I arrived and the restaurant was closed and I had booked this for clients. I was too embarrassed and left stranded on a Friday night with no where to go in nyc. As you can imagine all decent restaurant at that time of the evening were booked. Bitterly disappointed that I had no communication either from open table or the restaurant itself. I am now looking at using other apps to book my dining experience that I can rely on

Apparently the restaurant was closed down several days in advance of our reservation due to refrigeration issues yet we received a confirmation of our reservation with a request to confirm our intention to show up- which we confirmed only to arrive with a group of 9 (5 kids) to find out it was closed. It took several telephone calls to figure out what happened and of course we still had to find an alternative place that would take 9 the Wednesday evening before thanksgiving...not an easy task. Not sure how open table and restaurants feed information back and forth but as this was a known even at least one week in advance of our reservation, a courtesy call or email would have been appreciated...too bad, we have dined at Da Dong in Beijing and enjoyed it everytime and it’s a favorite with the kids...

Food was not up to standard. The Peking duck was dry, so were the crepes. There was very little accompaniments for the duck. Service was a little rushed.

Our server Connie is attentive and a pro. Drinks and water glasses were refilled promptly. Food was mediocre - sizzling beef, pea shoots, vegetable buns, avocado noodles but the 1/2 duck was very dry and bland. The sauces and accoutrements couldn't help revive it. Cod served in the skillet was a bit spicy but pretty bland as well - a little salt would have helped.

We ordered the combo for four people and the food had a really bad taste. The dumplings are iced inside and the meat was just like uncooked. When we told the manager, he asked us "do you mean the dumplings should be well done?". omg! I have never heard that dumplings can even be divided by the level of medium, medium well, and well done both in China and US. It is really a funny question! The appetizer almost ruined the dinner. The CHERRY FOIE GRAS was really disgusting and you just like eating lard. All the dishes look pretty and if you would like to come here for dinner, just take some photos and do not expect anything delicious.

Not traditional Peking duck really, and the dishes served not that hot, 3 out of 10 I will give to the taste of food. Not worse the price, will not recommend to anyone.

We have dined at DaDong several times in the past several months. This dinner is the worst. The food is poorly prepared, and the service is terrible. Our waiter was always busy and does not pay any attention to our table. We had to waive to him several times whenever we need service.

Very upscale Chinese restaurant that specializes in roasted Peking Duck. Da Dong is actually a branch of a famous Beijing duck restaurant. Service was attentive but not pushy. Good wine list. The menu is well focused and the food was excellent, although portions were small for our table of 5. You will need to order 1-2 additional dishes per person in addition to a half or whole roasted duck. The whole duck comfortably fed 5 people.

Environment and location are pretty decent. Service is great. Speed of food is relatively slow. Quality of food varies. The roasted duck is not that awesome as we expected but ok for whomever wanna have a taste of Peking roasted duck. Instead, the asparagus and kungpao shrimp and the Zhajiang noodle are surprisingly good. All in all, a lovely experience.

We had an early dinner. The restaurant was empty when we arrived. However, the service was very fast. They brought our Peking duck while we just received our appetizers. We asked the waitress not to rush us, but that didn't help. They served us the duck while we still ate the appetizers. I would never go back again.

I went for the Duck, is it as good as in China? Yes, it is. I also had the fish dish, not available in China and it was every bit as good as the Duck. The service was outstanding. I would go back.

Service staff were not sensitive to the fact that we had a broadway play to catch even though we mentioned it a number of times, including before we ordered. It caused us to be late to our show. I was surprised by this given its location would make this a pre-theatre dinner spot for many. Very disappointed esp since I’m a regular at da dong.

Disappointed with the RW dinner here: very loud, had a small problem about the service, some good menu items but very disappointed with my entree of "pork two ways"; one way was sweet-and-sour pork chunks with pineapple, not too bad but not really interesting; the second way was five 4-inch slices of bacon! Is this really worth the money, even at Restaurant Week prices? The restaurant is smaller than I expected, and in light of this experience I would not return.

When we arrived we were notified that AMEX machines were down for a few days Seems very unlikely considering that one machine runs all charges through a central clearinghouse Clearly they don’t want to accept AMEX That should have been notified at point of reservation through Open Table So the let down goes both ways... the reservation taker. Open Table and the restaurant.
