I can’t say this is the best Peking duck — more like the Peking duck that lives down the street and is just good enough when I’m too lazy to drive further. The food is a solid three stars, the service is fine, nothing outstanding. I keep coming back though, mostly because it’s within walking distance. Sometimes it surprises me in a good way, other times I wonder if the chef is on vacation and left his cousin in charge.

What the duck? This place is so hit or miss. Some days it's delicious and everything is good. Other days it's absolutely terrible. Today our duck tasted like week old frozen duck, like cold metallic cardboard. It came out like 6 minutes after we ordered which was really suspicious. Through the glass kitchen window we could see whole cooked ducks just piled on top of each other in a plastic tub. It was no surprise my gf got food poisoning and threw up later that night. The rest of the food, while decent, had zero seasoning. No salt, no pepper, nothing. And at this price point, its solid when it's good but really disappointing when it's not. Maybe they have different chefs depending on weekdays or weekends, who knows. The service was excellent.
Good service. Delicious food. Nice environment.

The food here is legit authentic chinese find dining. The duck is probably the best I’ve had around the world. The pork belly is to die for!

The furniture is in a horrible shape there (see pics) and it's very overpriced for what they serve. Only duck was fine but the other dish was mostly peanuts and not tasty at all. No napkins in the bathroom etc. And almost 100$ for a lunch for 2. Service was friendly but nothing special. I am not coming back.

Came here with a big party and ordered some signature dishes. We liked most of the dishes as they were flavorful and had good portion. The service was attentive. We enjoyed our meal.

I had lunch here with my husband and we couldn’t believe how delicious all of the food was. I ordered the ma po tofu which had the perfect amount of spiciness and the roast duck was cooked to perfection and not greasy at all. Can’t wait to come back.

Came here for lunch on a Saturday and there was no wait. We ordered the half Meizhou roast duck ($49.99), A choy ($17.99), and braised pork with brown sauce and bamboo shoots ($26.99). The Peking duck was not the best I've had. It was thinly sliced, but didn't have much meat. The meat wasn't noticeably tender or flavorful, and the skin wasn't noticeably crispy. There was a heater underneath the plate to keep the duck warm so that was interesting. They gave us thin pancakes instead of the traditional buns, so I wasn’t a fan of the pancakes either. For the price, I expected the Peking duck to be mindblowingly good. The braised pork was solid, but not the most tender. The A choy was good and not too salty. Ambiance is nice and service is good. They filled our water frequently throughout the meal. Overall, I wasn't impressed by the food here.

Amazing food and service as always! We ordered roasted duck, bamboo shoots, cold noodles with chicken, garlic vermicelli pot with shrimp. Our server’s recommendation was on point and everything was delicious.

Our go to spot for Chinese food in the area - the spicy chicken is crispy and savory and the wok fried green beans are seasoned perfectly

This is an incredibly authentic Sichuan restaurant! We used to eat at this chain often when we were living in China, where they have many locations. We were so surprised and excited to find one here in Irvine! The service is warm and welcoming, and the flavors are just as authentic as we remembered from China. Highly recommend trying it out — make sure to order the Peking Duck, Mapo Tofu, and Bang Bang Chicken. They may look spicy, but they are actually rich in flavor and absolutely delicious!

Nice place, very good service. Foods are bad and expensive: the dishes we ordered were too salty, the roast duck is bland if you want Peking duck you'd better go somewhere else.

Our go-to restaurant for years. Tasty food, prompt and efficient service in a comfortable ambiance. Best to book as it is usually busy most of the time
