"This classic SGV spot specializes in Chinese Imperial cuisine, or food cooked for royalty—a.k.a. you on your birthday. The roast duck—which has to be reserved two days in advance—is one of our favorite versions in the city and presented with a big flourish tableside (a birthday dinner win-win.) There are other tremendous, family-style dishes as well like crispy shrimp and honey pepper beef if you’re not the pre-ordering type. And if you’re looking for an extra regal experience, book a table in one of their five private dining rooms." - brant cox
