DaDong will opens its first overseas branch in New York on Monday, aiming to serve roast Peking duck as authentic as what’s offered in its restaurants in China. Dong, the founder, chef and owner of the celebrated DaDong chain in China, is getting ready to open an outpost in New York on Monday. He wants to make sure the Peking duck served in Manhattan is as authentic as that in his 11 restaurants in China. DaDong New York also mirrors the interior decor of DaDong in Beijing, which adopts modern techniques to show the mood of Chinese ink and wash painting. "The traditional Chinese Beijing food is what DaDong represents; hopefully, we will educate the New York clientele to understand it with a New York-style service to help them enjoy the traditional Chinese food as well as enjoy the environment in New York," said Andy Xu, the executive chef of DaDong New York branch, who has worked for such esteemed New York kitchens as Cru.
