If you're inclined to try their duck, reserve online beforehand. Luckily, we were able to for a same day reservation at 5 pm! The option to choose only half a duck for two people was in Chinese so I had to use Google Translate to decipher their online system. The restaurant itself is on the second floor of a non-descript building with a small reception. Once at the restaurant, ask and they'll hand you an English menu with the types of duck sets (half and whole), different options for each course, and other dishes (which we didn't bother to get seeing as the set was plenty). You'll need to ask explicitly for their help with ordering in English as they'll assume you know how to read and order their online menu via QR code, which is all in Chinese. We went with a trio of pickled vegetables for our appetizer. The cucumber, cabbage, and mushrooms were delicious. We also chose the three treasures, which is duck wing and innards prepared 2 ways. These eventually went well with our additional duck leftover of rice porridge. We chose radish cakes, again a crowd favourite and then another pork fried cake, but this was one fried dish too many. I would have opted for a soup or vegetables instead. You can ask them to prepare duck leftovers a number of ways for an additional NTD150, which came as a surprise since we've been to other restaurants that simply have this option included in the set. However, having this additional can be a good thing. Everything on the set was a lot for two people and we had to get our leftovers packed. Had we known, we would have refrained from the leftover duck option since we weren't very hungry to begin with. The duck skin and sugar was of the best kind, melt in your mouth, crunchy, fatty, and delectable. Sliced in front of you, the duck meat itself was very well spiced and seasoned, only slightly tender and laced with a layer of skin. It was served with a chorus of dipping sauces and I enjoyed the passionfruit the most. For drinks we opted for the foamy milk tea, admittedly the best we've tasted in Taipei, and a cold Oolong tea. Service was efficient and a bit hands-off, which can be intimidating. As English speakers, we had to ask for help a few times and the server who eventually did was helpful, quick, and gracious. If by the end of the meal you realise that you've ordered too much, they'll happily pack the food for you to take back to your hotel. In all, this was one of our best meals in Taipei. Several courses of delicious local dishes, sumptuous duck, and accommodating wait staff made for a wonderful experience! I'd recommend it if you want a taste of good duck in the city.

The duck was delicious. Definitely a must if you’re coming to this restaurant. Make a reservation beforehand and make sure you tell them you’re ordering duck. Don’t expect a crispy duck though. I’ve never had my duck like this with a passionfruit sauce but after trying it - I love it! I added all 3 to my wrap, the chili flakes is seasoned with Szechuan flavors and was so good. We had to ask for more sauce and order extra wraps. Warning - you’re going to want to come with someone who speaks and reads Chinese (Mandarin/Taiwanese in particular). It makes a tremendous difference if you have someone with you that can read the menu and order the food. After the carver does his thing, they take the rest of the duck and make what you order with it. Highly suggest the porridge/congee with the duck. The fried duck with onions, garlic and basil was good, but nothing special. The black sesame mochi balls with the pickled veggies, sounds interesting, but just get it, worth it! Only thing I would’ve skipped on for sure - the shrimp. Looks amazing in the picture but tasted like just plain steamed shrimp. Parking wise - wouldn’t be able to help you on this one since we just Ubered there.
