Beijing certified roast duck! Thin as cicada skin!
【Food Recommendations】 🌟 Peking Duck The duck meat is tender lean meat—no fat, but not the least bit dry! The roasted duck skin is so crispy it’s like a cracker, and the pancake wrappers 🫓 are thin enough to let light through—plus, they’re free to refill! Even my Beijing friend gave it a huge thumbs up, saying it tastes just like the duck from little alleys in Beijing! Rice bowl rating (how much we loved it): 🍚🍚🍚🍚🍚 ⚠️ Heads up‼️ The duck is limited daily! You need to pre-order three days in advance to guarantee a portion. But if you go at lunchtime, you’ll probably still get it! If you order on the spot, suggest ordering as soon as you sit down—it takes ~1 hour to prepare. 🌟 Cumin Roasted Lamb Shank This lamb is so tender—no gamey taste at all! It doesn’t look like much in photos, but it’s surprisingly delicious! The bits with tendon and a little fat are extra flavorful—tossed with cumin and the restaurant’s special sauce, it’s so good my friend picked up the bones and gnawed them clean! Rice bowl rating: 🍚🍚🍚🍚🍚 🌟 Black Truffle Dumplings Truffle lovers, you’ll go crazy for these! So fragrant, and the dumpling wrappers are nice and chewy—I could polish off a whole steamer by myself! Rice bowl rating: 🍚🍚🍚🍚🥢 🌟 Bacon & Cheese Fried Dumplings A fun Chinese-Western fusion dish! Take a bite, and you get a mouthful of melted cheese—totally worth a try! Rice bowl rating: 🍚🍚🍚🍚 🌟 Braised Pork Belly The outside is a little crispy, and it’s rich but not greasy! There’s also something fried until crispy that looks like seaweed—tasty! But compared to the other dishes, it’s a bit plain. Rice bowl rating: 🍚🍚🍚 🌟 Zha Jiang Mian (Fried Sauce Noodles) To quote my Beijing friend: “Not authentic, but delicious” 😹 The meat sauce mixed with green onions, fermented beans, and tomato is so fragrant—later, we even wrapped it in the duck pancakes, and it was amazing! Rice bowl rating: 🍚🍚🍚🍚🥢 🌟 Dishes We Order Again and Again 【Xiaolongbao (Soup Dumplings)】 The chef used to work at Din Tai Fung—thin wrappers, lots of filling, and plenty of soup! 【Cumin Ribs】 The meat falls right off the bone, with that smoky cumin flavor like from a barbecue stall. 【Spicy Wontons】 Thin wrappers, flavorful filling—so good!
