4 stars for overall service and food. The ordering on the iPad was interesting as the menu was in Chinese. Thankful for the one line descriptions and photos to match. This hot spot, located on the first floor of Tangram Mall, is bustling with crowds on the weekends. They do not take reservations unless you want to book the private rooms or The Birdcage. There is a minimum spend to be in each room so choose wisely. The room we were seated in had a minimum spend of $500. Before you confirm your order, a staff member needs to come by and re-confirm your order, especially to ensure you spent the minimum. There were some very unique dishes and curiosity got the better of us - a few were hit or miss. The misses: hot mustard with cabbage, it was a spicy mustard (like wasabi kind of dry heat, where the heat clears your sinuses). And there was way too much mustard in general, on top. The other dish that was almost a miss, the plum cherry tomatoes. The tomatoes were sweet but skin was still on so the plum brine doesn't absorb too much into the tomato. This is an overall refreshing dish for the summer months since it's served cold. The hits: that full portion of Peking duck served in a fancy presentation like a jewelry trunk with drawers. Each compartment or drawer held a treasure to speak. The cut up duck meat, super moist, the garnish of julienned cucumbers and scallions, the delicious sauce and the fabulous crispy duck skin served over toast and topped with caviar. It was a sight indeed. Beautiful presentation. I also enjoyed the King Crab, this 4 pound beauty was cooked and served two ways. First, steamed crab meat legs with steamed eggs on a large plate. The second method was a stir-fry of more cut crab pieces. Well seasoned and tasted like a mixture of Old Bay seasoning and spices. The other favorite of the night was the pork meatball. While only one serving ordered, we managed to break it up with a spoon and everyone got to try it. The other stand out dish was the brisket and beef tendon. Very saucy and tender. I would have wanted to try their fish dishes but all were spicy or marked with a red pepper icon. Since it's a Beijing style menu, I would presume too spicy for my taste. The coolest feature of being in the private room, the motorized lazy Susan and of course, having privacy. Made our birthday banquet much more enjoyable so that we didn't have to sit in the loud, main dining area.
Felt like stepping back into Beijing and tasting a perfect roast duck from those that perfected it for centuries. Located in the new mall in the heart of flushing queens with all your favorites from Asia housed in one place. Parking is awful and there is a lot located in the basement. Pricey but who cares when it's stressful on the streets. The food and service is as perfect. The seafood rice was alright, the orange beef was a 10/10. And of course the duck was perfect. Definitely do the whole duck where you get it done 3 ways for the table. Cheers
Didn't know what to expect except reading the reviews of interesting looking food options. Was greeted with a friendly server - Yoko, who ended up making us appreciate our experience with his down to earth service and personality. Soft spoken with a hint of fun levity. Our order consisted of half a Peking duck, cauliflower, and black fried rice that was set a blazed for a fiery cool effect. The unexpected was further experienced when the remaining part of the duck that wasn't used in our initial order (with pancakes) was used and put in a soup. The soup was great because it was overly salty and served with tofu. Place is decorated in modern antique theme of a Beijing opera house. They had Chinese opera playing softly in the background. So yes I recommend this place for an overall positive experience. A little on the pricey side they treat you well.
Cuisine: 6 Service: 7 Decor: 8 Value: 3 Overall: 6 If you're looking for the best Peking Duck in NYC, then stop your search and come here. Imho, the version this Beijing (formerly Peking) franchise offers is the closest to what I enjoy in China. Is it worth the price? That's for you to decide. It's expensive if compared to other Chinese restaurants in the area, but almost considered a bargain compared to whole duck options in westernized restaurants all over the city. For me, I stop by every once in a while because it is worth the splurge for me. Another reason why I come to Juqi is the beautiful decor, especially their private rooms and the semi-private bird cage table. My family has celebrated a couple special occasions here, and they all loved the environment. Unfortunately, that's where my praises for this restaurant ends. First of all, everything is too expensive. Check the local Dongbei restaurants in Flushing and most of them charge 20-40% less for the same dishes. More importantly, it's not any better in quality or taste. Some of the dishes look fancier, especially the desserts, and that's what you are paying for. Keep that in mind and you will have a decent experience.
I came here this afternoon for a solo lunch and left thoroughly impressed. I ordered half a Peking duck, braised wheat gluten with shrimp, and XO sauce seafood fried rice--definitely more than enough for one person! Every dish was beautifully executed and full of flavor. The wheat gluten puffs with shrimp were especially memorable and reminded me of dishes I grew up enjoying in China. The Peking duck was the standout--the skin perfectly crisp, light, and delicate, paired with tender, flavorful meat. Wrapped in the paper-thin pancakes, each bite was balanced and satisfying without feeling greasy. I ended up taking the fried rice home, and the staff kindly offered to turn the duck bones into a tofu and cabbage soup to go--a thoughtful touch that really elevated the experience. Service was just as impressive: professional, attentive, and efficient from start to finish. A flawless meal overall--I'll absolutely be back to explore more of the menu.
Food was beautifully presented and definitely very good but we quickly ran out of room due to the size of the serving dishes and kept on consolidating other dishes on our table to make more room. It may have also been us over ordering but pacing would have helped so we as the diners don't feel rushed. If you are going with a party of 4, it may be wise to ask for a table that seats 6 so this doesn't happen to you. Out of all the dishes we tried, the seafood vermicelli, fried prawns, and crispy shrimp balls were the highlights. The Peking Duck was fine, didn't stand out as much as the other items. Not pictured here was the fish filet in sauerkraut soup which was super spicy and my friends really enjoyed. Cocktails were delish! I would consider this type of meal, a fancy Chinese dinner if you wanted to impress family/friends as I would consider it overpriced.
One of the best pecking duck places I've tried so far. They display the pecking duck in the wooden box and show you how to wrap your pecking duck with the other ingredients nicely. They also provide gloves so you don't dirty your hands. The leftover bones from the duck can be turned into one of three choices: 1) stir fry 2) salt and pepper 3) soup. I haven't tried option 1 and 2 yet but #3 is sooo good, especially at the end of your meal. Aside from the pecking duck, which is what they're known for, all dishes were yummy. and I would highly recommend coming here to try.
We tried to get into this restaurant for two days in a row and finally got in. It's a big hype for sure. We ordered an array of dishes to try as a family and it was all very mediocre. It did not amaze me for what the hype is. The duck was very crispy, but bland. Everything here is about presentation. For the duck- it came out whole and a chef cut it up in front of us and played it on a box. They deep rid some of the skin and put caviar on top and served. Flaming fried rice- it was purple rice- pretty bland. Nothing special but the flames. All the other dishes were also bland and everything tasted like szechuan peppers. Ambiance- very cute and Asian inspired esthetics. Customer service, was always there when we needed them because we were place right next to their service table where they stand. Nice experience, but I would not go back.
The service here is extremely attuned, quick, and friendly; by far the best factor that contributed to our enjoyment of the meal! Beautiful ambiance and they have multiple private dining rooms too that has very pretty interior designs. The ingredient for all the dishes we ordered were fresh and quite delicious. Their duck, which is their signature, was a bit underwhelming though, where the slices of duck were a bit too thin and the ratio between meat and skin was unbalanced, leading to less meaty bites. However that might just be my personal preference, so you decide! Overall, would come back to try their many other interesting selections! Thank you to our server, Lin, for helping us so much as we struggled with taking care of our baby haha Thank you for reading and best of luck! (: read more

Went for an early dinner on a weekday - there was no wait. Service was amazing but food was just okay given the price point, nothing really stood out to me flavor-wise besides the cauliflower dish (might just be what we ordered?) I'd recommend only for the ambiance and service. read more
My experience at Juqi was beyond what I expected! I came here with a group of 4, which was perfect for this type of dining experience. All the plates are meant to be shared, and you can try a little of everything, truly the beauty of Chinese cuisine. There was no wait, and upon entering although the restaurant seemed a bit understaffed, and the staff could've been more attentive, they were overall very pleasant and friendly. The food was really beyond our expectations. The Peking duck has such a good crispy layer to the skin, it was fatty, it was smoky, and extremely flavorful. I do wish it was cut a bit thicker though. The pork intestine hotpot was one of my favorites, the broth had so much flavor, the intestines were fatty and chewy and while I wish it was potato instead of yam, it was still really good. Everything was delicious, well plated and I thought the portion sizes were really good for the price! There was so much more food than we expected there to be, and they even gave us extra soup! You get free yogurt with check in, and the yogurt is delicious. It's nice and thick and not too sour, and with the topping of honey, it really adds the tinge of sweetness that kicks it off. The mango drink they had was also so refreshing after our big hearty meal! I really enjoyed our experience here, definitely will be back!! read more

Thank you for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear that you…
We ordered a whole table filled with food. Our favorites were the crispy shrimp, seafood vermicelli, soy sauce chicken, and squirrel shaped fried fish. Crispy shrimp was crunchy and salty. Vermicelli was really good with the addition of tiny fish eggs mixed in (the kind they use to top dimsum). Soy sauce chicken was very tender. Squirrel shaped fried fish had a similar flavor profile to sweet and sour chicken. The lamb was too spicy for me to handle. Fried rice was a bit underwhelming, it tasted kind of plain. The peking duck was okay but not the best I've had in the city as there were quite a few fatty cuts. I appreciate the free refills on the snacks (loved the fried broad beans) and the thin wraps for the peking duck. 10/10 for presentation of all their dishes and some were even delivered to the table with a mini "show". This was a good place to celebrate an event but not a daily place to dine as dishes are quite expensive. We had the option of having the duck bones either fried or in a soup. They gave us the soup as they misheard us. They rectified their mistake by getting us the fried duck bones and also gave us a bowl of the duck soup to try. The soup was white in color and looked good but it's taste was bland. Fried duck bones is the way to go but there's also not much seasoning to be found here. On their table, they have a promo where you can write a 5 star review and mention a server's name in order to get a bunny pudding...The bunny pudding was alright, not too sweet. Also tried the peach dessert and that one was fun to break. Phone signal is really bad in here. I couldn't get any service. The staff had to give me the passcode to log into their restaurant's wifi for guests. Service was okay, it could've been better. Bathrooms were nice and clean though. read more

An impressive lineup of my favorite dishes. The Wo Bian Cao stands out as the most memorable dish of the meal. read more
I was at this nice Chinese place within the Tangram Mall with a group a while back as per most of my recent reviews. The staff was fine and the inside is nice reminding me a little bit of CheLi or Szechuan Mountain House among others. The food is a bit overpriced but everything is served particularly nicely even compared to some of the other nicer Chinese spots and there were a couple standouts so I can see why they're popular and that partially excuses the high prices. They gave us a few freebies to begin with including a lightly spiced pickled cabbage, some type of boiled nuts, and some shredded fried dough which had some sesame on it which was slightly sweet and all were pretty tasty. In terms of drinks, the Grape Fizzy had black grapes, sprite, and ice for $8 which was a tad sweet which was expected but refreshing. Better was the Sweet Plum With Osmanthus for $12 which comes in a jug and was very tasty though I prefer the more sour variety found in Szechuan spots. My favorite dish of the night was surprisingly the Eggplant of That Autumn Year with eggplant and sesame for $18.00. The eggplant was cut in strips and fried and had a very satisfying texture. It was slightly sweet, slightly salty, and was very lightly fried and I would recommend it heavily. In terms of appetizers, we got the Lucky Bag for $18.00 with black truffle oil, duck meat, spinach, and chives. This was presented nicely with some steam at the table and had six of said bags. The bags also had some fish roe on top which was a nice touch and had a soft chewy texture. I couldn't really taste the duck much probably because it was overpowered by the truffle oil with there only being a light meaty texture and the truffle oil wasn't necessary as per most other dishes with said oil. Pretty tasty were the Homemade Dumplings which are $16.00 for 12 pieces with all of them containing shrimp, pork, and leek. The dumplings were large but the skin was thin and the shrimp inside was bouncy. They were juicy and solid and mostly worth it for the price point and were enough better than most of the cheap dumplings in Flushing mostly because of how filled they were. Cheapest of the dishes was the Stewed Pig Liver for $6.00 with pork liver, intestine, and garlic. I'm a big fan of offal and this was tasty though perhaps there was a bit too much cornstarch as it was a bit gloopy. The dish had a light iron flavor from the liver and really requires you have it over rice both from the salt and texture. The rice costs $1.50 per bowl and I'm kind of surprised they charge for it but whatever as it's cheap enough. The last smaller dish was the Imperial Marinated Pork Knuckle with Cucumber Salad for $14 which was pretty good. The pork knuckle was smoked and it reminded me of a dish you'd find in some Hunan spots with the mixture of fresh crunchy cucumber and the smoky flavor from the pork. There could have been a bit more pork but it was pretty tasty though perhaps slightly salty. The Mapo Tofu With Braised Sea Cucumber with sea cucumber, beef, and tofu for $29.00 was alright but overpriced. I presume the unique extra gelatinous texture in the dish was from the sea cucumber and there was enough beef in it while the tofu texture wasn't the best (I prefer firmer) and the mala flavor could have been stronger. I feel like they're just adding the sea cucumber to add $10 or so to the price point but at least the portion was decent. The star of the show is the JUQI Signature Roasted Treasure Whole Beijing Duck with duck, caviar, tianmian sauce, and cucumber as well as a choice of either complimentary salted and pepper duck rack, spicy fried duck rack, or a duck soup (we went with the salt & pepper duck rack.) The presentation here is a step up from every other Chinese spot with it being presented on a fancy box. The bottom had the assorted veggies and sauces with the next layer being the crispy duck skin topped with caviar, and the next layer above had the duck slices. There was also a separate plate with the rest of the duck meat and the salt and pepper duck rack was served separately along with the requisite pancakes/chun bing. The best layer by a mile was the separated skin and caviar which was a perfect tiny bite and was notably better than the other similar ducks in the city. The meat was tender though I would say the flavor is better at some other spots such as my personal favorite; Golden Wu-ish. My favorite part was a leg I had as it had more of the tender meat. The duck rack afterwards was solid though I would say a bit oily compared to Wu-ish and there could have been a bit more pepper. We ended with the Rabbit Pudding for $6.00 which simply has milk and milk powder. You get it for the presentation as with the other desserts and while I would have preferred the rolling donkey, it was pretty tasty. It was very lightly sweet with a good texture. You pay a bit more here but the food is a step up for at least some dishes. Out of room for the review. 4.2 read more
I came for a large gathering held in one of the private rooms. The staff handled all the dishes that came in well, despite the chaos that might come with large groups. The duck skin is super crispy, and although there's not a ton of meat, it is worth ordering. The duck and caviar on toast surprisingly went well together. It also came in a wooden chest, and we love food presented in a cute way! The duck broth was nice as well. I lost track of all the different dishes while enjoying them, but below are some ones besides the duck that stood out: * The fried fish: coated in sauce but still crispy * The shrimp balls: presented on a tree and crispy read more

Thank you so much for your detailed and kind review! We're thrilled…
QUJI completely exceeded our expectations! The duck was perfectly crispy and absolutely beautiful to look at - truly an Instagram-worthy dish that tasted even better than it looked. The lamb was rich, tender, and full of flavor. My family and I are visiting from Toronto, and they all agreed this is one of the best Chinese restaurants they've ever dined at. The service was also exceptional - attentive, friendly, and made us feel so welcome. We can't wait to come back! read more

A upscale and delivious twist on traditional Chinese cuisine. Service was very attentive and friendly! Each dish had social media worthy presentation to brag about. The Peking Duck Chest Set was delectable and had an amazing crunch! The lobster noddles was savory and soo delicious that we left no scraps! The chinese cabbage with sesame paste was alright, but a great light appetizer. The lucky bags taste did not match the cool smoky presentation as it was pretty average. Highly recommend the lobster and peking duck set! read more

I've been to Juqi twice with different groups and had a great experience both times. While this restaurant went viral on social media and is known for their duck (which is quite tasty), I also found many of their other menu items to be well worth the trip to Flushing. Some of my favorites include the Beijing style sautéed veggies, sauerkraut fish, and crispy shrimp. Not only do most of their dishes taste great, but they also have unique and beautiful presentation. read more
We were so excited to finally get to try Juqi! It is located inside a very new mall in Flushing. There is also parking on the side of the mall, which can be paid hourly. We stopped by with a group for lunch. It was not busy at all and no reservations were needed, thankfully! Of course, we had to order the specialty. They told us it would be 35 mins to prep the duck. So we also ordered several dishes to share including: wasabi duck feet, spicy cabbage, kung pao orange flavor beef, mustard greens, seafood vermicelli, and fried eggplant. I was pleasantly surprised by the portion of the dishes. Normally in such restaurants, you can expect the portions to be tiny, perhaps a few spoons. However the dishes we ordered had a generous portion. When our duck arrived, the chef came out and cut it into small pieces, at first giving us the first bite with caviar, followed by the server showing us how to make/roll our duck wraps. It was overall a great experience, and we are still so stuffed! read more

It sounds like you had a wonderful dining experience at Juqi! The…
4.5 stars. Loved how intricate the interior decor was, honestly felt like I was eating at a restaurant in China (in fact, the entire Tanagram mall feels like a mall in China). Prices were slightly on the pricier side, especially given the Flushing location (more expensive than some elevated Chinese spots in Manhattan/Brooklyn/LIC). We ordered: - Peking duck (half duck) -- this was honestly just ok, good, but not super great. Though our server showed us how to roll the wrap tightly using chopsticks that I will carry with me as a life skill. Duck came really late, we had finished all the other dishes before it arrived. - Chinese cabbage with sesame paste -- this was one of my favorites, 10/10 would recommend. sooo good, especially if you like the peanut/sesame sauce taste. - Royal style barbeque lamb -- the friends I came with really enjoyed this dish, but I personally thought it was too much seasoning (the same seasoning on lamb skewers). It's served on a sizzling grill, and portions are quite large. It was also a bit pricy at $39. - Stewed assorted seafood with vermicelli -- would honestly skip next time. The shrimp was quite bland, though vermicelli had a nice texture. - Eggplant of that autumn year -- one of my favorite dishes, 10/10. It's deepfried eggplant in maybe XO sauce (tastes slightly fishy in the best way possible), would eat this again and again. read more
We came here for lunch after wanting to try Peking duck for the longest time. They have a tablet to sign up for the wait list and texted when the table was ready. The staff members were extremely helpful. Our server, Yoko, is very nice and helped answered any questions we had about the menu. We took our time reading the menu and everyone was very patience. The food was delicious, extremely flavorful and a good amount as well. The decor is nice in here but it is on the louder side which is good for us since we have a toddler with us. read more

Service (5/5): You jump on a virtual queue using an iPad at the front entrance where they update the wait times depending on your party size. They provided a toothpick and hand wipes at the start of the dining experience that you can use for later. The food came out all at once with lightening speed so we definitely were not prepared for that. They also packed up all our food for us! Ambiance (5/5): The inside is beautifully ornate with detailed decorations throughout. The back has private dining rooms and private space as well. The way to the bathroom is gorgeous. Drinks: The cocktails were delicious and also beautiful. Food: The dishes were all beautifully plated. Some with extra flare in the presentation (displayed in chests, fire, dry ice, chefs cut the duck in front of you, etc.) The below are the dishes from best to worst: * Sliced Beef in Chili Oil (5/5): this was my favorite but also I love spice. For several at our table, it was too spicy. The meat was very tender! * Peking Duck (5/5): the crispy bite with caviar on it was divine. The duck comes with several sheets of wraps to enjoy. A worker also helped to demonstrate how to make them prior to. The gloves were necessary to keep the mess contained. * Pork Belly Casserole (5/5) - the braised pork belly was very tender, not dry at all, and had a nice flavor. * Eggplant (5/5): this is such a unique way to cook eggplant! The bites were lightly battered and fried. I loved it. * Crispy Shrimp (4/5): Lightly battered but delicious and perfectly cooked. I don't usually eat shrimp so I can't rate it with justice. * Leaf Mustard (4/5): Cooked with a nice crisp. * Stir fried sliced fish (3/5): This was way too thick of a batter. While the taste of the batter was good, it didn't feel like I was eating much of the fish. * Lucky Bag (2/5): The dumplings were beautifully presented but lacked any sort of flavor. * Fried Tofu (2/5): Came with ketchup and mustard but the tofu itself had zero flavor. Inside was soft tofu which surprised me. * Mr. Rabbit Mashed Potato (1/5): the picture was nice but the taste fell flat. Something about how it tastes was not palatable read more

A phenomenal banquet we had here on this 7th day of everyone's birthday on this Year of the Dragon. Cozy and well decorated was the private room. Impeccable was the service. Jaw dropping presentations. Exciting and delicious was course after course. A few of my personal favorites out of the twenty courses were their Peking Duck, especially the skin with caviar, Spicy Lobster, Smoked Pig Knuckles, Royal Style BBQ Lamb, and, Sticky Rice with Pork & Sausage covered with Squid Ink. It's lovely to have selected and invited my family and friends in New York to this spectacular evening. Without a doubt I'll be back many times over! CHEERS! read more

A solid spot in the heart of Flushing, located inside Tangram Mall. They are known for their Peking duck, but I thought the other dishes were equally tasty as well. My favorite dish was the Royal Style Barbeque Lamb, and would definitely recommend the Juqi Fried Rice if you want a fire show! Overall, service is very attentive and the interior decor is quite cool. Beware of congestion in the Tangram Mall parking lot downstairs though...it took almost an hour to leave due to traffic (and poor design)! read more
Come here for their unique creations and their Peking duck. Service was great. The menu is on their iPad but the staff will help explain the menu if needed. They have a variety of dishes that are quite creative that I did not get a chance to try yet. I'll have to come back another time. Duck is a must since that's what they specialize in. The soft fried tofu was quite delicious along with the vermicelli noodles. The presentation on the sticky black rice was pretty cool but the dish itself was okay. read more

Upscale Chinese food in Tangram mall. The servers were attentive and the place is clean. We ordered half a Peking duck, black fried rice and lamb dish. The Peking duck comes with 2 free steamers of wrappers and you can pick whether to have soup or "fried" for the leftover duck bones. The lamb was tender and flavorful. Black rice came with a light up fire show but it was our least fav of the meal. Would prob skip this the next time I'm back. Overall, this was a nice experience and we would come back for the duck and lamb. read more

Food is about a 3.5 Ambiance and service is a 4.5 There's usually an hour+ wait but we were lucky and got a table for 3 without a reservation on a cold friday night. I was drawn in by their Peking duck and cute desserts. They do a great job with presentation but the taste itself was lacking a bit for me. You order from a tablet but the english descriptions were vague. I didn't realize the mashed potato bunny and duck dumplings were cold. A must get is the crispy eggplant. It has great texture and nice flavor! The porkbelly with cauliflower was good too but a bit too oily. Overall, an interesting experience but you pay for the fluff. Food is hit or miss. read more

This is my second attempt to try this restaurant. The first time I tried to walk in but gave up when I was told it'll be a 90min wait on a Sunday night. This time, I made a reservation which was fairly easy and they normally have reservations available 2 weeks out. My party and I arrived 10mins earlier than our reservation time. We were told they are preparing our table and we were seated right on the dot at our reservation time. You'll find yourself transported back to old Beijing as soon as you walk into the restaurant while the traditional decor provides a comfortable and immersive dining experience. They have a good amount of selections on the menu highlighting an array of traditional Beijing cuisine dishes. The Peking duck was definitely the highlight of our meal. The duck was roasted to perfection with super crispy skin. The meat was a little under seasoned in my opinion but it was just right when paired with the sauce, cucumber and scallions. Each wrap was separated with a piece of wax paper which made it so much easier to pull them apart. Another dish we really liked was the rice in lobster broth. The broth was very aromatic as soon as it was brought to our table. I love the fact they crisped up the rice before boiling it in the broth so that it soaks up the broth while maintaining its texture. It was very well seasoned and the broth wasn't too thick where it'll be too filling. The stir fried sliced fish was also one of our favorite. It was perfectly fried and it didn't lose its crispiness even though it was tossed in their well balanced sweet and sour sauce. The seafood vermicelli was very tasty and I love that I was topped with fish roe which gave it different layers of texture. Some of the dishes, although were still ok but fell a bit short on flavors. The litchi shrimp balls sounded interesting with a spectacular presentation. However, it was only a shrimp ball made to look like a lychee. It wasn't as crispy as I would like and it would be nice if they actually made a lychee inspired dipping sauce to go with it. The balsamic vinegar sauce that paired with the hairtail was a bit watery and it would be nice if it was a little thicker so that the roll can be coated with it. Overall, I think the dishes are solid. The price is reasonable and I was surprised by the large portion size. Our server also made our dining experiences so much more enjoyable as he was very attentive, friendly,professional, and did a great job with explaining each dish to us. This restaurant deserves a solid 4.5 stars and I would love to go back to try out other dishes they have to offer. read more

When I called the staff said you don't have gluten free option but when I looked at a customer review you did offer it. Can you kindly let me know if you still offer gluten free options?
What are the best dishes here besides Peking duck?
Is there an english menu?
Of course they have an English menu. They also speak English as well
I see there is a half Beijing duck for $59. As a solo diner, can i order this and get the full experience with buns, crispy skin, soup etc served in multiple courses?
You will not get the entire experience as with getting the whole duck. With the half, you will only get the steam wraps along side the duck. You will then get to choose btwn the soup or the fried bones. So you get a two course meal.
Is the menu only in Chinese or is there a menu in English so that people who are not so fluent with mandarin can order?
Both English and Chinese on the menu
