Peking Duck is well-known. I tried it in a small Beijing restaurant and it is not that good. Maybe the resturant was busy at the time because I was with a tour group. The tour guide mentioned that in future Peking Duck can only be prepared by licensed cook because it is a chinese national dish.

Thanks to tourist industry in China. Beijing Roast Duck is good, but not that good as your guide said that can only be cooked by licenced cooks. Beijing duck is not so popular outside Beijing, people may feel it too greasy and tasteless, eating Beijing duck with a flour-made piece as thin as paper rolling with sauce and shallot is good, but that good due large to the flavor of sauce and shallot, so the duck is expensive, but the sauce and shallots are extremely expensive.

I have to say it's good and cater to my norther stomach very much, but eat the duck without sauce and shallots, NO WAY!

Beijing duck as national dish, the guide was so interesting. What about Lanzhou Beef Noodles, Shanxi Sliced noodles, Sichuan Dandan Noodles, etc, etc? Many of the restaurants have a history as long as or even longer than Quanjude. Are they entitled to be national dishes, too?

I don't think Beijing Duck is a national dish!!!It is only popular in Beijing,maybe you can call it Beijing dish!!!

Quanjude is the best restaurant for cooking it!But it is so expensive~~~~~~

I love roast duck ! it tastes great !But I dunno whether they are in the same taste in Beijing and Xi'an :(

Maybe you should try it again in a famous restaurant , it won't disappoint you unless you eat it too much -- it would be greasy

I love Beijing Kao Ya. It is one of my favourites because of the crispy skin, shallots and sauce all rolled into the little thin 'pancake'.

Dan dan Mien is another of my favourites too although it can be a little hot !!!!!!! but it is great street food.

the quality of a lot of these dishes varies depending on the restaurants.
