I haven't had a good Peking duck for a while. The duck from this place amazed me! It came with a lot of crispy skin and less meat(It's the best part) and the duck soup is free if you order a whole duck. The duck soup was rich and not overly salted !!
We also ordered some bbq skewers but they were just ok. I recommend to get a duck and order some traditional Beijing cuisines! P.S. the owner is a Beijing grandpa and he's super warm and friendly
The Beijing Duck House moved to a new larger location next to their original location and it finally opened back up again recently. Their new restaurant is beautiful! The staff do NOT speak any English (only Chinese) so be prepared for this. The food came out to us on little robots! They were very cute and it was honestly so Bay Area, however the robot waiters come and go quickly so do not stall when grabbing your plates from it. The duck was absolutely incredible. Perfect texture and crispy skin. The mapo tofu is always a must for me and it did not let me down-- it was insanely good. Scallion pancakes are always a must for me when dining with groups and it was perfect. My favorite dish was actually a stew with loads of cabbage and tofu-- not exactly sure what the name of the dish was but it was flavorful and so satisfying. I look forward to coming back here!!
The food here is amazing. I went for the duck, but didn't realize you need to call 2 hours ahead. Although I was disappointed at first, I was blown away in the end. I have my usual spots for Chinese delivery, but I will make the trip here to dine. I've got experience in Asian cuisine and this is authentic. If you don't like authentic, maybe stick with whatever else you like. There was even lily buds in the hot and sour soup. The tripe with cilantro, incredible. Fresh veggies, cumin lamb and pork with Beijing sauce was amazing. Can't wait to come back for the duck.
Came here for Chinese new year dinner because we were craving perking duck. This used to be the place for perking duck and always so full, you had to order week in advance and still wait in line.
How the pandemic had changed things! Maybe it was because it was 49ers playoff game as well, but the place was pretty empty when we got there. We did reserve the duck and table before hand, and they put us in a private room which was cool.
The duck was well done and as good as before, though they no longer carve it table side. They also trim down the menu quite a bit. Most other dishes were solid as well.
The service had went from standard ho hum to top notch, so that's a plus! Extra star for that!
If you want the duck, you will have to call 2 hours ahead of time! Otherwise, you can sit and wait.
Food is good, no tip needed since they have a robot server.
Amazing as always. This is the only place I go to for beijing duck around here for the last 8 years in the area.
The place itself looks promising as a Chinese restaurant. Not touristy at all... Barely had an English menu, honestly, which again, for me, is a good sign.
Service was good, but the food was great. The main thing to go for is the Peking duck which wasn't the best I've had, but really good and properly executed. The skin was crispy and the meat was very juicy and tender. All the traditional condiments were served, julienned cucumber and spring onion, with thin delicious pancakes.
Highly recommended.
My favor Beijing duck place in Bay Area! The duck skin is thin and authentic. They remodeled and have bbq also. It is nice idea they use robots to serve. No tips required and I don't understand those people complain about the service did they gave tips? Plus I think the owner and people work there are very friendly. We are 2 people here order a duck and she told me that is enough, and come back to ask me if food is ok.
Will come back again and again.
Beijing meat-filled pancake (Jingdong rou bing) is delicious. I bought a pack of frozen ones and brought them home, frying them in a little oil over low heat until they were golden brown on both sides. Strongly recommend!
It's been a few years since we are back to Beijing Duck House for authentic Beijing duck experience. This by far is the most authentic one in the Bay Area, very close to the ones we had in Beijing, from the skins to the thin wraps and the side dishes. Yes it's on the more pricey side but you also get high quality. Many people complained about their service, I have to say their service improved A-LOT this time we went (compared to pre-pandemic), staffs are super friendly and accommodating. We were a party of 8 and they gave us one of their room in the back for privacy. Staffs came over very 5-10 mins to check on us and offer to refill extra duck soup once they saw we emptied our bowls. I will definitely come back next time I crave for BJ ducks!
Pretty good food. Also they have a sign that says NO TIP due to a robot bringing the food, which is really refreshing on todays age where they ask for a tip for Starbucks.
Best Peking Duck in the the entire Bay Area! Their Take-Out is as close to eating in as we can get now, and they do an excellent job packing it all up to-go. Also, V safe Covid Precautions in place.
The duck is prepared so that the fat is absorbed into the juicy meat, leaving only a gorgeous crispy skin and no fat to scrape away. The Plum Sauce is a perfect balance of smooth fruit and savory, and not that grainy sugary mess some other places use. The wrappers are perfectly translucent and tender, but still managed to hold together all the deliciousness you can pack in there. Request double orders of wrappers, sauce and cuke/scallions. Sometimes there's a small additional charge, and sometimes not. Still worth it. Always order a side of Spicy Stir-Fried Eggplant/Gr Beans. And never, ever, be late picking up your order!
Really great Beijing duck! Make sure to call in advance to have one reserved for you. We also ordered eggplant, kung Pao chicken, cumin lamb, and shredded pork. You do not have to pay tip here since the service is done through your phone and a robot waiter. Highly recommend!
