We ended up getting 2 of their <strong>Peking Duck Dinner for 6<\/strong> ($113.99). \u00a0It sounds a little strange to\u00a0have Peking Duck at a Korean restaurant, but apparently, the chef was trained in Beijing for the craft of making Peking BBQ Duck. I was curious and looking forward to the dining experience with Korean cuisine blending with Chinese.<\/p>\n<p>The Peking Duck Dinner includes the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Whole Peking Duck &#8211; Duck with Pancakes<\/li>\n<li>Korean BBQ Ribs<\/li>\n<li>Seafood Pancake<\/li>\n<li>Korean Dumplings, or Japchae (Pan Fried Sweet Potato Noodles), or Rice Sausage<\/li>\n<li>Duck Meat Hot Pot with Hand-cut Noodles, or Duck Meat Congee<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Like most of the Korean BBQ restaurants, the Banchan plates (small side dishes) were served before the main dishes came.

I wish the chef had shown us the whole duck before having it carved up. The chef carved the duck in the traditional Beijing style, with each slice with equal parts of skin and meat. \u00a0Peking Duck is a popular dish in a lot of Cantonese restaurants in Vancouver. But for the Cantonese style, the carved pieces are mostly just skin as they want the diners to taste the crispiness of the skin. \u00a0However, the duck  pieces here on the plate aren&#8217;t perfectly presented as a lot of skin was missing, and the color was not as vibrant as expected. The issue was with the duck skin because it was not crispy\u00a0enough, which was a little bit of a letdown for me.
