    I booked for a table of 11 through the online system. Very efficient and got a confirmation almost right away. We ordered 2 Peking ducks and they were cut up in front of us very professionally and nicely. The duck soup was also amazing and rich in flavour. Service from wait staff is really really good. They were courteous and attentive. We had kids dining with us and they made sure the kids cutleries and chairs were catered for.

    Been here a few times now and absolutely love it! Plus my picky Chinese friends said it's one of the most authentic, long standing name for Peking Duck. Legit! The duck frame then being roasted with salt pepper, super tasty and creative for a 'by product'. The seafood soup (with abalone, sea cucumber...) is my go to every time. If you love broth based you gotta try it. It is so so good. Also enjoy the lamb, snake beans very much. Last, very important, i thought it would be way more expensive for the location and interior but the price is reasonable. You could have walked in any other cheap looking restaurant and spent nearly the same. (about 60-80pp + drink, amount of food is generous)

    Food was good. Service was ok. Toilets were a big big let down. So dirty and the water didn’t work. None of taps to wash your hands were working. Ran out of some wines. Ran out of desserts. My god!!

    Best peking duck I’ve had! Chef carves the duck at your table when it’s not too busy. Get the salt and pepper duck frame instead of the soup! Also tried the Special Fried Rice, Sweet & Sour Deep Fried Pork Ribs and they were great too! Such a gorgeous dining area, staff are very polite and helpful too. Can be busy on weekends so booking recommended. 📷 Whole Peking duck set, Steamed, Japanese Scallops with Garlic and Vermicelli Special Fried Rice, Sweet & Sour Deep Fried Pork Ribs

    We arrived at noon but door was still locked. I've had to call the restaurant for someone to open the door for us. We were the only table until we left but food took a long time to come out. The waitress explained that usually they serve the roast duck before everything else hence the delay. We then requested for other dishes to be served first as we have an appointment after lunch. The food was good and service was ok. Not cheap but for the quality of food you are getting it's worth the money.

    Hard to find any faults on the night we dined here. Quanjude is know for its Peking Duck, and I’ve had a lot of good ones - happy to add this restaurant to that list! They prepare it 3 ways - crispy skin on its own with salt, Peking duck pancakes, then the bones in either a soup or a dry salt rub. We also had the tofu seafood hotpot (lots of abalone, scallops and mussels), and the incredible ‘squirrel fish’ type dish, of a whole coral trout with sweet vinegar sauce. Ambience and service was fantastic too. One negative was the alcohol - a G&T barely had any gin in it, and a mojito was… interesting. Stick with the teas, beers and wines perhaps

    It has been 5 years since I first time came here. A traditional Chinese Beijing Cuisine restaurant. Unfortunately they already changed their menu. Peking duck is good, especially the sauce, very nice, but it is not fresh baked, this kept in a warm container, so the taste is just so so, but I do not want to ask too much, this state still could be one of the top in Australia. This cabbage 🥬 really normal, the taste of cabbage is just the taste of cabbage, not the taste mixed with the stock. I am a bit disappointed ☹️ . I give 4 stars for this traditional restaurant still in open and good service. I hope Quanjude could be better taste in the future.

    Quanjude is a famous restaurant in China, highly recommend by the local, though I haven’t had chance to dine in the one in Beijing. Having said that, this is the best peiking duck restaurant Melbourne has to offer and the taste is really close to those I have had in China

    Great Peking Duck! Service was particularly delightful as well, with the waiter preemptively refilling our teacups and accompaniments as we dined.

    Great Experience here! Celebrated my birthday here with my girlfriend. Staff were accommodating and always checked in on how our food was and if we needed anything. The Beijing Peking Duck was phenomenal . I highly recommend coming here for dinner for a special occasion.

    A wonderful service and food. Crispy Peking duck on outside.. not to fattening and delicate soft cooked meat inside.

    This location feels so different compared to other ones. 5 star environment & service. Dishes are more like Asian Fusion, but not traditional Beijing food. Duck is great, authentic. Best one in Melbourne, no doubt.

    First impression entering front door, was not inviting. Service, food and settings are average. Whole restaurant needs updating, definitely. There are many good restaurants charging similar price around Melbourne CBD.

    Nice open environment with traditional Chinese setting, however ambience was a bit awkward due to quiet service. Food was good and the pancakes for the Peking duck was delicious. Only improvement can be made was on service as it was pretty much a one man show. The waiter was very lovely and accommodating, however he was overwhelmed with serving about 8 customers all on his own. It was difficult to get his attention at times, but he was all on his own. Perhaps they have issues with staffing. Would have given 5 stars if service wasn't an issue.

    Succulent Peking duck! Really enjoyed the flavour. Customer service was great too.

  • 5/5 Winnie Nguyen T. 1 year ago on Google
    I think this restaurant is way underrated. The pekking ducks are very tasty (probably one of the best peeking duck restaurants I have been to in Melbourne), their Supreme golden soup is delicious. Great services. Staff are very kind and helpful. Nice atmosphere, nice decoration. Price is not much higher than other pekking ducks in other suburbs (actually quite reasonably with the quality). Although I enjoyed the quietness while eating with my family, I think they deserve better rating and should have higher recognition.
