NYC’s Peking Duck – Certified by a Beijing Native! 🦆✨
This spot, already famous for its soup dumplings (think NYC’s Ding Tai Fung), also serves an exceptional Peking duck—praised by my Beijing-born friend as tasting just like home! 🌟 Peking Duck Tender, lean meat with crisp, crackling skin and translucent, paper-thin pancakes (free refills!). A must-order—but reserve 3 days ahead to guarantee availability. Walk-ins at lunch may get lucky, but order immediately upon seating (takes ~1 hour). 🌟 Cumin Roasted Lamb Leg Unbelievably tender with no gamey taste. Crispy fat and a savory cumin sauce make it irresistible—so good we gnawed the bones! 😋 🌟 Black Truffle Dumplings Aromatic truffle filling in chewy wrappers—truffle lovers, rejoice! 🌟 Bacon & Cheese Pan-Fried Dumplings A fun East-meets-West creation oozing with melted cheese. 🌟 Braised Pork Belly Crispy outside, fatty but not greasy—decent but not a standout. 🌟 Zhajiangmian (Beijing Noodles) “Not traditional, but delicious!”—savory minced pork sauce with scallions and tomato. Great wrapped in extra duck pancakes! 🌟 Re-Order Favorites Soup dumplings, cumin spare ribs, and chili oil wontons—all stellar. An authentic yet creative Chinese gem in Soho. Book ahead for that duck—it’s worth the planning! 📅❤️ 📍 Pinch Chinese 177 Prince St, New York, NY 10012 #PekingDuck #ChineseFoodNYC #SohoEats #SoupDumplings #NYCEats #MustTry #FoodieHeaven #DateNightSpot
