What is unique about Dadong roast duck is its being crisp and not greasy. Its skin is more crisp and soft, and less greasy, than that of roast duck served in other restaurants. Its aroma hits your nose at some distance from your table. It’s so soft that it melts in your mouth instantly; so it suits the senior citizens, in particular.

The restaurant has a special way of processing the duck, with strict rules on the duration of the dressed duck’s immersion in hot water, the temperature of refrigeration, dryness, and the duration and degree of heating. While traditional processing makes the duck rid of some of its nutritional elements, the process employed by Dadong ensures that they are fully retained and well balanced.

The Dadong Roast Duck Restaurant features two more brand dishes–Shark Fin in Red Flower Sauce and Dong’s Sea Cucumber. The most frequently ordered dishes are: Australian beef with abalone sauce, goose liver with mushroom sauce, tongzicai, crystal goose liver, roast river eel, spicy jiayu (terrapin), and bird’s nest duck.

The restaurant has an elegant and ornate ambience. The exquisitely fashioned copper-nail-studded walls used to be the mullions when the place was a part of the imperial palace of Ming and Qing dynasties; the windows open onto clusters of lush bamboo. It’s a perfect choice for dinners with your business partners.
