i agree with this. the cbd location (a bit tough to find for first-timers; in a hutong between kerry and trader's) is one of the select few chinese restaurants in china that i actually like. in fact, i've brought several fters there. aside from the nice food, it is clean, and boasts a much better atmosphere than any of the famous duck places. note: it is not a duck restaurant (home style cooking), but their duck is quite good.
