"The Best Peking Duck in Taipei I found a new food obsession when I visited Taiwan, Peking duck. This traditional Chinese dish isn’t just served in Taipei–it’s been elevated to a form of culinary art. While you can find several great purveyors of this delicacy in Taipei, my favorite is the Celestial Restaurant in Zhongshan District. The adventure starts by ordering how you want to duck presented. Your options are duck served in one, two or three ways. Option one is the classic serving of the tasty duck, option two involves mixing the meat with scallions and soy sauce and serving it over rice and the third way is making a soup from the stock. Keep in mind, it’s not one or the other, if you order it three ways, you get all three ways. The classic is of course the best and more than enough food for several people. The duck is first presented to the table in all of its roasted goodness before the skin is served to the salivating diners. The proper procedure is to wrap pieces of the skin along with scallions and hoisin sauce in a small crepe. This simple layering of flavors quickly became one of my favorite meals I’ve ever had. After a few quality moments with the skin, the duck meat is then served, diners consuming it again with the scallions and crepes. I feel cheated that this was the first time I ever had an expertly prepared Peking Duck but it is without exaggeration when I say I would fly back to Taipei just for the chance to enjoy this remarkable meal a second time."

Noodles with Soy Bean Paste ($180): There are a lot of shredded cucumber topped with the paste on the noodles. They give you a large spoon to stir the noodles and the paste since it’s hard to do so merely with a pair of chopsticks. The thin noodles (you can also make them thick) have soft and flexible texture and soy bean paste really complements well, which ends up being a little sweet. This dish has been a significant part of my childhood memories. Mutton with Scallion (S: $310, M: $465, L: $620): The slices taste relatively succulent, well seasoned, and strongly flavoured. It’s one of the best mutton delicacies I’ve ever tried. This Chinese cuisine banquet restaurant is on 3rd floor (there’s a main access to the building next to POYA and the opening lift will lead you here) approximately a hundred metres away from the MRT station (Zhongshan) and the closest exit is No. 3; besides, it wasn’t too busy and a few seats were empty on Thursday night. To top it off, moderate prices, convenient location, excellent food, rapid delivery, and benevolent service. Overall, it’s a 9 out of 10! FYI, hot tea and dessert (almond tofu jelly) are complimentary, the 10% service charge is included in your bill.

We enjoyed our meal here, especially the Peking roast duck—it was delicious! The restaurant is spread over the 3rd and 4th floors. While everything else we tried was good, the duck was the highlight. Service was attentive and friendly.

Our last dinner at Taipei before heading back to Tokyo. I was a bit disappointed as this is topically a “Beijing food” restaurant but the roasted duck we ordered tasted quite good. So was the soup came with the duck. The waitresses there were also very friendly and helpful.

The family-owned restaurant from my parents' generation brings back childhood flavors! The three-way Peking duck is a must-try, especially the traditional sour pickled cabbage duck soup, which is truly authentic. The food is incredibly delicious, and the long-time staff add a nostalgic touch with their service.

Stepping out of the elevator, we were warmly greeted by the restaurant staff. Once our reservation was confirmed, we were led past the many occupied banquet table to a small table for our party. As part of our red, we pre-ordered the duck 3 ways dinner set. The meal was promptly served and devoured. Everything was delicious. The skin of the duck was both crispy and moist. The bones used to make the soup was very tasty. Highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for traditional Peking duck.

Visited here for dinner during the business stay In Taipei 🍽️ Been a while to eat Beijing duck and their price is reasonable compared to eating in Japan. Very juicy skin and thick texture meat go very well with cucumber and onions with flour roll and sauce. Side dishes and soup are also very good. I didn't plan on getting the whole bottle of guava juice when I ordered the first drink...

Very impressed with the food here. We waited pretty long for our food. The skin of the duck was served first, but the wait time for the duck meat took 15+ mins to come. Makes us wonder if we were served with the same duck. The scallion and cucumber that goes in the filling of the wrap is left outside on the table before serving, so they taste very dry and has no flavour. The rest of the dishes are mediocre. I valued more on the quality of the duck. It feels like the restaurant exist to serve their old customer since the servers seems to be friendlier to other tables, which seems like they knew each other from before.

This is probably one of the oldest restaurants in Taiwan and also the best Beijing cuisine. We ordered several items of the menu plus a Peiking duck 3 ways, meat & skin wrap, stir-fried duk meat with bean sprouts, and duck with pickled mustard greens.
