Cantonese roast duck, char siu, crispy pork belly, bao
"Like a cohesive no-skips album (looking at you, Rumours), each Chinese porcelain plate at Go Duck Yourself is slightly different, but they come together to make one gorgeous spread. The delicate blue and white floral patterns contrast with the glistening charsiu, roast duck, and mounds of sticky fried rice that land on your table. Each one has a distinct personality, but there's one flanked by adorable flower trios and teensy leaves that we have romantic feelings for." - julia chen 1
"It’s impossible to imagine how well the team at Go Duck Yourself packages their moist, sweet, crispy duck. The food arrives foil-wrapped just as it should be, reminiscent of fast food handed out the window. Nothing is soggy, nothing too dry, either. It’s spendy, but well worth the cost. Order the exquisite sesame balls, toasted seeds providing a lovely nuttiness." - Dianne de Guzman
"Some of the most exciting food in the city is coming out of Go Duck Yourself. The heirs to China Town’s historic Hing Lung moved the family business to Bernal, brought the family recipes with them, and turned things up a notch. The menu remains tight and everything is outstanding: sweet char siu with a nice char; juicy roast duck with the crispiest skin; and two sauces for dipping — one rich like gravy, the other tangy and reduced with meyer lemon and stonefruit. Chewy bao buns, thinly sliced scallions, and hoisin sauce play supporting roles to keep everything together. The Hing Lung family recipes remain in good hands and the price is right. This spot should be at the top of everyone’s list." - Matt Tillquist
"Go Duck Yourself is performing roast meat sorcery in Bernal Heights. Their platter of Cantonese-style duck arrives with skin so shimmery you can see your reflection, and it leaves a salty-fatty sheen on your lips after one bite. Also known as the summer’s hottest lip gloss." - ricky rodriguez, lani conway, julia chen 1, lani conway, julia chen 1, julia chen 1, ricky rodriguez, julia chen 1, lani conway, ricky rodriguez, ricky rodriguez, julia chen 1, ricky rodriguez, julia chen 1, lani conway, julia chen 1, ricky rodriguez
"It’s not just the duck that’s good here. All the Cantonese roast meats deserve their names on the awning. Seeing our reflection in the caramelized edge of the charred pork collar. Split the GDY Cantonese roast duck, pork collar, and crispy pork belly. Throw in a side of rice, bao, and garlicky greens to round things out. Meat, wordplay, and matching serving platters you’ll want to take home." - julia chen 1, ricky rodriguez, patrick wong, patrick wong, ricky rodriguez, ricky rodriguez, julia chen 1, julia chen 1, julia chen 1, julia chen 1, ricky rodriguez, julia chen 1, julia chen 1, ricky rodriguez, julia chen 1
