The glistening, golden brown Peking duck (also known as Beijing duck) at Chinese restaurant Ji Rong in Rosemead is one of the best in Los Angeles, but what makes this restaurant stand out further is its robust menu of other centerpiece dishes, like the whole fried sweet and sour grouper. This is a particularly great spot for large groups or family dinners out; it's smart to order more than you even think

The epic Peking duck has our critic planning a return visit - just make sure to pre-order The first time I ate at China Tang, soon after it opened earlier this year, I arrived late, and by the time I got settled, there were already a lot of opinions. Rather than assume my default bossy mode, instructing people what they should and should not order, I demurred and went along with their choices, which included rather too much fifth quarter for my liking.

The Peking duck at Yúe Gē has become the restaurant's signature dish, presented beautifully after being carved tableside, showcasing high-end Cantonese dining.
