Empress Garden Restaurant

Love their food most especially their Pecking duck, so don't miss this out. The restaurant looks old outside but it doesnt matter since you came there to satisfy your palate right . We went there on weekends for Mother's day celebration so it is advisable to book your reservation. They got parking for customers at the back of their restaurant and also off street.

The restaurant is located on the corner of Jervois and Herne Bay Roads. They do have a small parking lot behind the building but we ended up parking on the street along Herne Bay Road.nWe came by for dinner and did book, which seems to be required since the place was packed. The tables were jammed together and they were all full, across the many rooms in the restaurant.nThe food is quite nice with standard Chinese options. The peckin duck was nice but I personally found it to have a bit too much meat. The second course with the lettuce wraps were nice. The fried cod and tofu were also nice. I did find the roast port a bit salty though. The best part is that they did have deep-fried ice cream for dessert and it wasn't bad. The batter was crispy but the ice cream did meld with the sponge.nIt is quite a nice place for really tasty Chinese food.

First time to have bejing duck here. It was amazing! 1 whole duck 3 course for 2 person was so full.

You can have the Peking Duck, 1, 2 or 3 courses. The sesame pockets for the 2nd course is worth a try. This restaurant is famous for the duck, but I found the other dishes average. The deep fried squid and the prawns were very oily and heavily battered. The mix vegetable dish was overly salty, whereas the beef ho fan was bland. Chicken cashewnuts was ok. The tofu dish we ordered was very good and on par with others restaurants. Service was excellent and plentybof on street parking

Great spot for family style meals, large or small. Mains sizes are smaller than other Chinese restaurants but price reflects this and I like that I can order more dishes for variety due to the slightly smaller portion. Best Peking Duck loved the lettuce wrap 2nd course also
