Why Princess Garden Should Be Your Next Group Dining Destination

Recently, I ventured into Princess Garden, a spot that's been a staple in Kansas City for decades. Despite mixed reviews, my curiosity was piqued by tales of their legendary Peking Duck and an extensive, 11-page menu promising a culinary adventure. The restaurant, with its charming if slightly worn decor, sets a nostalgic scene reminiscent of classic Chinese eateries.

The Peking Duck was a highlight, served with housemade Mandarin pancakes and plum sauce that beautifully complemented the crackling skin. Other duck preparations, like the crispy orange duck, were equally delightful, offering a savory twist with spiced orange sauce. The experience was made even better by the attentive and humorous staff, who navigated us through the menu's vast offerings.

While some dishes like the Mapo Tofu didn't hit the mark for me, being overly sweet, the overall dining experience was enjoyable. The ambiance and the sheer variety of dishes make Princess Garden a must-visit for those looking to explore traditional Chinese cuisine with a twist. It's a place I'd recommend for a group outing, where the joy of sharing food adds to the experience.
