Xiangmanlou Description

Xiang Man Lou is little-known among theexpat community, but many Beijingers say it has the best duck in town. The restaurant looks like a New York diner from the outside, and the booth seating by the window adds to that. However, Xiang serves traditional duck, with all the fixings, like pancakes (thin but with the chewy resistance that is key) and deliciously fresh accoutrements. At RMB118 for a whole bird (with condiments), it’s also a steal. Large portions of genuine, Shandong-style food are also available.
