Beijing Duck House

This place deserves more than 5 stars. I’ve been ordering from here since the pandemic and the quality has only gotten better. Peking duck is delicious and I genuinely believe they have the best Peking duck on the California coast.

First thing first… we tried to order the 6-7 set menu dinner which supposed to give 1.5 Peking Duck, but they said it’s either 1 or 2. I felt we got ripped off because it's on the menu but they wouldn't honor it for whatever reason. 土豆 - is a local dish. Vinegar stir fry potatoes. It's ok. Acquired taste. 酸菜粉絲 - Actually not bad, sour but I enjoyed it. 大盤雞 - My favorite dish. The chicken and potatoes was flavorful. The noodle was too soggy but taste good with the sauce. Peking duck - It's actually very good. Some of the skins were so crunchy it almost melt in your mouth but they're are other pieces more tough and the meat is a bit overcooked. Sweet and sour pork - the batter was crunchy when it first came out. Then get soggy. It's not bad. Kung Pao chicken - Good flavor, not bad. Tofu - pretty plain. Sauce on the salty side. I've to say I was disappointed when they couldn't give us the 1.5 duck. I assume they have a legitimate reason. However, after a few dishes, I was pretty satisfied for the food is pretty good. It's a Peking home style cooking. One interesting aspect... No tips required.

A short video to share with you all. https://youtu.be/a1koJ7VsB58?si=PFePTTGhOVtUqw6N A Michelin recommended restaurant. Beijing duck must be ordered in advance. Very salty food. Pancake is oily. There’s surprising egg shell in the mushu pork. The environment is good. Service is also good with delivery by robots. No tips is required.

For our wedding anniversary, I was craving for Peking duck with crepes instead of baos. I believe this is the only location around South Bay that offers just that. The whole restaurant name is in Chinese so I wasn’t sure if I was at the right place lol. There are 2 smaller and faded signs with the English name, but we couldn’t see it until we walked closer to the restaurant. I called to make a same day reservation for the duck in the afternoon for dinner so they will have time to prepare. I think it is preferred to call ahead to let the restaurant know the amount of Peking duck you’re planning to order. The place itself is huge. When we walked in, we were expecting a pretty lively atmosphere but we were the only other party there. Right when we walked in, we were greeted by a woman who I’m thinking is the owner or at least a manager there. At the get-go, she told us there will be no tipping necessary because food is served by a robot. So that was cool and I appreciate the business being upfront. Everything is ordered digitally with a QR code. The little robot server’s voice is hilarious when it says “bye-ee” like a little kid, that’s cute. Okay now to the food. We ordered 1 duck for 2 people. It was enough for the both of us to be satisfied and not uncomfortably full. The leftover duck bones were made into a soup. Our total with taxes came out to be around $87 dollars. Not the cheapest, but as expected for the Bay Area in general. The duck was good and juicy and the skin was crispy. Just wish the duck pieces themselves were thicker, they were quite thin. I’ve also had crispier skin at other places, but the crispy level wasn’t bad. The consistency of the crepe is perfect! Nice thinness, and it wasn’t fragile where it would rip during the rolling process. The little sauce and sides compliment the duck very well (it does cost extra if you’d like more of the sides). The duck, the sauce, cucumber, and onion slices combo is *chef’s kiss*. Definitely hit the craving. The soup was light and clean, which I personally enjoy very much. My husband isn’t a big soup person and he enjoyed it just as much and had multiple servings. Bottom line: 3.9/5, if the duck meat could be thicker and skin a bit crispier, it would be better. Overall good food and experience. (IG: nokrapreviews 😎)

Very clean and well decorated. They use robot servers so no need to pay tips, which is significant saving. The food is authentic, though a bit on the greasy side. The dumplings were good and definitely not store bought. Would recommend the lamb and green onion dish. Have to call at least 1.5 hour in advance to order the duck as that’s how long it takes to make the Peking Duck.

Since it's going to be a dragon year, I thought to celebrate it in the traditional way. Reservation highly recommended. I came here with my friend and ordered on the phone and a robot came and delivered the food for us on our table. Fully automated experience was interesting. The robot in a very cute, speaking in kids voice in Mandarin. The atmosphere is very traditional northern Chinese. It was nice, not too crowded at least when we reached here at noon. Since everything is managed by a robot you don't have to give any tips . Though if you need anything there are people who will come to you. I really enjoyed the authentic peking duck, with spring onion, cucumber and sweet bean sauce with thin crepes rolled around the fillings - the whole duck comes in two plates, condiments and soup. 12 pieces of crepes which isn't going to be enough so we ordered another plate. Then napa cabbage with vinegar, duck soup, little lamb skewers, and sweet bread for dessert. While we were dining they served soup dumplings on the house, which was a very nice gesture. Overall, I enjoyed the whole experience. You got to know the dishes and for that you need to have a friend who is actually from China. It is an expensive one if you order peking duck. My first time here and would love to try their other dishes too.

Food is delish!!! You order via QR code & food comes quite quickly. You can tell noodles are homemade & food is so savory! Have comes 3-4x already and it’s been great every time.

If you go for duck, it's going to cost you $79.99 for a whole duck in 2 plates, condiments and soup. For us the duck portion was small, despite the skin was fried crispy. 12 pieces of crepes isn't going to be enough. Another order of that costs $8 ($7 online). Duck sauce costs another $5 ($4 online). Soup was fine as expected. Environment was nice and not crowded on weekdays. No tip required as robot took care of the serving.
