Best Peking duck hands down in Melbourne. They cut the duck for you in front of your table so you know its fresh and crispy every single time. The pancake is made by hand in house. Service is quite friendly and fast if theyre not too busy. One duck between two people is enough. Its $58 for one duck, which comes with the Peking duck, a bean shoot dish and a soup too (made with the duck left overs). Its BYO as well so youre promised a good night with friends and family
My family stopped by Old Kingdom following an event to try some peking duck for the first time! I was so excited to finally dine at a restaurant that specialized in duck and I was not disappointed!
Interior: 3/5
The interior is simple and very asian-style, however given the location and the family style restaurant environment I observed, i understand interior may be the least of their problems and isnt something that would take away from their delicious food!
Service: 5/5
Definitely a highlight, staff were attentive, speedy and helpful. Food was cut and distributed to our family at the table, this type of personal service is rare at such a reasonable price these days so its something i really appreciated.
The last dish, the duck soup, we asked for a takeaway box to take the rest home, and the chef upon hearing this left to the kitchen for quite some time, returning with a new box of duck soup, saying that ours is cold now and this one is better – super thankful for such hospitality!
Food:
Honestly the only thing you need to order here is the $59 duck banquet which will leave 2 patrons stuffed to the brim! Every dish was so delicious, the duck skin was extremely crispy and the crepes were so thin. Every single dish had nothing to fault.
Overall i highly HIGHLY recommend old kingdom for any duck cravings, you wont be disappointed by the food and definitely by the service! Thank you for having us!
Old Kingdom in Fitzroy. Normally it is a good place for Peking duck. But I came in alone during lunch time. Very quite and only a large table customer. Skipped the duck and go ahead with their Singapore noodle. Their food is just average nothing special. Next time I will order the duck then.

After going to the one in Surrey Hills, I had really high expectations for this one and it didn’t disappoint. Although the place was more empty, the food was still delicious. Compared to Surrey Hills, they served more portions of Peking Duck, so you’ll definitely get your money’s worth. The cripsy noodles and fried rice were also delicious. I prefer this place to the other one.
Loved the Lo-fi vibe of this place. Promptly seated on arrival. Ordered the duck specialty of the house.
Came out quickly and carved at the table. Served with the usual accompaniments .
Duck was good. Followed by a broth that was made from bones and a stir fry egg noodles both of which were not very good.
Having said that, I would go back and just have the duck again
Went for a friends birthday on a Friday night for dinner. If you have a group of people, I highly recommend you book as they get extremely busy. We ordered three of the set duck menu which included Peking duck pancakes, stir fried noodles with bean shoots and a duck and vegetable soup. The pancakes were the best Ive ever had, the duck was fragrant and had crispy skin, they even carve the duck in front of you. We ordered extra noodle. You get three choices- crispy, normal and ramen. We got all three and my favourite was the ramen version as I felt like it had more flavour. The soup was a warming broth with bits of duck, tofu and various vegetables. Think of those chicken soups youd have when youre feeling under the weather. The service was really fast and the lady was so kind to us. Will definitely go again and try what else they have to offer.
Dont hesitate, just go!
This place ticks all the boxes if you want a dingy/chic restaurant that serves the best Roast Duck three ways for $60 – Perfect for groups as long as you book ahead.
(And its BYO)
The venue itself has two floors, looks dirty and the tables are set out with no order. Getting to the stairs to go to the toilet – (through the kitchen prep area) is an adventure in itself. The service is lousy and paying for your meal is absolute chaos.
All that being said, I dont care, they dont care, Ill keep coming back with my big groups of people because the price and food is just that good.
Love you Old Kingdom. Dont ever change
