Reviews
- curly_canaryRight by Mudanyuan, super easy to get to — just a short walk from the subway and parking was no hassle either. The place has a really nice vibe, kinda elegant, with little fish swimming around in tanks which was a cute touch. Service was great, they brought out tea and sunflower seeds the second we sat down, and the food came out fast too, didn't have to wait around forever. We ordered the Peking duck and a few Anhui-style dishes, portions were solid and everything tasted really authentic. Great spot for hanging out with friends or even a business dinner, honestly I was pretty happy with the whole experience.
