My go-to used to be Koon Lok until they closed down
It's closer to Canto style BBQ duck.
It was never great. But it was consistently acceptable enough given that the other dishes we liked (milk balls, tofu pork croquettes, pork ribs were all very good).


Thinking Koon Bo would be similar, it sort of was,
but a not-so-great version of what I used to get at Koon Lok.


Red Star had nice skin, but the meat was bland.
Not enough 5 spice,
Not quite on the verge of what I call dry, but it sure as hell wasn't juicy.


also, as for your suggestion with Yu Ki,
Do they actually roast the duck for crispy skin, or aim for a more juicy meat ala BBQ duck?
My guess is they just pull a BBQ duck from the front window.
I've had their duck before the new owner. I wonder if it's had a massive improvement.
