I had an anniversary lunch here as a solo diner, and had a great experience because of the terrific service. My SO emailed a form in to prepay for the meal, which is a nice option, and one that's not available at places like Da Dong or Duck de Chine.

I ordered stir fried cabbage, half a peking duck, duck soup, beggar's chicken, ice cream, xinjiang crispy pancake with lamb and chives, and ice-cream. Honestly, most of the food was good, but after foodie-ing around Beijing, it wasn't a revelation. The pancake and stir fried cabbage were yummy, but a little too oily. I should have specified ahead of time to use less oil. The peking duck was good, but the meat was drier than at Da Dong's, and the soup was too diluted and bland for me. I prefer a concentrated duck broth, and this version was lighter. The housemade ice cream was fresh, but the flavors didn't really sing through and there was too much sugar. The lychee ice cream tasted a little like bubblegum. However, the beggar's chicken was fantastic in both presentation and taste. It came out clay-encased, and I could whack at it with a mallet. The chicken was extraordinarily tender and had a light fragrant aroma.

The service was great. My dessert came out with a candle for my anniversary, and the manager was extremely competent and detail-oriented. When he asked how my food was, and I indicated a dish was too spicy, he whisked it away and had the chefs remake it. When he saw that my duck wraps were left uncovered, he offered to replace them with fresh warm ones. I've eaten at a range of mid and high-end Chinese restaurants, and I haven't encountered that kind of service. Usually, if you don't like your food, the attitude is that well, that's too bad, and if you argue enough, you worry that something gross is going to happen to your food. The staff was attentive without being claustrophobic, and I had a great time. The open-kitchen concept is cool, and the restaurant was surprisingly packed at lunch with businessmen, well-heeled locals, and hotel guests.

I recently went here and although the food was delicious I thought the layoutn was quite weird. You are practically in the kitchen with the steam blowing on you and the waiters are talking to eachother and you can here what they say... Otherwise, good service and nice duck!

I choose to eat duck meat in china. At a recent dinner invitation from someone who was staying at the hotel , got invited and was surprised that the restaurant in the hotel serves some great duck and good chinese food. Yes the prices were on higher side what impressed me is their food. All food is 5 star priced and you would easily end paying atleast a 100 US dollars atleast for a decent meal.

I liked everything here.I get the invite and join for dinner. Very good everything.

Best service and food quality and presentation. Not the cheapest eatery but worth the money.

That's my first time to go to there , don't let the hotel environs throws you ,I love the Beijing Duck here,the price is not too expensive here around CBD.

A must visit in beijing...great food, service.....favourite peking duck plce in Beijing, reservation reccomended..always busy

It's the best Duck in the city and I think it's under-rated because people assume as a hotel restaurant it must not be great. True, you could be in a restaurant anywhere in teh world once inside, but it's a warm and modern atmosphere, amazing duck, fantastic wine list and you can make reservations unklike at Da Dong. Next time you have quests in town don't be put off because it's in the Grand Hyatt. It's really a wonderful dining experience and if the location were in Sanlitun, you wouldnt think twice about choosing this place over the other more "famous" duck places. truly a fantastic dining experience.

it is very good and the fried dumplings are good, but Sky Fortune is better. it is off of Liangmaqiao road and has only local chinese businessmen and midde/upper class people. Very quiet but stylish and the duck has a better fat-meat ratio, plus they carve it at your table directly. their dumplings are also better.

Plus, when we went to made in china everyone there were foreigners, so they has to say something, and funnily enough they were all fat or chubby. doesn't give a good impression of the west.

If there is a visitor in Beijing, regardless if they are here on business or pleasure, their priority for dining should always be BEIJING DUCK. End of discussion.

Here’s a list of my top 5 picks for Beijing Roast Duck (北京烤鸭):

1. Made in China – Hands down my favorite duck restaurant. Best duck to ever touch my palette, great overall menu, and beautiful interior design. Only down-side is that it’s located in a hotel and you need to make a reservation to get a table a few days in advance. A bit on the pricier side, but worth every penny. Beijing Duck

2. Xiao Wang Fu 小王府 - If I’m not trying to impress any out-of-town guests and the priority is good value, then I opt for Xiao Wang Fu, a popular chain of duck restaurants with a good selection of classic Chinese dishes for a very reasonable price.

3. Duck de Chine - A place to impress visitors or business clients, the interior is exquisite and I’m sold by their special duck sauce (plum sauce with swirls of peanut and sesame sauce topped with roasted garlic). My mouth waters just thinking about it. Great food, even better ambiance, so-so service, and expect to pay a pretty penny.

4. Da Dong大董烤鸭店- Often referred to as the Best Duck in Town, I think their duck does not even touch Made in China’s melt-in-your-mouth Beijing Duck. They claim their duck is more lean and they have a few chain restaurants in town, and have also recently expanded upon their already extensive menu.

5. Li Qun 利群烤鸭店 - Tucked away and difficult to find, but a great destination for the more adventurous tourists on a budget. Great duck for good value and a very authentic Chinese restaurant in terms of good food served in a poorly maintained establishment and lack of service.
