While the duck's "crispy skin" and "tender meat" are often praised, some diners suggest pre-ordering to ensure availability. "Service was excellent" and the atmosphere is "lovely," making it a popular choice for both small and large gatherings. However, reservations might not always be honored promptly, and some find it "pricey" for the experience.

The service was flawless. We had duck, dumplings, green beans, large prawns, pot stickers, eggplant, miso cod, Beijing chefs choice appetizers, and beef noodles. Of course the duck was the best. Everything was really excellent but I would skip the Beijing appetizer chefs choice and the pot stickers which were more like egg rolls. Those two didn’t hold a candle to the other dishes. The green beans are deadly delicious. The large prawns and miso cod were real standout dishes. We will be back - often!!

Z&Y made a recent change that ruined Chef Han's signature Peking duck. In 2023, Chef Han highlighted his restaurant's traditional Peking duck being carved into 108 precise slices by expert duck carvers. For years, I considered Chef Han's Peking duck to be the finest and most authentic. Today I was in disbelief to see the duck sliced into thick chunks. Despite the fact that their website still misleadingly displayed photos of expertly sliced authentic duck. The large chunks of skin and meat were cumbersome and unpleasant to eat. There is a reason Peking duck has been sliced in a precise way for centuries. Why change it? I wonder if they are cutting other corners in the 40 hour preparation that Chef Han proudly described in 2023. Chef Han, please let me know if you bring back the traditional duck carving. I will not be coming back for the thick cut duck.
