Reviews
- frosty_spiderCame here with a friend for the Peking duck and honestly it was such a great experience. The place has a really nice vibe — soft lighting, super cozy, and honestly super photo-worthy if you're into that. The duck itself was amazing. Skin was so crispy and the meat just melted in your mouth. I tried it with the sugar first like they suggested and wow, so good. The chef came right to our table to carve it up which was kinda fun to watch, felt really special. We rolled the duck into these thin pancakes with scallions and sweet bean sauce — so many flavors going on, every bite was different. Service was super attentive too, they actually helped us wrap the pancakes which was sweet. Whole night just felt easy and a little bit romantic honestly. Would totally come back here.
