I made a reservation the next day for duck for 2. They let me know it would be too much food but both of us LOVE duck so we figured we would try our best. It’s a lot of food especially when we did duck 3 way. First way is the crispy skin and pieces of meat for wraps which was delicious. The crispy skin with the tender and juicy meat wrapped up in sauce and scallion was bursting with flavor.

The skin was so crunchy and greasy that it was first so tasty then you got fed up. If there was sth I can change I’d like them not to put the duck among the last they serve, as we had been fed with other dishes the time we got our duck. If you want to come, so remember to reserve around...
