Peking Duck House

The downtown location is in the middle of all the questionable touristy chinatown restaurants, but it is the real thing. Yes, the space is not quite attractive and yes, you often need to wait for a while to be seated. Also, you might be surrounded by a giant group from a bus tour, as were last week. All of this is completely worth it because of the perfect food. The duck is superb and comes with all the necessary sides; we figured out that if you order a couple of vegetable and noodle dishes, you'd want 1 duck for 3 people or 4 slightly less hungry ones. Try the green beans with pork and the thick noodles with pork as additional dishes. Skip the cheap house wines and stick with the tea and TsingTao beer. Pros: Duck, Sides, Service more

You cannot beat the quality of the Peking Duck served here - the name says it all. The decor is minimalist but you cannot be the quality of the food and the service is very attentive. Great for a large group. Pros: Duck, Service Cons: Decor more

If you enjoy Chinese cuisine you can't go wrong at this restaurant. A perfect place for dining in larger groups where sharing an array of various dishes makes things easy & enjoyable. Everything ordered was tasty and the Peking duck was perfect. The restaurant was surprisingly quiet. Decor is basic, service just fine but food is well worth every penny! Go! Pros: Peking Duck, Chinese cuisine, good for groups Cons: may close early more

The service is great and the food is just as good - perhaps even better. The proportions are reasonable, but the prices are very very high. Expect to pay at least $30-40 for a noodle or rice dish. Bring over $100 if you're going with a date. I wouldn't say the food is worth the price, but if you're not willing to go to Chinatown, it's really the best chinese food uptown. more
