Finally: Chinese Fine Dining in NYC 🍽️｜Quanjude

Finally visited Quanjude New York — we tried their full tasting menu, and it was an impressive journey from start to finish. With premium ingredients and refined presentation, this might just be the most authentic Chinese fine‑dining experience I’ve had in NYC. The meal opened with an elegant four‑piece appetizer platter featuring smoked fish with plum sauce, thousand‑layer bean curd with malantou, Su‑style foie gras with scallion, and truffle‑infused sweet peas with lily bulb — classic Shanghainese flavors done with finesse. Next came a delicate sea conch soup with morel mushrooms and black goji berries — light, aromatic, and comforting. Then, Miyazaki Wagyu with tri‑color peppers in a uniquely savory‑sweet fermented sauce. A highlight was the lobster & sea urchin wonton in crab broth — the broth was incredibly rich and flavorful, warming from the inside out. Of course, the star was the Peking Duck 🦆 — crispy‑skinned, tender, and perfectly balanced, served with thin pancakes, cucumber 🥒, and scallions. Every bite was pure satisfaction. 😌 We ended with an adorable soufflé cake shaped like a little rabbit 🐰 — almost too cute to eat! Quanjude honors tradition while presenting each dish with elegance. The setting feels nostalgic yet upscale — like a high‑end Chinese restaurant from the ’90s, revived with modern polish. 📍 Address: 3 E 52nd St, New York, NY 10022 If you’ve been waiting for truly elevated Chinese cuisine in Manhattan, Quanjude is a must‑try.
