The Oriental Gourmet

The Oriental Gourmet serves really good duck, seriously. For years, my only exposure to Chinese duck dishes were only in the form of bbq duck legs or Peking ducks. I've never seen duck braised, mixed with soy sauce, or served in a soup, and boy did I miss out! This place has them all! They are always moist and tender, and even if the flavor is not something you may personally enjoy, you won't be able to deny that they really know how to prepare their duck meats.

This place also has specials that seem to change often, which is great because you'll never run out of new things to discover. Of course, for this you'd need to be somewhat conversant in Mandarin, Cantonese, or Chiu Chow. However I found that the servers generally speak English quite adequately, if not great, and that's really all you need. Also, if you're looking for something a bit more soothing, try their wide assortment of noodle soups (in particular, the fish and preserved egg noodle). Beware: this place is jam-packed during weekend mealtimes.
