I came here for my Birthday and it was certainly a mistake! The most aggregious problem--- the "house made pancake" was a freaking tortilla!!!! Having been to Bejing and having had a truly amazing and authentic Peking Duck experience, I was expecting a nostalgic treat and was left with sub par general's Tao's chicken and duck burritos. Additionally the waiter seemed perpetually irritated by the presence of customers. He was not friendly, didn't explain which dishes were which and the entrees were not easily desernible and not good. The one less dim spot was that the duck tasted good. Finally, there was absolutely no pomp or circumstance. I didn't even know that the duck came out until one of the aforementioned duck burritos were haphazardly set in front of my face. Long story short: avoid at all costs!!!!!!
