"This strip mall restaurant on 82nd typically draws fans for its roast pork and char siu, hanging from the case near the front of the restaurant; however, my partner and I almost always come in and order the roast duck. It’s available in a noodle soup or over rice, but we tend to order it on its own, simply served alongside a house plum sauce. The duck is perhaps the juiciest we’ve encountered; the fat isn’t completely rendered, but is certainly silken, and the skin has a nice crackle to it. The five spice comes through without overpowering the flavor of the meat, and the glaze brings out the duck’s sweetness. And, if I remember correctly, we didn’t spend more than $20 on it. Easily the best bang for your buck on this list." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
