Taste Good Beijing

Family wanted Beijing duck, so we came for Beijing duck. As with any places that serve Beijing ducks, we have to order the duck at least 2 hours ahead of time. And when we arrived on time for our reservation, the duck was ready for us. The roasted duck was good and met our expectation. The chef carved the duck in front of us. 2 plates of meats, each piece with skin and meat balanced. (vs some HongKong style Beijing ducks are more skin than meat). An extra set of duck wrap, sauce, leek and cucumber is a must. However, the salt and pepper duck body (an add-on dish) was quite tough to eat, (we could have skipped this) so we ended up packing it to go, and made a soup with cabbage at home. The spicy green bean dish flavorful, my favorite too, and we all enjoyed. We did not like the sesame pastry though. as it was dry and tough. The red sugar rice-cake was a good dessert for the end of the meal. Overall, Beijing roasted duck is to the standard, and service is also reasonably good.

If you're craving Peking duck, Taste Good Beijing is the spot! The duck was amazing crispy skin, juicy meat, and all the fixings like pancakes and hoisin sauce. So good!I also tried the duck fried rice, which was super tasty and had lots of flavor, and the intestine in a hot clay pot. That one's for adventurous eaters, but it was spicy and really good.To drink, I had an orange soda that was sweet and refreshing--it went great with the meal.The service was friendly, and the place felt cozy. I'll definitely come back to try more dishes.

Peking duck was my first love.The flavor, the fats, the crispiness, and the combination of fresh green onions in a chewy thin wrap is really worth an indulgence for special occasions.I came here twice for two birthday meals, and I LOVED it both times.Keep in mind, I just love peking duck that much. The service might be tough since we had to flag down the waiters multiple times in Mandarin. (Any worse service and I don't think I can stay biased.) My boyfriend said this peking duck is standard in China, so I'm glad to be able to taste some here!Some tips to make your experience better:1. CALL AHEAD one hour in advance so they prep the duck! (A MUST)2. Order just the peking duck and a soup on the side3. One order was able to feed four people, but maybe my friends were just being polite or had small stomachs! I'll try two people per oder next time.I would love to come back here again and again, but that might make it less special. I'd highly recommend trying it though, it's pretty addictive for me

We come here for mother's day as she been craving Peking Duck. I call ahead to make reservation and also pre order the duck.My mom was expecting them to carve the duck by table side, but they did it inside the kitchen and take out the duck plate. Not sure is it a policy change since covid.We order the tofu duck soup as an add on, but that soup did not taste like duck soup at all, we did ask the lady can we still take the post carved duck remains home, and she gave us two!The duck itself is quite good, there might be a bit more fat left on the skin then a top notch Peking Duck place, but is not bad consider the price and location.We also order the sweet and sour fried fish, beef meat pies, spicy cauliflower, Mao's style pork belly.Be warm the spicy cauliflower and Mao's style pork belly is spicy with a kick.Generally the duck is good, the price is fair. I think the meat pie is also great. Will definitely come here again if don't want to go too far for Peking Duck!

One of the best Peking ducks I've had in the Bay Area!The menu at taste good Beijing is super authentic Beijing (from a friend who grew up in Beijing). Many dishes you can't find elsewhere or you can't find as authentic elsewhere. My highlight is definitely the Peking duck. It's served in the Beijing style with Chinese pancakes, cucumbers, sauce (not sure what's called), and sliced at the right thickness. For bones and remaining duck meat, you can choose between soup and fried, recommend going with the soup as it's very tasty and refreshing. You usually have to make a reservation specifically for the Peking duck, but sometimes they have extra in stock so you can choose to wait for ~1h (definitely worth the wait). Our server was also super accommodating and served our duck first (we didn't have a res and were supposed to wait longer) cuz another group with res had not gotten their full party.We ordered a lot, averaged to ~$50 per person post tax and tip.

Best peking duck in the San Jose - Milpitas area! Closest to what we had in Hong Kong and Taiwan. Very authentic.

Some dishes are still taste good such as Beijing roasted duck and lamb etc. A good place for team lunch

Overall, I enjoyed this restaurant. They had a lot of Beijing style dishes. They have a pretty cool traditional tea pot so you can serve yourself some tea before you start eating. Food:Chicken wing spicy pot: Although this was probably my favorite, I felt like the chicken wings weren't that fresh or they just didn't fry it well. Overall flavor was great though, spicy and savory!Spicy and sour fish soup: This was actually very spicy, my friend barely ate this. I enjoyed it but wish there was more soup. Liver stew: tasty and savory, enjoyed it but could have had better flavorWe also ordered a small appetizer, don't remember what it was called but it was essentially like a burrito/jian bing with hotdog and vegetables. Interesting but would not get again. I do want to try the Peking duck here since it seems to be the goto dish. Just couldn't justify the price at the time for how hungry we were. Everything we ordered was about the same price as the duck

Many Chinese restaurants established in early days are Cantonese style southern Chinese cuisine. As more recent immigrants from China surged, the restaurant option is diversified to add Sichuan and Beijing style which has more noodle instead of rice dish.I came to the Milpitas location for a family birthday lunch celebration. I forgot to take photos of some dishes before we all jumped on them. Celery with dried bean curd rolls, house special clear noodle, and pig skin jelly not shown. We enjoyed everything ordered.The roast duck requires 24-hour advanced order. They are very busy during peak hours. So I would recommend lunch time reservation between 11-12 starting time, and dinner at 5 pm to avoid the crowd and get better service. They are also busy with lots of takeouts.For an authentic northern style Chinese cuisine, I highly recommend this place. There is another location in Cupertino, but it is the original Milpitas location serves better. Try their Chinese hamburger (Smash Stewed Pork Bun) with a little kick!
