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.

We did our homework on the Internet, so we booked all the meals in advance. We were very satisfied and there were no delays. Our reservation time was 6:00, but we deliberately arrived half an hour early, otherwise we would have to wait in line for seats.

I'm from China so I've had a lot of Peking duck in China and the US, but this one is by far the best I've had! Super tender and the skin is not fatty!
I also enjoyed all the other dishes we had like cabbage, chicken and noodles - all were sooo good! Can't believe we have this restaurant in the Bay Area - my new favorite for sure.

peking duck is okay , but the service is really bad. We have a reservation but still wait almost an hour. The interesting thing is all of the large tables are empty. They are wasting time on clean tables, endless waiting. The previous people leave about 10-15 min, then they finally remember to clean the table. However, The front desk is empty, no one at there to take us to the table. Why front desk do not take care of the waiting people to the empty table but disappear? After we finish eating, we wait another an hour for the soup. They always said the soup will come quickly, and then not true, yes, still wait. A really bad experience. Please improve your service!

Really good food. Restaurant was packed the whole lunch time. The roasted Beijing duck was good. Actually it is the benchmark to any good peking duck. But i think this is above average because they give you a lot of sauce and toppings like cucumber and scallions. The peking duck skin was very crispy and they had a new topping i have not seen before with peking duck: 山楂 (sweet fruit jelly). Really good surprise. The duck soup was really. Wife ordered a fried corn pancake that was very nice too.
Restaurant was fairly clean. The carpet might need some deep cleaning and the table cloth could have been cleaner. But no complaints.
