Beijing Da Dong

Service is so good here, staff is really friendly. What comes to my surprise, the staff won’t accept tips. Recommended dish : 1. Kao ya is amazing and less fatty, very crunchy 2. Asked the kaoya on cabbage, they said it’s their boss favorite and indeed i prefer this than using the wrap 3. The leftover deep fried duck is also amazing. It comes to my surprise it tastes so good 4. The eggplant is also unique and sweet If you asked for a private room there is additional charge but it’s worth the penny for it’s tranquility

Food and service is amazing. But the wait for the duck is too long for my liking, they suggest calling to reserve the duck so that can roast in advance. Else everything is yummy

Small duck just nice for 2. Very decent Peking Duck, but we felt the one at SJMF was better. Sea cucumber prepared table side was delicious, but pricey. Disappointed when the bill came and was charged a 10% Private Room fee despite sitting in the main dining hall.

I have been recommended to try Dadong at this specific location and it's does not disappoint. The restaurant was very nicely decorated the semi-private dining space was exquisitely designed. Even the toilet was designed with full on amenities. The menu is like a hard cover picture book, the photos are very nice and this make it very tourist friendly. The also do carried extensive wine and liquor list. We choose a Chinese red wine which turn out to be a good pairing. The food are nicely plated and delicious. The highlight was the peking duck which I enjoyed. I would recommend to pre-book the duck when making reservation. The duck's condiments plate by itself was a art. The dinner service i found to be above average for fine dining in Beijing. Price is above average but very affordable for what you get and comparing to other countries.

2017 January, my boyfriend first came and visited China. Uncle and Dad took us to eat Beijing Duck at DA DONG ROAST DUCK 北京大董烤鸭店. It was our the first time having traditional Beijing Duck in China. We arrived the restaurant at 12 pm, and it had already the big lineup. It took us more than 1 hour to wait for the table. The restaurant looked super fancy and cleaned. Customers could take a look at the menu before they got a seat. The menu was super larger with fancy dish pictures, which made customers easier to order the food. The dishes represented more Chinese Culture rather than taste. The prices were super expensive. We ordered all duck dishes. The duck here was quite good, crispier, fresh and tasty, but many of them were quite small, so you should order more dishes if you have a large group. We much enjoyed our duck lunch. In my opinion, Of course, it’s the best place to take guests who are from other countries.

Up market Peking duck restaurant. Very extensively menu. The menu is as thick as a storybook! Hahahaha. Spoilt for choice! Good quality food and especially that fish soup we ordered was superb!! Be warned, it's not cheap here and service was not really that impressive. 1 lady was doing the cleaning and when we asked for the bill, she rushed over to attend to us and the rest of the service staff were talking over at 1 corner! Then we chanced upon Da Dong fast food chain serving the Peking duck at much lower price if you don't mind the ambience and just want a taste of their duck. Limited menu items of course!

We had a lot of anticipation for this place. Heard exceptional things about its other branch. Overall: Reasonable food for Exorbitant prices. Recommended for its name, and previous fame, we were excited for our duck which was probably the only that that did deliver. Duck was well presented and tasty, have not tried with these peking duck condiments before. Other dishes were ok - can get for same if not better quality for cheaper prices. Hot dishes were served lukewarm. Crispy prawns served soft. Perhaps we expected too much. If you charge high end prices, adequate service and food is expected.

We were recommended this place for Peking Duck by a colleague of my husband. And yes the duck was very good, while the rest of the dishes were ok. The presentation of some of the dishes was ugly and nothing like the pictures. When we arrived, we were given a private table, much too large for 4 people. Very cold and dark athmosphere. Only my husband received a menu, which was this 50 page long completely unorganized picture book. There are no suggestions which dishes go together, and in which order to eat them. If you market yourself as an upscale Michelin place, this is not good. Service was terrible, the worst we experienced in 10 days in China. After 20 minutes of complete non-communication a sour lady with some English skills arrived. She was so annoyed that we needed help with the menu. In the end we had to go with some vanilla options, and the duck of course. This place is a waste of time. I feel sorry for the cook.
