Why Travelers Love Beijing Dawanju
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
This restaurant has changed its name but is still running. It was recommended by a Chinese friend, and I’m glad I tried it. The place is simple but welcoming, the staff are friendly, and the food is absolutely delicious with generous portions. The Beijing duck was fantastic! After took hours enjoying Forbidden city, then took a walk to this restaurant to enjoy the Peking duck. It's so delicioso. Enak banget. Sebelum menikmati bebek, saya pesan salad, big portion and it's fresh and the dressing also very nice. Also we didn't want to miss tried their noodle. Yummm One of the most popular restaurant chains in the area for Peking Duck. It definitely didn't disappoint. Hotspot area for tourists visiting the Forbidden City, make sure to get here early for dinner, or you'll end up waiting +2 hrs on a weekday. There's a decent size customer waiting room with tons of chairs. Complementary drinks and snacks are provided and self served. When you get there, make sure to scan the QR code to get on the list. There's a huge TV screen showing waiting times along with whos next. They'll bring a menu and ask you to pre-order what you want in advance since it's insanely busy. You might end up sharing a huge round table with one or two other groups. The Peking Duck was so juicy, and the skin was crispy. Perfectly done. Every wrap I made... I gobbled it up in one bite. Ordered half a duck for two. The five kind appetizer was alright. The silky tofu was a huge portion, and the sauce wasn't too salty. The salad was amazing and fresh. I would highly recommend this restaurant as they specialize and nailed the Peking Duck. Would definitely return and plan on arriving earlier.

Lovely place where our tour guide took us to enjoy Peking duck and plenty other local dishes. The portions are huge, so don't over order 😁. The menu is in English, but the staff had trouble speaking, but it's definitely possible to enjoy without translator. Lovely experience, food was absolutely delicious, the duck was absolutely mind-blowing. Absolutely delicious.
