Eating their roast duck was a wonderful surprise! The skin was crispy, the meat tender and flavorful, and every bite was pure bliss—not greasy at all. The side dishes and sauces were also authentic and complemented each other perfectly. The home-style dishes were also prepared with care, the flavors were authentic, and they were incredibly delicious with rice. You can't go wrong with any of the dishes you order. The restaurant was clean and tidy, making for a comfortable dining experience. The service was excellent, and the food came out quickly. Overall, a great experience. I'll definitely come again and recommend it to my friends!

A classic roast duck restaurant that’s been in LA for over 20 years. Whenever people talk about Peking duck, this is the place that comes to mind — perfect for both cravings and hosting friends. 🦆 Peking Duck (reserve in advance!) Crispy, glossy skin that’s not greasy, tender and juicy meat, and thicker chewy pancakes that add great texture. Wrapped with sweet bean sauce, scallions, and cucumber — absolutely delicious. We also ordered the sweet & sour crispy pork and pea shoots in broth. The pork was perfectly crispy with a nice sweet-tangy balance, and the pea shoots were light and refreshing — a great match with the duck. Prices have gone up, but it’s still worth visiting once in a while. Some restaurants aren’t just places to eat — they become part of your memories.

Most people think of Ji Rong Peking Duck in San Gabriel for the duck — but we went last week and didn’t even order it, and still had a great meal. Even on a weekday it was lively with family dinners and friend gatherings. Free parking is a plus. The salt-grilled Japanese wagyu was my favorite — lightly charred outside, buttery and tender inside, rich but not greasy. The aged wine braised pork belly was glossy, soft, and super flavorful (very dangerous with rice). We also loved the dry pot cured pork with king oyster mushrooms and the flavorful, perfectly spicy boiled fish. Would definitely come back.

One of the best Peking duck places in SGV. The skin has a unique texture and softness unlike any other. The meat is juicy and tender and flavorful. You can't go wrong with this Peking duck. Their scallops dish with vermicelli noodles and sliced cucumbers was also superb and so tender. It almost melted in my mouth! The pork belly dish was delectable and savory. And everyone loved the shrimp fried rice.

Came here after for the peking roasted duck, but don’t forget about other dishes! They are all amazing. 京酱肉丝 and 红烧肉 are my favorite. Very tasty! Great service too. Highly recommend!

It’s one of the local favorites. A very delicious and authentic Chinese restaurant. Please call a day ahead to reserve the Peking duck or you may not be able to get it. And make sure to order the Peking duck soup too. My other favorites are their cold dishes. The cold sesame sauce noodle is so good.

Craving an authentic taste of Old Beijing in LA? Ji Rong in Rosemead is hands-down my #1! 🏆 Every time I crave that glistening, crispy Peking Duck, this is my go-to spot. I unlocked a few "pro-level" food combos today that are so good, the chef deserves a medal! 🍗 🦆 【The Signature Peking Duck】 Always on point! The skin is incredibly crispy and the meat is tender and juicy. Pro tip: You MUST call at least an hour in advance to reserve your duck, or you’ll be waiting forever! 🥢 【The Soulmates: Northern Style Cold Skin Noodles + Special Shredded Pancake】 Don't just focus on the duck! These Cold Skin Noodles (Liangpi) are the ultimate palate cleanser. Drenched in a thick, creamy sesame sauce with a generous splash of aged black vinegar, every chilled bite is a refreshing explosion of flavor! But here’s the real kicker: You HAVE to order their Special Shredded Pancake! 🫓 The exterior is golden and so flaky it literally shatters at a touch. Try wrapping the sesame-soaked noodles inside the crispy pancake, or stuffing it with the Spicy Stir-fried Pork. That combo of "crispy, tender, sour, and spicy" is absolute perfection! 🔥 【The Rice Killer: Spicy Stir-fried Pork】 This dish is packed with wok-hei (breath of the wok)! The peppers are perfectly charred, and the pork slices are tender and flavorful. I’ve discovered that using the shredded pancake to sandwich the pork is the ultimate way to eat this—my "foodie IQ" is off the charts! 🌶️ 🧧 Important Update! Since I know I’ll be back here all the time, I was thrilled to find out they have a top-up promotion running until Lunar New Year! It’s a huge money-saver if you’re a regular. Time is running out on the deal, so grab this authentic taste of Beijing before the holiday rush! Don’t say I didn’t warn you~ 🏃‍♀️🏃

This restaurant has been around for at least 20 years. Back then, whenever people talked about getting Peking duck in this area, this was almost always the default choice. Over time, many of the old places we remembered quietly disappeared, but thankfully this one is still here. After we moved out of LA and later moved back, it once again became our first choice for getting together with friends. Without realizing it, we have accumulated so many everyday, happy memories here. **Peking Duck** Their Peking duck needs to be reserved in advance. Even on weekday lunches, the place can be completely full. We once tried to walk in and were told there was no duck left, which was honestly heartbreaking. The skin is rich and glossy without being greasy, and the meat stays tender rather than dry. I remember that years ago you could order half a duck, but now it is only available as a whole duck. The price has gone up compared to the past, but it is pretty much in line with other Peking duck spots in Los Angeles. I would recommend coming with a bigger group so it feels just right. **Five-Color Glass Noodles** This dish was a pleasant surprise. The sauce is really tasty, and the portion is surprisingly large. The glass noodles are very bouncy and refreshing. Among a table full of meat dishes, this is the kind of plate that everyone keeps reaching for. **Ji Rong Black Pork Stir-Fry** Lately I cannot live without spicy food. Even though we ordered mostly non-spicy dishes, I still wanted to try this one. The black pork has a great balance of lean and fat, fragrant but not oily. It works perfectly as a rice dish. Stir-fried pork really is a reliable choice. They also seem to run promotions from time to time. I missed the previous one, but this time the details are shown in the last photo, and it is time-limited. If you already love Peking duck, or have plans for group dinners or a Lunar New Year meal, I personally think the recharge option is quite worth it. It basically works out to at least a 10 percent discount.

My friend and I enjoyed a Christmas Eve day lunch. We were so excited to try the Peking Duck because we know this restaurant is famous for. We are not disappointed. It was the most delicious Peking duck we have had. The menu is presented in a beautiful booklet with photographs and descriptions. It's a good idea to make a reservation and also reserve a peking duck if that's what you want to enjoy. The restaurant had other offerings that were equally delicious. Because we were celebrating Christmas, we reserved a duck and also feasted. We definitely over ordered, but it was well worth it. The serving staff was really great and very attentive. And there is a big, free parking lot on the side of the restaurant.

Ji Rong has been my go-to for years — hands down the best roast duck in LA! 🦆 The skin is crispy like chips, the meat is tender and juicy, and wrapping it with scallions in a pancake is pure perfection. The new menu’s even better — stir-fried dishes now taste amazing too!
