Dining area tight. Service was fast. Waiter was a friendly grandma. Food was the gem. The Peking duck was beautifully presented and hot with crispy skin. It comes with hot duck soups that fills your mouth with tasty duck flavor and warms the soul. This place sure beats the hell out of shooting down dinner in the middle of a pond on a cold rainy day. read more

The inside looks plain and it has tables and a few table booths. It just has more of an outdated type of vibe for me. The Peking duck is the best though. It was cooked just right nice and tender with the crispy skin. We were also given some soup and that was bland. I tried their green leafy spinach looking vegetable and that was hard and crunchy and normally they would be softer than that. They tasted like they might have been old. The kung pao chicken has nice elements and looked good. However, after tasting it, it was also bland and tasteless. I could barely taste the heat from the chilis. The cucumbers were also light on the flavor. The service was good. The lady that took care of us gave us really nice hospitality and even boxed up our food. read more

Came for the Peking Duck! Was able to be seated right away on a Saturday evening. Ordered the 1/2 Portion Peking Duck to feed 3 people and it was just the right amount. They serve it with the "tortillas" style with the duck and all the fixings. I would say the skin was pretty good, but wish there were meatier parts to it. The soup was included in the set and was really good/hearty. Also got some stir fried green beans (must order), smashed cucumbers (very garlic-y delicious), Mongolian beef (this was okay) and a spicy tofu dish (really spicy). The meal also came with a pot of white rice to share family style as well. Service - was attentive Seating - good amount of seating indoors, probably won't be good for large parties though Parking - within the plaza or garage read more

Very good Peking duck for the price in Houston! We got a full duck for 3 people; It's probably best for 4 people and ordering extra pancake wraps would not be a bad idea! The duck soup (comes with a Peking duck order) was very comforting and complemented the duck well. The scallion pancake was very crispy and good value, but I would order it for takeout instead because the duck alone is very oily :) read more

We had 8 adults and two children under 5 with us. We ordered: Full Peking Duck and it came with soup - they use the pancake style and every adult had 2-3. We did not need to add extra sauce or pancakes. The Duck soup had the clear noodles in it. But minus one full star because we did find a piece of plastic in there. Very concerning... luckily, it was in one of the adults bowls and not the kids. Stir fry lamb - it's about equal parts veggies and meat. The lamb tastes off. Mapo tofu- has a slight spiciness to it but was a good comfort dish. Scallion pancakes- super crispy and tastes great with orange chicken. Orange chicken - in the sweet side and its chucks of delicious meat. Bok choy- our vegetables dish of choice. Good plate cleanser in between strong flavored dishes. I'm on a low carb diet so this was a good alternative to rice for me. I would get the scallion pancakes, orange chicken, and bok choy again. Mapo tofu for those who like a slight spicy kick. The Peking Duck is debatable. I like the breadier version instead of the pancakes. But I liked the fact that the duck isn't overly greasy. As for service, it was alright. They did great with the kids. But there was some miscommunication regarding food. We had a dish that we thought was taking forever to make, but it turns out they never place it in the order and said that we didn't ask for it. As for water it was off and on, sometimes we had ask for more refills and other times they came back for it. As for the dining room. The table and chairs were stable. The lighting and noise wasn't too bad. They have some of their dishes framed on the wall. And there's free parking out front and two garages in the area. read more

We've been coming here for Peking duck ever since it opened, and it remains our go-to spot for it. The duck is hands down the best in town and closest to authentic Peking duck (although the knife work and presentation is much less sophisticated compared to the real thing). Their other Northern Chinese style dishes are solid as well, reminds me a little taste of home. My personal favorites are the shredded pork with garlic sauce and the salted egg with pumpkin. If you are adventurous and love spicy food, their Mao Xue Wang (spicy intestine and blood stew) is also pretty flavorful. Most menu items stayed consistent, but the price has gone through multiple increase throughout the years. The whole duck combo is now $56 (was $45 less than 2 years ago), and the complementary duck soup has been getting a bit watered down. Despite these changes, we'll definitely keep coming back! read more

This place is in a popular spot on bellaire. I've been here a couple times, and the service is pretty fast considering how the type of dishes you order. I ordered the duck in advance when I reserved. The duck is pretty good - I would say the portion is smaller than I expect and compared to other places I've been to. The steamed fish is my favorite at the place. The place is pretty small. Luckily most times I've gone when it's not too busy. read more

Finally came back here since I have been eating Peking duck elsewhere but that place is too far. Got the half a duck and Japanese tofu. Overall decent except for too much garlic in the tofu dish. Not as busy as before. The menu seem expanded the last time I came. Service is your usual Asian service. At least now I think I don't have to call that much ahead to get my duck. read more

Very friendly staff. Great decor! Ordered the Kung pao chicken as well as half a peking duck which came with a duck soup. Soup was a nice broth with some pieces of duck neck and chopped up nappa cabbage but only 2 pieces of tofu, would've been nice to have more tofu. Peking duck was the best I've had, the skin was crispy without the fat! Came with thin wraps, cucumber slivers and green onion and sugar. The Kung pao chicken was also the best we've ever had! The only thing that I didn't like was that they would not give me rice to go with boxed up leftovers. All in all I will definitely return. Highly recommend this place. read more

A little bit of a cramped restaurant as they seek to maximize the amount of space for seating. Reservation is pretty much required here or you'll need to wait. Service was very fast and efficient - terse as you would expect from most traditional Chinese restaurants. Food came out very quickly. Speaking of which: * Peking Duck - the star of the show with crepes, hoisin sauce, perfectly sliced onions and cucumber. As noted by some others - the skin could have been more crispy, but the duck had such nice fat content (and we know fat is flavor). I would eat just this dish over and over. It does come with a soup made with the duck bones - flavor is great - a little residual meat and a meager portion of glass noodles. * Salt and Pepper Tofu - crisp and tasty - but I wished they were a bit spicy * Orange Beef - very saucy, sweet and sticky. A bit too battered for my liking. * Green beans - a little spicy but great flavor a a slight crisp so they were super soggy. I dream of the Peking duck here. Can't wait to go back. read more

Good food, but terrible service. Only time they came to the table was dropped off food and to get the payment for check. I asked for Togo boxes countless of times and nobody came. I had to go and get it myself. The waiter I had was rude and had a RBF from the beginning. I regret leaving a tip here. Moving forward if I ever experience such terrible service, that tip will definitely go down. I will not come back due to their staffs lack of service towards my family The Peking duck did taste good though. read more

Enjoyed the peking duck at this place - the meat was super fatty and like that they have a duck soup using the bones and cabbage sauerkraut - not sure what this is called in English lol. There is the usual pancake wrap, cucumber and onion to wrap them with. I have had better peking duck - a bit leaner duck and cripsy skin but its not bad here. The pork belly stew was good, meat was very tender and fatty. Pepper fish was alright. It wasnt super crowded when we went on a Sunday afternoon at 2pm. Service was decent. read more

Fantastic restaurant located in the heart of Chinatown! On this occasion, I tried the Salt and Pepper Squid, Cumin Lamb, and Dry-Fried String Beans. The squid was very tasty, but a bit too much batter. The lamb was very tender and flavorful. The string beans had a nice crunch to them. Overall, I had a good experience here. The food was very tasty and well seasoned. The interior was beautifully decorated. I will definitely try out the Peking Duck on my next trip! read more

The food at Peking Impression is pretty delicious. We ordered the half duck, General Tso's chicken, and the combination fried rice (without the pork). First impressions of Peking Impression walking in: Filled with families and large groups of people celebrating. Round tables filled with extra chairs to accommodate everyone. Very family friendly vibes. This also indicates to me that they mean good food because I wouldn't expect to see this many families. Another thing I noticed is that it is BYOB so I think that's why there were large friend groups as well. The half duck was very good. Came with the paper thin pancake which enveloped the duck, scallions, cucumber, and the hoisin wrapped everything in very tightly. The General Tso's chicken came with a bowl of white rice. The chicken had just the right amount of spice. I am not sure which pepper they used but it was jalapeño adjacent. Very delicious. The fried rice had too much chicken and the shrimp had no flavor. The bits of beef inside were tasty. I would love to return to Peking Impression and try more dishes from their expansive menu. read more

If you are looking for peking duck, you have come to the right place. The restaurant is small and if you come during peak hours expect a wait but don't be discouraged I think it's worth the wait! This is a casual dining joint but the food quality says otherwise. I ordered the whole peking duck order and it came with a side of duck soup which I love! The peking duck is super crisp, served with a side of julienned cucumbers and scallions, hoisin sauce and thin pancakes to wrap! The soup was a light clear broth, in which the duck carcass was simmered in, with clear noodles and slices of napa cabbage. It was a nice side to help cut the richness of the peking duck. read more

Okay, I am giving it a 3 because 2/5 dishes we got were not good. First, service was fine and quick. Parking is obviously a nightmare cause you're literally in Bellaire, lol. We ordered the Peking Duck, which is amazing with the tortilla (wrap). The salt and pepper tofu is FIRE. Definitely get it. We also got snow pea loves (5/5), sweet/sour pork (4/5), eggplant dish (0/5) and another pork dish I can't recall that I did NOT like. Eggplant was not soft enough, and the sauce wasn't good. Definitely don't recommend that. Price is decent and portion size is good for 4-5 people. read more

We had to check out Peking Impression to see how it measures up. The order: salted egg yolk tofu - it was crispy and tasty but also a little greasy. Peking duck- good flavor... the skin could been a bit more crispy. Duck soup- tasty and comforting on a cold day Green beans - crispy and delicious Intestines- surprisingly good. They were cleaned really well and absorbed the seasoning and the peppers were a nice compliment. This is a family establishment with limited tables. Service was quick and efficient Shared parking is annoying but they do have a garage parking too. read more

Food Poisoning Alert / 食物中毒警告 Four of us dined at Peking Impression on June 13, 2025. Within a few hours, all three of us began vomiting severely, with nausea, stomach pain, and fatigue. It was clearly a case of food poisoning, and we suspect dishes like spicy stir-fried pork kidney and Sichuan Boiled Beef in Spicy Chili Broth may have caused it. This was not a minor issue -- it affected all of us at the same time, and the symptoms were severe. Please think twice before dining here. Food safety is a basic responsibility, and our experience was not just unpleasant -- it was dangerous. read more

Crispy skin, tender duck to be found here! Definitely happy to find a good Peking duck closer to town. I've been twice now and the duck has been top notch both times. The duck soup is also more flavorful than the other popular duck places. So why not 5 stars? Inconsistency and service. TLDR; Crispy, yummy duck but would only go back at off hours. Food execution seems inconsistent too. Price point about the same as the other popular duck places. First time I went I was ready to give 5 stars. I showed up 15 min after opening on a weekend and was the first and only table for a while. Half duck and soup came out 15-20 min after I ordered, which was expected. The skin was wonderfully crispy and there was more than enough skin for every bite and even had leftover. The cucumber and onion slices were also plentiful so I didn't have to ration. Meat was tender and juicy. Second time, we showed up on the weekend around 12:30 and that was a mistake. After ordering, it took an hour and 5 minutes for the duck to show up. At that point we could have driven to Bamboo House and gotten our duck. Good news, the duck was just as good as the first time, but the wait was insane. Pro tip: don't go at peak times. As a small restaurant, I think they can only accommodate 2 duck orders at a time, and we snagged the last empty table, so had to wait for 4-5 other ducks to get served before it was our turn. Even worse, our duck soup had no vermicelli. When I pointed it out to the waitress, she stirred around in our bowl and managed to find one noodle. Then she said it just looked like they put less than usual. I'm sorry, how is one noodle ok? And after waiting an hour for food, didn't even offer to make it right? 2 hours at a restaurant in Chinatown is way too much time. Don't come here at peak times unless you're ready to wait. read more

Delicious! We came for the Peking duck & it did not disappoint. We also ordered stir fried noodles with chicken, salt and pepper shrimp and sautéed green beans for 5 of us. Perfect meal! I really loved the flavors on all of these dishes and will be back. Only thing I'd change is ask for salt & pepper shrimp without shells on shrimp. Servers were very gracious and kept the dishes coming - duck came last which was our main feature but we came hungry so really enjoyed the other dishes that came as they were ready. read more

Yum! You must get the peking duck and salted egg tofu if you come here! They are so special and done so well! String beans, and salt and pepper fish were also good. The not so good included the sweet and sour pork - the pork was done too well and hard to chew. Also not a fan of the ginger slices on top. Overall, come here for great food if you order the right things!! Dessert (sweet potatoes in hard caramelized sugar) is also good, but make sure you order this AT THE END!! If you order earlier, they will bring it earlier and all the potatoes will be totally hardened and impossible to eat! Plenty of parking in the plaza. I am definitely coming back here for the peking duck and salted egg tofu! They are so good and done well here! read more

Hands down the best Peking duck in Houston. It most resembles how the restaurants in Beijing cook them. In terms of the crispy duck skin, the knife work, the thin crepes/wraps, it is a solid, solid entree. At $45, it is on the high side of ducks in the area but we'll worth it if it's up your alley. Located in Chinatown next to the 50 boba shops, it's got a decently modern interior inside. Service is friendly actually here and it's a mix of Beijing dishes and Sichuan dishes. The duck is a must get, and everything else is good to alright. Would suggest the duck and a supplemental one or two dishes to compliment and call it good! read more

I visited this restaurant for the first time based on a recommendation from a neighbor. It was amazing. It is a small place with excellent staff. She explained the menu to us and recommended what to order. We had their Peking Duck. It was as good as any Peking Duck I had in the past. The pepper beef was perfect. I highly recommended this place if you are in the Chinatown area. I will be back soon. Thank you for the good service and great foods. read more

I highly recommend this restaurant. The food and service quality was truly exceptional, I can't wait to go back

Small restaurant & they do have 3-4 tables to accommodate party up to 8? Accept credit cards, but with split up payment, can only be done with one card per transaction. The Peking duck is good and crispy but after awhile it gets heavy and overwhelming from all the grease. The pak are was nice and thin. One Peking duck for 3 adults and 4 children was quite hard to finish. The salted egg fried shrimp was good. Nice big shrimp but also can be overwhelming from the saltiness. We chose the duck soup option instead of fried duck bones for our Peking duck. It helped cleanse our palette. Friend said plenty of meat on the bones. read more

If I'm honest, I like duck but I don't. What annoys me about eating duck is having to constantly watch out for bones because of the way they tend to be cut and served in dishes at restaurants. This makes extra work for me to do when really I just want to eat. So because of this, I had strayed away from eating duck. Until Peking Impression. My Houston local friend named Lily highly recommended this spot because she and her sister love eating their duck. I was 80% excited because I had not eaten duck in a while, but that leftover 20% was just mentally preparing myself for the bone work. However, when we pulled up to this restaurant, I was surprised to see that the duck dish in question was BONELESS :) so the joy continued to fill me. It was pretty busy for a Friday night but the service was quick! We ordered the half order of duck which came with duck soup, duck meat already cut into bite sized pieces, and something I've never seen before--"pancakes". Lily explained to me that the cultural way to eat duck is with this very thin rice paper like pancake. So the routine was grab a pancake, fill it with duck meat, veggies, sauce, wrap it into a roll, and go to duck heaven. The duck skin was juicy and fatty and the meat altogether with the pancake and veggies was just perfect. The half order graced us with 6 pancakes each and that, along with the duck soup made for a perfect Friday night. read more

Came back to try again, and I'm glad I did. My previous visit was when they first opened. So maybe they finally found their rhythm. The Peking duck this time is was on point! Duck was actually hot, skin crispy, and meat was moist. Even the soup this time had more flavor. I also ordered the fried duck and may actually prefer that over the duck soup. Still really like the pancake, it was thin but not too thin. Definitely will be back. read more

The other day I went to Peking Impression restaurant for 8 people, the total bill was about $225. I also wondered why it was so cheap. When they brought out the credit card machine, it was clearly show me $224 and I paid $225 without adding any tip to the card. I gave $60 in cash tips on the table. When I paid, I clearly asked if the tip was not included in the bill. The server said it was not added to the bill. That's why I gave $60 in cash. Today, I checked my credit card online and saw that they charged me $275 instead of $225. I don't mind giving them the tip. The problem is that I don't like the way they weren't honest with me. Next time I go out to eat with a lot of people, I should ask them to print out the bill to check again carefully. The total tip was $110, almost 50%. I don't understand how they can be so greedy. So everyone should be careful to check the bill again. read more

Great duck spot. I think every table in the place had duck when we were there. When we arrived around 7:00 PM there was about a 15 minute wait. By 8:00 PM there were several open tables. The full duck comes with a large duck soup which included a lot of duck. As the duck is so much, we took almost all of the soup with us. The skin was fantastic but will note duck meat was a little more sparse. Severed with crepes versus bao which I greatly prefer - plenty for duck. I would say a duck with the soup can easily feed at least three hungry people. We also had the skillet beef which was fantastic, but most of this made the journey home with us. They are BYOB and we were not charged a fee. If you decide to need wine last minute, there is a market in the plaza. Will definitely return soon. As a note parking can be challenge, we try to make an evening when visiting Dun Huang Plaza. read more

Came in for dinner and was going to try the Peking but decided to try all the other dishes instead. Price here are pretty high but the portions justify it. 3/5 Service was pretty awful when we came in. They sat us down and no one came to us for a while. When the person came they told us to change table so we sat there for some time so they could transfer us. Then after we were moved took a while for anyone to be flagged down and when they did they were rushing while I was ordering. It wasn't even busy it was half tables full at most. After we ordered and the food came out there were no water or utensils. It started so bad I know it's Chinatown but come on. But as the meal progressed another sweet employee came and checked on us. She helped us with packing the foods as well. I think it was just that one employee that gave us a bad taste. Duck soup 5/5 They were not kidding when they said that this is really tasty! So flavorful and did not expect it to be so delicious. Typical places make soups very bland. There were some noodles in here which I enjoyed. It came piping hot, made a good side soup. Price was cheap for a huge bowl also. Would come back just for this! Pickled hot fish 4/5 Very huge portion. I've had spicier and more flavorful elsewhere but this wasn't too bad. It was mild but still tasty. Good amount of fish. Lightly tangy and savory. Beef and enoki 4/5 Also mild and not at all spicy but very tasty light dish. Lots of beef and good ratio of mushrooms. Beef was thin and cooked well. Salted egg shrimp 4/5 Seasoned well. Husband said was good amount of saltiness. The crunch was good and huge shrimps. I quite enjoyed the dish. read more
