  • Traditional Roast Peking Duck

    Multiple dates available
    Peking duck is a dish from Beijing that has been prepared since the Imperial era. The meat is characterized by its thin, crispy skin, with authentic versions of the dish serving mostly the skin and little meat, sliced in front of the diners by the cook. The meat is eaten with spring onion, hawthorn jelly, cucumber and sweet bean sauce with pancakes rolled around the fillings. The carved duck (鸭架) – the remainder of the roast duck, with choice cuts removed – can be cooked in two ways. 1. The traditional way is in a broth with ingredients such as Chinese cabbage and tofu. 2. The carved duck can also be chopped and stir-fried in salt and pepper style. $78.88/Each 1 duck comes with each reservation

    Bugs flying all over the food. Management is not able to do anything about the bugs. Minimum requirements for a restaurant is to be clean and sanitary. This restaurant does not meet the minimum. Do not come.

    We booked our spot thru Open Table by selecting “ experience” type including a Roasted Duck on a neither lunch nor dinner time. When we arrived, we were told there is no roasted duck served for this reservation. We all came from South Bay and were excited for this roasted duck, but so frustrated that being told there is no duck along with Experience type booking which was supposed to be included 1 roasted duck when we booked. I used to booked thru Open Table same way and was told that no need to give a call to confirm because the type of “experience reservation” is included a duck. That is why I did not put any notes for a duck in this reservation. It is so ridiculous experience for us at all. Why wouldn’t we book a regular time for our lunch here because we wanted to make sure we have a roasted duck experience reservation as the 1:45pm is the earliest time that serves a roasted duck according to Open Table. Now there is no kind of reservation on their page which is good to not confuse customers.

    Generally it is good. But, if you want to order the roasted duck, you must make a reservation ahead of time.

    This is the best Chinese restaurant I have eaten at in many years. Fabulous menu. Great Peking duck. Terrible wine list. the place was very crowded and quite noisy.

    Been there several times. Still didn’t manage to try the Peking duck since I do not have a large party to share. Service and food are good so far. Probably the only impressive place to host guests in the Palo Alto neighborhood.
