Ji Rong Peking Duck

Jirong Restaurant is my go-to spot for Peking duck in LA — I’ve been coming here since 2012 and the taste has never changed! Their Peking Duck is a must (call ahead to reserve!), perfectly crispy skin with rich sauce and fresh veggies to wrap. The hand-grabbed pancake is freshly made, flaky, and delicious even on its own. Also love the colorful cold noodles with sesame and mustard sauce — super refreshing. Always busy, but service is fast and friendly. Highly recommend!

Overall, all dishes were very very flavorful...& savory just keep in that mind and can be especially spicy if you bite into a seed in the stir fry dishes. The Peking Duck skin was crispy, meat is tender, toppings were noticeably fresh. The honey walnut shrimp is a standout dish. We got a table with the dividers during weekday which required a minimum spend. Attentive service, staff was proactively checking that all the dishes were arriving and changing clean plates, napkins, refills.

The perking duck here was pretty yummy. And the rest of other dishes as well. We didn’t mind the far drive for good food. Total recommended. Plenty of parking but if you happen to come in the weekend it can be packed and you have to drive around to look for parking

This was on par with the best Peking duck I've had in Beijing. Everything about this Peking Duck meal was impeccable, and the Black Fungus with Chinese Yam side dish paired very nicely with the main dish. The only thing that would have made this experience even more perfect would have been if they carved the duck at the table in front of us. But still, 5/5 stars.

Worth every penny. The most amazing Peking duck I have ever eaten. We also got the garlic pea pod tips, which was also perfectly done. The restaurant is clean and the service very good.

Reasonable prices, yummy foods with beautiful presentation. Staffs were very helpful and quick to respond to questions and requests. Offered to replace clean dining plates when needed. All of us who went eat together agreed that we will definitely go back to eat here again.

food is really good, obviously known for their peking duck. I was expecting it to be a traditional type of duck where there’s meat and skin attached but no, they have the skin and meat off separately which was surprising. overall it was really good

We came here for the duck and it did not disappoint—of all the places we’ve tried in North America, it js the most similar to what we had in Beijing—fresh, crispy and umami. Service also exceeded expectations, with the wait staff coming by multiple times to deliver fresh plates and napkins without being prompted

Finally went to Ji Rong Peking Duck now Peking Duck $85. I honestly was like, wait that's the whole duck? Where are the head, wings, everything else. It was delicious regardless but omg so small and expensive. I wish they had bigger. The skin is so crispy and eating with the thin pancake is interesting, unlike eating with the white buns. 4/5 Broccoli stir-fried with salted fish. My friend thought that the fishy smell was strong. The dish uses salted fermented fish so yes, it is strong if you don't know how to eat the fish. But I like it because it is crispy and garlicky. 5/5 Shrimp fried rice is a basic shrimp fried rice, nothing extraordinary. There were around 5 shrimp. The rice was cooked dry, not wet which I like. 4/5 Overall I will come back because the duck is so delicious. I just wish the price is cheaper and the duck is bigger.

I came here for my birthday. A table for 11 I think. They wanted us to spend $400 min. That was way too much food for us, and we took 3 bags of leftovers home. I think the min spend needs to be lower... I'd prob choose a diff place next time if I had a big party. Reserve a time that's earlier than wedding times for guaranteed parking. The food was actually really good. My Asian mom would say it's not salty (regarding the duck).

If you like fatty, crispy, melty peking duck, then you better get Ji Rong order of it cause I'm not sharing any with you. The line can get crazy long if you come without reservations, so either make a resy or come early. Either way, you're in for a good time. So first things first, get their Peking duck. Enough said. It's crispy, it's fatty, it's melting, it's pure bliss. Anything else you order after that is fair game. My group went with some snow peas, scallion pancake, and kung pao chicken and yep, each was simply delicious. So I'll keep things short and simple, this place is popping and for good reason.

Made reservations for 10 on a Sunday at noon, pre order a peking duck. Minimum that needed to be spent for a party of 10 is $400. My favorite dishes were Peking duck, the pancake that came with it was thin and soft, you add the duck, cucumbers, green onions and a dash of hoisin sauce. Almost looks like a taco. Shanghai style spareribs is soo good, has a slight sweet taste and just goes so well with the ribs. Hot and spicy cabbage, I don't think it was spicy but the flavor is soo good and tasty. Everyone at the table was impress by how simple a vegetable can be and so good. House pancake didn't have much flavor but it was flakey and crispy. Add a little sauce from the food your eating and it should be good. Honey walnut shrimp, I don't know how I feel about breaded shrimp and some mayo on top of it. The presentation is nice but it did NOT taste like a honey walnut shrimp Pan Fried Lamb chop was good and didn't taste very gamey. Mapo tofu had a nice spice to it and it was easy to eat. Jellyfish was chewy and had flavor. Service was fast once we got someone to take our order. Overall great experience and we were able to try out some dishes we normally wouldn't

Ji Rong has been my family to go restaurant since young, we would visit the restaurant almost once per week. Our family's review for the restaurant is that their food remind us of home (high review for Chinese families), but the service is horrible. Ever since we moved to another city, we haven't been there for around 9 years. The food quality and taste remains as before. House Special Pancake: The pancake is not as crispy as before and it's more oily than before. My family and I agree that it seems to be pre-made and then reheated. Black Fungus with Chinese Yam: Great combo of the Chinese yam and black fungus. It's a common dish, but Ji Rong made it well. It is not overly salty or oily. It's not commonly found in most Chinese restaurants in the state, so definitely recommend it. Baked Pumpkin with Egg Yolk: Pumpkin is nicely coated with egg yolks, nice balanced of flavor. However, it can get greasy after eating too much, so it's a great dish to be shared by a large party size. Cold Chicken with Spicy Sauce: The hot sauce is spicy, but not fragrant enough. More like straight spicy. Not the best Cold Chicken with spicy sauce in town. Sauteed Special Mushroom: This dish is still the same as before, the taste did not change at all! Highly recommend this, it is flavorful. The portion of this dish is nice. Mixed Vegetables Platter: In my memory, this dish is made with green beans with scrambled eggs, black fungus and cilantro. But it came with potatoes. Still a nice mix to pair with the pancakes that came with it. Another common dish, but not a must order choice (unless you like potatoes) Our family is not into roasted duck, so we didn't order it this time. Compared to before their service improved a lot, but still not the best (typical Asian restaurant service). If you want to try authentic Chinese food (other than canto style) then Ji Rong is a great choice. FYI, the restaurant is VERY busy, so you must go a few minutes before the restaurant open to make sure you can get a table without a reservation (to make a reservation, duck is required to be order).

We met an old friend here for Lunar New Years dinner. I have to start off in saying the parking situation is just horrible here. We spent 30 minutes looking for parking and ended up 3 blocks away. Now that I got that off my chest we started our meal with some delicious Hot and Sour soup. It was a tad more sour than hot. The Duck was really good. We ate the crispy skin first wrapped in a thin crepe like wrapper with some julienned cucumber, scallions, and hoisin sauce. We also had the Kung Pao Beef and it was flavor bomb! Very good! The food more than made up for parking ordeal.

I struggled deciding if this is 3 or 4 stars. Food wise, it's.... fine. Mid to better than mid. Basically, good enough. Authentic enough. But is it the best in the amazing SGV area? No. Is it something I am gonna miss and come back for? No. It's fine, acceptable, just nothing amazing and faces tough competition in LA when it comes to ranking tastiest Chinese food. Came here for CNY lunch. Pricing is acceptable. About $250 for the spread which in this economy is decent. Service was fast, and as good as it gets at a traditional Chinese joint. Waiter acknowledged me, seated us quickly, noted our res, had my reserved Peking duck immediately, had simple smiles - not bad honestly for a spot like this! Helps if you know Mandarin, of course, but they spoke English too. Note:*** make sure you call ahead to reserve a duck if you want it, or they might run out if you walk in when busy. I think the reason why I find it so mid is cuz they're supposed to be specialized in duck but the duck really fell flat for me. I've just had way better duck is all. Had to douse it in hoisin to enjoy it and that's not how duck should be. Duck - 6/10. Just fine. I've had better. For a flagship item this is gonna get rated tough. Greens and century egg - not bad, greens are very fresh. Scallop and garlic and vermicelli - 7.5/10. They are decent, just also I've had better, and vermicelli was clumpy already when delivered to the table. Crab and black fungus - i did not expect this to be vinegary and sour. Took me out. Was expecting a different flavor profile so I didn't care too much for it personally. 7/10 Flat meat pie - amazing. This should be the flagship item lmao 10/10 Buns with meat and diced bean - 10/10, also done perfectly Salted egg pumpkin - not crispy enough! Disappointing. 7/10 Roti - terrible. I really expected something buttery and soft and amazing. Got bland, hardened, meh instead. 5/10

We used to go to Ji Rong Peking Duck more often but haven't been there after the Pandemic. They increased the price a lot and the food quality was not up to our expectations. We pre-ordered the whole roasted Peking Duck at around noon time and made a reservation for a table of 5 of us at around 5 p.m. (you need to pre-order the duck at least 75 minutes in advance) We ordered the following: Roasted Peking Duck ($85.98) including the pancakes, scallion & cucumber Freshly made Mango Juice x 3 ($10.74) Stewed Pork Belly ($23.98) Sea Cucumber with Vegetable ($14.98) Rice ($3) For the Roasted Peking Duck (The main dish), as you can see in my photo, the duck skin color was not up to my expectation and it was not roasted into a vibrant color and they were not cut into thin slices. We could see a lot of fat underneath the skin. The sauce was okay and the pancakes were pretty thin but the portion was small. (We tried a lot of Peking Duck places and of course, we've had better). If you want to have duck soup, you can order an additional $15.98 for it. Duck meat was mediocre on the drier side, the portion shrank a lot and we didn't feel like it was a whole duck. For the Stewed Pork Belly, the sauce was very flavorful and delicious. The first few bites of the pork belly were tender but then we also had a few very chewy pieces. The portion was so small. Sea Cucumber with Vegetable, the presentation looked nice but we did not like the taste and texture. They need to improve the service as well. We were a little disappointed because their Peking duck used to be better. Oh well.

My family has been coming to Ji Rong for years, every year around the holidays after visiting Rose Hills. We always get the duck and an assortment of other items (cumin lamb skewers, pork belly, house pancake, mapo tofu, XLB, etc.) My parents love the flavors and the service here. The portions are decent and (as a large family), we always get a variety of foods. Because of that, I'm just going to briefly touch on the foods I like. I love the Peking duck with pancakes (instead of Bao's) is a favorite. If I have the choice between pancakes or Bao's, I'll choose pancakes any day (a lot easier to wrap and they hold more). The lamb skewers are juicy and crispy, the house pancakes are fluffy and flakey (and a substitute for white rice when eating meaty dishes). I can't say I've ever had anything bad here but I do suggest coming here (or getting takeout) as a large group so you can get a variety of foods. Parking is pretty easy too as there are parking lots on BOTH sides of the restaurant.

The highlight, of course, was the peking duck. The thiiiiiiick and crispy skin captures the Beijing duck style. The spicy steamed fish was another standout dish, and as spicy food is the focus here, the bold flavors pair perfectly with bowls of rice! A pleasant surprise was the flaky spiral pancake that my friends really wanted. The natural design adds to a simple decor for a polished feel. We appreciated how accommodating the English service was for my group. We booked a private room for a family birthday, and there was a minimum order requirement. And when we ordered the staff was super helpful in getting us there!

If you're coming on weekend, make sure you make a reservation! Great selection of food. We ordered 6 dishes and they ALL good, very tasty, served fast.

We came here for a delayed lunar new year celebration. We ordered the signature Peking duck, walnut shrimp, black pepper beef, shredded pork with pancakes, pea sprouts, xiao long bao and the jua bin. We have a party of 5 and we're stuffed with leftover. The food came promptly and the service was attentive. This was a great feast and everyone enjoyed the meal. Ji Rong has a casual vibe and plenty of parking at the lot. Great food and we will come back again!

We used to order the pecking duck for pick up during Covid. We went back a few times post covid but the Peking duck wasn't as good, the portions shrank and the price increased so much. Also, the service is horrible so it was quite disappointing. But they do take reservations, can call and make a reservation and make sure to reserve a Peking duck if you want to try it.

This place does not disappoint! I had dinner here this past Saturday night for Chinese New Year dinner with family. A reservation was required as was very crowded and in demand this past weekend. Food was great! One of my favorite places to get Peking duck tacos. The skin is always so crispy! I also really liked their garlic shrimp and lamb chops, bother were very well seasoned. And also the jellyfish went really well with the beef platter. Service was very quick and waiters were very attentive to replace plates, give napkins, and pour tea when needed. Overall ambiance was very crowded on a Saturday night as expected, so make sure to make a reservation as walk ins may be a very long wait!

Loved their food! Ordered peking duck, the bun wasn't a bun at all which was interesting; they served tortilla instead! That was off-putting (lol) but not enough to shave off a star. Parking was not an issues, the resto is located in between parking lots so there should be more than enough. Service was good, nothing extra ordinary; vibe was decent. I would come back, i would love to try their other dishes too.

I had high hopes for this place. It was so highly rated and we couldn't get a reservation for dinner last weekend. All the signs seem to point to this being the real deal. I was pretty disappointed, to say the least. I got the famous Peking duck as takeout, added the soup, and ordered two more dishes- the walnut shrimp and black pepper filet mignon cubes. The duck was $86, and the skin was nice and crispy, which was the sole reason this is a 2-star review instead of 1-star. However, the amount of duck meat given with the order did not add up to a whole duck and seemed half-a-duck at most. The soup was considered an additional order and cost $16 extra, and had a few floating pieces of napa cabbage and tofu. For close to $100 for duck, I was completely underwhelmed. The walnut shrimp dish consisted of 5 pieces of small glazed walnuts and shrimps encased in such a thick layer of breading, it feels like you are getting the frozen deep-fried shrimps from a diner. The filet mignon cubes looked appealing, being the most appropriate serving size of the three dishes, but unfortunately were overdone and tasted sinewy. Overall, after spending a whopping $150+ on take out, plus gas and time, I am sorry to report that this place does not live up to reputation for us. The hype was way more than substance.

We wanted Peking duck authentic style and presentation, and glad to have tried Ji Rong. Advised on the phone about a line forming an hour before dinner opening and we got in line 45 min before. Restaurant staffs came to ask each party waiting if they wanted Peking duck, as quantities are limited. Once seated service is good and quick. Menu came with photos and would like to try many other dishes next time. Parking is easy strip mall and well lit at night. Security present at door. Duck was delicious and overall experience was excellent.

We finally tried the Peking Duck here and I must say I was a bit disappointed. It tasted dry. The wrap provided was not enough and if you want more, you have to pay extra. Overall not as good as I expected. The dishes that I like the most is actually the spicy pig stomach. It was flavorful and spicy! The pancake is always a favorite for me. The lobster was decent but not anything I can't get elsewhere. We got a tilapia fish which was steamed well and tasty but we were too full to enjoy this. The taro dessert was good. We got a table for 9 people and had to get the big table in the private booth which requires spending $400. We kinda force ourselves to order a lot of food and couldn't finish. Perhaps getting too much food made the experience less enjoyable.

Dude. Woh. The duck. Everything about the duck was phenomenal; the sauce and the skin and the pancake tortilla thing all paired so well together. When I ran out of duck I tried using some of the chicken we ordered but it wasn't the same. The duck was great, but the rest of the food was just fine. The lúc lắc was eh, frog was super spicy and the chow menu was just fine. The restaurant is nice and clean and service was great! I'll totally be back just for the duck.

Highly recommend calling ahead of time to reserve but also if you're willing to get there at opening and are getting duck for sure - you have a good chance to be seated Food was great - loved the Peking duck and sautéed special mushrooms. Kiwi juice is also recommended to help with the fattiness of the duck. One duck is good for around 3 people. Service is great and the restaurant size isn't too large. It's super clean and they work very efficiently. Nothing super fancy but could be a good spot for a meal with family or a more casual date.

Call ahead for the Peking duck. Great restaurant with a proper Peking duck option (not roast duck). Service was attentive and far better than expected. The interior is loud and lively. Portions are great and large for the pricing and great to share.

The BEST Peking Duck in town. One duck is about $85+ per order. Must order in advance. One of the best roasted ducks I've had in a long time. Grade: A- Fish Maw & Crab soup: C- Pork and garlic sauce: B Steamed garlic shrimp: A Spicy chicken appetizers/. B Service is really good. Attentive servers and food comes out quickly.

Ji Rong serves the best Peking duck I've ever tasted--I dare say it's even better than Mott 32! There's something about how juicy and flavorful it is, with the perfect crispy skin that just melts in your mouth. Absolutely top-tier. Our food came out fairly quickly, and the service was smooth and efficient. It's also a great spot for family-style meals, with generous portions and plenty of classic dishes to share. If you're a fan of Peking duck, this place is a must-visit!

Ji Rong lives up to name and prepared us some of the best Peking duck I've had in a while! My family and I decided to try this restaurant for our Christmas weekend dinner. It was very easy to call ahead and make a reservation for our group. We also pre-ordered one Peking duck ($85), which was enough for the five of us to share. The duck was clearly the star of the show, with thin crispy layers of skin and juicy pieces of meat. I loved that it came with condiments to dress up the duck including green onion, cucumber, and hoisin sauce. In addition to the duck, we also tried the scallops (pass), steamed fish, spicy cabbage, crab maw soup, and hainan chicken. My second favorite dish was the spicy cabbage -- it was hearty, spicy, and super flavorful. I would definitely come back to try some of their Szechuan dishes!

My family and I stumbled upon this place on one of our outings and we are so glad we did! Service, cleanliness and food is always 5 stars! It's family style and you wouldn't guess it from the price but the portions are massive! Everything is good but the MUST tray is the Duck and the Spicy Chicken which is their version of Kung Pao chicken but better! It's located in a crowded plaza so parking can be tough. There's also street parking available

Ji Rong Peking Duck delivers a well-executed Peking duck experience, though it doesn't quite reach the caliber of top spots in New York or San Francisco. The duck itself was tender and flavorful, with a light, crispy skin that showcased proper roasting technique. The knife work was precise, ensuring each slice was evenly cut and well-presented. While enjoyable, it lacked the depth of flavor found in some of the more renowned Peking duck establishments. However, the salted egg yolk pumpkin was a standout -- one of the best in California. Perfectly coated and fried to a crisp yet delicate texture, it was rich, savory, and incredibly well-balanced. For those seeking a solid Peking duck with exceptional side dishes, Ji Rong is a great choice. While it may not surpass the best in NY or SF, it remains a strong contender for quality duck in Southern California.

Came here on New Year's Eve with my parents. Didn't have a reservation so I had to put our names down, and we were able to get in within an hour. Regarding food, here were the stand outs -pork knuckles/pork feet, which were five out of five, Amazing! A little spicy, but great flavor, and just perfectly tender. -sweet, hot wood ear dessert with Taro. This was absolutely outstanding! A perfectly balanced, not overly sweet dessert. Definitely appeals to the Asian taste buds, but provides that refreshing, sweet finished the meal. We are really hoping to get the sweet-and-sour fried fish, but unfortunately, they were out of it. We ended up getting the steamed whole tilapia, which was decent, four out of five, but I honestly think that this is because tilapia just isn't that tasty of a fish eaten whole and steamed Also got the fried tofu with Wood ear, four out of five, pretty good flavor and decent texture Overall, service was very good, another five out five experience. We actually had our plates changed multiple times during our done experience, which is pretty outstanding for a Chinese restaurant! Definitely was a classy touch. Will definitely be back, if we have a larger party, we'll get the duck next time, and I really want to try that sweet-and-sour fried fish! Hope they don't run out before we try next time!

The flagship dish Peking Duck only so so, do not order, might be disappointed, other items on the menu ok, service ok

We had a great family dinner the other night. We ordered too much lol but it was a celebratory dinner! Make sure to also order the Peking Duck when you make reservations. Six Item Appetizer Combo - this was huge! The jelly fish was probably the best I've had in a while, just a bit spicy, it was perfect. The other items were okay. Peking Duck - the star of the night and signature dish of the restaurant. It comes with the special crispy duck skin, a pile of duck meat, thin pancakes (I haven't had these in so long), Hoisin sauce, cucumbers and green onions. The initial order comes with 12 thin pancakes, but it is never enough. Additional side order is $6. The thin pancakes are Northern Chinese cuisine and are delicate to not distract from the duck. Crispy Walnut Shrimp - the presentation is elegant, the large shrimp are carefully placed and sauced. It was one of the better tasting dishes. The walnuts were sweet and delicious. Chicken Chow Mein - this was pretty good. We had to order something the picky littles would eat. Pea Sprouts - it was pretty good Kung Pao Chicken - the flavors were really good Black pepper Beef - pretty yum House Special Bread - love this! And it's so fun to eat. You pull from the middle and it uncurls. The taste would be similar to green onion pancakes without the green onions. Crab meat and Fish maw soup - it was good Service was very good throughout. The restaurant is pretty modern and open. The main door to the restaurant is located on Valley Blvd facing the street with big windows. Parking is convenient but can be very busy as there are many other busy restaurants in the same shared space. Definitely recommended.

The best Peking duck in SGV! The skin is crispy and flavorful. You need to eat it with the wrapper & add all the condiments. Presentation was a hit. It was $85 for a whole duck. Best to order 1-2 days in advance to secure a duck and reserve a table. Other items that were pretty good was the one choy (very garlicky, delicious), walnut shrimp (very crispy), xiao long bao (according to the kids, they were fire!), mapo tofu (spicy with a hint of the numbing spice), fried pumpkin w/ salted egg (not a fan of the salted egg but it was good because it was not overpowering), and fish maw soup with crab. Service was really good at a Chinese restaurant, very attentive. Except a crowd here which is why it's best to call ahead to reserve.

Overall this spot is good to try once but is not worth the price. I would rather go to a regular Cantonese bbq for duck. The duck is not like anything in Beijing. I feel that the duck is already premade and precut as they did not cut it in front of you and the duck came within a couple minutes of ordering. For the price for what it is I feel that it is not worth it. I did enjoy the glass noodles which was different and tasty. The ambiance of this spot is more like a classier Chinese restaurant. I would recommend folks give this a try for their own opinions

This place is the best duck, crispiest skin! It's noisy inside and service is classic gruff but they do refill your tea and check on you. We made a 7pm reservation and they expectedly really wanted us to leave when they closed at 830, but we lingered as we finished our tea and it was ok! The house pancake is very fun and flakey but hard to share. Walnut shrimp is extra deep fried and yummy!

This place is knows for their Peking ducks and preorder is a must for the signature duck. It's dish come with crispy skin and boneless meat to be wrapped in a light tortilla Other dishes are bold and favorable We were seated in a sectional off for private party Service is ok.

Food was fantastic and service was top notch. We had a private room and the restaurant required a minimum of $400 worth of food and boy did we order food. We had two of the duck orders, multiple veggie dishes, soup, and probably one of the best walnut shrimps I've ever eaten. There were a couple of misses - the morning glory and boneless duck feet were just ok. There was a hiccup - the crab/fish maw soup was lacking flavor. We brought it to the attention of our waiter who immediately took it back. He went to the kitchen and discovered the chef forgot to add salt to the soup so they remade the soup and when it was brought back, he said "if this one is not to your liking we will take it off the bill" - words never spoken by a Chinese restaurant employee ever! So not only did they address the hiccup with tact and promptness, they made sure we were satisfied. Our whole party was very pleased with how it was handled. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and really appreciated the service. We will definitely be coming back!

They are the Icon in Peking Duck presentation, flavor, texture and taste! Once you experience this Culinary journey, everyone is Ok.

What We Ordered: -Roasted Peking Duck $85.98 -Diced Top Sirloin with Black Pepper Sauce $22.98 -Crispy Walnut Shrimp $17.98 -Pig Stomach with Celery & Chili $18.98 -Baked Pumpkin with Egg Yolk $12.98 -House Special Pancake $7.58 -2 Orders of Lamb Skewer (3) $15.16 -Steamed Mini Buns $12.98 -Seafood Chow Mein $10.58 My general rule of thumb is to order any dish that has to do with a name of a restaurant. If a restaurant has Peking duck in their name. Don't come here and order everything, but duck. You must order the Duck. I wasn't a fan of the Crispy Walnut Shrimp. It tasted very americanized. Didn't taste like the style of crispy walnut shrimp that you would get in China. Pass. The diced top sirloin with black pepper sauce was also not good. Pass Baked Pumpkin with Egg Yolk was a fan favorite at our table. We really liked it! My mother-in-law tried her best to recreate this at home. Don't tell her! I like Ji Rong's version better than hers. Order this! Pig stomach is not something I like. I won't render a decision because I'm biased against this dish. House special pancake was pretty good. I would order it. The lamb skewers were not good. Skip! The seafood Chow Mein was pretty good. I would order it again. Order it! Steamed Mini Buns were not bad. Overall, we would eat here again, but we would order less dishes. We would probably stick to eating the duck here. Pro Tip: Must order the duck 75 minutes in advance. No exceptions!

I've seen this spot go viral as the best peking duck in LA county so I had high expectations, but I thought their Peking duck was just okay and expected more because of the high price. Even though the skin is usually the best part, I wish they cut the pieces to include more meat on them. We also tried their version of honey walnut shrimp, which was fried in a thick batter instead of the traditional way. This thickness made it harder to taste the actual shrimp, but the sauce was good.

I'm a skeptic, my son told me that this is his favorite Peking Duck restaurant and I thought I have over 55 years of eating Peking Duck and we'll see if his taste and judgment is correct. Especially take out. Well I ate 6 servings of wrapped duck and must admit he's right. It's great but probably not good for you since I ate six when I normally eat one or two from banquets. The duck skins are extra crispy as if roasted, skinned and deboned and skins fried separately again. So crunchy. Remember to get an extra order of wrappers. The duck is delivered in a pizza sized box, meat skins, scallion, wrappers, and hoisin sauce - one duck easily serves six people. Also had an order of Stewed Pork Belly (pass on this item and get the Twice Cooked pork instead) and the Five Delights with Glass Noodles (we liked this but it's an acquired taste as you can mix it with Chinese mustard sauce which many don't like). Definitely the best Peking Duck in my lifetime.

I ordered a roast duck for takeout from Jirong today, but the portion I received was far less than expected--barely one-third of what it should be. I am very familiar with roast duck portions, and what I received felt more like a quail than a proper roast duck

First and foremost, call to make a reservation for a duck! I think I would say I'm pretty picky with my duck and they make it pretty good here. It's for sure the best duck in SoCal. They also serve it with the tortilla, which I feel like is rare in the states. Service wasn't bad here, but parking sucks. There's some street parking and 2 parking lots on each side of the building but there are also other popular restaurants nearby. Good luck.

I love their Peking duck! They come with the thin pancakes instead of baos here. I don't recommend their mango juice. It's overly sweet and doesn't taste like fresh mango even though the waiter kept saying it was. Def make a reservation. You can book a week in advance.

Came here on a weekend and got lucky because a table that just opened up. We ordered crab meat and fish maw soup, sliced beef and ox tongue in chili sauce, honey crispy walnut shrimp, and cold chicken with spicy sauce. The soup was very flavorful, and it had enough crab and fish maw in it. As for the sliced beef and ox tongue, it was very chewy and delicious. It wasn't personally spicy for me but it does have a kick to it. The crispy walnut shrimp had enough flavor as there was a good amount of mayo on the top. The batter was quite thin and crispy but considering how it's also a walnut dish, I was expecting more. Lastly, the cold chicken with spicy sauce was quite delicious as well. The chicken was cooked well, and it was quite tender. The sauce did have a kick to it, but it was doable. Other than that, I would love to be back and try their roasted duck since that's what they're known for.

I can't believe I haven't write a review for Ji Rong Peking Duck considering the amount of times I went. The latest visit was on Mother's Day. I called to make a reservation, but they are not taking any reservation unless you are willing to spend a minimum of $400 for the private room. I said no thank you and came an hour before opening instead. By 10:45am, the line was very long. Although they are busy, I never had any issue with service. I really enjoy Peking Duck and always order extra pancakes. I can't say I love duck soup, which you can order as an add on. I don't think all the dishes here are a winner. It took some time for me to figure out what's good and not here. So far I really like stir-fried hot & spicy cabbage and steamed shrimp with diced garlic. Plenty of parking spaces in two parking lots on both sides available but since it's busy, you might not be able to find a space. Traffic is also bad during peak hours.

I went here on a work lunch to celebrate. I was excited to try this place with all the rave about it as well as the positive reviews I have heard from friends. Food Can't deny the quality of the dishes are up there. With the famous Peking duck, it lived up to its name. This was one of the first places where I've seen them using a thin wrap rather than a typical steamed bun for the dish. The crunch of the skin was *chef's kiss* Service Sadly, this was the part where it made the experience not the best. We came on a Friday early afternoon. The restaurant was not half full. Maybe even 1/8th. Not sure if it was because they were short staffed or because we were placed in a corner of the restaurant where they did not have the best view of our party. The party in the next private area had some trouble flagging down the servers as well. It was probably at least 5 minutes when we tried to call for some refills on waters and condiments. Ambiance It is a nicely decorated restaurant. Very wide seating area. I did not really keep a close eye on much on the surrounding. I can say that the presentation of the food was very nice. Parking Parking for the most part is easily unless there is an event going on at 888. There is some street side parking but it gets tightly packed by other cars. With it being a high traffic area, sometimes it is pretty nerve wrecking trying to drive out if you have a shorter car. Otherwise, plenty of parking space mid day for sure.

/)/) ( . .) ( づ the Peking duck came in a small portion. A little disappointing but still juicy meat. Still a bit overpriced... Walnut shrimp was good. The beef chow mein was very well flavored. My fav was the beef in pepper sauce. The house special pancake had no flavor and was very dry. Wouldn't recommend. All in all the food came out pretty fast! Idk if it's Chinese food in general or if it's this place or maybe it's just me but everything was very oily. People with sensitive stomachs should be careful here but I think that generally Chinese food is on the oilier side. The inside was also nice as well for a Chinese restaurant!

We had Peking duck, pretty good, nothing special, very expensive. I wouldn't order it again. Not worth the price. In other countries, Peking duck dish comes with soup, dishes made from the remaining of the duck, and it becomes a whole meal. Stir-fried Chinese broccoli with fried fish, was good, the fried fish was a bit hard. House spicy oyster mushroom was good, only they had pork in it, which is not specified on the menu. My son warned me there's pork when he ate it. I don't eat pork that's why. The mushroom dish was good. Beef pepper steak was good as well. Tea cost $8 a pot. That's pretty costly. Service is good. The place is clean. You will have to call them a day in advance to order the Peking duck and reservation.

Tasty and slightly elevated Chinese eatery- perfect for a nice family dinner or special occasion. Of course we had to order the duck and, yes, worth it. The skin was crispy and all the fixings ready for the perfect roll. While I usually like the traditional plain bao with duck, the thin flour wrap actually accentuated the duck flavor. We also ordered the steamed fish- delish but spicy(!); stir fry broccoli- the bits of salty fish and plus; stir fry tofu with fungus- tasty and pepper steak- just okay.

While this place is known for Peking Duck, their other dishes are just as good. Everything here is Chinese cuisine but more considered. The flavors are very well balanced through and through. I especially like that the lamb skewers are large (I believe they're 2 skewers per order) and they trimmed a lot of excess fat and gristle, which is unlike the typical treatment of lamb skewers/lamb dishes at other restaurants. Though personally I prefer more homey tasting dishes in general, I would not hesitate to recommend this place whenever others are looking for high quality Chinese food.
