A friend brought us to this restaurant address in the Wanchai District to taste some peking duck. The restaurant got filled up with mostly foreigners.
I never expected that a place called American Restaurant could serve good Chinese food. Back in 2010, the Hong Kong Tatler rated the American Peking Restaurant as among the Top 5 restaurants for peking duck:
"A local landmark that's been around for nearly 50 years, ignore the misleading name originally coined to lure sailors into the restaurant back in the day. Even now, this establishment attracts a more international crowd than a local one."
One popular dish is the sizzling jumbo prawns. The sauce is sweet and a little spicy. The prawns are served on a sizzling plate much like the way American steak is served.
