Perfect restaurant for Peking Duck! Recommend that you make a rez and order in advance. We didn’t get a chance so we called and the guy said if we get there soon, a table and the duck will be available. When we got there, we were told it was a 30-minute wait and the duck was guaranteed. It only took them about 10 minutes and we were called right away.
Duck was good, fresh, and arrived fast! Service was amazing and Max, the host in the front, is the best! The rest of the food came fast and everything was good. More comments posted with the photos.
Bathroom was clean and parking was ample. We didn’t know the entrance was along Valley Blvd. so we got lost! 🤣
Will definitely go back for the Peking Duck!

The reserved rooms on the left have a minimum of $300 but great for bigger groups. The duck was fire. I loved the cabbage and snow vegetable, and the honey walnut was the best I’ve had so far. There was cilantro in the hot and sour soup so that was my least favorite. Omg and the watermelon juice was fire.
Everyone comes here for the peking duck. You must reserve in advance to make sure they will have one. It really is very good. I also got the meat pie, pulled pancake, and spicy cabbage. It reminds me of my grandma's cooking, especially the meat pie. Place is large and service was fast and good.
I came here for lunch on Tuesday with my family while we were on vacation. As tourists, we had no idea of how popular the Peking Duck is over here and usually requires reservations or pre-orders for the duck - otherwise a long wait is for sure. So we were lucky that we did not need to wait at all and the Peking Duck was ready in like 15 minutes.
The ambiance was nice, spacious and family oriented. Parking was plentiful.
Now let's talk about food. Peking Duck was not what I expected. The skin did not have the type of crispiness that I hoped for - it melt in my mouth so fast that I couldn't feel it at all while biting it together with other stuff like meat and vegetables (all were wrapped in an Asian style flour tortilla). So I did not feel the crispiness much but a lot of fat melted in my mouth. However, the thinner parts of the skin were more crispy than the thicker ones. The price is quite high for this main entree, so I think I will not order this again, not for my taste.
We also ordered Diced top sirloin with black pepper sauce - this one we loved it so much. The beef was tender and the sauce was flavorful. (10/10)
The dish did not come with rice though, so had to pay extra to have rice which I did not feel good as it should be included in the meal.

We came for lunch on a Monday without reservation. The first thing the server asked us was if we had a reservation and if we wanted a duck. I say we were pretty lucky to be able to try the Peking duck without a reservation.
We ordered:
- Diced top sirloin with black pepper sauce: our favorite. The meat was so tender, well marinated. The black pepper sauce was delicious, flavorful. It's not greasy. Definitely recommend this dish.
- Peking duck: didn't like it much. I might not be qualified to judge this dish since the first time I had it was over 10 years ago. Not what I imagined. It felt a bit greasy. The duck skin wasn't scripy crunchy. It had a bit of a crunch and melt right away so I couldn't feel it much. Maybe that's how it's supposed to be? Idk.
- Mapo tofu: very greasy and I didn't particularly like the flavor and thought it wasn't really flavorful.
- Rice (2 portions): rice isn't included in any dishes so you need to order extra
No outdoor seating, pretty nice indoor seating. Spacious. Clean.
Service was okay. Not amazing but not bad.

Hands down top 3 Chinese cuisine places in SGV! It rivals the best of them! Fed 5 people for around 120 dollars. I dis not order the duck or lobster which is their expensive stuff. The dishes were outstanding especially the sliced beef with pepper and spicy cow tongue!
Best Peking Duck in LA. Do require advanced reservation to guarantee your order of Peking duck. We added additional meal: house special pancake, honey walnut shrimp and dice top sirloin with black pepper. All cooked to a perfection. The presentation on the Peking duck is superb. Skins without any layer of meat with the meat chops to bite portions. All around a very well deserving a 5 star.
If you want the peking duck, MAKE SURE YOU CALL before you get there (75 min in advacne). Best peking duck I've ever had! I've never had the duck skin cooked crispy before and it was delicious. Instead of bao buns, they have pancakes which is apparently the traditional way to eat peking duck. I wish they gave more pancake though because they charge 6 dollars more pancake. Other dishes aren't bad either but I would come back again for the duck again.
