I can't speak for the Peking Duck, but New Fortune in Gaithersburg (Walnut
Hill Plaza), which apparently is the largest restaurant in the whole county
(in terms of seating capacity when all the dinibg rooms are open), generally
has fabulous BBQ type duck in their dim sum and I would imagine their Peking
Duck might be a winner, as well.  Full Kee and Paul Kee in Wheaton, despite
particularly unfriendly service, may be good bets as well, since these are
among the more authentic Chinese in the area.  I would guess there are a
number of places actually in Rockville that have fine Peking duck too, but I
won't venture a guess as to which ones they are.
