    Had a Peking Duck banquet. The duck was juicy and crispy. The food was a little bit salty. Love the environment and atmosphere.

    Had to takeaway at level 3. But even then, living 45mins south of this restaurant, the signature peking duck dish and practically all other menu listed cantonese favorites, is still possibly the place I would confidently return to every time.

    A must visit; rivalled my duck experience in China. Our rule of thumb is 1 duck: 3 people and you’ll have room for dessert. Don’t forget to order at least a day in advance. There’s parking at the back but plenty on street too. Go for a stroll around the streets to walk off the food coma, there are some lovely houses in the neighbourhood.

    The restaurant is located on the corner of Jervois and Herne Bay Roads. They do have a small parking lot behind the building but we ended up parking on the street along Herne Bay Road. We came by for dinner and did book, which seems to be required since the place was packed. The tables were jammed together and they were all full, across the many rooms in the restaurant. The food is quite nice with standard Chinese options. The peckin duck was nice but I personally found it to have a bit too much meat. The second course with the lettuce wraps were nice. The fried cod and tofu were also nice. I did find the roast port a bit salty though. The best part is that they did have deep-fried ice cream for dessert and it wasn't bad. The batter was crispy but the ice cream did meld with the sponge. It is quite a nice place for really tasty Chinese food.

    You can have the Peking Duck, 1, 2 or 3 courses. The sesame pockets for the 2nd course is worth a try. This restaurant is famous for the duck, but I found the other dishes average. The deep fried squid and the prawns were very oily and heavily battered. The mix vegetable dish was overly salty, whereas the beef ho fan was bland. Chicken cashewnuts was ok. The tofu dish we ordered was very good and on par with others restaurants. Service was excellent and plentybof on street parking

    Nice dinner spot and sour all time favourite. Best duck you can get in Auckland and the sauce is one of the best. Highly recommend if you are a duck lover.

    One of the best roast duck I have, the two courses duck coat $75. The overall environment is old but keep in good condition. The staff are helpful and the food is gorgeous. The parking is in the back of restaurant so you want not miss it. The good place for family and friends. VH

    5 star for the Peking duck! Without the duck I would have rated 4/5. Good for large groups as well - we managed to get a table for 13 people (was a tight squeeze though).

    1. They renewed my concept of how little half a duck can be! Looks like quarter of a 🦆. And they charge $65 for that… really disappointed this time. 2. The beef in the stir fried rice noodles didn’t taste fresh at all

    A ground breaking experience that will be felt across oceans, he does not come to fill his stomach? Thus he must be here for thy soul to feast, when I walk into this building, I feel as though one day I will die in here… sword in hand as I defend my nation, my people, my peers, this building… from any foreign entity that tries to take it away. I thank the establishment , the owner and the staff, this is what truly makes my life, worth while, sword ready. ⚔️

    Must try to get there during lunch time!! Best food and service when people were not busy. Whole peking duck will be cooked slowly to get better quality!! Atmosphere is lovely if you like to sit in a hundred years old building.

    Had the "duck" themed dinner with few friends and all the dishes were very tasty. Decent priced and great service. Thank you.

    I've been here for nearly 15 years. Never had a bad experience. I noticed getting a bit tatty but always satisfied with the food.

  • 5/5 Olivia T. 10 months ago on Google
    Amazing food. Peking duck was so good - pre ordering necessary! Had the two course Peking duck and then three mains afterwards - good amount for six people. Service was efficient and super friendly; will definitely come again!

    My first time dining here and I was quite pleased with the standard of service and food. Menu is quite extensive and although some of the dishes we wanted wasn't available on the night there were still decent options to choose from. I didn't have much of a say in ordering but was happy with what my colleague did order for us. Happy to go back and love the BYO option as my preferred wine choice is never on the menu so this is a new favourite for me. Corkage is $8.00/bottle of wine.

    You don't come for the atmosphere that's for sure. You come for the food. And it's quite delicious. Must order the Peking duck Hotplate beef

    One of the worst meals out for over 10 years. Service was terrible. First dish arrived after 1 hour and sat for 20 mins as we had no plates or any other dishes. They seemed to take offense when we demanded they take back the disk as it had gone cold. Rice. Boiled rice. Was the last dish to arrive and only after we again asked. Will never go again. And dare i say that other customers of a different ethnicity got their food way faster and had way better service. Food, when they bothered to give us any, was pretty average. Don't waste your time. The hype around this place is rubbish.

    Delicious Peking Duck! Great for my date night with my man.

  • 4/5 Gimin Y. 1 year ago on Google
    I had 2 course meal and few other menus for side and the duck was really good, nice crust with juicy meat. The signature duck was good but the rest of the menu were not up to standard, the beef with vegetable were too salty and the deep fried beef were too sweet.

    We ordered a whole 1 course Peking duck and combination vegetables. The duck was delicious with crispy skin and the vegetables were yummy too. Perfectly fed 5 adults. They were so busy they forgot to serve the rice, so we had to request that near the end of the meal. But the rice was so delicious, we just ate it plain 🤣
