Reviews
Boiling Beijing
We came specifically for their famous Peking Duck ($79). For that price, we expected something truly special, but it tasted no different from what you can get elsewhere for around $50. Definitely overpriced and overrated.
The Beijing-Style Crispy Shrimp was flavorful and delicious, but at $35, it’s still hard to call it a good value.
The Braised Whole Live Fish with Pancake ($47) was heavily salted and over-spiced, which completely masked the fish flavor. Another disappointment.
The Beef Soup Noodle was watery and bland, with thin beef slices that fell apart instantly — not satisfying at all.
The Black Pepper Angus Beef with Golden Garlic was tender and tasty, but the portion was small for $29.
Overall, the food quality is decent but not worth the high prices. Portions are small, presentation is average, and the Peking Duck didn’t live up to its reputation.
Summary: Some dishes taste good, but overall too costly, overrated, and not a great value.
The crowd appeared as soon as we ordered with a long line by 6:30 pm.
We pre-ordered the Peking Duck ($79) which was delicious but not as good as the ones we’ve had in Beijing. Starred with the cold beef dish, a little spicy but not numbing. The lamb stew was one of the table favorites. Cube steaks, fried shrimps were also hits. Yan chow fried rice, excellent.
I don’t know why but it just feels like Asia in this restaurant. Not HK. Not Macau. Yes…. Singapore.
Ok. About the food. The food is good. Not amazing but good. Although the presentation is very nice.
I’m not surprised at the lines to get inside this restaurant. Its a nice comfortable location. Outside can get a bit ghetto. Kind of weird to see this in San Bruno but whatever.
Would get the beef and sizzling lamb dish again for sure.
Hand cut noodles were a little oily for my taste, would probably skip next time.
Ambience could be nicer but it’s what it is.
Pro-tip: you must make a reservation if you want to try their duck.
One suggestion: more sauces and condiments should be served with the large Peking duck, as they tend to run out quickly. It’s unclear whether refills are available, so it might be worth asking when you order.
Good:
– The food came out really quickly
– Prices for the most lavish set of courses was just $33 per person
– The duck was great, I liked all of the little things it came with too
– I loved the crispy shrimp the most, it was really tasty and also tasted sweet while being savory
– The staff were all super nice with taking photos for us and also answering our questsion
– We got to cut the cake inside and eat it!
Bad:
– Food is all pretty greasy overall but that’s expected
– The place is a bit more casual and loud but it’s bustling and high energy
Overall would come again – really solid asian food!
