General Notes

---

Chinese restaurant in San Bruno specializing in Beijing specialties. I've been here twice. The first time, I came here on a whim because I saw that they have 松鼠鱼 here. Ironically we ordered it but it never came because they messed up our order so we didn't end up having it. The second time, I came here with a larger group and tried their duck. Overall, the food was pretty solid! Definitely had a better experience the second time than the first time, one of the better ducks in the bay area.

Dishes Tasted

---

• ★★★★ dry pot cauliflower -- surprisingly really really delicious
• ★★★★ 北京烤鸭 -- this is excellent -- the skin is incredible, the meat is super juicy + flavorful. One of the better ducks I've had in the bay for sure.
• ★★☆☆ 北京烧麦 -- decent but the meat was a little dry -- needs more water and onion.
• ★☆☆☆ 煎饼果子 -- bland and somewhat uninteresting, not my favorite
• ★★★★ stir-fried chrysanthemum greens -- usually not my preferred vegetable but this was stir-fried REALLY well. Great cook, excellent flavor.
