Da Dong
Dong Zhenxiang's Peking duck group, whose Nanxincang flagship holds one Michelin star.
Crisp, non-greasy roast duck
Da Dong is the Peking duck restaurant group of chef Dong Zhenxiang in Beijing, whom Tatler Asia calls the godfather of roast duck. Its most exclusive branch, Gastro Esthetics DaDong in Nanxincang Business Tower, Dongcheng, holds one Michelin star in the MICHELIN Guide Beijing 2026.
According to Tatler Asia in June 2026, the crisp, non-greasy roast duck took shape around 2000 and has been refined over five generations: 22-day-old ducklings, with thinner fat beneath the skin, are dried in cold storage and roasted over a jujube-wood fire. At the flagship, the Michelin inspectors list pancake, cucumber, scallion, minced garlic and bean sauce among the condiments, and single out spiny sea cucumber from Japan, braised tableside.
