Peking Garden

Peking Garden 北京樓at Star House 星光行is a renowned restaurant in Hong Kong famous for its authentic Peking cuisine, particularly its signature Peking Duck. It is a popular spot for both tourists and locals, offering good food and views of Victoria Harbour. The restaurant's most famous dish, known for its crispy skin and succulent meat, often carved tableside for guests. Diners can often watch chefs perform the acrobatic art of hand-pulling noodles or the "Beggar's Chicken" clay-breaking ritual. There are at least 6 branches of Peking Garden Restaurants throughout Hong Kong and Kowloon, the Tsim Sha Tsui branch is known for its luxurious, newly renovated interior and window seats that offer views of the harbor. The restaurant is wheelchair accessible. Peking Garden is open daily with split shifts for lunch and dinner. Reservations are recommended, especially for dinner, as it is a popular spot. The price range is considered expensive ($$$).

Great Peking duck. Excellent soup dumplings also. Extremely well done. Not too fatty for the duck and the skin are moist and soft. They do a very good job here. The rice cakes are delicious.

The duck is so soft, very delicious. Others dish also good. Service not bad, staff take care us very well. From the restaurant you can see the building in harbor area.

We’ve dined here several times and the food has always been consistently good. The prices are fair for both the quality and portion size. The only downside is that they still use cracked tableware, which is concerning as it could potentially cause injury.

Celebrated a birthday and absolutely enjoyed everything about it. Peking duck must be experienced. Book ahead for window table for harbour night show.

Great atmosphere, definitely the best branch with an amazing Harbour sea view. If you sit by the window at dinner, you can catch the beautiful light show at 8 PM. The food is consistently decent, so I recommend it! For more details, check out “gugufoodie” on Instagram.

We ordered pecking duck, diced bean curds with minced pork, and fried rice and loved ALL the food!!!!! I was sad that I couldn't finish all the food as we were too full.

My mum wanna have duck for our dinner. here is one of our favorite choice. we've ordered a set for 3people. with a window seat facing the Victoria Harbour, nice night view.

Today we have lunch with our relatives at Peking House Sha Tin. It is conveniently located at Sha Tin Town Center 8th floor. We ordered a combo with peking duck, soup, deep fried prawn with egg yolk, vegetables, Shanghai noodle and some Shanghai small dishes and dim sum. We wait quite a bit of time before the food arrived. The taste is not bad at all, but I don't know the price, so I can't comment on it whether it is worth it or not. Based on the taste, I do recommend this restaurant for family gathering

Food was ok but for the price, the service is a 1 star. There was a service charge that was added on bill so I left it there. Waitress was rude and not accommodating at all. The girl in the front was super rude. Would not come back.

They will not accept people after 9:30PM. Just letting you know. Was excited to eat but sadly we didn't get accepted. Seemed fancy.

Great beggars chicken Great food Great show in making noodles One of my staple restaurants when in Hong Kong

My aunt took me here for dinner. I really had no expectations walking in, but I was surprised at how busy the restaurant was. It shouldn't really be that big of a surprise though, based on its location in Tsim Sha Tsui and its proximity to Harbour City. Regardless of being a tourist trap or not, Peking Garden delivers on the Peking Duck. I don't claim to be an expert connoisseur of the dish, but i've had my fair share of Peking Duck over my lifetime and the duck here is some of the best i've ever had. A problem with other restaurants serving Peking Duck is when the meat ends up being too dry. Peking Garden does not have that problem. The duck is succulent and juicy, while the skin remains crispy with a perfect balance of sweet and salty. Their hoisin sauce was also the perfect complement to the fatty duck. It had a good viscosity that made for easy spreading and the right amount of sweetness that did not mask, but instead enhanced the duck flavor. We also ordered a jellyfish dish that was good. The strange thing was that it was accompanied with mustard instead of the more traditional vinegar, but it still worked. The service was just okay, as it took awhile for us to get served and also to get the bill. However my aunt and I were appreciative of the waiter who took our order. He convinced us not to over-order and to stick with just two dishes. We ended up with leftovers, so that was good advice. Overall a great restaurant for Peking Duck, conveniently located in TST.

Peking Garden was highly recommended to me by a family friend for dinner, as she had said this is definitely a MUST TRY when dining in Hong Kong. Definitely worth booking a reservation in advance! Apparently Peking Garden also has been known for hosting several wedding banquets, plus the really beautiful background overlooking the Victoria Harbour. The interior is also really beautiful, with mirrored ceilings and the giant amber chandelier upon entering. If you're lucky enough to score seating by the windows at night, you can also catch the Victoria Harbor City nightline and firework display, which is also equally as gorgeous. Noodles- If you order them, they'll hand make the noodles in front of you, so you know they're coming out to you freshly. Really soft and chewy, and the sauce that pairs with it isn't too heavy and is rather light. Really loved their noodles! Also another bonus, if you're with kids they'll slice off a little extra for them right after their noodle pulling is complete so the kids can play with the dough there too! DEFINITELY WORTH GETTING. Peking Duck- A MUST HAVE HERE. Comes with the Peking duck, which is sliced in medallions in front of you. Also served with house made flour tortillas that use the same base as the noodles. Delicious and I'd definitely score these here! Sweet and Sour Fish- The sweet and sour sauce on this was really thick, though it married well with the fish. Another recommend! Sweet and Sour Prawns- Really large prawns, also using the same sweet and sour base that was probably used in the Sweet and Sour Prawns, only there was more heat to it. Another recommend! Watermelon & Lychee Drink- Comes with the watermelon juice and Lychee bits at the bottom. Definitely good drink & a recommend here. Pineapple and Cream Soda Drink- While this was okay I probably wouldn't get this again, solely because my heart was really set on the Watermelon & Lychee drink. It was definitely an interesting combo though, as it was sweet and tart. Green Apple Juice- Slightly bitter from the green apples, it was nice. Again I think I just preferred the watermelon lychee drink more though. Service was prompt and always was very quick and to the point. They'll change your plates after every new dish, so you'll always receive a clean plate after each course. No complaints on any of the service here. Overall, Peking Garden gets a 5 from me. I don't have any complaints, really; as I loved my experience here. The amazing food paired with the gorgeous interior yo match, I'm definitely glad for this recommendation. Definitely worth recommending and I'd definitely come back here again when I return to Hong Kong!

I was told this place was a must try in Hong Kong, if you're visiting for their Peking Duck! I've only had duck in the states so I was more than excited to try their famous Peking duck here! The restaurant was located all the way up on the third floor. The place is big, casual and vibrant. Came here with a group of 9. We were seated next to the big window so we had the panoramic view and the lights of Victoria's Harbor! Always a plus. We ordered the Peking duck and a few other dishes. Somehow, we ended up ordering shark fin soup. Everything was good. I can't rave enough about the Peking duck. Hands down, the best duck I've ever had. So delectable and juicy. Properly cut, the meat perfectly cooked, and the skin nice and crisp. Would highly recommended this place. You won't regret it

This place was recommended to me by my cousin who celebrated her wedding there. Great food and if you are lucky you'll have a table right next to the windows with a fantastic view on Victoria harbor and HK skyline at night.

In Hong Kong this place is known for their famous duck dishes. For me, I like their seafood dishes and other things they sell here. This restaurant is very pricey but worth every dollar.

Recently visited HK and this was one place a friend said we had to go for dinner. So plans were made and before a night out in LKF a few of us got together to indulge in the bird. Conveniently located right off the Star Ferry, the venue itself is on the 3rd floor and opens up to a huge space. The place is dressed in expected decor but really... is that what you want to hear about? I think not. The duck. Nearly every table has one. The duck is cooked beautifully and is cut immediately before being delivered to the table. Each morsel was so juicy and crispy... just the way it should be. I could taste my cholesterol going up a point with every few bites. (That's a good flavor by the way ;)) Now the rest of the dishes we ordered were mediocre. Good yes and nothing that would make me give a negative review, but they did not live up to the duck. What dishes am I talking about? Well friend, that would be the sharks fin soup, mapo tofu, and fried rice. Of these dishes, I've had better elsewhere but still good, so don't let that scare you away! I'll definitely be stopping by the next time I'm in HK!

This establishment was recommended by an acquaintance who is from Hong Kong. She said that we HAD to try the Peking Duck at this location. We obeyed and I am so glad we did. The dining experience was great. One of the staff brought the whole duck for us to see and then proceeded to cut it into perfect little medallions. The duck was very juicy but the skin so crisp. Just perfect. Great customer service and very reasonable price for lunch (half off). We ate the whole birdy. Definitely going to come back someday on our next visit to Hong Kong. The only thing that I would criticize is some of the decor that needs to be refurbished - as it looks old and not in the best of shapes in the area we were sitting.

You would never guess that there would be a huge, decent looking restaurant three floors up if you walk into the building on the ground floor, past all of the cheap looking stores. Although Peking Garden wasn't our first choice, we finally ended up here and were seated right away (only two of us). The place is semi-fancy, with virtually every table ordering duck. Unfortunately, they don't have half orders of the duck, so we ended up ordering (and attempted to eat one) by ourselves. We ordered: Hot and sour soup: decent (you can order the soup by the bowl here). Sizzling rice with seafood: pretty good (always love crispy rice cakes) Sauteed pea shoots: standard, but we wanted some vegetables with our meal Whole duck: this was pretty good. They actually carve it with both skin and meat, so it is only a one course duck meal. Hoisin sauce, green onion, duck meat in a pancake: aren't too many things better than that. However, we were served two plates of duck, and it got repetitive after a while. We took some to go, and it still tasted pretty good the morning after. At 400 HKD, it was decently priced. In total, the meal was around 900 HKD (115 USD). Not bad for the quantity and quality of the food that we got. If you are in this area and are looking for duck, this would be a good place to try.

Ambiance/decor-3 Service-3 Food-3 Strikeouts-0/3 Nothing spectacular about this place. Prime location at harbour city for many years. However the few is quite nice if you get to sit near the tables to look outside at Victoria harbour!! One of the biggest tourist trap dishes is the beggar chicken dish. They let you wack a big ball containing the cooked chicken already, take a photo and put it on a card for you. They also give you a miniature golden hammer to keep. This chicken is really dry and definitely does not taste moist at all. Need to chug tea to make it go down. Aside from that, they are famous for their Peking duck which i found was pretty average and like any other place needed an additional order of wraps for the extras pieces of duck! Nothing else stood out, but nothing was bad either. Overall, I was satisfied with the food selection, but nothing more than a place to stop by for the view.

My cousin and his family took me here for a catch up meal, we have not seen each other for a couple of years. Originally, he wanted to book the restaurant upstairs but it was full and so booked here instead, especially since they had a special 40% off set dinner for 4 persons promotional meal for Hang Seng Credit Card Holders which consisted of seven courses, like a banquet. Starter - Marinated chicken with rice wine sauce accompanied with sea blubber (jellyfish) in Spring Onion Sauce. Very tasty and I love the texture of Sea Blubber which I would imagine what eating rubber bands is like, but tastier! Second course - sauteed prawns in garlic sauce - the large tiger prawns served in a spicy garlic sauce with winter melon were really succulent and fresh. Third course - Braised Bird's Nest Soup with seafood and pumpkin. This was a strange dish, orange in colour. I could not taste the pumpkin or the seafood although there were bits in the soup. Not a fan of bird's nest as it is made from bird's saliva! Fourth course - Steamed Pork Dumplings stuffed with Supreme Soup - which is really xiao long bao - the crème de la crème (or dumpling de la dumpling) of the dumpling world, it is filled to the brim with juicy minced pork and trademark soup. This dish originates from Shanghai. Best eaten while still hot. The skin was a little thick here, but still tasty. Fifth course - Barbecued Peking Duck - The pièce de résistance of this restaurant. Delicious and succulent duck perfectly cooked with crispy skin which we wrapped in thick pancakes with cucumber, spring onion and plum sauce. The duck could be eaten on it's own and it is still tasty. We got two plates full, and what we could not finish, you can ask for it to be boxed up to take home, so nothing is wasted. Sixth course - Braised whole abalone with oyster sauce and Chinese cabbage. A slippery dish, but nothing special in taste here. Final course - Sweeten mashed walnut cream - a hot sweet walnut soup dessert (Hup Tul Woo). It should be rich and creamy and best served hot, but it was none of these, although it nicely rounded off the meal as something sweet. NB: Supposedly, the Chinese believed that walnuts resembles the shape of the brain and, therefore, they are good for nourishing the brain. Walnuts are also associated with longevity, since walnut trees live for hundreds of years.

My girlfriend and I were in HK for a week and my family there decided to have a gathering at the long time restaurant, peking garden. The first thing that crossed my mind was oh no.. A bunch of chinese food like what we normally eat at traditional chinese restaurants. Although, there was some of that, the unique and different dishes made me think otherwise. The peking duck is an absolute must order because that's what they're famous for. They cut the duck right in front of you and even put on a hand pulled noodle show for the noodles that come with it. In america we usually eat peking duck with bread buns but the traditional way would be with wraps that look kind of like corn tortillas, it really gives the full duck flavor with the much thinner texture wrap. Service was great and don't worry there are plenty of tourist around you.

I've been to Hong Kong twice in my life, and both trips have included a dinner at Peking Garden. Ten years ago, I didn't know this was one of the most well-regarded Peking duck spots in town, but I remembered liking it enough that I looked it up when I was in Hong Kong last month. I was happy with our dinner. The restaurant is located on the water, though the views, particularly at night, are not particularly clear. It's a nice space, casual and vibrant with a lot of staff walking around. I also gather that it caters to tourists--we were there, as were an astonishing number of white people taking iPhone videos of chefs hand-pulling noodles. We were a party of seven, and we decided on a set menu designed for six people, which cost $2180 (in HKD). This was plenty of food, and it came course by course, rolling out like a royal feast. We drank tea and wine. Service was prompt and pleasant, and there was no language barrier. The food was all good, though not all amazing. We started with two kinds of cold cuts: chicken marinated in rice wine sauce and something called, appetizingly, sea blubber--I believe it was jellyfish or one of jellyfish's boneless relatives. They came with some hot mustard on the side. The chicken was slippery tender and I liked the marinade. Wasn't a huge fan of the goosepimpled skin, but it didn't bother me. The jellyfish was vinegary and tasty, if a little too soft. Next up were deep-fried prawns in chilli sauce. These were meaty and sweet, with great textures between the battered and fried shells and the thick, juicy prawns. The chilli sauce was appropriately spicy. We didn't lick everything clean on our table, but this dish we polished off easily. The braised shark's fin soup with shredded chicken was good if you like shark's fin soup. I'm not used to the goopy, gelatinous consistency, but it tasted great, with deep, warming flavors. The Peking duck is the centerpiece of any Peking Garden meal, and it was definitely the main event of our dinner. We watched our duck get carved right near our table, and then we ate each crispy, fatty, caramelized piece. The meat came beautifully arranged on big plates, carved into a few different cuts that allowed for meat and skin in every bite. There was a ton of flavor from both the duck and whatever the duck sat in to get that lacquered roasted skin. We ate it up taco style with thin floury Chinese tortillas, some leeks, and plum sauce. My first visit to Hong Kong was after a year of college Mandarin, in which we spent a whole unit learning how to describe the process of eating Peking duck in Chinese. By the time I got to Peking Garden, I was ready to be entranced by the ceremony, and the meal here does not disappoint. We wound down our dinner with some sautéed Shanghai cabbage with mushroom and a round of xialongbao, described on the menu as "steamed stuffed pork dumpling with supreme soup." The cabbage and mushroom weren't my favorite on their own. I feel like they would've worked better as a side, but oh well. The soup dumplings were excellent, thin-skinned and juicy, the hot, porky soup most definitely supreme. For dessert, there was a simple fruit plate with honeydew, cantaloupe, watermelon, and a little strawberry. A nice, clean way to end a heavy meal. I didn't love everything in the set menu, and watching the noodle-making process made me really wish we were eating some noodles. If I were to come back on a future visit to Hong Kong, I'd be into getting the duck, the prawns, the dumplings, and some noodles a la carte. I hope I get the chance to eat here a third time.

Peking Duck is the prime real estate here. Perfectly cooked, complimented with lightly seasoned crispy skin. Served with traditional rice paper and plum sauce, this dish will satisfy the taste buds any time of the day. Overall excellent food and excellent view. Staff are friendly and speak good enough English. If your in the area try this place out and enjoy some traditional cuisine.

400hkd for a BBQ duck?... Gotta do it. Food was great. Everything was clean and the staff spoke English. Other items were reasonably priced for portion size and couldn't be happier after dining with a group. Meals are served family style. Everything we had was delicious. It wasn't the best I've ever had, but definitely reasonable. Average entree item price 70-80hkd.

Newly renovated location but very disappointed at the decor. Most of all though, the service is horrible. We waited over an hour to get our first dish. No apologizes no explanations.

Came here on a Weekday evening for dinner to catch up with a friend, and decided to bring along the family - the more the merrier, right? It turned out a great idea as we were able to order a four-person set dinner plus an order of classic dumplings, which filled us just enough. This particular location is connected to Harbour City, meaning it's popular among the tourists. Be sure to make a reservation no matter how small your party, to ensure seats are ready for you in a good location. It'll also ensure you're located in a decent spot to see the handmade noodles performances that occur after 7:30pm. While not super amazing or intricate, it still gives the vibe that food is being made from scratch in front of your eyes. If you've never seen handmade noodles, this is a good introduction. One side of the restaurant also overlooks the harbour across to Hong Kong Island - a great nighttime cityscape view to accompany dinner. The set dinner we chose was recommended by the supervisor overseeing our table, and came advertised at a deep discount if you pay with a China Bank credit card. It had all the works - fried shrimp, zucchini starter, abalone, Peking roast duck, thick soup, fried rice, dessert. The highlight was the Peking roast duck, which is really what Peking Garden and Beijing is famous for. The duck is shown to you once it's roasted pre-carve, and once it's carved we saw lots of meat and crunchy skin available. There was tons to go around and sufficient tortilla-like wraps to accompany the duck. I was thoroughly impressed and especially satisfied after having heard negative comments that the location is a tourist trap and has lost much of its allure. The rest of the meal was somewhere between average and good - nothing stood out but everything was quite satisfying. Portions were appropriate for the intended dinner for four, though one may argue that four large appetites would be left craving more. The service was good and the supervisor that oversaw our table was friendly but not invasive. There was never any rush on our eating pace, which I greatly appreciated. The restaurant was nowhere near full, so we sat for quite some time eating and chatting away. Food came out timely one after another, and plates were exchanged for clean ones regularly. The price of the meal came out to be on the expensive side, though reasonable given the style of Chinese restaurant, the experience, and the location. Comparing to a Western meal at a steakhouse or grill and bar, the price is about the same. This is a great location for occasions and treating guests from outside the city.

Overall was a slight improvement from before. This restaurant has gone the opposite direction from being one of the better ones. Great location with a view of the Victoria Harbor but the rest is lacking. Service is very Robotic, while they are all very pleasant looking with fitted uniform but the 'spirit to Serve' is not within. Portions of each dish is acceptable but the taste is 50/50, Hot and Sour soup is lacking its taste in the soup base, a deep dried pineapple fish filets had too much sugar it was way too sweet, noodles order - soup and pan fried ones were still delicious but the dessert was poorly made especially the deep fried donut one with red beans inside, it was very doughy and loaded with white granulated sugar it was not puffy like a beignet. I would not recommend for a visit if you have out of town guests to entertain.

One of the best restaurants in Hong Kong to have unpretentious delicious Peking duck. Part of the maxim group, I prefer this over M&C duck in Harbour city. The sweet and sour pork and the fried chili prawns are a must order.

I am 60% Chinese and have eaten American style Chinese food my whole life. I have however never like Peking Duck out here in the states. However when I first got to visit my family's birth place in HK my son found this is place just by chance on yelp. We ordered the duck as recommended by the waitress despite my reluctance but to my delight the duck was the most memorable dish I had in the two weeks of our visit. Sadly there is nothing like it out here that I have found. It is a bitter sweet delight that I finally see the draw to this dish but sad that I won't likely ever have it again.

Peking Garden belongs to the famous Hong Kong based Maxim's catering group. Peking garden has different outlets all over Hong Kong. As the name states they serve Beijing cuisine. All outlets have the same menu. This one is located in the Star house in the busy Tsim Sha Tsui district. The crowd is mixed including many tourists, mainland Chinese and some locals. It's a buzzing and casual atmosphere, normally noisy, with lots of people walking around. The setting is simple, old style Chinese, mostly round tables with a lazy Mary. Service is efficient and friendly, even when it's packed. That happens a lot as this is a very popular place.They have a little wine list covering most parts of the world. All classics are on the menu, including Peking Duck, Beggars chicken, deep fried fish with sweet and sour sauce and various kinds of Beijing dim sums. If you order beggars chicken, you'll get a hammer to break the crust. They'll take a picture of you which you get as a souvenir together with a miniature hammer. There's also a noodle show where the guests will see how to make noodles from scratch. In general quality of food is high. Go for the Peking duck which is one of the best in Hong Kong. Try the different dim sums which are all very good. And leave room for dessert as they are really good as well. Inexpensive, around HK$ 250 per head, great value for money!

Located this place on yelp. Took a while to locate even with google map. Pretty packed when we arrived 8pm. Server was quick in greeting & take drink order, but it took too long for her come back. We were leaning towards a whole Peking duck, but decided against it due large size. ended up with an alternate Duck, chicken, beef & veg dishes were small but tasty. It was nice that our particular Amex card rebated 20% of meal cost for the restaurant.

I came to the restaurant once during my business trip. I really liked the Beijing Duck. The restaurant has good atmosphere, with a great view. The services were great. They were very friendly. Since I was a visitor to HongKong, they even showed me a map and guided me directions on the map. Thanks!

First impressions are quite suspect as you have to enter the restaurant through a shopping mall but once you inside it is a lovely restaurant with spectacular views of the city. The staff were a mixed bag really. Some had suits on and were very smartly dressed however the waitresses were in 'normal' clothes and our waitress had a face mask on which I found a bit off putting. The food was very good however with a lot of choice on the menu and good portions. Would recommend to anyone visiting Hong Kong and request a table near the windows for a great panoramic view of the island.

Ou la la best Peking Duck in town!! I look forward to my next visit!! Great noodle show!!

Worst Customer service ever. Foods suck and staffs are not friendly. Dumplings are dry and overpriced foods. Worst part is, staffs are racists.

one of the top spots for Peking duck in prime location. cut in front of you. tasty with proper thin crispy skin. great for groups, signature dishes prawns in sweet-sour chili and the sweet sour whole fish.
