Not the most glamorous restaurant for Peking Duck, but please tell me a better one for the price that they are charging... Uncle Simon and his team run this joint....the previous owner of the legendary "Old Kingdom" still has his distinctive style of hospitality, it isn't for everyone and might need time to get used to, but it's thoroughly enjoyable once you've been there a few times. Much better set up, still the same 6 or 8 pm dinner, you still have to reserve your table and order how many ducks you want in advance, but still the same goodness, if not better now with those "hand-made noodles". I've tried the best and biggest Peking Ducks at the "home" of Peking Duck in Beijing, but I'd rather enjoy these ones.... always deadly with a bottle of Pinot Noir, they have some Whitebox wines there, BYO is welcomed. Very much enjoyed, for the many times.....
Great food and experience. One of the best quality ducks around
Simon Lay is very rude and insulting resturant owner. in my first visit, he yelled at me when I don't know how to make a duck wrap, made me embrassed in front of my family and all the customer in the resturant. in my second visit, I found a used cigarette butt in one of the dishes. Simon apologises about this discovery, but I told him I will never come to his resturant again after having two bad experiences!
Peking duck is very good. Friendly service.

Disgusted! I don't care how nice your food is, if you treat your customers the way we were treated you will lose client forever! Don't forget that Old Kingdom is just as nice if not better duck with owners and staff who actually car about your dining experience. Especially when they know it's a 'special occasion' like MY MUM's BIRTHDAY! We only go to Simons because it's closer to where we live than OLD KINGDOM and the owner at Simon's has always been super sweet. Such a shame his staff will keep making him lose customers. Came with a big group and although we prebooked how many ducks we wanted, they took ages to bring out one plate at a time and then we were waiting 15 minutes between finishing one piece of duck each. They make us wait for the food and then rush us through eating. When we finished, I asked for the plates to be cleared and paper to be changed and they refused. They wanted us to have my mum's Birthday cake on top of the bits of duck bones, hoi sin sauce and dirty tissues. So I offered to pay for the paper and straight away they changed it. What a joke! Charged me $2 for two sheets of fish and chips paper. To top this off, after rushing us through singing happy birthday to mum, while we were eating our cake, threw the bill on our table as if to say, please get out so we can give your table to the ' non existent customer not waiting' at the door. We've been coming for years but definitely will not come again. My poor mum has had the worst Birthday...... π€
