3 Restaurants to Try This Weekend in Los Angeles: August 15 | Eater LA

"When life feels in flux, I gravitate toward Ji Rong’s roast Beijing duck, a perfect grounding meal that has yet to disappoint me across dozens of visits. The duck is consistently great with lacquered, crispy skin and comes with paper-thin crepes painted with sweet and savory hoisin, fresh sliced cucumbers, and ribbons of green onion, making the experience extravagant and comforting at once. Though duck is the namesake, other hits keep me returning: battered pumpkin sprinkled with salted egg yolk, tongue-tingling spicy cold chicken, and sticky Shanghai-style spareribs." - Eater Staff
