Destination for modern Peking duck and creative dim sum with serious cocktails; excellent food but pricey and paced fast at peak times.
Decoy delivers exceptional food quality anchored by celebrated Peking duck and inventive cocktails, with attentive, personable service that elevates the experience.

One caveat: Pricing is genuinely high (duck dinner $115 pp) and dumpling portions are small
