🦆 NYC Peking Duck Ranking | 500th Food Review! 🎉

This Thanksgiving marks my 500th food review — a huge thank you to everyone who’s been following along! ❤️ As a proud Beijinger, I’ve put together a personal ranking of Peking Duck spots in NYC, based on flavor, price, atmosphere, and overall experience. Save this guide for your next duck craving! 🏆 Top Peking Duck Rankings in NYC: 1️⃣ Chef Huang Famous for good reason! Half duck for $41 — thin, crispy skin, tender meat, not too oily. The pancakes are thin, the sauce is authentic, and the overall taste is fantastic. Great value at around $50 per person. Today’s photos are from here! 📸 2️⃣ Quanjude The classic brand — freshly roasted and carved tableside. Authentic taste but pricey ($100–$150 per person). 3️⃣ Juqi (Flushing) Offers two duck options (budget & premium). Tastes just like the duck from my childhood neighborhood in Beijing! 4️⃣ Golden Wuish A modern twist with “three-way duck” + flaming presentation 🔥 — very Instagrammable! 5️⃣ Hulu Known for Sichuan cuisine but their Peking duck holds its own — flavorful and well-executed. 6️⃣ Jiang Nan Delicious and reliable, with a nice dining atmosphere. 7️⃣ Yong Chuan A Ningbo-style restaurant with upscale vibes (~$80/person). Their duck is rich and comes with unique green pepper accompaniments. 8️⃣ Da Zhai Men Tasty and affordable — half duck around $35. 9️⃣ Duck King A traditional spot with Cantonese influences — great for introducing friends to Peking duck! ✨ More Favorites at Chef Huang: Beyond duck, here’s what else I love: 🥕 Carrot-Shaped Custard Buns — adorable and delicious! 🍦 Puppy Chocolate Ice Cream — always sells out (still on my to-try list!) 🍢 Lamb Skewers — tender, lean, perfectly grilled 🐟 Grilled Fish — boneless strips, tender and flavorful 🌊 Braised Sea Cucumber with Scallion — tender, savory, and nourishing (rare find in NYC!)
