Description:

    Peking Duck has really excellent food.  The restaurant has a fairly
    extensive vegetarian menu (though remember to ask for the garlic
    eggplant without the pork), as well as the usual seafood, poultry and
    pork dishes.  The spicy dishes are less hot than Jing Jing.  Their
    specialty dish, Peking Duck, can often be had without notice.  Food
    intolerances are catered to just speak to the waitstaff upon ordering.  
    Most of the sauces have MSG, but the waitstaff can recommend dishes
    without MSG and sometimes the chef can make a sauce without the MSG.

    They handle the group I bring in monthly (25-30 people) with little
    trouble, and service is fairly quick.

    Entrees run about $8-12, with duck a bit higher.

    NB: Specify long table when making reservation, otherwise they
    will break group into smaller round tables.

	was huge, a total zoo.  You've been warned.  :-) ]
