Dayali Beijing Roast Duck

Nice and fancy place and food were all good

We aren't experts when it comes to Northern Chinese cuisine but the whole experience at this restaurant is memorable. Very clean, spacious, bright & beautiful dining experience. The staff are helpful with choosing menu items for newbies; you have to be a bit patient due to language barriers to communicate what you want/what they suggest, etc. We don't speak Mandarin and our order came out perfect. Portion to price ratio is reasonable. These flavours are not our personal preferences but we definitely appreciated the authenticity and experience of this restaurant, i.e. you can taste the care and cultural history in the dishes. Re the peking duck, the skin is light, crispy, and delicious - it's true we personally prefer Cantonese peking duck, but the Northern Chinese cook/flavours/preparation here is worth a try. Pig ear dish was yummy with a good amount of spicy heat. The hot pear drink is also highly recommended; was a nice treat and apparently good for health too :)

Okay at best, nothing special at all - in my opinion, not worth the visit. This location specialises in Peking Duck but there was nothing exceptional about their roast. Also, unlike most other restaurants, this place doesn't serve the duck 2 ways - just sliced and served.Do not order the scallops - premium price for suspect quality and below average execution.Side dishes were okay as well.Tldr: go somewhere else
