I went here for my birthday dinner with family and I'm so glad we did. Amazing food, great service and such a nice location. I particularly appreciated the help provided when booking - I mentioned that we had some mobility impaired guests and the restaurant made sure to seat us near the entrance and gave us chairs with backs - very much appreciated! Definitely somewhere I'll be visiting again.

They do Peking duck just so well but please do try the wasabi beef cubes. We been there twice already, and the atmosphere is cool and the staff are always nice and helpful.

I’ve been going to Duk Inn for over a year now and I have to say, it’s one of the best restaurants in Newtown. Johnathan and Tracey have done an amazing job running (successfully) this Cantonese Chinese restaurant on an often fickle King Street. When you walk in and they remember your name, it gives all the feels as it shows they really care about their customers. They have also employed a great team of staff who are happy, chatty and up for a laugh. The food is honestly next level, I can’t recall ever having a bad meal here. What I do remember though is the Typhoon Wing Tings, could easily have 2 plates of those and I’d be a happy man! Tender, juicy, crunchy, chicken pieces sprinkled with pepper, garlic and a spot of chilli. Deliciousness! They are also well known for their Peking Duck (pancakes) which comes in half or whole servings. The crunch of the skin coupled with the sweetness of the sugar is perfect. A half serve is enough for 2 people but if there’s 4 in your group, definitely upsize to the whole duck. The Crispy Skin Pork Belly is also amazing and so I’d give that a go too. If you’re up to try the Mud Crab, Lobster or Coral Trout, you’ll need to give 24 hours notice so it can be purchased and prepared for you. Unfortunately, I always forget to pre-order but I’m in heaven with my other choices but next time, I’ll do my best to remember to order the Mud Crab 😉 I can’t recommend Duk Inn enough. Johnathan and Tracey would have to be the nicest owners on the King St strip and the food they produce from the kitchen is worth going back for. Make sure you book though as they get pretty busy particularly on weekends.

Don’t be fooled by the downstairs part, upstairs is the most amazingly designed Chinese themed room. We came as a group of nine so decided on the banquet menu which had some outstanding dishes and a great way to try a lot of the menu. It started off with fried corn which was char grilled just perfectly. Next was the typhoon tin wings which is a must to try. We then had some buns, which was slightly weird to have as they were very sweet and would have been better served at the end of the meal. Next was the Taiwanese plum pork which I particularly didn’t like as these to were also quite sweet, looked great but not to my taste. This was followed by the Peking Duck which was amazing and what the restaurant is known for. Next was the garlic fried king prawns which is another must have along with fried rice and Buddha‘s bird nest. There was so much food as the sizes are very generous and no one was left hungry. They have a lovely wine list as it is not BYO. I will definitely be back to try some more of the menu.

Amazing place—we had a fantastic experience! The standout was the Peking Duck, as expected. The flavor was incredible, with perfectly crispy skin—easily the best duck we’ve ever had. It was also expertly sliced and deboned, making it effortless to eat. However, the price for a whole duck felt a bit steep, considering the portion size. The black pepper beef was outstanding—exceptionally tender. The cucumber salad and corn on the cob were both excellent. The deep-fried wontons were just okay—probably could have skipped them. The sweet and sour pork (Dragon Eye’s Pork) was tasty but leaned heavily toward a Western-style preparation.
