Though the restaurant is a showcase for all regions of Chinese cooking, including Szechuan and Hunan, the majority of the menu is Cantonese, from an excellent moo goo gai pan (a stir-fried chicken and vegetable dish) and sweet-and-sour pork to lobster. Other good choices are the "Imperial Pine Cone Fish" -- a crispy whole (deboned) snapper topped with sweet-and-sour sauce, and the Cantonese roast duckling. For a really memorable experience, try the three-course Peking duck dinner for two, which includes a duck-broth soup with cabbage, tasty fried duck skin rolled in pancakes, and stir-fried shredded duck with Chinese vegetables. The red-bean ice cream is a great finale to your meal. The distinctive building has a curved, yellow-tile roof with ornate carvings inspired by the Forbidden City.
