The stars were based on what we experienced and ordered that day. Personally, the duck here is better than Ji Rong in Rosemead, so was the service. Duck is smaller than those of Ji Rong. Here, duck was cut table-side, whereas, it was pre-cut at JR. The duck skin at Meizhonu has more meat attached to it, which is also how I would prefer. The skin was moist and crispy! The meat was more tender and juicy than JR (I found the skin & meat at JiRong were dry and cold). We also ordered the combo where the rest of duck bones & meat would be cooked in soup and a salt & pepper fried version. Soup was delicious, not the over-salt bouillon soup base. Also I really like the Dongpo pork belly w/ preserved veggies (梅菜扣肉), best in town, and it would make you ask for more rice to finish up the sauce & veggies. Boiled fish (水煮魚) & sausage were tasty too! I also love their shrimps with scallions. Service was fine dining-esque.
Best to park near Macy.

- Ate here for Chinese New Year and the service was top notch.
- Hella expensive but it’s worth it.
- Duck cooked 3 ways were absolutely delicious.
- Mongolian beef is juicy and tender
- A-Chai was average, but it was crispy.
- Kung Pao Chicken was Kung POW!
- Sweet & Sour Fish left sweet memories in my heart
- Fish with Preserved Vegetables was chef’s kiss. It’s just right spicy and sour.
- The Rice Ball dessert is expensive, considering you only get 2 pieces but damn it, it was delicious and the soup was so comforting to drink.

Like to bring my parents here to eat, the food here is always tasty, although the servers here mainly speak chinese/Taiwanese? And only a handful of them speak English, but their service is still exceptional.

I don’t think going to this restaurant after the mall was a good idea but honestly everything else was fine until they brought out the food, it wasn’t so good as it looked. The orange chicken was horrible, once my other friends tried the food, one of my friends said that she ate a burnt part of a chicken and went to the restroom after. Once she came back, she said that she had diarrhea and vomiting. Also the tofu was to salty. I’m sorry but I don’t recommend Dongpo. Everything else was ok and we didn’t try anything more than that.

The worst Chinese food I’ve ever had. Shame on you to say you’re “the real taste of China”. Every dish is pre-pared, they just warm it and present the cold dishes.
