Best Peking Duck: Wong Kee
I’m an avid Peking Duck eater. I’ve had it almost everywhere (name it and chances are, I’ve had it there). I love the Vietnamese version here at Wong Kee — the duck is so lean, there’s hardly any fat between the meat and the skin. Oh, and the skin– crispy, glossy, crispy. I love that there isn’t that Cantonese taste of five-spice powder (my mom and sister would so appreciate this). The meat is tender and has just the right amount of salt and spices. Pancakes (actually crepes) are the more traditional accompaniment but many places (including here) also use soft buns which I prefer. This is my current favorite. I could eat this everyday.
But no, it doesn’t stop there. The House fried rice is amazing. It’s garlicky and smoky, with lots of stir-fried roast pork and clumps of egg. Delicious. Seriously. Go. Now.

Just tried this place tonight with the family. Very good duck and fried rice. We also added the Crispy BBQ Pork which were also very good. Thanks for the tip!

Sorry but this place was horrible. They were out of chicken and fish. The Peking duck was not crispy and the skin was fatty. There was a bad smell in the place and in general I didn’t get a clean vibe. The beef dishes we ordered were hardly edible, except for one which was decent. My search for good Peking duck in Atlanta continues.
