I recently discovered Fung Wong on Noriega - they make their own amazing roasted / bbq duck & pork. They’re a restaurant and their non-bbq food isn’t great. To me it’s a good sign that they are so focused on the bbq that nothing else matters. Anyway I’m only saying this because I’ve not had Peking duck there and they seem reasonably priced ($40) for it.

When I eat there, the majority of the staff pretend to not understand English and the clientele seem to speak to each other in a non-English language. Probably an Asian language. Anyway despite knowing that their non-bbq food isn’t great, I’m still going to next try their HK pan-fried noodles or their “beef stew” ( i call it low-nam in my poor Cantonese).
