We had our best pigeon in dagefan! The pigeons were perfectly seasoned and crisped. The waiter recommended us to finish the pigeon within 6 min to keep the freshness of the pigeon. However, the claypot rice was a little bit lacking. We felt that it’s not cooked long enough and didn’t have the fragrant smell that claypot rice should have. The service here was top notch, incredibly attentive to our needs.

Came here twice. 6 years Micheline mentioned. They have varieties of ways to cook the pigeons. Tried the hotpot, salt baked, classic, deep fried with sesame seeds placed on top of potato chips ( surprisingly nice). Also had goose web with mustards as appetiser. Tea. Special mixed fruit drinks. Atmosphere and decorations was nice. Service was excellent. They promised to deliver your food in 30 min with hour glass. Don’t miss this restaurant when u are here.

The food and service was really top notch….the Dove was soooo deliciously seasoned and the clay pot rice was cooked to perfection. But do they take to get a reservation number soonest, their closing is at 9.30pm, but I could see they turn away customers after 7.30pm.

Very great experiences, and the food is very delicious, a must go restaurant if travelling to GuangZhou. As they are so good, the queue is extremely long and they walked the talk by 6-promises. Once you tried, you will know why their business is so overwhelming.

Queue is always long. Came at 8pm and they stopped accepting customers. Lucky someone decided to give up their queue ticket for 60rmb. You get a free roasted pigeon if your queue no. has exceeded 1h of wait time. Apparently some people get queue no. just to sell that to others. In anyway, it’s a win win for both sides. Roasted pigeon is juicy and delicious. 5⭐️ The pigeon soup is also very tasty and mouth-watering.

I have never had pigeons but this was really really good. Crispy skin and juicy tender meat. We waited 85 minutes to be seated and they gave us the grilled pigeon for free! This was a part of their service. In addition, if they've this 6 gurantees given to customers. For example, if the order took more than 30 minutes, we have it for free. Coming here on a weekend will be a bad idea. I saw people waiting for more than 90 minutes and still waiting. But the food is so good that it was worth waiting.

A Guangzhou Culinary MUST-EAT (But Plan for a Wait!) There are multiple convenient branches across the city. Be prepared for a significant queue: expect to wait up to 30 minutes during off-peak hours and potentially 1.5 hours during peak times. The star of the menu is the Pigeon—we highly recommend the ginger version. A word of caution: Do not order the char siew; approximately 80% of it consisted of pure fat. Service is excellent: staff are nice and friendly, and service is remarkably fast. They even offer a guarantee: if your food is not served within 30 minutes, your meal is free.

Tip on weekends Fri - Sun, come early at 430pm to collect your queue ticket especially if your group is bigger than 4-10 (weekday you can collect your ticket at 530pm to be seated by 630-7pm depending on the queue number). Scan the QR code on the ticket using WeChat and it will update you on the queue number. So you can go shop while your queue countdowns, if you wait more than 1 hour, you will get a free roast pigeon! Tip join WeChat and scan the QR code on the table to order your food and joining the membership gets discount on the food and earns u points for further discounts. The roast pigeon is must try and the clay pot rice is really good! The baby wawa lettuce is really sweet and soft. Kids get a free chawamushi or porridge dish. The clay pot bee hoon is good too! The local vegetables is good too!

We came at 7pm and waited until 8:30pm for a table. There are chairs outside to sit on to wait, so be prepared! The service was 100%-similar to haidailo. They provided us with gloves for men, women and kids. We wanted to get a table earlier so asked if we could sit on a smaller table as we had two children. In the end I believe gave a 6 person table for our group of 8. At this point, we were too hungry to care. You must order the signature quail. We ordered it twice! The quail comes out whole and is cut up in front of you with a pair of scissors. The clay pot rice was so good. My mum tried the sesame quail, but I felt it wasn’t as good as the signature one. The belly pork so was good. We ordered a sample portion, and it wasn’t a lot of pieces so we ordered the large portion as well. We also loved the sweet and sour pork. It was the first time I’ve seen fruit, other than pineapple, added to this dish. We ordered another portion in the end! Next time we come to GZ, we will definitely be coming back. I’m wondering if there is a quieter time to come so we don’t have to queue so long. 10/10!

This was one of our best meal here in Guangzhou! Food was delicious and certainly up to standard. Arrived half an hour before opening and snagged the first slot. As a speciality pigeon restaurant it will definitely be memorable as we enjoyed every dish that we ordered. We preferred the Braised Pigeon a tad better than the Salt Baked one but both were yummy! The Truffle Pigeon Rice was cooked to perfection, especially with the crispy rice crust. The croaker fish dish was well executed too. We enjoyed our order of unusual Goji Berry Vegetable despite being warned that it might be a little bitter. The service was efficient and impeccable. The restaurant was tastefully furnished inside despite the possible crowd at the waiting area.
