding Tai Fung.
The Peking Duck was not that great as even though the SKIN was crispy, it didn't REFLECT light like others I've had so I guess it wasn't prepare to that level that Peking Duck is known for. I'm not an expert but it definitely had a DARKER skin than others which might be due to over-BBQing.
Mango Pudding?!? When did that become a Shanghai FAVOURITE? It came out just like how some Jap AYCE serve them in a tiny plastic cup just enough for 1-bite.
There you go, my Pros & Cons... It's a TIE and therefore my A-OK ranking stands true. Maybe I'll go visit next time to get my NOODLE on.
