Impression is a Chinese restaurant at 2 Manor Place in Calton Hill, Dunedin, close to The Oval. Its signature dish is Peking Duck. The restaurant says the duck is seasoned and air-dried for a full 24 hours before slow roasting, which it credits for the crisp skin. It is served in two courses with pancakes, hoisin sauce, spring onions, crisp vegetables and a homemade duck sauce. The restaurant also says its Auckland branch was voted best Peking Duck in Auckland.
The menu covers Sichuan dishes with spice, northern Chinese specialities, hot pots, crispy chilli chicken and hand-pulled noodles. It offers dine-in, takeaway, functions and a full bar, and diners can bring their own wine or beer, with corkage at $10 per bottle as at 2026. Group bookings are taken for casual catch-ups, celebrations and workplace dinners. The restaurant says it has been in Dunedin for over ten years, and that its founders grew up in the city.
