King Duck Chinese BBQ

King Duck makes roasted meats crispy enough to concern a dentist - Review - Miami - The Infatuation

About half the space in this tiny Chinese restaurant is dedicated to glistening ducks and crispy slabs of golden pork hanging on hooks behind plexiglass. Consider this foreshadowing for the wonderful meal you’ll have here—or at home, since King Duck runs a very efficient takeout operation. Any platter or family meal combination can feed your household, thirteen cats, or just you for a solid three days. But let the siren song of the meat window guide you to the assorted barbecue platter or the excellent Peking duck. photo credit: Cleveland Jennings / @eatthecanvasllc Food Rundown Siu Mai Plump, chewy, and wrinkly as a South Beach elder who doesn’t believe in sunscreen—a fantastic warm-up plate. photo credit: Cleveland Jennings / @eatthecanvasllc Scallion Pancakes King Duck’s scallion pancakes are crisp, not too saturated with oil, and have defined, flaky layers. Pile some pork or duck on top and make a little open-faced sandwich. photo credit: Cleveland Jennings / @eatthecanvasllc Assorted BBQ Platter This segmented box comes with portions of roast duck, honey roast pork, and cubes of pork crispy enough to use as sandpaper. Picking a favorite is a fun game you can play with friends at home to distract them while you sneak in more bites. photo credit: Cleveland Jennings / @eatthecanvasllc Pickle Combo Your giant box of rich, fatty meats needs pickles like a marathon runner needs a baby cup of Gatorade every three miles. King Duck has a whole section of the menu dedicated to Cantonese pickles. Get the combination, which comes with cucumber, green papaya, and daikon. - Ryan Pfeffer
