What customers say?

“ What an experience for roasted duck that EVERYONE should try. I recommend making an appointment and going early to let them k ow you’re there. Once seated, you get to walk through the menu and choose your meal. Chat with the server because they possess infinitely more knowledge than the menu does. Once our food started arriving, the scents changed and it only made your palette water. The slicing of the duck next to the table was the MAIN EVENT because you got to see each part of the duck you were eating from. The man holding the duck was decisive and very precise with his cuts and placement of each piece on the plate to create the duck platter! Our server was so considerate because we had mentioned our shellfish allergy and she continued to help us throughout the meal. What an experience! I highly recommend it to any and everyone. You’ve never had duck like this before! ”

“ This restaurant is clearly doing great business. It’s crowded every day, whether it’s lunch or dinner. You must reserve in advance (at least 2 weeks ideally) to get a table. It’s our third time to this restaurant at our daughter’s request to celebrate her birthday. We booked a table for 11 and I didn’t know they had private rooms on the left of the entrance. It worked out great having 9 noisy kids in an enclosed and a more secluded part. I ordered 2 and a half ducks just to be sure that we had enough skins to go around. Quality was excellent as usual. Additionally, we had two orders of vegetables, soup, porridge and rice. Extra skins to go with the duck and everyone had a good fill. The birthday dessert was a yellow rubber duck made out from a steamed bao. The place got busy from the minute it opened and I did sense a level of stress in the staff but ultimately the service was a bit slower but fine with us. At the end we took home some skins and the leftover meat. They packed this nicely for us ”

“ Ordered a set for 2. So many things we wanted to try but were advised by their friendly staff that it may be too much for us. Behold! The portions were really huge. Service was top notched and the food hit the spot for both of us. Chicken balls were tangy and slight sweet, good taste. Duck was pretty good and the "popiah" skin were freshly made and springy. The beehoon duck soup surprised us as it was little peppery and very comfortable to have during a rainy day. Overall a good restaurant to try and very homely friendly staffs. ”
