Peking Garden (Central) — Restaurant in Hong Kong

I visited this FORSAKEN PLACE a few days ago with my family. We ordered a whole duck that costs around 520ish HKD(Hong Kong Dollar) and another dish that uses a part of the first dish and its cost was something like 180HKD. It took like more than 30mins for the first dish to come out. The cook brought the whole duck and its size was twice of normal whole chicken. However, since it was not cut, we told the cook that we ordered a second dish that uses the part of the duck. Then the cook took the dish back into kitchen and we received a dish of sliced duck, the sum of which was like one in tenth of the whole duck that the cook brought out. So we expected that the rest will come out in the second dish. When the second dish came out after another 30mins, we were HORRIFIED BY WHAT WE SAW. The sum of the duck in the second dish was about the size of 10 year old kid fist!! We asked the waiters where the rest of the duck was but they just put on such a innocent faces and said that the rest were BONES and things that cannot be eaten. (R U KIDDING????) Obviously, we start complaining about the situation to each other and of course, one of the waiter came and ask if we were going to order some dessert(??????). Without a hint of question, we said NO and continue complaining among ourselves about this FRAUD ACTION. The waiter that was supposed to look after us took our dish WITHOUT ASKING US. IN ADDITION, WE DID NOT EVEN FINISH EATING!!!!!! We complained a lot about the situation but they did not give us any reduction in cost DESPITE HOW BAD THE SERVICE WAS AND HOW FRAUD THE AMOUNT OF THE FOOD WAS. THE TASTE WAS NOT THAT GREAT EITHER!!!. I would strongly recommend that you guys go to another Duck Restaurant. THEIR PRIORITY IS JUST ABOUT $$$$ and THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THAT WHAT THEY SAY IS WHAT YOU WILL GET!!! My Actual score is -1000000!!!! I just had a Duck BBQ with my family and its cost was like...

We went to Peking Garden for birthday dinner the other day. And everything just look soooo good and we ordered A LOT! For the cold plates we ordered a 10 small dishes platters which looks amazing and they have included both meats and vegetarian? vegan? dishes in it. For the main we ordered Kung Pao Prawn, Peking Duck FOR SURE, fish maw chieken soup with wonton, Sea Cucumber and Xiao Long Bao is a MUST. For the Kung Pao Prawns it was huge and amazing, sweet and spicy tasted nice! And when the peking duck arrived they showed you the whole duck before they cut it and it just looks sooo shiny but poor duck haha For me I like to have soup all the time and fish maw is usually pricey but here this whole pot of soup is like four hundred something?? Which is a good deal for mee, loving it! And for the sea cucumber, I think its a very collagen-y kinda food for me which I am not a big fan of. So I’ll pass. At last our Xiao Long Bao entered the chat and it was AMAZING. We waited for a min or two until we eat it as we assumed it will be boiling hot inside. With the soup having crab meat in it it just helped with the flavor and everything. It was the right thing to eat to end your meal. The staff were sooo nice they even gave us 2 pretty peach buns as birthday gift as well. But we were so full already we couldn’t even finish the birthday cake we brought, so. BTW shoutout to the staff, they changed our plates between dishes I felt privileged and they were so nice helping us with food and wine and everything as well. Turns out they also have like a bar manager there to help with alcoholic drinks and helped us to pick wine as well. What a lovely...

I have been a patron at this restaurant for as long as I can remember, but sadly in the last 5 years or so I have noticed a ‘nosedive’ in all aspects of its qualities. It’s sad to see this and I am not a person who writes a review for the sake of it. I hope the management reads this and is able to understand that even tourists know what quality is if they have visited of quality restaurants in Hong Kong and well as across the border in Shenzhen. I shall say no more. We ordered a mango prawn dish which prawns turned out to be old and chewy……really this is not expected of a restaurant of this calibre. The Mandarin fish (Chinese name used in the menu) which is a quintessential fish dish of the Shanghai / Suzhou region, came up as a fillet without the head or tail. We returned it, as we felt shortchanged. The Chinese are used to seeing this fish plated as a whole fish, with head and tail intact, and in a dramatic and glorious curving gesture. This was every but. The Peking duck was so-so, and I have tasted much better in other restaurants in Hong Kong. To end this, the service was dry, unattentive and the kitchen and service staff could barely cope with serving in a timely fashion. They were struggling to say the least. Anyway the only surprise we had was the amount on the bill, which we wouldn’t have minded at all for a restaurant of such calibre. However there we see its disconnection with the lack of quality in the food and the service. Maxims, the group that runs this chain of restaurants should take note for the sake of its...
