succulent duck
I have been to the Peking Duck House two times now, both times ordering only the $40 Peking Duck. My review ratings are based solely on the duck experience. While the duck is definitely pricey, it is quite succulent. Also, you are paying for a quiet and more upscale dining experience than your average Chinatown eatery. I would definitely agree with the other reviewer that mentioned the lack of crispiness in the skin. It's good, but not entirely crispy. In my opinion though, the flavor and moistness of the duck more than makes up for the lack of skin crisp.

East meets West
From the moment you walk in, you feel like you're not in Chinatown anymore. We asked for house soup which was acknowledged with a blank stare. We ordered the triple delight, crispy duck, and ribeye which were all too bland. We actually had to ask for chopsticks and water and were initially only given half a portion of rice. The food was overpriced and did not sit well with me at all. Do yourself a favor and take your money and your stomach elsewhere.

good food but...
loved the peking duck but I think it is a ripoff that they carve the meat off the duck and then bring the duck with most of the small pieces of meat on it back to the kitchen. the duck they give you is delicious but there was probably 2 or 3 times as much meat still on the bones. it may not be civilized but the meat you eat right off the bone is the best part!

Nothing is calling me back...
We were group of 8. Our total came to $420. Each put $53 for this meal. We had Duck specials.The duck was dry and bland. The hoisin sauce was watery and missing some flavor. The cucumber and scallions were not cut fine. The thin crepe was good but I prefer to eat with buns. Sauteed broccoli was okay but it was not Chinese broccoli. String beans were tasty. Eggplant with garlic sauce was okay. Fried Sliced Prawns was okay but the batter was too thick.

SO MUCH FOOD!
I went with a big group, so we had Banquet style. It was about an 8 course meal. Food Overload! From dumplings, to spring rolls, the signature duck, lemon shrimp, orange chicken, veggies, etc...I have never been so full in my life. The duck was tasty, the skin was not as crispy as I hoped. The service was great. We just sat down and they served dish after dish after dish. It was about $48/person, so a great value for the amount of food.

a mixture of good and bad
if you go here, go for lunch. they have a chili prawn dish (only on their lunch menu) that is GREAT. the prawns are huge and you get a lot of it. the price is reasonable for the lunch menu, at least. yes the service could use some improvement. we've had to ask numerous times for extra rice. we've ordered 3 of the same dish but received only 1 order of rice that can only fill 2 people. the chili prawn dish is the only reason we've gone back so many times, highly recommended.
