  • This place gets two stars only because of the crab stew. I'll start with the only thing thing I liked about this restaurant. The crab stew was delicious, the sauce was rich and flavourful. A wonderful combination of savory, sweet and spicy with a medley of flavours and textures. The potatoes and rice noodles were perfect and absorbed the sauce so nicely. The meat was soft and fell off the bone and the crab meat was sweet and tender. The shrimp was slightly over cooked though so it was tough to get it off of the shell. Now to the reasons I'll never be back. This shouldn't even be called Peking duck. If it was called roast duck with wrappers and toppings and the price was more reasonable I'd probably be less critical. We ordered the standard style Peking duck, the pieces of duck skin were dripping with fat and had substantial amounts of fat attached to the skin. There was even fat pooling at the bottom of the serving platter. Peking duck should be crispy! With that much oil even the crispiest skin would become a soggy mess. The wrappers were so dry it was like eating paper and the portion of cucumbers was barely enough to finish the wrappers. Also, they did not provide a spoon for texting housing sauce. And it costs $35 for only *one* course, which makes it just shy double the cost of every other Peking duck place I've seen in markham ($40 for 2 courses)! The lettuce wraps aren't even available here. Overpriced and poorly made. Then, the service. I tried asking get how many courses were included with the Peking duck, waitress number one snatched the order sheet and then walked off without answering, waitress number two was in too much of a hurry to answer a question about the Peking duck as well. The third waitress was nice and helpful but the service aside from her was horrible. They even forgot to bring us our rice, we ordered a few bowls of plain steamed rice and had to remind the waitress about the order. I'm used to service at asian restaurants, my family adores going to Chinese and Japanese restaurants but this was hands down the worst service I've ever encountered. If it wasn't for the service I might have considered going back for the stew, but I could never recommend their Peking duck to anyone.
