"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"
"Peking ducks must be reserved 75 minutes in advance, so it's best to call ahead for a reservation. If you do want to walk in, show up right when the restaurant opens. Ji Rong is incomplete without a pot of tea. Jasmine tea is a personal favorite, but chrysanthemum is ideal for those avoiding caffeine. On hot days, freshly blended watermelon juice tempers any spicy dishes."
Ji Rong in Rosemead specializes in a standout Peking duck alongside a robust roster of centerpiece dishes such as whole fried sweet and sour grouper. The Peking duck starts at $85 and can feed four; the crispy skin is separated from the meat and served with chun bing crepes, hoisin, green onion, and cucumbers for assembly. Menu highlights include cold chicken in spicy sauce, baked pumpkin with salted egg yolk, and mashed taro with gingko nut for dessert. Peking ducks require a 75-minute advance reservation; walk-ins should arrive at opening. Tea options and watermelon juice complement meals.
