If you love Peking Duck this is the place for you. Made reservations to come here for a date night with my wife and from the drink to the dessert we were not disappointed. The menu is filled with great selection of items. Presentation was top class with every plate dressed nicely. The food was delicate and flavorful. The duck was the best we have had. Perfect skin with tender meat. The buns they use a super flat so the flavor is of the duck itself not a cake style bun. It is accompanied by varied sauces all were fabulous. Would go here again any time.

One of the best Peking Duck places in the city. Definitely need to make reservations for larger groups, but there were only two of us so we got there early and got seats at the bar. If you show up later, it might be good to reserve a duck. We also got the oxtail dumplings and the truffle fried rice. The oxtail dumplings were extremely delicious and worth it. The truffle fried rice was good but probably not worth $28.

The Peking duck lived up to expectations: seriously delicious, crispy skin, and flavorful meat. Instead of the usual Peking duck crepes, they serve with baos. I did not mind this, because the duck was so delicious. The five flavor chicken dumplings and stir fry wide noodles were also delicious. My only concern is that the address of the restaurant was incorrect which made a stressful time finding the restaurant to realize we were in the wrong location. The service also was also not up to standards (maybe because they just reopened), but definitely could work on knowledge of the menu.

I love this place! It’s a tiny little place with extremely crowded setting, and you have to book your reservation ahead of time as it is really popular. Been there three times and yesterday we went in a group of four. We ordered the pre-fixed dinner with some cocktails. As for dinner we got four sides, two mains, once rice to choose from apart from the standard Peking duck. First round of starters are some appetizers, including fried fish skin and some small-sized vegetables. The cauliflower, kimchi cucumber, curry potatoes, mangoes and peppers are good but I don’t like their Chinese broccoli. As for the small plates, we ordered noodle with uni, bbq beef, bbq duck and Lichi and the shrimp dumplings. Personally I love all but uni since I don’t like raw food. My friends like everything. Then the Peking duck is served. No complaint about the duck itself. And I like their Husain and sweet sauces. However, the portion is the same for a group of 4 or 3, and you only got 10 skins regardless of group size. This doesn’t make much sense to me as I feel that for a Peking duck prefix, if you charge each person the same amount the Peking duck itself should be served proportional to the number of people. So it doesn’t worth that much if you go in as a mid-sized or large group to order the pre-fix. For the main, we had ribs and the sea bass. We also had the scallops and crab fried rice. Their sea bass was served in a clay pot last time but was on a normal plate today, and it tasted a little bit different - Last time more saucy and juicy, which I enjoyed more. The scallops were not very fresh today, but the ribs were excellent. The three cocktails we got were good, no complaints. And the service is good as usual. It totals up to $120 each includes everything. Pricey for what you got but definitely good amount of food plus high quality dishes.

Except the quality and taste of food, I thought the place was a little too overrated for the ambience it offers. I'm not a huge fan of dining on a common table, the place is super small and way too crowded for the space it has. Coming to the food, oh boy!!! The Peking duck was soo good. I did order a few other dishes, but they weren't any special. But the place served justice for its name as the best Peking duck restaurant in NYC. A must try if you are a fan of roasted duck.
