Founded in Beijing in 1996 by Gang Wang and Di Liang, the Meizhou Dongpo restaurant brand draws inspiration from Su Dongpo, a legendary Chinese scholar known for his culinary talents. Meizhou refers to the ancient name of Meishan, a city in Sichuan and the birthplace of Su Dongpo. In 2013, Meizhou Dongpo made its mark in the United States by opening a restaurant in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, bringing Peking duck and authentic Sichuan cuisine to the United States. By the end of 2023, Meizhou Dongpo had expanded to 114 restaurants in mainland China and 4 in the United States.
Flashy, upmarket Chinese eatery dispensing Sichuan specialties in a contemporary space.

PEKING DUCK. This place was all about the Peking duck. But something has changed. It’s not the same taste.
Real Peking Duck is expensive because it takes a lot of time (the process) to prepare. In the past customer would have to call in and reserve one the night before just to make sure a full duck was available. Now it’s only 20 minutes! What?! What happened to the overnight, long process? So when we arrived, how did the Peking Duck taste? Not bad. Same presentation, but not exactly the same taste as before.
My 2 favorite dishes are the Peking Duck and the deep-fried Orange whole fish. But tonight, the Duck was slightly “gamey” and the fish was slightly “fishy.” I say “slightly” because I am more critical when the prices are higher ($$$), my expectations are higher. This never happened the last 3 or 4 times I visited the Arcadia and Century City restaurants (2019 pre-pandemic.)
My expectations were high. My family thought it was “just okay” too, for the price. So for those who are looking for real traditional Peking duck, I may recommend other Chinese restaurants. But you’d have to drive to San Gabriel or Monterey Park. And 1 of those restaurant also changed and only needs 30-45 min for a whole duck. But for others who haven’t tasted or tried Peking Duck, this is a good start, especially for the Westside.
The soup and other dishes were very good, but pricey. The 5 of spent over $350. It was a special occasion. Good service; beautiful amazing venue.

The food was decent; just didn’t have any dish that particularly stood out for me. But definitely a solid 4/5. They have a lot of variety of dishes to choose from, all were average but decent. Service was great and the location is nice. I’d recommend if you’ve got 3-4 people or above in your party, as dish portions are large.

So amazing place!
Great location, food and service, with the same taste we enjoyed before in Beijing. Washrooms are pretty clean and suitable for families.
Will visit again!

One of the best Beijing Peking ducks in the states. The presentation was good and the taste with some cucumbers and sauce is a must try. Their special two dollar soup with leftover duck bones were extremely good and tasty! Their Mapo tofu is also very authentic and flavorful. High recommended and their services are unmatched. Loved my experience and will definitely go again for anniversary and celebrations!

This is one of 2 fine dining Chinese food restaurant inside Century City Mall.
They are well known for Chinese haute cuisine dishes like Peking Duck, though I have only come here for lighter mid afternoon meals.
Today I had the tantan noodles. The serving size was on the small size. It was $10 and more suitable for a light meal. It was not overly spicy. The soup did taste good.
The XLB was not too bad, although it will not be the best one I had as it was not as soupy inside. The sauce it came with is not the traditional black vinegar, but instead it was a reddish one that had a slight sweetness to it. It was great!

Delicious Chinese food with reasonable price.
Four of us ordered 5 dishes and it’s only ~180 dollars w/ the tip. Honestly speaking, this could cost me 50-70 more dollars for same dishes in New York.
Really great food, authentic and in large plates. The pork feet is a must try. I’m gonna say I have dined in around 50 Chinese restaurants in the Great New York area and haven’t ever tried any like this one. Fascinating! And it took only 35 dollars, which could be 50 in the New York. Other dishes were also at excellent level. I went to the very restaurant in China several years ago and this one is no less bad.
We sat in the yard outside the restaurant, but the service was still great, with our cups always full and tissue paper available all the time. Took one star off because we were been pushed to check out but apart from that everything was good.
Will definitely come back next time travel in LA

Chinese cuisine which really resembles more of a authentic mainland Chinese flavour, instead of Americanized taste. So if you are looking for American Chinese food, this is probably a bit risky. But if you want to try something authentic, this is the place. I don’t think American Chinese taste is bad, in fact, I think it is great. But sometimes you wonder what authentic dishes really taste like.
It is located in the mall, so it is spacious, kid friendly, and easily accessible.

We had our lunch here today.
The overall experience is okay. It is just an okay Chinese restaurant.
As you can see the pictures, we ordered “COUNTRY STYLE SLICED PORK WITH CHILI” had way TOO much oil. It’s soaked in oil.
“STIR-FRIED PEA TIPS” had little “tips”. The majority had thick stems which were hard to chew.
“WOK-FRIED BAMBOO SHOOTS”was supposed to be savory but ended with very strong sesame oil taste.
Instead of some Chinese music they played modern western BGM including Adele’ song at a borderline annoying volume.
There were obviously dusty footprints on the black tiles.
BTW, the plastic rice bowls and spoons were mixed with ceramic tableware. It feels cheap compared with the prices.

Love this place. Really good authentic Szechuan food. I got the bamboo shoots, pea sprouts, Szechuan spicy chicken, roasted (not Beijing) duck, braised fish, and Dan Dan noodles. The Dan Dan noodles were a little too salty and not spicy enough but everything else had amazingggggg flavors and weren’t excessively oily or salty. It really helps to know what to order, so if you are not familiar with authentic Chinese cuisine it may be hard to navigate the menu. Although their fried rice is also amazing, this is definitely the place to get out of your comfort zone and try something less Americanized. The service is what you would typically expect from a Chinese place. Some waiters speak mandarin and are very accommodating.

This place is pretty great for not being a spectacular restaurant. Their vinegar stands out and it’s really important for XLBs or soup dumplings to be the best they can be. The vinegar is pink and sweet. It’s also homemade. I think it may have plum in it.
We ordered soup dumplings. These are not the best but they are still pretty good. The dough is awesome but the filling could be better. They know about XLBs because they give you a spoon with them. There’s a special way to eat soup dumplings with vinegar and you use the spoon.
The orange chicken is ok. The chow mein is pretty good. The pickled cucumbers are good but spicy. Not very spicy but tonight I wasn’t in the mood for it. The win tin soup is ok.
Service was very good. Friendly and on point. Plus the water kept on coming.
The restaurant is cute without being too wow. They were playing some cool Chinese pop.
