We've posted on Peking Duck Forest Peking Duck Forest before, but it was over a year ago, back when we didn't always have a camera with us. You deserve some visuals so, here's our dinner from last night. What stands out about this restaurant is that you can get real Chinese food with service. At most authentic Chinese restaurants, Lon has to ask for ice water 3 times, and you can't make special requests or substitutions. Here, where they have a mix of Chinese and non-Chinese clientele, ice water is always served, wet naps are provided, and the owner remembered that Lon didn't want mushrooms in the dishes.
As the name hints at, they do Peking Duck.
Lettuce Wraps, which are a mix of pork, shrimp, pine nuts, and other stuff, held in a cup of lettuce, is also served table side. The mixture may not have been evenly mixed because my parents thought it was really salty and the rest of us didn't notice that.

nodoubtrules, the food in FH is very different. You won't get much Indian either, but Nick's Pizza and Danny Brown Bistro is stuff you can't get in Jackson Heights. |

Wow, this looks amazing. I love Peking Duck. But I have a question, are those wraps traditional. I thought the fluffy white buns was more common. Let me know... |

Manger La ville, The flat wraps are traditional for Peking Duck. The fluffy white buns are for another type of duck which is Cantonese. |
