This place was pretty bad, the duck wings were not at all for an American palette. The peking duck was not tender, so little meat, and the flavors were kind of all a mess. It had a lot of potential but this place was a red flag the moment it was described as “fast food”.

Soo good. Im Very pleased that I have found roasted duck in the area. I miss the Chinese restaurants in Chicago. But now I've found a place that has the same great flavors. I had the pick 3 and the duck and pork belly were my favorite. The wings were dry and lacked Flavor. But the meal in itself was right on time. Ill be back...

Our visit to Royal BBQ, a new addition to Green Street, was a unique experience. We ordered the Half-duck BBQ, a Pickled radish salad, and a side of rice, accompanied by an import soda called “Arctic Ocean.” We enjoyed the indoor temperature setting—our food did not get cold. The inside was clean and well-decorated. The service was quick despite the place being packed. Free water was available from a dispenser. I have mixed feelings about the meat. On one hand, it was succulent, and the serving was enough for two people. We did notice, however, that about a third of the meat was boney bits, like the neck and legs. These pieces had crunchy skin but little meat. The rest were good cuts soaked with duck fat, though not as crunchy, with some bone on them. I cannot judge how correctly this duck is done since I have only cooked store-bought duck once. The salad was simple, but refreshing on a hot summer day. The rice was not too sticky. The soda turned out to be a Fanta analog. Overall, I am pleased that such an option exists on Green Street. I enjoyed the food and left full. However, I wish the crunchy-to-meaty cuts ratio was adjustable. I recommend visiting it to see if you like it. Four stars.

Glad to see more Cantonese food coming to CU. Food was good and flavours were there. The pickled radish was a great addition to help cut through the fattiness of the duck. Presentation could be improved though. I didn’t like the paper tray

I was disappointed with the half duck I ordered, as it was mostly bones and had very little meat. The menu pictures didn’t show this, so it felt like false advertising. I also noticed that other tables had different portions that looked better. On the positive side, the staff were friendly. However, I won’t be coming back here.
