Bianyifang

Bianyifang is a prominent and renowned brand that has been in existence for over 600 years, although it may not be as well-known as Quanjude Peking duck restaurant today. This restaurant is famous for its ancient roasting method, which uses a closed oven instead of fruit-wood flames to roast the meat, resulting in juicier meat and softer skin. Additionally, Bianyifang has further improved its roasting technique to include stuffing vegetables into the duck body and swapping the traditional accompaniments for Chinese toona sprouts, radish sprouts, and peanut leaves.

it taste pretty much same everywhere (but prepare for thread filled with people recommending Quanjude or Bianyifang just because those are famous brands, it's like saying McD has best hamburgers in US), only difference is how fancy is the enviroment and how much they overcharge you for this. if you ask me it's completely overrated dish fancied by people who were not eating duck every other weekend like me in Europe, only difference is sweet soybean sauce and pancakes compared to european roasted duck
