Spring Deer

One of the most traditional and famous Chinese restaurant especially for its Beijing duck. It is not easy to book a table for the same day. It is always full. Well, but I don't see the food quality so high. Beijing duck is oily and the wrap is too thick. Most other foods maybe very traditional but not that tasty. You are gonna pay a bill of high amount for its fame and tradition not for good food.

A very traditional restaurant but don’t let the design or the sometimes rude servers fool you. The food is delicious without it’s pretentious look. We ordered one peking duck which very is tasty. Other dishes we tried included cabbage cooked with ham, long beans, steam and fried dumplings, the special doufu, etc.

A friend introduced this place to us to experience dinner like a local. It's not a fancy restaurant - just a very average looking restaurant, no posh tables or chairs nor high expectations on service. Food - Every single dish did not disappoint. Fried beef, peking duck, melon and Yunnan ham soup, egg with fish, tofu, fried noodles and rice, fried Chinese dessert. The fried beef is something so different it's crispy - not like the usuals! Price - Reasonable for the amount of food we had... Service - I never expected good service, especially in HK where you can only get better level of service in hotels. The two ladies who attended to us were so patient towards us and they kept coming back to speak/joke around with us. They were really polite and told us about their closing hours.. All of us left happy - and will definitely recommend this place to everyone!! We made a reservation at 8.30pm and only got our table at 9pm... It's quite impossible to get a table without reservation as they are really very packed! They close around 10pm too so you wouldn't want to be too late...

Definitely a tourist trap (which we fell into). The food wasn't great, it was OK, but I have had much better in Hong Kong for half the price. We arrived at 18:10, the restaurant opened at 18:00 and almost every table was reserved. By 18:45 every table was full (Tuesday night). We got one of the last available tables and watched as the it filled up with tourists from everywhere. The duck seems to be the dish of choice here which we did not order. I'd suggest getting duck only if it is two of you ($420 for a duck) and nothing else as it looks like a big feed. The other food we ordered was all OK, but the duck looked much better. Again, I would probably avoid here and look elsewhere, very touristy and overpriced. To experience Hong Kong food, go elsewhere. If you want duck, are willing to pay well over the top for an English speaking waiter/waitress and are happy to book in advance, then this is the place for you.

Great service ! Been here for many years! And they have been doing the same traditional dishes since I don't know when! So their food is as authentic as it gets! An Old taste of HK in the booming 80s. You'd also find the very Chinese things about the restaurant, for example the abandoned wine bar as their work station. Always book in advance !!

Came for the Peking Duck, stayed for the amazing 70s decor. I've seen that some people call this a 'tourist trap', I disagree. This is a very popular restaurant and mostly with locals, which is always a good sign. It is definitely more on the pricy side for the duck, but you can easily share it between 3 people, we were 2 and had heaps of left overs.

Too much MSG in the food. Was here for a late supper and the restaurant was still busy and full. We had no booking but the staff managed to settle us into a table quickly. Service is efficient and no nonsense. The first two dishes of yang chow fried rice and fried tofu coated in shrimp roe arrived without too much waiting while the grilled mutton too much longer. Taste wise, from best to least liked - Fried toufu coated in shrimp roe (shrimp roe was fragrant and toufu was soft and fresh) - Grilled mutton (retained its juiciness) - Yang chow fried rice (too wet and ingredients of pork and shrimp was hard)

Good Chinese Restaurant across the street of the Hyatt Regency hotel, Tsim Tsa Tsui. Came with no reservation and they gave us a table with 90 minutes to eat; not bad considering the restaurant actually was fully packed during dinner time. Ordered foods from the Chef's Recommendation Menu.

Infamous Peking Duck! Rule of Thumb: Make reservations. Ordered: - Peking Duck $380 HKD ~ $52.41 USD - Fried Rice $70 HKD ~ $9.66 USD. Tina's Travel and Tabloid: - Located on Mody Road near the East Tsim Sha Tsui MTR Station about a 5 minute walk. - As mentioned before, make a reservation beforehand! - Docked a star because owner or manager front was initially rude to me because I didn't have reservations, but as soon as my mom spoke in Cantonese to him, he was accommodating. - Takes credit cards, and items are priced higher here. - Anything you ask for, there's an extra charge. - Cannot say that the service wasn't good, very attentive to our table. Maybe because it was the New Year and we looked foreign! - The duck was delicious and greasy goodness! Haha, they do live up to their duck!

Spring deer restaurant is located in Tsim Tsai Tsui, Hong Kong, probably served the most authentic and best peking duck outside of peking, China. Per Wikipedia, "The dish, originally named "shāo yāzi" (燒鴨子), was mentioned in the Complete Recipes for Dishes and Beverages (飲膳正要) manual in 1330 by Hu Sihui (忽思慧), an inspector of the imperial kitchen.[3][4] The Peking Roast Duck that came to be associated with the term was fully developed during the later Ming Dynasty,[2][5][6] and by then, Peking Duck was one of the main dishes on imperial court menus.[7] The first restaurant specialising in Peking Duck, Bianyifang, was established in the Xianyukou, close to Qianmen of Beijing in 1416." The dish is served with mostly the skin and little meat, carved in front of the customer by the cook. Most of these ducks are bred specially for the dish. The meat is then served with spring onion, cucumber and sweet bean, hoisin sauce with peking buns. I have been to this restaurant a number of times, their quality are always at its best with consistent crispy skin, juicy meats, and very thin layers of fat. It's finger licking good!

This restaurant is located just down the street from our hotel and my husband was craving Peking duck. We ordered a veggie dish of beans with duck meat (nothing special, I thought it would be spicy but it wasn't), Peking duck, of course (meat was pretty greasy, tasted fine otherwise: juicy and tender. I liked how the crepe was made from scratch and resembled more like naan than the usual paper thin crepes. $420 HKD), and dessert of deep fried red bean/ banana fritters (so filling and I'm not that big a fan of fried dough). This meal was more than enough for the 4 of us (plus one child). My husband ranked this Peking duck as one of his best (and he's eaten it in a few different countries). My cousin tells me that this restaurant caters to tourists (as evident by English and Japanese on the menus) and so their pricing is a little bit higher than some of the more local establishments. Fast efficient service. Restaurant and washrooms pretty clean. Reservations highly recommended as this place gets pretty busy. If you show up without a reservation, you are stuck waiting until they can stick you in somewhere by sharing a table with a smaller party. No free wifi, although you might be able to mooch off a signal from the bakery downstairs.

We came here for the dinner after we landed in HK. It's quite easy to get there if you take public transit and walk out for TST MTR station. My girlfriend made the reservation a week in advance and pre-ordered the signature roasted Peking duck for us. I found this is not the finest of surroundings but the ambience is as original as it gets with low ceilings, stained wallpaper, tablecloths and napkins used once too many times etc. The service was ok and just a bit slow and pushy on weekend. We only ordered for peking duck in 2 ways. Of coz, the traditional way to slice the skin and served with Chinese pancakes. The chef would slice duck in front of our table but we found the duck was too fatty and the skin wasn't crispy at all. The meats were tender and juicy but not surprise us at all. Pan fried dumpling - the wrap (skin) was so thick and it was deep fried instead. Stir fried bak choy - it came in very small portion and poor quality of bak choy! Stir fried scramble egg white with crab meat - the crab meat wasn't fresh and make the egg white quite watery. Overall, all the dishes were mediocre and a bit below my expectations!

We found this place by googling 10 best places to eat in Kowloon. There were 2 on Mody Road and this was the first one we saw while walking around. It was about 8:45 PM and we were seated right away. The place was packed, very noisy more employees running around than you could shake a stick at. I didn't realize we should have ordered their famous peking duck until after we ordered but the food we had was delicious. Pork fried rice, beef with vegetables and steamed pork dumplings. We each had a glass of wine filled 1/3 full and when we ordered another they filled them to the very top of the rim! I also realized how lucky we were to get in without reservations because they could have easily turned us away. Service was fast and 3 or 4 people waited on us. If our tea was low, someone immediately filled it up. It was fancy too with cute little rests made of bone China to hold your chopsticks! If you're ever in Hong Kong, this is the place for authentic food and quite a fun dining experience. Just be sure to make a reservation!

I come here every time I go to Hong Kong. Staples are the Peking duck, shark fin soup, and egg whites with crab. I always eat the egg with a ton of vinegar. I love that the Peking duck is served with wraps instead of buns, I think that's the main source of my love for Spring Deer. The service is super friendly, despite how busy they always are. Definitely recommend making a reservation! IG: @thebrunchingbooth

I loveee eating Peking duck! But what's better than Peking duck buns? Peking duck wraps! I just prefer the steamed pancake wraps over the thick steamed buns that everyone can get from an asian grocery store's frozen section. There's a few places in Texas that I've had the wraps at, which is pretty good, but it wasn't as good as Spring Deer's. The roasted duck is carved table side for you to see and it comes out so perfect. The best thing of all is this location is pretty inexpensive. I highly recommend trying this place!

This was the first restaurant where we had our meal the evening we arrived in Hong Kong. We did even have any idea that it was one of the Top 10 restaurants in the area until we came back to the Philippines but oh man, the food spoke for it! Their dishes are so good! We tried their Sweet and Sour dishes and Wonton Soup among others and we were literally in cloud nine. The place is also cozy and there is a lot of movement so it might be easy to get distracted but I guess this is something normal in HK. Anyways, we have detailed our trip in HK in our page at https://deartravellingknot.wordpress.com/ so you can check out our video for more. One thing is certain though, the next time we visit HK, we will definitely eat in this restaurant again. Way to go Spring Deer!

** This review is really 1-2 stars at most but I'm giving bonus stars to make up for some of my white co-workers who were not exactly respectful to the wait staff.** This is not a place I would have found or tried on my own but my boss insisted they have the best Peking duck ever. EVER. and that we must go there for dinner. Dinner happened super late because the wait to get a table took forever. For a place that is literally a Peking duck factory, their Peking duck was not good. The wrappers were dry and hard, the flavour of the duck was barely there. Toronto has much better Peking duck.

One of the worst dining experiences I had in Hong Kong, in fact ever; with my family of 3 - two adults and one child age 9. We started dinner with 2 plates that were served to us; but we did not order, a plate of nuts and a plate of possibly cabbage that we were charged $15 HKD per person ($45 + $45). When we asked the waiter a few suggestions, he suggested that we order the Peking Duck - the whole duck -- For 2 adults and 1 child?? We decided to order something smaller primarily due to the time of day (8:30 pm) and we were quite certain that we would be unable to consume an entire duck! Our waiter stated several times, that we did not order enough food and that we need to order more food! As a result, my wife changed her order to a larger portion. As we should have expected from the first recommendation, the food was served and we wound up not being able to eat all of our food. I could go on. I will NEVER dine at this restaurant again, nor will I recommend it to my friends who will be in Hong Kong in June 2019!

One if the best Peking Duck I have had, Spring Deer restaurant is one of the oldest restaurant in town and this had been my regular place to go s8nce my childhood for Peking Duck. Other dishes are very good too such as their lamb and wonton chicken soup. Too bad they no longer has the begger chicken. This restaurant still keep their original decoration and their staffs mostly work there for a very long time. Thus coming here brings back some of my childhood memories as well.

**PEKING DUCK PEKING DUCK PEKING DUCK** Most logical place to go if you're craving Peking Duck in Hong Kong. ABOUT SPRING DEER =================== Tsim Sha Tsui's go-to restaurant for Northern Chinese food. Located upstairs on Mody Road just above a plethora of small shops dotting the street. AMBIANCE ========= Modest and authentic. Loud and busy. Large and bright fluorescent lights. FOOD ===== CORN AND CRAB SOUP We didn't order the famous shark fin soup, so opted for this one instead. They brought out a big-ass bowl for 2 people. Make sure it's a SMALL bowl. Soup was OK, not the greatest. A bit on the bland side. RATING: 3/5 MUSHROOMS (SIDE DISH) Nicely prepared and tasty. Nice assortment of mushrooms. RATING: 4/5 PEKING DUCK Easily one of the best Peking Ducks I have ever had. Meat was sweet and moist. Thin, crisp layer of skin covers a rich, soft, buttery layer of fat. Duck is carved in front of you and served with unlimited supplies of leeks and cucumber and steamed pancakes. RATING: 5/5 OVERALL ======== Packed full every night so reserve well in advance. Reasonably priced and the service is above average. Dinner for 2 was around $70 USD. RECOMMEND for those craving Peking Duck or braised lamb in Hong Kong.

It was one of the best original cuisine in Kowloon specialized in Peking duck. The restaurant is huge and pack. It costed us an average 25 USD person and honestly we were hungry and ate a lot. It was a bit pricey for HK but delicious.

If you come here, you must order their duck. If not, take your money somewhere else. The duck was one of the best I've ever had. Skin was crispy, duck had the right amount of fat and served with homemade pancakes which was delicious. The chefs carve the duck in front of you and is served with pancakes, cucumbers and onion. They took the leftover duck bones for duck soup! We also ordered other plates such as kung pao shrimp, shredded beef and another dish which were all mediocre. Not very impressive because I've had better in the States. Hence, must order the duck if you come because other dishes may be disappointing. The dessert was apple fritters which was unique as they're served with a dish of ice water. The serve put the apple fritters into the ice water so the sugar coating solidifies and it becomes crunchy. What a treat!

Craving a little duck pancake? Head to Spring Deer... Now, I can't say this is the best duck I've ever had, but it is certainly one of the top contenders for a tasty dinner in TST. The duck itself is greasy (as it should be) but a bit fatty (a shame). The pancakes are homemade, but they were a bit thicker than I would have liked. As for the "sides" we had a group of 13 duck lovers, and squished round a table we had a raucous time munching our way through Kung Pao Prawns, Egg White and Crab Meat, "Pretty Fish" - basically a boneless fish drowning in sweet and sour sauce (my least favourite), sweet and sour pork, bean curd with mince pork (really tasty) and shredded chicken with bean sheets in sesame sauce plus your standard round of veggies. As you can see we had quite a few dishes, some super tasty and some less so - hey, you can't be good at everything! If you're at Spring Deer, you're probably here for the duck, which for the price is the best in town. If you're still hungry after filling up on mains, may I suggest the banana fritters. They come with a side dish of ice water. This is great between course entertainment with the game "can you pick up an ice cube with chopsticks?". Up the ante and do a local vs. expat competition... But back to the bananas. You'll see your server dip the delicious sweet treats into the ice water to solidify the gooey sugar coating. Great fun for all.

Peking duck - only sold in 1 size: large whole duck! Be prepared. They came right up to the table to carve, but of the entire thing, they carved out maybe two dozen pretty think pieces and then took the duck completely away. I was surprised by that but we should've thought to have them cook it maybe 2 or 3 ways (which we did at the Hyatt Sha Tin and that was amazing!). We also got aTofu dish which was amazing and a couple of vegetable dishes which were good. You can tell they throw fat into the sauce just to give things flavor - i'm a huge fan of that. Service was very friendly and efficient. Make sure you have reservations.

Located on the 2/f up some steep stairs/ or take the lift. Pretty shady surroundings but the restaurant was a pleasant surprise! Reminiscent of traditional Chinese Restaurants of yesteryears. Service was pretty good, with the waiter stopping us from over ordering. Food was pretty good and reasonably priced.

4.5 stars bumped up for a most legit, local find in Tsim Sha Tsui per my cousin's recommendation. While all the dishes were well executed, the highlights were definitely the peking duck and shark's fin soup. The former was cut in a way that included generous pieces of breast with the subcutaneous fat and crispy skin and we all agreed that the handmade wraps were excellent and much preferred over the classic steamed buns. That shark's fin...the most ginormous I'd ever seen and immersed in a broth that had nothing but essence of shark. Such a nice change of pace from the corn starch thickened versions I'd eaten time and time again when I was younger. The place is pretty no frills and there isn't a whole lot of walking space between tables. But the food, where it mattered most, totally delivered!

Very disappointed by the Peking duck here even tho it is the most famous dish at this restaurant. First off, you must order the whole duck making it super difficult to order anything else for a party of two. The duck tasted average, a bit dry and flavourless. However, the service is good.

If you are craving a good duck pancake then this is a great place to go. Although not the best duck I have had in Hong Kong, it is pretty good for decent price. The restaurant itself is pretty accommodating as we had originally booked for 10 but turned up with 13 and they were able to squeeze us around their table. The duck here comes to your table to get carved, for some reason they dont carved all of it off and the carcas (which to be honest I would totally pick clean) sadly gets taken back to the kitchen never to be seen again. The duck itself is a good amount of greasy although I found it a little fattier than it should be. The pancakes are homemade but a bit thick and stodgy. Still the satisfied my hunger for the duck pancake! We ordered quite a few side dishes including Kung Pow shrimp (which isn't as spicey as you would think, even I could eat it), egg white and crab meat (one of my favs), sweet and sour pork, mabo tofu, shredded chicken with bean sheets in sesame sauce, 'pretty fish" (which is a whole fish drizzled in sweet and sour sauce, and it's delicious), with an assortment of veges. Some dishes are of course better than others but with 13 people everybody has different tastes and no one went away complaining. For dessert they do deep fried banana fritters which they cover in syrup and dump them in ice cold water in front of you to make the syrup crunchy. They were pretty good. Even though the servers are dressed up in suits the atmosphere is still pretty rowdy. They didn't seem to mind our particularly rowdy table! I will definitely come here again.

The duck is awesome. The pancakes are very homemade and stretchy. The sauces are spot on and the service is very friendly.

Nobody told me and my best friend about the carryout containers. Meaning, we didn't see a single person walking away with any sort of paper box and people weren't leaving food on their plates, so somehow we convinced ourselves that it was rude to take leftover Peking duck home from Spring Deer. We were young, we were dumb, and we had a hard time not making up local rules to each other. At that point, I had already done one business trip in Hong Kong and the mainland which meant I was wined and dined at all sorts of elaborate buffets by our vendors. And nowhere had I seen people take food home. So, I may have been the first idiot to start spreading the lie at our table for two. When we were about to order the Peking duck we came for, I may have literally turned to my best friend and said, "hope you brought a big appetite because we can't take anything back to the hotel with us." Not to be outdone, she may have rolled her eyes and said, "everybody knows that." Basically, we were sitting in our own echo chamber of stupidity. We didn't yet know we were in trouble when we first saw the gleaming, bronzed beast wheeled out in our direction. If I recall correctly (and why would I lie?), the cart was buckling and its little caster wheels were squealing under the weight of our impending feast. The waiter parked the cart next to our table. The duck was sexy as hell. I'm not one to fetishize my food, but the big reveal, when the waiter lifted the platter to show off the curvy duck to us, was quite burlesque. We instinctively knew that good times lay ahead. The next hour in our story gets a little foggy. I remember for a fact that we dug in like champions and the feeding frenzy began on an high note. We were busy connecting the dots between the four plates of duck flesh, pancake, scallions and sweet bean sauce. We had a good rhythm going. Both the meat and the crackling skin lived up to the hype of what we thought this centuries-old recipe should taste like. Every once in a while, I would bite into a piece that was fattier than the rest and instead of taking pause, I delighted in the gushing feel of fragrant duck juice in my mouth. Personally, I couldn't get enough. Or so I thought. Just as they say that all that comes up must then come down, I'm sure there's an old wise saying that goes roughly like this: "your stomach has a limit, fatty." I don't think we were even halfway through the platter of carved meat when the warning bells started going off for the both of us. We were slowing down but nothing verbal had passed between us yet. I mean, who wants to be the rude American who complains about a local custom? And so we entered the phase of the power-through. My best friend, a health-conscious nut who starts mentally sweating when she misses a workout, and I, a natural born glutton, decided that the platter must be wiped clean. What the hell was wrong with us? At a certain point, I think we knew that the sauce, pancakes and the veg would be left behind but we would put away as much meat as we could. I'm sure there's a force-feeding duck joke about irony or something to that effect just lurking here, but it's too easy. We were literally gorging ourselves on duck. It was unseemly. I know we reached the point where we couldn't eat anymore. And then we slowly crept past it. It got to the point where we had only four pieces left. That, I remember for a fact. Four lonely pieces hung out on the platter but we couldn't eat 'em for all the money in the world. We were officially done. At that point, wouldn't you know it, our waiter re-appeared. I must make note of the fact that they don't spoil you with over-hovering service at Spring Deer. After he made quick work of carving up our duck, our waiter basically disappeared for the duration of the meal. And do you know what our waiter brought to our table when he showed back up? Along with our check? Of course you do. It was a freaking takeout container. Because, after all, Hong Kong is a goddamn metropolis and they don't expect two lovely young women to polish off a whole damn duck that was intended for a group of six to seven people. I don't think we even had the strength to laugh at that point. We lifted our fat asses out of the chairs and wobbled our way back to the hotel. The next morning, the duck was still there in the room. My best friend wanted nothing to do with it and I'm sure she was feverishly planning the longest hike in history of hikes that would take up our entire day. Anything to get that duck out of our system. Me? I quietly ate the four pieces for breakfast and thought they were quite delightful. Over a decade has passed since The Duck Incident and I've had worse and better Peking duck than the one my best friend and I split at Spring Deer in Hong Kong. But very few have left such a lasting impression. Gonna go call my bestie right now and when she picks up, I'll just go "quack, quack!"

Ok so we heard this is where you can get the best Peking Duck in Hong Kong. Excellent service, chef comes out and slices the Peking Duck right in front of you, we started with egg rolls which were awesome. Wasn't crazy about the Duck though, place was very clean and waiter was friendly and in no rush to kick us out when we lingered for another half hour after paying the bill.

Well I've had a lot of Peking duck in my life and this is definitely not in the 5 star range. Yes the ducks have a lot of meat on the bone but they were really fatty. Quick note is that the Carver does leave quite a bit of meat on the bone and you can request to take away the carcass to eat the rest of the meat at home. The pastries were made at the restaurant but they weren't as nice as the ones you get processed at the factory, add they were really rough. Food is generally greasy but pretty tasty. Judging from the amount of people trying to get in for dinner it is important to book in advance. I booked on the day with no problems for a table at 830 and they said to arrive at 815 to ensure I snap up a table. This is very sound as I saw lots of reservation cards at their counter and I think it's pretty much first choice first served even if you have made a booking. If you order the Buns, go for the silver shredded ones rather than mantou as they are sweeter and also people usually order the eel dish to dip the Buns into. Note: they charge for appetizers and tea per head. I thinks it's $10hk each.

One thing I wanted to eat before leaving Hong Kong was the peking duck. I never had peking duck in Hong Kong before (only China) so I really did not know what to expect. Based on reviews, it seemed pretty good. When we first got here, the host told us we had until 7:30 to eat. We came here around 6PM so that was plenty of time for us, especially since we were just ordering the peking duck and nothing else because some of us already ate prior to this. We literally waited 45 minutes to an hour for the peking duck to be served to us....by this time we only had half an hour to eat. I wouldn't have minded if the peking duck was amazing, but the dough (yeah dough....not even a crepe like it should've been) was a complete disaster. It was thick and looked like it was made clumsily. The dough was definitely still raw too and I didn't question it until I ate it. It smelled raw too....not that eating raw dough can kill you, but the fact that the crepe wasn't even close to what it should have been. The only saving grace was the duck. It was cooked perfectly and enjoyed it very much. I ended up just dipping the sliced duck into the sauce, which was still not that satisfying considering we paid over $500 HKD for this. I honestly don't recommend this place until someone else tells me this was just a bad day for them

This place has been around for 40+ years. I remember going there when I was a kid. It is an old-school shop, but very good working duck and soy chicken. Surprising very strong AC for those hot and humid days.

I did not have a reservation, walked in around 830pm and the rude manly hostess turned me away. I would have had no problem being turned away if the man-hostess was graceful about it, there are no words to explain how rude she was. Go somewhere else where they care about the customers.

Spring Deer is the destination for Peking duck in Hong Kong (at least according to the locals). Ever since I had some fine Peking duck at a couple of restaurants claiming to be the original in Beijing, I've looked long and hard for a repeat. Most Peking duck I've had are adequate. It's not all that hard to roast a duck. Spring Deer has a huge sign on the corner of the street, but the actual entrance is rather obscure -- mid-block on the ground floor, up a tight staircase. This restaurant must be on some tourist guide book as half the patrons seemed to be wide-eyed Americans like me. I happened to have the good fortune of getting locals to guide me. The dining room itself is spacious, probably accommodating 16-20 rounds of 6-8 people each. Like many buildings of 1970s vintage, the ceiling was palpably low, no more than 7 foot high in many places. This accentuated the awkwardness of the foreigner presence. We ordered one duck and some veggies and a fried noodle. It wasn't much food for four, but having stuffed myself every couple of hours trying to sample everything that Hong Kong had to offer, I wasn't all that hungry. While the sides are predictably forgettable, the main event is the duck. A master carver brought two ducks table side on a cart. With smooth, deft slices of his knife, he quickly carved down our duck into a plate of bite size slices of gleaming duck skin and flesh. The remaining carcass was almost wholly stripped of any meat. His incredible efficiency made for a rather mesmerizing show. Doubtless, that level of expertise comes from carving up tens of thousands of ducks, as I watched him repeat the process over 20 times during dinner. Our tuxedoed waiter presented the duck along with ensuring that service is delivered to old school standards. The duck was accompanied by hoisin sauce, onion and cucumber sticks, and some cold flat dough wrap. After putting together one wrap out of habit, I realized how ridiculous it was to overwhelm the wonderful smokiness of the duck with mediocre pairings. It's as sacrilegious as the whole concept of putting wasabi on delicate raw fish or mixing soda into top shelf liquor. I decided to have the duck straight up and never looked back. The accompaniments made for savory veggie wraps. For dessert, our waiter brought out what looked like glazed donut holes and a bowl of ice water. I got schooled when he dunked them into the ice water to quench them for a crispy sugar crust. They were deep fried apple slices. The five of us tabbed out at $114 ($880HK) with service charge, a pretty good value and worth a trip.

Came here a few years ago with the family on vacation. Service is typical Hong Kong Service so its pretty good. The Roast Goose was very memorable. I don't know why they don't serve more goose stateside. It is awesome! Think crispy skin and succulent meat - not unlike roast duck - but BIGGER. As a group of four we had TWO, but one should be enough.

I read all the reviews and decided I needed to check this place out. I had no reservation and the restaurant was really busy. They found us a nice table. The wait staff was ready to take care of us. We ordered the duck (this is why you go here!), a spicy shrimp dish and a stir fried vegetable dish. The shrimp came out first. I would swear that they had been ready in the kitchen before we ordered them. As for spicy, there is a certain degree of spicy for each individual. They could have been spicier for my liking. The vegetable dish was tasty. My colleague felt they were not fresh. Apparently my tongue cannot discern that. The duck came out and it was a big one. The duckchef did not present it to us but started slicing away. When the plates were put on the table I was ready. As other reviewers have said, the pancakes are made in the restaurant and are a little thick. This was not a problem. I do have to say the duck was not the best one I have ever had. One reviewer said that their ducks tend to be on the fatty side. yes it was. My feeling is that since it was later in the night and they go through so many ducks it needed more cooking. The skin, which is a favorite of mine, was not real crispy and tasty (see fat duck not cooked enough). I can only assume this as the other reviewers have spoken highly of this restaurant. Will I give it a second try? Maybe!

Simply amazing.

My first time here. Food was good, above average. Place was crowded. We were a big group of 15 and we all sat squished together in one round table. Dress warm especially if you're afraid of the cold and have kids because the a/c is pretty strong here. We choose a set dinner menu Service was efficient and food came out at a good pace. Seems like Peking duck is one of their specialties. We had two ducks and it was carved at the tableside. It was good but I found the duck to be a bit on the greasy side. Lots of fat on the meat. Not crazy about the pancake that you took the duck in. The grease would soak the pancake and cause it to break apart. Veggies that go along with the Peking duck was on the sparse side. Wish they provided more so the it would help balance out the greasiness of the duck. I would definitely recommend this restaurant. If you plan on going here, I highly suggest you reserve in advance.

Spring Deer Restaurant, Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon, HK: If you are in Hong Kong and looking for Peking Duck. This is ground zero. The food is truly superb and as authentic a Chinese meal as you'll find in HK. Without question my favorite restaurant in that city. Watching the waiter carve the duck with a cleaver in the traditional style is all part of the fun. Pancakes, plum sauce, etc, etc. Put this on your HK agenda and after dinner, walk over to the Peninsula and have a martini and cigar at Felix. What a wonderful authentic HK evening. Have fun kids...!

Our hotel recommended this restaurant for Peking duck. We find the peking duck to be dry and tasteless. It was around $70 usd for a duck and you have to order a whole one. Way overpriced for what it is.

Their roast duck is the best. It is the great pairing with their homemade sauce and package. Service is not bad as other ppl said about it.

Low key spot mainly filled with locals. The restaurant ambiance isn't anything special, but it doesn't have to be when the food is out of this world. The Peking duck is a MUST HAVE! It is cooked to perfection and carved table side. The service is excellent also. Come hungry as the portions are nice sized. Very reasonably priced for Hong Kong. Definitely check this place out for a true feel of local food.

They are specialized in Peking Duck and do that in perfect form. Authentic as it can be. Well worth a visit.

Good authentic peeking duck, little on fatty side. Service is effective but typical for Hong Kong. Have hotel make reservations as there will be a wait even with reservations.

Not so sure the ratings should be as high as they are. The duck was greasy, very, and I've had my fair share of duck. People are nice but the restaurant is a 3 star at best. It would get a 2.5 if not for the friendliness.

Great place for peking duck in tsim sha tsui area, been there for a long time and is the go to spot for it on the kowloon side. They serve beijing food here and they have many other great authentic dishes here. Very crowded and low cielings make it loud so brush up on your cantonese you might need it.
