Overall, it was not a bad experience at QJD, which is a nice and clean restaurant with professional and friendly staff. While the cold dishes were interesting, the duck was phenomenal and was nicely presented and prepared right in front of us. However, we're disappointed with the dish sizes, given that they were extremely petite for the prices charged!!Despite this, I would still recommend QJD for the experience, as long as you are prepared to spend a significant part of your budget.There were four families, and our dinner cost us a total of $1200.

As a Beijinger, dining at QJD Peking Duck Restaurant in Markham was a nostalgic journey back to the flavors of home. Every dish I tasted tonight brought back fond memories of authentic Beijing cuisine. The Peking duck, in particular, was a standout, cooked to perfection with crispy skin and succulent meat.Beyond the delicious food, I was impressed by the interior design, which beautifully captured the essence of Chinese rich culture. The fancy decor and attention to detail added to the overall dining experience, creating an atmosphere that felt both elegant and welcoming.Overall, QJD Peking Duck Restaurant exceeded my expectations, delivering not only authentic flavors but also a taste of home. Highly recommended for anyone craving genuine Beijing cuisine in a stylish and culturally-rich setting.

First time to dine in and had extremely damn experience today.Order the BBQ duck and the weird thing was the chef cut the duck meat in the far corner and we could not see it as usually we did in the other duck restaurant.Ordered a couple of dishes , and the taste to be honestly is lower than avergae. The duck skin taste not too bad (4/5) and the meat was awful ??? it is too dry ....my wife stop to eat it after just taste a few pieces.The ? eggplant tastes ok (3/5), but it is too oily.. I used to eat the similar dish in the other restaurants and it is regular oil but the one right here was toooooooo oil.. we just left half over and took more hot tea ?The most awful part tonight was the servece ( a young girl with pigtails of mixed colour ) looks so cool without any sime on her face , she feels alike she lose the ? money in the casino.. we stayed in more than one hour and the only three times we asked for to refill out teapot were served by another young busboy ( he is very gentle and polite ), and this girl never never approach is to take away a dirty plate .. so there were a bunch of dirty dishes on our table even we got our dessrts.. again, we have to ask the busboy ( the one I mentioned above ) to clean up our table again as we have no space to finish our dessrts..we have been to the other restaurants million times ( especially the contonese restaurant), the serve take frequently clean and switches your dirty plates all the times ..Usually the server will.give me the desserts after we finished main course in the other restaurants and we have been sitting out there for more than ten mins with bundle of dirty dishes on the table...and nobody came up to us and asked us if we need anything else.. and we just sat there like a idiot ...And we have to ask the busboy if they offer the desserts to us and he said he was not quite sure about it and he need to ask chef.. I was thinking if he was well trained. :) Anyway, we got two bolws of sasame soup.. I personally think I can rate at (5/5) Even though I knew it's a kinda of instant sasame powder .. my wife said the desserts were the best part of the whole dish..lol ???Friends of mine told me it is very good restaurant and that's why I showed up here tonight, but it feels sooooooooooo disappointed for whatever dish flavor and service ... I guess probably we r not luck ? tonight .... Absolutely we won't came back anymore and won't recommend to anyone we know...The funny thing was I saw the young lady ( mixed pigtails colour) finally laughed while she speaking to her colleague ( a sunshine smile like a angel ?), and the next second came over to us showing me the pos machine and her smile disappeared quickly..lol what a fantastic performance..The last question is if anyone can tell me if this restaurant is real duck chain restaurant from china ???if it is, why it taste tooooooooooooobad ??????The reason I made a one star ⭐ is just because of the busboy ( gentle and polite)..he is supposed to be the server instead of the young girl ( mixed colour pigtail)????

Peking duck was pretty good although the slicing of the duck wasn’t done near our table, it was done behind near the kitchen unfortunately. We were only 3 at the table so there was space to actually bring the duck slicing process near our table. We also went past 1 pm and there were only 3 tables occupied at our section so it wasn’t due to space limitations.Flavour wise, the duck was juicy and the skin was crispy. We had enough meat sliced to satisfy all 3 of us. Unlike in Dayali where we only had one small plate of sliced duck served, here in QJD, we had 2 plates, more than enough for 24 pcs of pancakes.We also had an eggplant dish with shrimps and peanuts, the dish was served with a tea light underneath to keep it warm. We really liked the flavour too.The rest of the duck bones were fried crispy, we also enjoyed this very much.Leo was a server and he did an excellent job of attending to us. Even the lady server was quick to refill our teapot.Atmosphere- nice and quiet. They had a dragon balloon displayed and it was a very intricate dragon, quite impressive!Total bill for duck, eggplant dish, crispy duck bones plus tip $189.

The restaurant is clearly known for their duck. And they have a lot of other duck related dishes, very creative and unique. My first visit, I’ll probably go again. But I was very disappointed with their house special sweet and sour fish. I was so so looking forward to trying it but sadly it was sub par. The fish batter was gummy, and slimy in texture. There was no crunch. The fresh of the fish was tasteless without the sauce. The Peking duck though was good. The wrapper was the highlight. We also ordered the scallion pancakes (they were mid), but the pan fried buns were delish. So all in all, it was a hit and a miss.
Service. Horrible. Food...very mediocre (although the noodles were good). Ambiance was ok. Service was crap. Did I mention the service being bad???

It doesn't matter if the quality control of Quanjude cuisine is not good. The service is based on who orders the dishes. Plastic bags are given to us and reusable bags to others. I couldn't finish the food and packed up 3 dishes to take home. A meal costs 200➕, but it’s not worthy of a reusable bag? Who should I blame?

Probably the best Peking duck anywhere. The menu is huge and even though we ordered a whole pile stuff instead of just Peking duck, shrimping spring rolls, we' had to take home.The service 2 is excellent. All the wait staff were quick and explain anything we wanted to know and even helped us to look for stuff to try.It's outside the Marriott hotel or just attached to it so it's not hard to find and definitely worth the trip
