Worth the wait. No reservations, we waited for 15 minutes for the restaurant to open at lunch time and got a table.

The Peking duck was very juicy and crispy and they also cut all the meat off the bone so no hassle with handling of bones.

The food quality is always excellent! The staff will go out of their way to give you premium service. I order live lobster two days in advance. They serve it cooked to order in black bean sauce over noodles two days later. Fabulous!!
