Plan review paperwork submitted by Hong Hot Pot Lakeland LLC shows a new Chen\u2019s Duck and Dumplings opening at 5125 S Florida Ave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn Beijing, Peking duck is a flavor that flows through time,\u201d says the Chen\u2019s Duck & Dumplings website<\/a>. \u201cFrom secret imperial recipes once safeguarded in the royal kitchens, to the smoky warmth drifting from hidden hutongs, it has always embodied the Chinese devotion to food\u2014an insistence on patience, craft, and respect. That devotion eventually crossed the ocean with Mr. Chen, landing in Tampa, Florida.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Chen\u2019s menu features Traditional Dishes like Chili Wontons, Scallion Pancakes, and Osmanthus Glazed Spare Ribs. There are also plenty of noodle dishes, ranging from Lanzhou Beef Noodle Soup to Chicken Stir-Fry noodles, plus Soup Dumplings served in varieties like Chicken, Crab Meat & Pork, and Black Truffle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Opening in the Florida Avenue South location, Chen\u2019s Duck & Dumplings will join a food and beverage community that includes nearby restaurants like Metro Diner, Outback Steakhouse, and Chicken Salad Chick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Brandon location features both the Chen\u2019s Duck & Dumplings brand and the Hong Hot Pot brand together. Here, Chen\u2019s Duck & Dumplings appears to be replacing Hong Hot Pot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
