Dayali Beijing Roast Duck

The place was completely understaffed. The wait time for food was ridiculously long. The food tasted heavily of MSG.

The service was unsatisfactory, under staff and the stir-fried duck required a 30 mins preparation time. All dishes presented a taste profile consistent with pre-prepared items.

Very bad experience!!!! The tofu in duck soup smells and tastes so weird and bad. The duck is cold already when it was served. Both of me and my bf feel bad and dezzy after I ate the food right away, it’s getting worse on the way back. After we got home, we all vomited and had diarrhea. Bad experience bad food!!!!!!!!

First of all, we’ve always enjoyed coming here and consider ourselves loyal customers. However, during this visit, the water in the washroom was unbelievably cold, and there was no service throughout our meal. Then, as we were about to leave and pay in cash, the lady asked, “Where’s the tip?” I found that very rude. If the service was unsatisfactory, we shouldn’t be pressured to leave a tip. It was extremely disappointing and unbelievable.

A Meal Worth Remembering

My visit to Dayali Beijing Roast Duck was a first class culinary experience that beautifully showcased authentic Chinese flavors with modern flair.

We began with their signature crispy Peking duck, which truly lived up to its reputation. The skin was perfectly crisp, the meat tender and juicy, and the accompanying thin wraps, scallions, and sauce balanced the richness with just the right sweetness.

Next came the seafood offal—a standout dish packed with green pepper, squid, shrimp, tofu, mushrooms, and red and green peppers. It was a flavorful medley that combined the freshness of the sea with a subtle heat from the peppers, creating a satisfying contrast in texture and taste.

The sweet and sour Chinese salad was a refreshing interlude—crisp, light, and tangy, cleansing the palate for the next round.

The Kung Pao chicken was perfectly spiced, with crunchy peanuts, and tender chicken pieces tossed in a glossy sauce. Every bite had the right balance of heat, sweetness, and nuttiness.

We ended on a high note with the golden duck pear with red beans—a delightful and creative dessert that combined delicate sweetness with a pleasing texture, rounding off the meal beautifully.

Overall, Dayali delivered an impressive blend of traditional craftsmanship and bold flavors. The food was consistent, the presentation inviting, and the service attentive without being intrusive.

⭐ Rating: 4.8 / 5

We ordered a roast duck and several other dishes. When we requested to pack the duck frame (or carcass) to go, the staff did not cut it as is customary. More disappointingly, it was packaged in a non-food-grade plastic bag. This is an area that needs significant improvement regarding hygiene and professional service.

Customer service is very lacking, and the food quality has gone downhill from what it used to be. When problems arise, there’s no one available who can actually help or fix the situation.

Food was good (peking duck and other dishes included).

Just a note that the restaurant only takes cash or debt. They do not take credit cards.

A very simple dish tastes like it was made a week ago and heated up before serve to the table. Duck is okay for the price, but nothing else was eatable
