The Peking duck here is absolutely amazing!
The whole presentation is very impressive!
The duck skin is perfectly roasted,golden and crispy.While the meat is tender and juice!
The side dishes are also well done, from grilled items to steamed dishes, all tasting authentic and thoughtfully prepared. The table feels complete and satisfying from start to finish.❤️
The environment is clean and comfortable!
It’s a great spot for gatherings with friends or family. Highly recommended if you’re craving authentic Chinese Local specialty!

The food here has consistently been amazing. The Peking duck here always hits the spot and today we ordered the sea cucumber, which had us shocked with how delicious it was! Great place to have a meal with friends and family!

As someone who grew up in Beijing and has eaten enough roast duck to tell which type of wood was used for the fire, I’ve long stopped expecting to find real Beijing roast duck in New York. Too many places copy the form but lose the soul: the fire isn’t right, the technique isn’t there, the duck isn’t roasted through properly — and what ends up on the plate is all style, no substance. But the roast duck I had today made me speak up: this is, in the truest sense, Beijing roast duck that actually tastes like Beijing. Not only is it faithfully executed, but the consistency and professionalism are impressive — and in many details, it’s even more than some of the places I’ve been to back in Beijing.

This restaurant is truly a hidden gem. We live two blocks away from here. Previously, we heard many people in the community discussing Chef Huang’s restaurant. Today was our first visit, and it really gave us a surprise. We are extremely like their Peking Duck, which is definitely at the top level in New York. Apart from the Peking Duck, we also love the mustard shrimps on their menu. as well as the luffa with vegetables .The luffa is not on their menu, it was recommended by the waiter. It is very light and delicious, and it pairs perfectly with the Peking Duck.

Blow up the seafood quality of this restaurant! The serving size for four people is tightly controlled, the scallops and steamed eggs are tender enough to slide down the throat, and the sea bass is fully cooked. Whether it’s crispy or boiled, they are so fresh that your tongue trembles! Not only is the food good, but the staff in the store also have a great service attitude and treat every customer like a family. I will come back to this store again next time!

A very cozy and earnest place with authentic Chinese food in the form of small bites and classic dishes. The duck was super succulent and came with cucumber, scallion and traditional Chinese wraps. We also had the lamb and beef skewers which were so tender and flavorful! Definitely one of my favorites.
Saw lots of people who also dug into the hot pot and the grilled bass stewed in the big trays which also looked amazing. Will definitely be trying those next time around.
All in all a hidden gem with unassuming vibes but very cute decor (and funny! If you’re in the private room in the back ). The plating and dishes are creative while still staying true to their roots.

1. The Peking Duck is amazing—possibly the best in New York. Everything is made-to-order and fresh (not pre-made), so it takes some time to serve, but it’s worth the wait.
2. The lamb skewers are very authentic; you can really taste that unique aroma from the wooden skewers.
3. The chocolate animal ice cream is impressive in both taste and presentation.
4. The service is excellent, making for a very pleasant dining experience.
It is sad to see that many of my favorite NYC restaurants have closed since the pandemic. I truly hope Chef Huang keeps up its high standards and continue to thrive!

Small restaurant with delicious food. We came for the half pecking duck that did not disappoint! The beef rib with the flaky and crispy crust blew us away though. The garlic steamed bok choy was also very tasty. It was probably the most delicious meals I’ve ever had!

I was walking home from work with my partner and we weren’t even that hungry, but we haven’t had good packing duck in the city and once we saw this place busy cute with an amazing name we knew we had to go in
The service was great. They couldn’t see right away, but it was a short 10 minute wait the staff is very attentive very on top of it.
We weren’t hungry, so we just ordered only the Peking Duk however everything looked so good. I want to order so much more but trying to eat later these days.
We also ordered a side of duck soup, which was only two dollars
Everything hit all the right spots the soup and the pecking duck were absolutely perfect. I loved everything so much that will go back and I wanna go back and try other things and maybe even order more duck. I can’t express how happy I am but it’s on my overall happiness listso five stars all the way go try this place out.

SOLD OUT. We had a reso at 915pm. Arrived at 920. Was told that last call for food was at 930pm. We were there for Peking duck, so quickly placed that followed by soup dumplings and lamb skewers. Was told soup dumplings will take 15mins. That’s fine thinking it’ll be nice and fresh but the young server returned and said it was SOLD OUT. Peking duck was average. I’ve had plenty of PD and this one wasn’t as fresh. Wraps were light and extremely thin. Plenty of garnishes to go with it. Was tempted to ask for more wraps but then we might be told it’s sold out lol. It became a running joke after I asked for a bowl of rice at 944pm for our lamb skewers. “Sorry, it’s SOLD OUT.” Unbelievable. An Asian restaurant that’s open till 10pm have rice sold out. Glad we only got two dishes because I’m sure everything is sold out because it’s too much for its kitchen staff to cook anything for their patrons. Staff were putting on their coats before guests were done eating – before 10pm. We were out the door by 10pm looking for another place to eat.
To make matters worse, the other table was continuously arguing about how one came late and now everything was SOLD OUT and need to order by 930, etc. ruined the ambiance for us the entire 40mins we were there.
Lack of attentiveness from staff as they were occupied by the arguing couple. Sick children in the dining area, constantly sneezing behind our table.
Cute decor, giving more French/brunch vibe than Peking duck vibe lol. Bathroom is surprisingly clean which is good.
I’m sad I cancelled our 930 reso at Jiang Nan for this place. Came here for the higher rating but we were disappointed with our visit and first Peking Duck in the city. Maybe an earlier visit would make a better experience. I’d recommend to tell your customers what’s sold out on your menu so they can decide to go elsewhere.
