Peking Duck

For the last few months, six of us have been trying to locate the best version of Peking Duck in Northern Virginia. Thus far, Mark’s Duck House (Arlington Blvd.) and Duck Chang’s (John Marr Drive) have failed to impress. Neither restaurant carves the duck in front of diners and at Duck House, the server even prepared the pancakes for us. Most of the Peking Duck fun, to our minds, is watching it being carved and then creating the perfect package of duck, duck skin, scallions and hoisin sauce. We do have memories of all that theater at Peking Gourmet (Route 7), but had grown tired of that dated crowded
dining room. Perhaps it’s time for a another try. Any suggestions out there?
