Came here last Sunday night due for a Peking duck craving. Read numerous highly positive posts and blogs about this place so we were expecting nothing but the best Peking duck in Sydney, how so wrong were we. Duck was very punctual as we preordered during the week (this was the only highlight of all other things) and was carved next to the main entrance door which we found a bit strange. Anyways to cut a long story short the duck was bland and didn't ooze out any flavour (Gordon Ramsay's wrinkly forehead would truly be utterly depressed). This is typical of not roasting it without enough internal spices. Skin was not crispy and duck was carved with more meat than skin 20:80 ratio. The carvin...
This place is not pretty. The decor is 1950s laminex. The service is somewhat offhand and disinterested.So why come all the way to Enfield? It is the best Peking Style Duck that will get this side of Beijing. The duck meat is crispy on the outside and succulent on the inside(as it should be). You also get a WHOLE duck( many places rip you off by only giving you part and charge you for a whole one).The duck meat comes sliced by the chef, and with pancakes and condiments. Next comes shredded duck meat as sang choy bow( ie meat in lettuce cups) and finally the remaining carcasse and bones as a soup. Now this place is no palace, the only menu items are ordinary BUT the duck is special. Do call a...
My Go To Place for Peking Duck in Chinese New Year, the hidden gem for one of the Best Peking Duck in Sydney (or NSW). The place does not look like it opens, but enter the door, as long as the OPEN sign is on. Do not expect fancy venue, fancy food nor fancy treatment. You shall be greeted with its honest owner, David, whom speaks fluent English as well as Mandarin. A few useful tips: 1. Please order your duck 24-48 hours prior to dine in. 2. You are expected to come on time. 3. If you are late and not letting them know, your duck may be given away to another table. Good Value for Money, their ducks do not smell like any other ducks and instead of San Choy Bau or Noodles, they make the 2nd c...
You must make booking for the Peking Duck else walk in can't have it. I found the duck skin not crispy enough, more like roast duck. Duck flesh not chewy maybe it's caged duck. Taste alright, price for the duck is $70 include duck soup with Chinese cabbage. Have to add $1 for additional cucumber/sauce. Braised beef tenderloin taste so so.

We initially underestimated how many pancakes, sauce, cucumber, and shallots we would need with the duck, so we ended up spending more money to get extra. While the restaurant's presentation and menu design were nothing special, the friendly service and incredible food more than made up for any shortcomings in decor.
If you are of Asian descent, this restaurant is likely the best value for your money and has the best Peking duck and sides. However, if you are not Asian, you may perceive it as a lower quality establishment because it does not offer dishes like sweet and sour pork or honey chicken. Overall, I highly recommend it.
This is one of the few restaurants opened during the long holiday we were very lucky because they had great food and my family really love it. We ordered almost half of the menu and the sweet and sour chicken was my favorite. Vegetables for my taste was a bit bland for my Filipino taste buds.
Overall, this place has really good quality Peking roast duck, and the pancake wrappers are awesome. You can have a plate of the duck bones with the remaining meat carved up and served on a plate, take the bones home for more soup, or have soup made to drink at the end of the meal.

The appearance of this restaurant may be simple and outdated, but don't be deceived - it serves the most authentic roast duck dish in Sydney. Make sure to book in advance to secure your order of this delicious dish.
The whole Peking duck came served complete with the head which had been chopped in half.
