Sun Wah BBQ

It is surprising to see such a big venue for roasted duck. Almost every table around us got the duck feast which consists three dishes made with duck, duck soup, duck fried rice and freshly cut duck with buns. It is not the traditional Beijing duck, if you are expecting crispy duck skin, it is not this one. For the best experience, you’d better call ahead to make a reservation and ask them prepare a whole duck for you. My favorite fish of the day is actually the egg yolk fried shrimp.

The restaurant is just one big room almost like a factory which is very fitting given the amount of ducks they are pumping out. We requested the Peking duck dinner beforehand and it seemed like everyone else had the same idea. We were a little overzealous and ordered some apps before the dinner. The egg rolls were massive and one of the better ones I’ve had with a crispy exterior and a tasty interior. The potstickers were also crispy but not as good. Onto the dinner, they carved the duck right in front of you which was a nice little show. The first thing that was ready was the duck and bao buns. We ordered an extra six which was well worth it. The bao was light and fluffy while the duck was tender, juicy, and flavorful. Sprinkling on some pickled onions, those duck baos were the star of the show. The duck soup came out next which was an afterthought with everything else we had. Finally, the duck fried rice came out which was good but didn’t contain too much duck. It’s nice that they repurpose the remaining duck into the soup and rice but all I needed was the craved duck and baos. Overall, this was a great experience and a fun night. Something unique with the Peking Duck dinner and super affordable (~$75 for the Peking Duck dinner).

The Peking Duck was out of this world! We had two people in our party and brought home leftovers for later. We arrived at 7:00 on Saturday and waited about 40 minutes, but it was definitely worth it!

Delighted as guest to a quacker 🦆off-menu specialty. Seated, welcomed, orders taken and service started immediately. Could barely keep track. Peking duck carved table side, w all sides fresh, 🦆fried rice, noodles and bbq pork. more. Eye 🍬 candy, mouth watering experience. Not a fancy place. More of a large fast paced family-style restaurant. Great for great dinner if in a hurry or take-out. Ample street and nearby parking. Can't wait for return trip to Chicago and repeat dinner w my daughter and future in-laws. Thk U Lydia and Seth.🤪🙂 Call ahead recommended. Staff geared to fast and courteous service. Give them a try soon.

We came here during weekend lunchtime for their famous 'Whole Peking Duck Dinner', including a roast duck (with buns), duck soup, and duck fried rice. Good things: It is a very rare experience which is super authentic, as the taste of the Peking duck and the way they serve the duck were both great! The service was great. We didn't wait for long and we saw how the whole duck was dissembled into pieces of skin-on meat right in front of us. The show was interesting and something you shouldn't miss if you are going for a Peking duck. The environment was nice, and it was not hard to find parking as there were paid street parking available. Downside: A large portion of the duck skin was overcooked and burnt so it tasted bitter, and the duck soup was too plain to us. The duck fried rice does not seem to be different from other types of fried rice you can get elsewhere. Summary: It is worth a try if you want to have Peking duck with authentic flavor and service in Chicago, but other associated dishes did not meet my expectation for the price I paid.
