Not super impressed for the price tag. It was decent tasting food but nothing special
Had the pork hook/shank it was very flavorful, the oxtail soup was more like a bouillon which was unexpected but well executed, definitely will be back for the duck.
Meizhou Dongpo restaurant is one of my favorite restaurants for spicy Sichuan food while I was working in Beijing. Named after one of the oldest area in Sichuan province, the restaurant serves family style Sichuan food. I’ve always seen long lines in front of their restaurants. I remember they opened their first restaurant when I was sent to Beijing to work there in 1996.The food they served were excellent at the time when Sichuan food was ranked very low in Beijing due to its homey style of cooking. In early days, Beijing people don’t eat too spicy food. Over time, Meizhou Dong po adopted less spicy cooking and became one of the most popular restaurants in Beijing. They were the first restaurant implemented ISO 9000 quality management in the restaurant business to manage their 12 restaurants and 7,000 employees.The Arcadia location is a new addition which opened its door few years ago in the Arcadia mall. The restaurants in North America deployed plush interior design catering high end clientele. While majority of dinings are done in the open area, the restaurant also offers many private rooms to add prestige in dining entertainment.In addition to the traditional Sichuan dishes on the menu, the restaurant added Peking duck dish which became their anchored dish for the restaurant.For our lunch today, we ordered half a Peking Duck for two of us and a popular Mapo tofu as well as a Dan Dan noodle dish.The duck was excellently roasted with crispy skins. This dish very much matched the Peking duck flavor and texture I had in Beijing. Although the tofu and the Dan Dan noodle were very authentic, they were too spicy for me. I don’t remember having such a spicy flavor for these dishes back in their Beijing restaurants.Overall, the food are good especially the Peking duck. The prices are definitely on the high side for Sichuan food.
We ordered roast duck(half) and squirrel fish. I'd say it's quite authentic Chinese taste!!! Service is nice as well. 1 star deducted because we tried to order scallop with garlic and bean vermicelli at the first however they didn't serve it today although it's the recommended dish.
A little pricey, but they serve the best peking duck & sweet & sour fish !
Was not impressed with the price, quality and taste of the food. I ordered 3 dishes and it was over $60 which is really expensive.#1 Dan Dan noodle was size of a small rice bowl . Lack flavor#2 bamboo shoot was tough and chewy#3 chili chicken had 50% filler with French friesFor the price they shouldn’t be so stingy on the quality and quantity of the foodI probably wouldn’t want to go again unless they make some significant changes
So much variety, very different textures and flavors than I’ve tried in the past. Presentation of the actual meal vs the stock photo was something to be wondered so may have changed my rating
We came here labor day Sunday, so it was a little busy.We ordered, pork bun, wonton soup, sautéed steak and water spinach.Overall the food was delicious and satisfying I love the taste of the wonton soup very simple and clean, although I expected there portions to be bigger, since its the usual for most of sit down Chinese restaurants, my soup was in a small cup and that cost 7.99 I believe...this place is a lil pricey, but nevertheless we enjoyed the food. The pork bun was sooo soft and flavorful too.I took off one star because the water spinach took so long we had to cancel the order... and we waited a long time to get my husband's sautéed steak too....This place is known for their duck, I would like to try that next time...
Friendly service, tasty authentic Northern Chinese food.
Staff was nice and attentive. The food was pricey but tasty
