"Its front may not look like much due to the bright orange tile and prominent sign advertising Mandarin cuisine, but you can relax knowing that this unassuming, time-honored Chinese staple is a favorite of culinary legend Cecilia Chiang. Inside, you'll find a warm and inviting décor, featuring white linens and a crimson carpet; this is the kind of space that lends itself well to group celebrations. Although there are many items on the bewildering menu, the friendly and knowledgeable wait staff is extremely helpful in pointing customers in the direction of the restaurant's signature dishes. The beautifully bronzed Peking duck, the slippery hand-cut noodles studded with savory moo shu pork and crunchy vegetables, and the meltingly tender Shanghai braised rib topped with a flutter of green onions are some of the standouts on the menu here."
