Beijing Duck @ O Mandarin
Came here for a late lunch. Service is the same, adequate; food is decent, price is reasonable and presentation is very good. We ordered the Peking Duck and it came within 20 minutes, so it’s heating up job. (Some restaurants require pre-order, claiming they need time to prepare and cook.) They carved the bird in the kitchen, and brought out on two small plates.
Long Island ducks are small -:) Not memorable at all. However, the sides are really good: thinly shredded cucumber and scallions, with the appropriate thin crepes – many restaurants use yeast steamed buns/bread 发面馒头 which is a major crime. They don’t offer duckie’s bone soup but you can bring it home – most times, diners ask to have the bone soup and some even use the duck meat to stir fry with garlic chives 韭黄, but not here. They threw is away unless you ask.
- The Grand Jardin is pretty good
- pot sticker 大连 very good
- spicy shrimps – really good
- lamb chop – so so
- Emperor’s Cabbage – ok
