Known to be one of the best Chinese roast duck places in all the UK... but like all Chinese restaurants on Queensway, don't expect much for the service, especially if they are busy! Good for a quick bite to eat, and get a move on.

Amazing views over Kensington Gardens, and the one of the best Beijing duck I've had outside of Beijing. Pricey, but it has a stylish bar and interior, and well worth a night when you want to splash out with class. Food is impecable.
