"There is the rare opportunity to eat the outstanding, delicious Beggar's Chicken."

"Shanghai's Top Restaurants: Xindalu China Kitchen - The special wood-burning ovens were brought in from Beijing and are fueled with freshly cut wood from apple and date trees that infuses the duck with aromatics and flavor."

Black Buddha

"Roasted over fruit wood logs (in a seven-ton brick oven that was “Shanghaied” from the capital) and masterfully carved up table-side. The skin is served first, dipped in sugar to accentuate... Well, let's just agree that it's pretty darn good."

Black Buddha

"More than the spectacle, the taste and texture of the tender chicken is sublime, which is the whole point of Xindalu: classic Chinese tastes, done consistently well in a place everyone can be comfortable in."

That's Shanghai

"The signature dish here is the Peking Duck, with succulent and tender duck meat nestled under a crisp and flavourful skin."

Justin Fischer

"It's served fully intact, and you get to crack it open with a hammer at the table and proceed to feast on the succulent bird within. The best in town can be found at Xindalu, Hyatt on the Bund."

Smart Shanghai

"Their beggar's chicken is not to be missed."
