南京盐水鸭 / Nanjing Duck House

If you are looking for authenticity of Nanjing Salted Duck, this is the place. The restaurant features a delicacy that you can not find in other restaurants. You should always pair the duck with a noodle soup as the salty flavor compliments it super well. The turkey served in a similar fashion also has great flavor which is hard to achieve considering that turkey generally is dry. The people are always down to chat so don't be afraid to start a conversation with them

I brought my duck because he needs a place to live. he’s a very messy roommate and I think he should have his own house so I walked into this place hoping they could find me a house for the duck. They took one look at them and they smiled and they said indeed we can find a place for him, but then they wouldn’t show me any of the houses. They just wanted me to leave the duck. I got a creepy feeling and then I left. I don’t think they have any duck houses. They look like they would eat my duck.

This restaurant is not big, but the food is so tasty. The most popular item is salted duck. Lots of the customer call in to order first, because the salty duck always sold out before 6pm.

The most authentic Nanjing Salty Duck, I have bought from this restaurant for years! The old owner was from Nanjing and the recipe was from the most famous duck restaurant in that region, but sadly after Covid they only provided take out service, it still the same quality even after the new owner took over the store! Their duck were purchased from different state, less fat and more tender meet, and the cutting skill kept the way it should be, each piece is thinner and neat!

The restaurant is ran by a lady genuinely from Nanjing. I can tell by her way of speaking Chinese. The salted duck is great. She has a lot of pride in her duck recipe.
