Service ignored our 3-year-old’s need for kids’ dinnerware—three requests later, we finally got it— literally throw the white plastic fork at us.

Fish was “fresh” from the freezer. Tastes like it’s made of flour.

Great and genuine and traditional Chinese food. This time we tried the kung pao and spicy beef. This is so good! Food comes out from the kitchen super fast. In general very good!

Perking duck 2/5
Salt and pepper duck bone 0/5 not eatable
Crispy shrimps 4/5
Cooked cabbage with pork 4/5
Rainbow skin 3/5

We came here for the perking duck. But we were disappointed. The skin was not very crispy, and the cuts were not lean.

Came here for dinner with my parents. Everything was tasty!

We had a reservation but were seated 45 minutes after the reservation time. The waiter made a mistake with our order/misheard our order and initially said that there was nothing they could do. They eventually gave us the soup that we wanted but charged us extra for their mistake.

Reserve the Peking duck ahead of time! Peking duck was made three ways and very delicious. The other food was also delicious, love the eggplant and pork!

Server was amazing - the owner seems to be a little rude to her staff so that was the worse part of the experience was totally unnecessarily to yell at the hardworking staff

We were told there would be a 30-minute wait for a table and that Beijing duck would take about 1.5 hours, which we were fine with. After waiting 50 minutes and finally being seated, we were told that the duck was sold out. It was really disappointing! The restaurant should have updated us while we were waiting instead of letting us waste our time.

Got the small Beijing duck, potatoes, and shrimp. Hella good, make a reservation beforehand to get your duck earlier.

Downright awful AWFUL service. Might as well be a take-out only restaurant with their attitude.

I went there at lunch with with a friend and as we were asking for to-go boxes near end of the meal, while the waiter was taking away the plates, he slipped and spilled an entire giant bowl of duck soup on me and several of our dishes. Luckily, since it was near the end of our meal, the soup wasn’t that hot but it did completely soak my pants and shoes. I told the waiter I was fine and asked for the check. I was expecting maybe at least a few dishes taken off the check or a discount but no, I got slapped with the full bill.

A bit ticked off, I asked the waiter if spilling an entire bowl of soup on a customer warrants some sort of compensation, she said that they had no one with that kind of authority working there right now but she’ll try to call the owner. After a whole 30 minutes of trying to call the owner, she came back with a “Sorry, we just can’t reach the owner right now and there’s no one that can make approve a discount.”

I found this incredulous. How the hell does this restaurant run properly without a store manager or at least someone who can call the shots when these situations happen?

Suppose the soup that was spilled on me was boiling hot and I got sent to the hospital, are all the restaurant employees going to still be standing around twiddling their thumbs saying that they don’t have anyone with authority around here?

In the end, “somehow” they were able to approve a $50% discount on the whole bill. After about 45 minutes of just waiting for them to contact a manager.
