    Food was flavorful although didn't come out steaming hot, as all Chinese food should be served. Peking duck was authentic and the stir-fried green beans were lovely with garlic. Service was friendly but a little overbearing (insisted on serving food on my plate rather than allowing me to eat at my own pace). Otherwise, the menu was a bit limited. Would I return? Not likely, there are many other choices on Chicago to try!

    Our duck dinner was amazing. In addition, we had the spicy beef potstickers and Szechuan green beans. Everything was delicious. For a special occasion, I’d definitely go back.
