Paradise Dynasty Signature at Taipei Dome | Peking Duck Three Ways and the 6-Person Set Menu

The entire 7th floor of the Taipei Dome mall is given over to restaurants, and Paradise Dynasty Signature is one of the easiest to spot: the sign at the entrance reads “Xiao Long Bao · Roast Duck,” and as soon as you walk in you see rows of rose-gold teapots on the tables. This is Paradise Dynasty’s new flagship brand. Unlike the Paradise Dynasty outlets in department store food halls, where xiao long bao are the focus and people eat and go, this one is built around whole roast duck carved at the table, and it works best for five or six people sharing a table over a long meal.

We ordered the six-person roast duck set and ate our way from the appetizers to dessert. Below, I go through it in the order the dishes arrived, and point out which set options are worth choosing and which ones you might swap.

Restaurant Information

Opening hours, phone number, and seating capacity are taken from coverage published at the opening (checked in October 2026). If anything changes, follow the restaurant’s own announcements.

What’s in the Six-Person Roast Duck Set

The set costs NT$7,688, plus a 10% service charge, which works out to a little over NT$1,400 per person. The menu spells everything out. The fixed items are five cold appetizers, the eight-flavor xiao long bao, Radish Pastry, a whole duck with 12 duck pancakes, rice, and dessert. You choose the second and third duck courses, two mains, and one vegetable dish.

Here it is in a table for easy reference:

The right-hand page of the menu is the eight-person set, but my photo only caught the heading. If your group is eight or more, ask the staff for the contents and price.

Five Appetizers: The Taro Goes First

The appetizers arrive one dish at a time rather than on a single combination platter. The osmanthus honey taro was the first plate to be emptied: chunks of taro sprinkled with dried osmanthus, restrained in sweetness, fluffy without being mushy. The crunchy mustard cucumber comes with carved red pepper, and the mustard is so mild that even people who dislike the sinus kick can eat it.

The white-cut chicken and five-spice beef shank are the reliable kind of dish. The chicken comes with a soy dipping sauce and shredded ginger; the beef shank is thinly sliced and topped with shredded scallion and red pepper, and the braise is not heavy.

We were also served a white cold dish topped with chopped chili in red oil. It was not on this six-person menu and we did not ask its name, so I won’t guess. The chili has a bit of heat, with the tangy aroma coming through first.

Eat the Eight-Flavor Xiao Long Bao in Order

Xiao long bao are Paradise Dynasty’s long-standing signature: one basket holds eight dumplings in eight colors, each a different flavor. Start with the white original, then move on to the others, and the differences are much easier to taste.

The set gives you a full basket of eight, and a whole duck is still to come, so the portions add up. For an average appetite, you will be half full after the xiao long bao.

The Radish Pastry is long and narrow, with flaky layered pastry outside and a generous shredded radish filling that pulls into strands when hot. Eat it while it is warm; once it cools, the pastry turns hard.

Crispy Peking Roasted Duck: Carved at the Table

Once the duck is out of the oven, the chef wheels it to your table, holds the whole bird up for everyone to see, and then starts carving. The skin is a deep reddish amber, glossy but not greasy. According to opening coverage, the restaurant uses Taiwanese cherry valley ducks weighing 2.6–3 kg.

The first plate is skin only, thin and crisp, laid out on a long plate with kumquats. A small dish of sugar comes on the side if you want to try the traditional way of dipping the skin. It is just as good without, and eating it plain tells you more about the quality of the skin than wrapping it does.

Next comes skin with meat, served with sweet bean sauce, cucumber strips, and shredded scallion whites, while the duck pancakes stay warm in a bamboo steamer. Twelve pancakes for six people means two wraps each; if you want more, ask the staff.

There is nothing difficult about wrapping: lay a pancake flat in your hand, spread on a little sweet bean sauce, add two or three slices of duck with a few cucumber strips and scallion whites, and roll it up. Too much sauce will drown the duck, and that matters more than any technique.

Choosing the Second and Third Duck Courses

After carving, the remaining duck meat and carcass go back to the kitchen for the second and third courses.

For the second course we chose the five-color stir-fried shredded duck: shredded duck tossed with bean sprouts, taro strips, and scallion whites, savory and salty and great with rice. If there are older relatives or children at the table, the minced duck wrapped in lettuce may be easier to eat.

The third course was napa cabbage, tofu, and duck soup in a clay pot, made with a duck-bone broth and filled with tofu, napa cabbage, duck meat, and glass noodles. After a round of roasted and fried dishes, this soup arrives at just the right moment. Of the three options, this is the one I recommend most. The spicy fried duck bones suit a table that wants something to go with drinks, but by this point in the meal you are already very full, and another heavily seasoned dish can be a struggle.

Mains and Vegetables

The mains are two out of three, and we took the garlic pork ribs and black pepper beef fillet, skipping the pickled cabbage fish.

The ribs are fried crisp and covered with fried garlic and chopped scallions, with a strong garlic flavor. The beef fillet is cubed and cooked with onion, scallion, and diced mushrooms; the black pepper sauce is not too thick, and the beef stays tender.

Looking back, both dishes lean heavy. If I went again, I would swap one of them for the pickled cabbage fish so the meal has some sour and spicy notes instead of a table full of brown sauces.

For the vegetable, we picked the seasonal greens with two kinds of egg: leafy greens in broth with century egg, salted egg, and whole garlic cloves, and a flavorful broth. The broccoli and water snowflake are the lighter options, worth choosing if the rest of the meal is on the oily side.

Dessert: Lime and Water Chestnut Soup with a Bite-Sized Duck

Dessert is two items: a bowl of lime and water chestnut soup, a clear sweet soup sprinkled with lime zest and studded with diced water chestnut, tart and sweet and very refreshing after a rich meal; and a small duck-shaped pastry filled with jujube paste, one bite each.

Know Before You Go

• Pre-order the roast duck. The menu states that sets must be ordered in advance. Tell them which set you want when you book, so you are not waiting for the duck on the day.
• The six-person set is generous. Xiao long bao, pastries, a whole duck, and two mains add up, and a table of light eaters will struggle to finish. If you have children or older relatives with you, ask the staff whether the set can be adjusted.
• Order the half duck for small groups. The full set is too much for two or three people; the half-duck set announced at the opening, from NT$1,688, is a better fit.
• Avoid Taipei Dome event days. On concert or game nights, the whole mall gets much busier, and both dining and parking slow down. Check the day’s events before you book.
• Factor in the service charge. The set price is plus 10%, so the six-person set comes to about NT$8,457.
