Over the decades some things change and some stay the same. In the case of Old Kingdom the latter is true, and the food is still amazing - albeit served in a different location.
Our last experience was with takeaway during iso. The duck banquet is generous and good value for money. The Peking duck as ever is some of the best in Melbourne.
We ordered directly from the restaurant in lieu of ordering through Door Dash with their high mark ups and cut of the restaurant's profits. After picking up our order and getting home we noticed that the bean shoot and duck dish was missing. A quick call to the restaurant resulted in a staff member driving over to our house an delivering the dish post-haste.
Will definitely continue to support the restaurant. Thanks team!
Less atmosphere than its Smith St predecessor but nonetheless a worthwhile visit if you’re craving Peking Duck. It seems they have hundreds out the back of the restaurant, hanging out waiting to be devoured with a lash of hoisin and baton of cucumber, all wrapped in a thin warm pancake. The follow up dishes of duck/bean sprout and soup are also satisfying. You can take or leave the rest of the menu as the duck rightly rules here.
This place never disappoint with their Peking duck. My parents always request to come here at least once whenever they visit melbs. There’s unlimited soup as well and I’m actually in love with it! Just rmb to book a place before going to the restaurant cause it’s always packed!
The Peking Duck is a beauty. Served with some pomp and flair and appropriately so because it’s excellent. It’s bright, busling and sometimes full on here. But, it certainly works.
Fast service, delightful food, Peking duck is def worth it ❤️
UNREAL DUCK. best I’ve ever had. Will come again.
Cash only is the only downer
Best place for duck. Lunch specials are great too. Don't expect VIP service during peak hours in any restaurant. I would recommend to anyone
Can’t resist the peking duck here. Ordered 3 courses peking duck with extra noodle. Every course just done perfectly.
Really recommended!
Old Kingdom recently moved to Richmond and they’re still doing excellent Peking Duck. Crispy, juicy and delicious. It was hard to get the waiter’s attention during the busy period so it can feel like you’re not getting the attention you deserve at a restaurant but they make up for it with their delicious no fuss food.
We ordered for 3 whole pecking duck and made the rest of the duck into stir fry bean sprout, duck fried rice and ramen. I could say that the bean sprout and fried rice is AMAZING! Didn’t really enjoyed the ramen since it was very dry and hard. We were in a pax of 7 and brought some leftover home. Quite generous with their portion.
1* off for the fact that they don't take card, which is ridiculous..you have to do bank transfer! Seriously! Anyway, $2 corkage is great, duck was crispy and moist, the bean shoot stir-fry is worth it itself, so is the soup..anyway, it's been 11 years since I first visited and it's still as good.
The best Peking duck in town. Reasonable price come with quality food. Must try this out if you are Chinese food lovers 😋
I came back here many times to enjoy the true taste of Peking Duck, which only can be sought in the whole city.
The last time been here was quite a long waiting for seats and the food was kind of more oily than previous. Otherwise, there was nothing to complain about…
Recommend peking duck 🦆 The best
Foods so Yummy
Service not bad but I understood about not enough staff . This restaurant so busy not bad service But about foods no complain!!!!!
Set menu of pecking duck is so cheap and delicious. Love pecking duck with pancakes, spicy chili with bean sprouts, and duck soup. The best restaurant of pecking duck in my heart. ❤️
Duck was crispy but could have done with more pancakes for the Peking duck as part of the duck set menu ($65). Order extra noodles ($8) if you're hungry to go with noodles that come with the set menu. Gets busy so best to book.
old kingdom dishing out an old classic - peking duck - and they do it well!
you can get a whole course meal from ordering just the one duck - theyll utilise every bit of the duck and serve it up for you! no wastage!
super tasty and speedy service!
you will need to book ahead to make sure you get a seat! really great for family gatherings as they can cater for large groups!
peking duck at its finest!
