The best pecking duck with a very efficient service @ lunch opening 11:30 pm with 5 mins waiting time. Unassuming place with very attentive staff. Love the sides of cucumber onion and sauce on the side as well as home made thin crepes . Hands down best of the best Peking duck in town period! The crispy skin and its delicious meat are a must order !! Always come early as this small place gets filled up quickly with customers and sever did an excellent job. Love the little ducky on top of our dish! We'll be back!

We celebrated a birthday here at the restaurant. Reservation advised and the Peking duck must be ordered in advance. We were seated in a semi private room. The Peking duck meat was moist and tender and the skin was crispy. This gets wrapped up in a Chinese equivalent of a tortilla with sauce and green onions. What an absolute treat. We ordered other dishes like shrimp curry, green beans and eggplant. Soup came with the meal and I personally very much enjoyed the tofu and Napa cabbage soup. The meal is special as we shared it with special family and friends. The restaurant gives you the option to take the duck carcass home, which I did and I'm eager to make soup k. Parking is in a small lot. Good service. Seating was comfortable in the semi private room. Please visit to create your own experience.

This place doesn't disappoint whenever I come here. The Peking duck is legit worth it. Remember to order an hour in advance by calling it in. Service is good. But you don't come for quality service. I come for the duck!

FINALLY made it to The Duck House. Come here for the Peking Duck, and order ahead. You have to let them know you're coming or you won't be getting their namesake. Very very friendly staff. Doesn't look too nice from the outside but once you go in, it's a narrow, small restaurant but it's cozy and homey. Can't go wrong here, their ong choy, seafood and crab soup, walnut shrimp were all such a delight!

The main focus here is the traditional style of preparation, puffing up the skin for a crispy wafer-like crunchy texture. The crispy skin is separated from the tender duck meat. We definitely made a good call for a reservation with two peking ducks. Other decent dishes are oyster mushroom bok choy and black pepper filet mignon. Our family has been coming here for long time way, and now it looks refreshed and more polished than before. We came here to celebrate a family birthday, and we were seated at a big table in a room for more private ambiance. The service was great with desserts and cake at the end too!

Located out in Monterey Park, is a fabulous Chinese cuisine, it has a traditional look for a restaurant, with ample seating. The parking lot is scarce with availability, so you'll have to park on the street. We ordered the Traditional Roasted Duck (24 hours in advance), with pancake, scallion and cucumber. Very good and crispy. They placed the serving plate on top of a bowl of hot water to keep the food warm, that was genius. Loved the deep rich flavors that were combined to make this scrumptious meal. We also ordered the Filet Mignon cubes in black pepper sauce. The beef cubes were perfectly cooked and seasoned. Tender with every bite, loved every bite. The Sauteed string bean with ground pork and dry shrimp was a nice addition as it help round out the flavors. The Dragon Ball that is lightly fried fish balls with shrimp roe's filling was a surprisingly delicious treat that added to our experience. The Crispy scallion pancake was a must have as it gave the full experience needed to enjoy this hefty meal. The service was faster than expected, as this place is on the higher end of quality food, which is a good thing. I would definitely come back, just because the flavors are so good.

Dined in for dinner on 12/7/24. We ordered the banquet set meal for 10 people. Cost was $588, which in my opinion seems pretty expensive. It came with peking duck, 4 combination appetizer, duck soup, filet mignon, crunchy mayo shrimp, lobster, fried rice, crispy boneless whole rock cod w/ sweet and sour sauce, vegetables and a sweet egg drop soup. Highlights: The peking duck had pancake, shredded scallion and cucumber and it was really good! Super fresh and the taste was superb. I would recommend to just get this dish! Filet mignon beef and crunchy mayo shrimp were delicious as well. No complaints for those dishes. A lot of flavor and cooked just right. The fried rice was tasty as well. It came with big slices of meat and the flavors worked well together. Dislikes: The rock cod fish tasted really fishy, even with all of the sweet and sour sauce, it still couldn't mask that taste. The dessert was weird because it had alcohol in the egg drop soup which was really strong. Not a good taste.

Take my word as someone who has eaten a lot of Peking Duck, Duck House in Monterey Park is one of the best spots in LA county to enjoy Peking Duck. It's a great restaurant to bring your family for a special dinner or gather your friends for an indulgent meal of traditional Chinese cuisine. The Peking Duck is, without a doubt, the star of the show. It's in the name of the restaurant after all! They serve their duck here just like in Beijing, with 荷葉餅 delicate thin "pancakes" as they call them here, shredded cucumber, scallions, and duck sauce. They separate the duck skin and meat, as it is the same traditional way of serving Peking Duck in Beijing, where this dish originated! This highlights the duck's crispy skin and tender meat so you can enjoy the best of both worlds! Then, you can wrap it all together, giving you that "perfect bite." It's an experience as much as it is a meal! I've had duck prepared Cantonese style with the buns, too, and please don't make me choose my favorite! I've also tried a variety of dishes that stand out here like the 松鼠鱖魚 Squirrel Shape Fried Fish, 金玉滿堂 Treasure Island, 天蠶蝦 (2pcs) Angel Hair Shrimp, 金沙果律蝦球 Crunchy Mayo Shrimp, 冬菜蒸雪魚 Chiu Chow Style Steamed Seasonal Whole Black Cod, and more. All the dishes are as rich in history as they are in flavor and I do think us Chinese folks are great with naming dishes in the most appetizing but hilarious ways! This is one meal that will leave you feeling absolutely "duck-lighted!" No seriously, give them a try, and remember to order the duck 1 hour in advance so they can prepare, and you'll be in for a real treat.

Good Perking duck! Make sure you call at least one hour ahead if your want to get duck for your meal. They have lunch entree specials Monday through Friday. They also have see menus if you cannot decide. We had a large party ordering off the set menu on a weekend and they were able to add some extra entrees off the lunch menu. If you want lobster as well check with the server they may have to make a market run to get some fresh. Duck traditional style has really skin. The meat is tender though it could be a bit more fatty. You get 10 pancakes to wrap your duck with with 'pre us at extra cost. It looks like these pancakes are packaged that way from their vendor. The fried fish filet with coconut and garlic is tasty and light and crispy. Sweet and sour pork Shanghai style is juicy just watch for bones. Ample parking on their small lot. Inside has one private room plus four big tables for parties of 8-10 in the main room plus a couple smaller 4 person tables. There's also a patio outside dining area. Make sure you use the Yelp check in!
