This duck dish was great (enjoyed the hints of ginger in the rice). Plus, the place really is chill with good music and plenty of seating... it's not the usual midtown madhouse (just wish i actually had the time to sit not just grab take-out). Zack you rightly point out that they seem to be health conscious... with portion control, lower fat cuttings and even their default soy sauce packets are low sodium. So I don't understand why they don't consider brown rice for some of their dishes and sushi rolls? oh jeeze, my comments here are way too objective and professional... let me fix that.. i'm also a big fan of the cashier girls and all their lovely latin flava' ;> Again Yushi is scoring points in my book.

Considering that there's a national systematic massacre of genetically altered chicken raised in confined space every minute, butchering a duck sounds like a total sin. Yummy fried chicken, but duck is even better, like Fred says, go try it out! The rolls are great. But the rice was bland:(, though it did the job of stuffing me up.

This is why this duck appears to have a largely intact skeletal structure rather than being flattened like a pancake. Second, in the city, the feathers are removed before cooking. You may want to try that sometime. well sure, DocChuck – in the city, ducks that are crushed on the road under the wheels of passing vehicles dont get eaten.

I thought the duck was excellent, and the portion size of duck+rice was perfect, but almost TOO much rice. And I thought the rice was tasty, a nice compliment to the meal. It's 4pm and I am STILL borderline uncomfortably full. Sure as hell beats going to Peking Duck House on 53rd. Disappointed we're switching offices to the west side and I won't be able to go again :( The fried rice was not amazing, but was perfectly edible- which is good, because you’ll have to eat all of it to even feel close to full.
