"Ji Rong is a San Gabriel Valley staple that specializes in traditional Peking duck served with thin pancakes, shredded green onion, julienned cucumber, and hoisin sauce. The duck skin is sliced thinly over a layer of fatty and tender duck meat. The bones are all removed, making it easy for diners to make their wraps. There are no walk-ins for Peking duck; make sure to call ahead and reserve one at least an hour and a half to two hours ahead. Although the Peking duck is the star dish, mapo tofu, stewed pork belly, kung pao chicken, and lamb skewers are also standout options." - Kristie Hang

"If you want traditional peking duck in the SGV, it doesn’t get more classic than Ji Rong. The $85 spread at this casual sit-down spot in Rosemead includes sides of shredded cucumber and green onions, sweet bean sauce, and a basket of flaky pancakes. There’s also a separate plate with the duck’s crispy legs, too. The main event is a show-stopping mini-mountain of meat surrounded by glistening strips of crisp skin. Duck is a testy dish, but the one here is a model of consistency. Just be sure you call 75 minutes ahead of time to get one. " - brant cox, sylvio martins, nikko duren

Reserved a table for 9 for noon on a Saturday and was told that we had to hit a $400/minimum spend with a 2 hour max eating time limit. No problem. We arrived and were promptly seated even though our whole party hadn't arrived which was great. I called in 3 ducks when I made the reservation 2 days before we ate. The peking duck is the highlight and the main reason I come to Ji Rong. The meat is always moist and the skin is ultra crispy. Unlike other places, they separate the skin from the meat. The honey walnut shrimp is a close second favorite. The jumbo shrimp are lightly battered and not overdone. The garlic snow on choy can get pricey depending on market price but we always order nonetheless. The baked pumpkin with egg yolk is usually a hit but was too oily and soggy this time around. The house special pancake is a perfect base for soaking up all the flavors. The orange chicken, Shanghai spareribs, and sweet & sour fish aren't notable but nice extras to have. Service always starts out well and goes downhill as the meal goes on but it's because they're not paying as close attention once you have all your food. Parking is tight and hard to get in both of the side lots since the plaza shares with a lot of other high traffic restaurants.

Great Peking Duck! It's hard to find it with an affordable price. This restaurant also has great watermelon juice, $14 for the whole jug. Nice customer service. Recommended to come early at 11 AM when they just open!

I've heard many positive reviews about this restaurant, but it didn't meet my expectations. Their renowned duck is remarkably expensive at nearly $86, plus the duck soup comes in at a price of around $16. It's necessary to make a reservation to order this type of dish. First, the duck was satisfactory. They cook/fry their duck skins so you can detect their thickening and melting quality upon eating them. This dish came with some crepes (approximately 8 pcs). However, we prefer buns instead. The soup, on the other hand, was rather disappointing. It resembles a cabbage and tofu soup without any meat, more akin to pig stomach pepper soup if some of you have tried it before. Their walnut shrimps are disappointing. They resemble a foreigner restaurant where they fried their shrimps and topped them with some Mayonise. This is not typical of a Chinese restaurant. Despite having quite some waiters and waitresses, the service isn't particularly good. We have to request orders and fill up our waters ourselves. Their seafood noodle and boiled fish are quite satisfactory. The flavor is exceptional, however, there's a noticeable amount of wok hei in the dish. Apart from that, their duck appears to be rather expensive, we might not go for their duck again rather trying out other dishes there

Another chinese food with great taste called "Ji rong Peking Duck". You need to que to get the table. They have about 4 tables for privates, but for this you got to make order min $400. Today me and my family 8 person spend around $250++. Our order are : definitely wont skip the Roasted Pekong Duck, sweet & Sour Fish Fillet, Dice kung pao beef, pork chow mein, sauteed shrimp, crab meat and Maw fish soup, shredded pork and scallion with pancakes, spareribs in shanghai style, rices, chinese tea. They so tasty and yummy, no wonder peoples are willing to que to eat at this restaurant.

Celebrating my birthday here today was an absolute delight! The service was impeccable, and the emotional support provided by one of the staff members was truly heartwarming—she brought so much positive energy and made the experience even more special. The roast duck was hands down the best in Los Angeles, perfectly crispy and flavorful, while the stir-fried dishes stood out for their freshness and vibrant flavors. This is an amazing restaurant that I would highly recommend!

Everyone comes here for the peking duck. You must reserve in advance to make sure they will have one. It really is very good. I also got the meat pie, pulled pancake, and spicy cabbage. It reminds me of my grandma's cooking, especially the meat pie. Place is large and service was fast and good.

Perfect restaurant for Peking Duck! Recommend that you make a rez and order in advance. We didn’t get a chance so we called and the guy said if we get there soon, a table and the duck will be available. When we got there, we were told it was a 30-minute wait and the duck was guaranteed. It only took them about 10 minutes and we were called right away. Duck was good, fresh, and arrived fast! Service was amazing and Max, the host in the front, is the best! The rest of the food came fast and everything was good. More comments posted with the photos. Bathroom was clean and parking was ample. We didn’t know the entrance was along Valley Blvd. so we got lost! 🤣 Will definitely go back for the Peking Duck!

Not sure why so many people recommended this restaurant. We pre ordered the pecking duck- it is “one whole duck for $85” however the duck came and definitely that is more like half of a duck. What a scam! It came with 12 pieces of pancake which is obviously not enough……. Typically restaurant would give more than that. I asked the manager she said it is already 12 pieces that’s little? And then walked away. We waited at least 20 minutes for someone to realize we didn’t get any tea or water. The duck quality is low, the duck is tasteless, very thin and not much meat. Typically it will have a more oily layer and more meat.
