moment the dish arrived, the aroma was mouthwatering, filled with the rich scent of roasted spices. The skin of the duck was perfectly crispy, offering a satisfying crunch with every bite. It wasn’t greasy at all, which made it even more enjoyable. The meat underneath was tender and juicy, clearly cooked to perfection. Each slice was easy to cut and had just the right amount of fat to keep it moist without being overwhelming. The flavor profile was well-balanced, with a nice blend of smoky, sweet, and savory notes that lingered pleasantly on the palate.
What I appreciated most was the skillful roasting technique — the duck had a beautiful golden-brown color that made it look as good as it tasted. The seasoning was spot-on, complementing the natural flavors of the duck without overpowering them. The accompanying hoisin sauce added a sweet and tangy element that paired perfectly with the richness of the meat. I also liked the side of fresh scallions and cucumber that came with it, which added a refreshing crunch and helped balance the dish.

The portion size was generous, making it great for sharing with friends or family. Presentation-wise, the dish was served beautifully on a clean plate with thoughtful garnishes. The staff were helpful in explaining the best way to enjoy the duck, which made the experience even better. I found that the duck stayed flavorful even after a few minutes, showing that it was fresh and well-prepared.

Overall, the BBQ duck at Good Buddy is one of the best I’ve had in a long time, combining excellent texture, flavor, and presentation. It’s a must-try if you’re a fan of Chinese BBQ dishes or just looking for something special. The attention to detail in preparation really shows, and it’s clear the chefs take pride in their craft. I’m already planning to go back and order it again. Whether you’re dining in or getting takeout, this BBQ duck won’t disappoint. It’s definitely a highlight on the menu and worth recommending to others.

Used to come here with my family as a kid and enjoyed it every time. After being away for a long time I found the service was absolute garbage. After explaining to the server that I was ordering extra to take home I was shamed for ordering too much food and had to persuade to allow me to order what I choose. Had to ask for chopsticks presumably because I don’t look Asian and was stereotyped as someone who doesn’t use chopsticks. Had to ask twice for water and when I didn’t leave a tip because of the lacklustre service I was shamed again for not leaving a tip. Don’t come here until they figure it out.

Bugs in the food and the fried pork chops noodle soup had no flavor, and after eating i got extremely sick

Worse customer service you can imagine! Even one star is too much for their food and customer service. Be aware! Bad food quality and gave me wrong order and accused me that I was wrong! Like I didn't know what I want to eat??? Never be back!

Very poor customer service and poor food quality Placed an order for pick up in person the lady who took my order told me will call when my order is ready and I waited over 25 min in my car outside the restaurant, noticed other couple made an order and waited inside and I was watching how they got their order and walked out then I went inside and noticed my food is packed on table ready to go and she didn’t bother to call. I told her you suppose to call and she cut me off and said that’s your food. I repeated again and got the same answer. I was mad and walked out with my food. When got home noticed wrong items on my order and missing parts of my order. I called the restaurant to complain and the man who answered the phone said he is busy and can’t deliver and few minutes later the lady who took my order called and is blaming me that I gave her wrong phone number and that’s what I ordered! I tried to explain I never ordered that soup and wanted different soups and I ordered two but I got one only and is not the soup that I ordered but she is trying to push back that I ordered this soup! What kind of business would Blair customer for their own mistake? And actually rude enough to call back not for apology but for fighting with you and blaming you?! Very disappointing and zero level customer service! Not to mention that the fried rice pack was in a puddle in bag and missed my spring rolls ! Will never be back and can’t trust this place anymore! My advice forget about this place as doesn’t exist.

I never write bad reviews especially in today's world as it affects business, but in this situation I would have them zero stars if I can. We do go to good buddy quite often and their food taste is decreasing significantly from the previous years. We took our parents out for dinner yesterday who are visiting from out of country. We ordered a bunch of stuff, a lot if which tasted so different (no flavour) but it was okay, we managed. They brought out the food and accidentally mixed ginger chicken with ginger beef (which they told us is ginger chicken while serving). We are Hindus and we don't eat beef for religious purposes. My dad and I had took couple bites already when the lady from the kitchen came out running and quickly took it away saying its ginger beef. We lost our appetite, and were quite upset especially my dad. We have never had beef before. I went upfront and told the manager, I told him that my dad is quite upset. He casually told me it's ok since you have eaten it already so its already done. I said it's not OK, we don't eat beef due to religious purposes. He said what do you want me to do. He was so casual about it and did not apologize at all, and told me its done what can you do. He was extremely disrespectful in understanding the severity of this matter. . I came back to the table and no one was in mood to eat at that point. He came a few minutes later and instead of apologizing, he made excuses saying it was pork not beef ( 2 of the staff confirmed that it was beef). My husband was quite upset with him as the manager said it's no problem, you guys will be fine. Like really buddy, you realize you are disrespecting someone's religion and insisted of apologizing you are making excuses, and making us feel bad about it. We packed our food and left. Not going to this restaurant again. I understand if there was a mistake betweenthe dishes. Atleast the manager should have made some effort to apologize rather than making us feel like we did something wrong and so casually tells us its no big deal.He took off 3 drinks from our bill. It was an awful experience.
