Omg I really don't understand when someone says I know duck because "I'm asian" (after reading a review), whats that got to do with anything? Do you study and research about whats the best duck made by asians? also define authentic? does it mean when it meets ur taste or when you think it tastes good its authentic?
if you like it or not depends what type of food you really like and the tastes ur looking for, everyone tastes are different.

The first time I got there luckily my friend made a reservation so many walk-ins without reservations got rejected "sorry fully booked!", I thought immediately this place must be good, BTW this was on a wednesday night.

Anyway, for me the duck at old kingdom was absolutely excellent, better than expected. The atmosphere was buzzing with people having a great time. We had a group of 12, seating was a bit tight but thats ok to me becoz I wasn't expecting a quiet night out in a classy place with room to sleep ZzZzz.......

The peking duck was amazing especially when the waiter comes onto ur table to cut the duck with such art and professionalism, we reserved 7 ducks, (remember to request if you want all ducks cut in front of you). The peking duck was nicely cut very thinly with a slice of crispy skin and a touch of meat. I know normally peking duck is skin only but as the waiter said you can request how you want the duck cut, they can cut skin only if you just ask, also the crepes was absolutely amazing, very very thin and soft and goes nicely with the succulent duck and sauce.

As for the next course the shredded duck with bean shoots was just right to fill me up this stir fry was so tasty. The final course was the duck broth, its weird having the soup last but it was what I needed to cleanse my duck filled stomach in the end. In total great 3 course meal from the ducks.

The service was swift and friendly they always came with a smile on their face. The restaurant was a little old but hey thats the name of the place "old" kingdom, but I think thats the way they want you to feel inside the restaurant a very authentic asian feel to the place, you can say its very smith st like with the age that comes with the building around the area.

The main thing is if want a cheap and excellent peking duck feast then I can say this place is very, very highly recommended. Ahhh I want more duck now!
