“table-side duck trimming was very artful and well robed. I love the duck - juicy and tasteful. The skin is deliciously crispy.”

“Amazing experience at Peking Duck. The Peking duck was absolutely delicious—crispy skin, tender meat, and perfectly prepared. The service was attentive and friendly, and the atmosphere felt authentic and welcoming. Definitely one of the best Chinese dining experiences I’ve had. Highly recommend!”

An Instagram carousel from the business-and-culture account Asian Wealth (@asianriches), published July 25, 2026. It tells the story of Peking duck — said to have been reserved for emperors inside the Forbidden City, brought to the public by former palace chefs after the Qing dynasty, and served during the 1970s meetings that reopened relations between China and the United States — and closes on Quanjude, which the post says has served more than 200 million ducks. The claims are the post’s own; we have not independently verified them.

A Succulent Dinner at Peking Duck Ottawa

Pamela MacNaughtan · urbanguidequebec.com

A first-visit dinner report: red lacquered walls and round tables, the duck carved at the table and served with 24 paper-thin pancakes, sauce and vegetables. The author finds the $88-and-up price worth it for the quality.

“The duck was large, with golden crispy skin and juicy dark meat.”

Dining Out: Peking Duck offers expertly roasted birds and elevated Chinese dishes

Peter Hum · ottawacitizen.com

A restaurant review from the Citizen’s Dining Out column, written while the restaurant was still in its soft opening. It follows the $88 Peking duck through the order of service — the crispest breast skin first with sugar for dipping, then duck in steamed pancakes with scallion and sauce — and tries duck offal and several other dishes.

With Peking Duck, fine Chinese dining arrives in Ottawa

Ralf Joneikies · capitaleats.ca

A review that praises attentive, unobtrusive service and refined dining rooms, including three private rooms. It notes that the Peking duck should be ordered 24 hours ahead — $88 whole, or $48 for a half at lunch — and concludes that Ottawa now has a world-class Chinese restaurant.

“After all these decades Ottawa has a Chinese restaurant worthy of world-class status.”
