Z&Y Peking Duck โ State Banquet-Level Dining at $50 Per Person! ๐ฆ๐
Itโs true โ the best food really is in San Francisco! We visited Z&Y Peking Duck, where the chef formerly cooked for the Chinese Consulate in SF โ and it shows. Every dish is refined, balanced, and masterfully executed. ๐ซ Silken Tofu Soup The tofu is sliced impossibly thin โ delicate, soothing, and full of subtle flavor. ๐ฅ Appetizer Platter Featuring cherry yam, braised pork elbow, yellow wine chicken, mustard cabbage, and seaweed salad. Each element shined โ especially the cherry yam. ๐ฅ Da Lian Huo Shao (Beijing-Style Pan-Fried Dumplings) Crispy, thin-skinned, and generously filled. ๐ง Creative Scallion Tofu A modern take on a classic โ silken tofu served in delicate tofu skin, elegant and light. ๐ฆ Peking Duck (Must-Order!) Sliced tableside with flair ๐ญ. Crispy skin, tender meat, and paper-thin pancakes that glow when held to the light. Even the half-duck portion came with plenty of pancakes and condiments. ๐ฅฉ Slow-Braised Black Pepper Beef Short Rib The surprise star! Meltingly tender with bold but balanced black pepper notes. ๐ค Kung Pao Shrimp Plump, fresh shrimp in sweet-spicy sauce โ a lively, appetizing dish. ๐ Yu Xiang Eggplant Perfectly balanced sweet, sour, and spicy โ ideal with rice. ๐ฐ Almond Jelly Dessert A wobbly, adorable rabbit-shaped treat โ cute, delicious, and a lovely finish. Four people, $200 total โ thatโs just $50 per person for Michelin-recommended, state banquet-level Chinese cuisine.
