I came here to say this is probably one of the best Chinese food I had in a while. First, the servers and waiters were very professional and passionate. Second, I have lived in LA for 2 years and have tried many places but this place, the food was scrumptious. The duck was warm and crispy and it came with the pancakes. The shrimp fried rice was a decent portion. The classic dong po pork was the perfect amount of tenderness and the meat and fat ratio was exactly what I needed. Their seafood was another huge thing I would recommend because their crab was live crab, the meat was so fresh and had a sweet taste to it. Lastly, the sweet and sour fish was a huge portion and we didn’t finish it but it was so good we packed the rest of it to go. I would 10/10 recommended to friends and family. Price may be high but it is definitely worth it.PS the atmosphere was very artistic and historical.

The stars were based on what we experienced and ordered that day. Personally, the duck here is better than Ji Rong in Rosemead, so was the service. Duck is smaller than those of Ji Rong. Here, duck was cut table-side, whereas, it was pre-cut at JR. The duck skin at Meizhonu has more meat attached to it, which is also how I would prefer. The skin was moist and crispy! The meat was more tender and juicy than JR (I found the skin & meat at JiRong were dry and cold). We also ordered the combo where the rest of duck bones & meat would be cooked in soup and a salt & pepper fried version. Soup was delicious, not the over-salt bouillon soup base. Also I really like the Dongpo pork belly w/ preserved veggies (梅菜扣肉), best in town, and it would make you ask for more rice to finish up the sauce & veggies. Boiled fish (水煮魚) & sausage were tasty too! I also love their shrimps with scallions. Service was fine dining-esque.Best to park near Macy.

We love the Peking duck wrap! So delicious. Their beef tomato soup is also highly recommended. The scallops on the shell is another great dish to try.

- Ate here for Chinese New Year and the service was top notch.- Hella expensive but it’s worth it.- Duck cooked 3 ways were absolutely delicious.- Mongolian beef is juicy and tender- A-Chai was average, but it was crispy.- Kung Pao Chicken was Kung POW!- Sweet & Sour Fish left sweet memories in my heart- Fish with Preserved Vegetables was chef’s kiss. It’s just right spicy and sour.- The Rice Ball dessert is expensive, considering you only get 2 pieces but damn it, it was delicious and the soup was so comforting to drink.

Like to bring my parents here to eat, the food here is always tasty, although the servers here mainly speak chinese/Taiwanese? And only a handful of them speak English, but their service is still exceptional.

I don’t think going to this restaurant after the mall was a good idea but honestly everything else was fine until they brought out the food, it wasn’t so good as it looked. The orange chicken was horrible, once my other friends tried the food, one of my friends said that she ate a burnt part of a chicken and went to the restroom after. Once she came back, she said that she had diarrhea and vomiting. Also the tofu was to salty. I’m sorry but I don’t recommend Dongpo. Everything else was ok and we didn’t try anything more than that.

The Beijing roast duck was warm and delicious, and the spicy chili chicken was very tender. The service was excellent and on time for water refill. Overall, I would recommend it and definitely will come again.
Serrano beef pepper: 2.8/5 Roast duck sliders: 2.75/5 Stir fried bamboo shoots: 4/5 Setting/interior: 4/5 Customer service: 3/5 Serrano beef pepper was okay... it wasn't bad.. in and of itself, it's a decent dish... not my favorite but...it does taste like homemade cooking... I guess we kind of just hyped it a bit much to ourselves and it fell short of our expectations but it's not a bad dish. Definitely overpriced though. Roast duck slider wasn't the best... in one of the sliders, the duck meat was pretty bad... like they took the left overs from other duck dishes to make our little 3 sliders with since it's not worth it to them to use an actual new duck for just a few pieces of sliders which I can understand but damn at least be fresh... disappointing dish. Best dish we got was the stir fry bamboo shoots... delicious, savory, hearty... that served along with rice can be a meal in and of itself... Customer service wasn't bad... at least they speak English and care about their jobs... but once the food came out, they didn't really come around anymore. Had to flag them down a few times but they were good sport about it (just like we were)... It did take forever for the Roast duck sliders to come out (truthfully they probably forgot about it until we reminded them) but it finally did come out at the end... and if you've read this far then you know how that turned out. I wouldn't go out if my way to come eat here... but if I'm in the area and wanting some authentic food, I don't mind coming back... it'd be nice to try some of the other dishes since they have a pretty great menu... and the wine wasn't bad.

I forgot to leave a review for Meizhou DongPo. It's a high end place and very sophisticated ambiance. Food especially the Peking Duck was beautifully presented. There were six of us and since I only ordered half Duck we need to go back.
Nice food and service. Better taste compared to other Meizhoudongpo place. Highly recommend.

OK this spot is really good! My family came here and we ordered a bunch of dishes, and every single one of them was phenomenal. The service was excellent. The waiter kept filling up my cup of tea. every time he walked by asking us if we needed anything else. They were very polite. I'm actually surprised it didn't have five stars. We actually came here to go to Dai Fung but that wait was 2 1/2 hours and we were probably happier coming here than we would've been at Din Tai Fung as good as that place is.
