Peking Duck House was a fun, feast-style experience with standout dishes and a few misses. Setting: Classic, bustling spot that gets very loud downstairs, especially with large groups. Service: Efficient and accommodating for our group of 10, and the BYOB wine setup is a plus. Food & Drinks: We ordered a ton, including green beans, cold sesame noodles, chow mein, crispy beef, fried rice, and of course the Peking duck. Highlights were the crispy beef, green beans, and the duck itself which was delicious. The wraps for the duck were thicker than expected, almost like a tortilla, and some of the other dishes fell a bit flat. read more

Great food and service We were a group of four and the duck was very good We shared a couple of other dishes, all was very good read more

Place is always busy but they still can get you table without a long wait. Service is ok-they wont be checking on you every few mins but they are attentive. Their best deal is their duck. Its soooo good and comes with pancakes and veggies. We also ordered rice with it and it was good for 4 ppl. Highly recommend their duck. read more

I made a reservation for a group of 10 people on a Saturday night. We were seated downstairs at a big round table It is BYOB We ordered the banquet dinner and as 10 girls, it was way too much food The fish and vegetables were good, but honestly everything else was basic, okay. The highlight of our meal was the Peking duck and in hindsight we would just order 3 Peking ducks, some veggies and call it a night. They do wrap the Peking ducks for you which was nice! We had so many leftovers Pro tip: you can ask to wrap up the Peking duck carcass to bring home and make rice porridge or soup! read more

This Was the best food I had in New York for it being my first time in NYC and 2nd time in New york and first time eating duck this was the best food ive ever had in New York read more

Second time here after a long time & i'm glad i came back. Our third pick after realizing that most places in Chinatown close earlier compared to pre covid. Came on a Sunday at 8pm and we got seated fast. Party of 10 with family from out of town. Nobody wanted the peking duck But happy with the rest of our order. Place is clean and little more formal, and staff seems friendlier & less rushed than most places in Chinatown. Recommends this place esp for a bigger group. read more

great food and great service - been eating there for 20 years. They have a private room if you have a very large group.

nice space works well for large parties and celebrations (especially to share duck together). the peking duck wraps are a little bigger and thicker than im used to (felt more like a tortilla). the place is byob (except for beers which they sell. helped us like our candles for our cake (as well as like 5 other peoples). the duck is delicious and juicy. wouldnt mind coming back here read more

Team lunch at Peking Duck House in Chinatown. Table cloth Chinese, excellent service, nicely decorated on the main floor. More pros than cons. BYOB with exception for beer as they sell it. Sesame cold noodle was fantastic Spring rolls were excellent Dumplings pan fried with pork were very good Soup dumplings were perfect Honey ribs were not good, my preference is for traditional red sauces ribs...no flavor Beef on the stick was awesome Shredded beef was excellent Duck was beautiful but lacked flavor if that is possible, I ate the duck without the pancake or sauce...the sauce helped...still good not great Orange chicken was very good I did not have the rice or noodles I would definitely return Thankfully I did not pay the bill read more

Did the 2 person dinner special. Did not realize how much food there was going to be. It was very filling. Can byob which was nice. The wraps for the duck were quite large. Duck flavor was good. Would mainly come back for the duck. The lamb entree was very saucy. All in all, not a bad spot for Peking duck read more

Hit this up with the family for the holidays, and was reminded their veggies here are quite good, too. Mixed veggies in a brown sauce and the spinach with garlic were both very tasty, although a little greasy. Yes, there was the duck (and we took home the bones for soup and cooking), and they showed you the full and carved near your table - that always entertains the kids. Delicious and crispy and fatty. read more

The place for duck. Great presentation. Speedy service. Will return! Nostalgic decor. Like a movie set.

Peking Duck House with old friends for the classic duck dinner for four ($51 per person). The white tablecloths and formal setup still bring some charm, even if the experience feels a bit dated. The appetizers--spring roll, dumpling, and beef skewer--were just okay. Nothing to complain about, but nothing to write home about either. The Peking duck was still the star: crispy skin, tender meat, and the traditional pancakes, though we missed the old-school tableside carving. For entrees, we went with more American-leaning options, but they were surprisingly well-prepared. The string beans stood out--fresh, well-seasoned, and nicely cooked. Bathrooms are located down a steep flight of stairs from the main dining room, so keep that in mind. Overall: mixed. It's not what it used to be, but if you're craving duck and want a slightly more formal Chinatown spot, it still has its place. read more

I noticed this restaurant on my way to another restaurant in Chinatown. Growing up in New York, going to Chinatown to get Peking Duck was a treat for special occasions. Seeing the sign made me nostalgic. I decided to try it out at lunch time. The Peking Duck was too expensive for me to feel comfortable putting it on my expense account. I ended up getting the Prawns in Hot Spicy Sauce. The Prawns were in a sauce full of onions, green onions, ginger, and garlic that had been thickened with cornstarch. The prawns were large and tasted fresh. The dish came with steamed white rice which served as a great base. The decor was quite upscale. All the tables had linen tablecloths and napkins. This struck me as a good place to come have a business meal when in the Chinatown area. read more

We were a group of 7 and went around 4:30p. My Taiwanese friend said her family has been coming to this specific restaurant for the past 30 years, so that's a vote of confidence! They were very accommodating and put tables together for us. The place is clean and nice. We ordered Peking duck, of course, which the chef cut up in front of us. It came with the thin tortilla looking things, special sauce as well as cucumber and green onion. We also had fried fish, which was so fresh (the fried batter was perfectly done), sweet and sour shrimp, green string beans in a yummy sauce, a light and refreshing tofu and cabbage soup and pork chops. The pork chops were soooo delicious (I wish I remembered the name but they ordered). read more

The Peking Duck still is very good as you would expect. Unfortunately the rest of the food is merely ok. I have been to Peking Duck House many times over the last several decades, but sadly it is not as good as it used to be. read more

Duck was good Chinese food was mid. Ordered the duck and asked them to bring the whole duck chopped up after they sliced it. They usually take the corpse after cutting it for you but still tons of meat on the duck that you don't get. Place is crowded, crammed, and loud. read more

OMG! Recently went back for the Peking Duck and it was disappointing! From the craving on the duck/skin to the dish with duck meat, and the soup with the bone, it was just not up to par at all. Soup was really really bland. Also noticed that it was a Friday night and surprisingly we were the only Asian, the whole time we only saw non Asian customers dinning. That should tell us this place has fallen from grace, as it used to be the go to place for Peking Duck in Chinatown back in the days. read more

Came here on a food tour so we didn't get the full experience but it was still delicious! Peking duck is amazing. You could hear the crisp in the skin as they were carving the duck. Absolutely delicious and smelled amazing. The wafts of the chicken as they cut it up was insatiable. The string beans were fine read more

A really easy spot to miss, Peking Duck House is a must try for anyone looking for some delicious Peking duck! The exterior is a bit shoddy but inside is a really spacious and nice restaurant with ample seating. It does get busy around the evenings, especially on Fridays and Saturdays. The Peking Duck dinner is $59 per person for half a duck, soup, a variety of appetizers, any entree on the menu, fried rice, and fresh fruit. I loved the Shrimp Sizzling Rice soup over the Wonton soup. I felt it had a lot more flavor and was just better overall. Of course, the Wonton soup was good but not anything remarkable. The apps include Chicken with Pinenut in a lettuce cup, BBQ Beef, a Spring Roll, and a steamed Vegetable Dumpling. You get one piece of each - I liked the Chicken and the Beef, especially the latter, which was well made and tender with tons of flavor. The roll and dumpling were average but still good. Finally, the Duck! It was carved tableside, which was a nice touch. The Peking Duck came with hoisin sauce, celery and cucumbers, and crepes to wrap it in. It was so delicious - very crispy yet tender and juicy and succulent. It paired well with the sauce, cucumbers, and crepe. My only qualm is the portion - I felt it was a small amount for the price and for two people to share. For our entree, we got the Crispy Duck, which was also delicious but 2nd to the Peking Duck. The Crispy Duck was cripsy but a bit on the saltier side, which I didn't like. Lastly, the fruits that we got for dessert was my least favorite. It was clear that the fruit wasn't fresh as the cantaloupe looked soggy and the kiwi looked dry - honestly, I would have preferred no dessert than the fruits. Overall, this was a good spot for Peking Duck, although it is on the pricey side. It's a really nice and clean spot and can accommodate large parties. I recommend checking it out if you're in the area and craving Peking duck. read more

I've been coming here soon after they first opened. Once I tried their duck, all other venues were compared to the one here. The variety of sides are plentiful. Service is attentive and courteous. They do serve beer, but if prefer wine, you bring your own. The ambience allows one to enjoy the food and your company. Noise is minimal and though the wait service is attentive they don't hover. read more

Was fortunate to revisit Peking Duck House. As remembered, it's the best...and that includes having it in Beijing. Service is impeccable thanks to Chris and A.K. Many thanks to Steve whom is the "host with the most" in securing a reservation and directing us to a wine shop (as it's a BYOB restaurant). Can't wait to return. read more

Came here just for duck and it was OK. Slightly above average if that but overall nothing crazy Extremely small dining but that's normal. They do a table side duck carving which is fancy. The duck itself was moist and slightly crispy skin a great amount of fat to meat ratio. What I disliked is that they had SO much meat left on the carcass but they stopped once the plate is full of meat. In Houston they usually make a soup or stir fry the leftovers but after eating we figured it wasn't coming. I ended did asking if I could have the carcass which I'm glad they gave me cause I paid for a whole duck. I would like to eat the whole duck. LOL. Apparently they don't cause a choking issue in the past? But safe to say I destroyed that Carcass read more

I can't speak to the signature "Peking Duck" which is only available for 4 or more diners. "Crispy Duck" 1/2 duck for 2 people is not a substitute- it was tough, dry and flavorless. Noodle with vegetables also bland and overcooked. "Triple delight" seafood was steam-table fare. Upscale dining room was nice, but service was abrupt despite the empty dining room. read more

Came here with a big family group of 9 and had an amazing experience. The Peking duck was absolutely delicious--crispy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. Every dish we ordered was so good, and that's saying a lot with a group this size. Everything came out fresh and tasted incredible. It was a great place for a family dinner, and everyone left happy and full. Would definitely come back and highly recommend! read more

I've eaten here plenty of times over the 50 years I've lived and worked in NYC and its specialty and signature dish, Peking Duck, has always been great. Went there in August and was sadly disappointed on many levels. The Peking Duck was less flavorful than on previous visits. The soup dumpling appetizer was served even though they were not fully cooked. The price was higher than I've paid for the same dish in other restaurants in other cities with a large Asian population; most notably Houston, TX. In comparison, Peking Duck House Chinatown is a poor value because it charges extra for duck soup and an additional 10 pancake wrappers. Everywhere else, and for a lower price, duck soup and a total of 20 pancake wrappers are included in the cost of the dish. Plus, the higher cost of the Peking Duck House Chinatown's dish is, sadly, not reflected in the quality, taste, and presentation of the dish. Bottom line - there's no value in the Peking Duck House Chinatown's signature dish; as I've found better Peking Duck elsewhere for a lower price. Won't ever be going back. read more

A group of 3 of us dined at Peking Duck House located in Chinatown, NYC on a winter Friday evening. They also have another location in NYC as well. It was about a 15 minute wait before we were seated. This restaurant actually gets packed. It's totally fancy inside with white table cloth and showcases their silverware. Their waiters spoke really good English. It's one of those restaurant you can bring your clients, go with a group of friends or dine with family. It's really worth it to go with a group. Peking Duck House signature dish is its duck. Their menu is customized in such a way where you can order 1/2 duck for a group of two or four. So there were three of us and we were able to order 1/2 duck for a group of 2. Our orders came with two soups, four spring rolls, chicken with peanuts that's served with salad leaf and a few beef skewers. Our order came with one entree so we decided to get the shrimp fried rice. Now back to the duck, they sliced it up into pieces and served in a plate. They also served with a taco kinda wrap, celeries, cucumbers and this brown sauce that's addicting. The duck is then seasoned and roasted, often in a vertical oven, until the skin is crispy and golden. Basically you can make your own duck taco. It's the most delicious, tasty and crispy duck I'd ever tried. You can also bring your own wine which is always a plus. Excellent services! A bit pricey, but overall the food was delicious and atmosphere was just amazing. Enjoy! read more

I have been here twice and enjoyed the food here. The decor is classy and service is attentive. The Peking duck is wonderful and the skin is very crispy with tender and juicy meat. The they carve the duck at tableside. I also got the stir fried string bean that was good and the lamb chop which was decent. Prices is a little steep but expected for Peking duck. read more

Peking Duck House in New York's Chinatown was absolutely fantastic! We were here for their namesake - Peking Duck of course! Th king Duck melts in your mouth and pairs perfectly with the thin pancake, hoisin and scallions. I love the steamed thin pancakes as opposed to the thicker fluffier bao buns. It's $47 per person for the Duck and the chef comes out and slices it table side! This is a must order! We also ordered orange chicken and snap peas! So delicious and paired well with our duck! The ambiance is great for date night or parties! read more

We ordered takeout here every week for last 5 years for the 1/2 Peking duck meal. It was always pancakes, scallions/cucumbers, duck and sauce packed individually. Today, we got it and the Peking duck is rolled for you already onto 4 pancakes. It was so bad. Too saucy and and no crispy duck skin. Just disappointed and not good. We called them and they said they did that because "some people don't know how to roll them" but in reality they are giving you scraps and pawning them off as a Peking duck meal. Never again. Please beware if you are ordering takeout. read more

Food is over price in this place cause it's not a very delicious and it's not like the iconic or authentic Chinese food even when the place it's called duck house they don't serve only a piece of duck. You have to buy the whole duck, if you wanna try. The service was not impressive. I remember if I am in Chinatown, it's better to eat in a traditional Chinese place with local Chinese people serving their traditional duck read more

This place is a staple of NYC. Great food, BYO, classic atmosphere. Definitely a repeatable dinner experience.

I have been going to the Peking Duck House every year with my family around Christmas. We have always enjoyed our experience there, from the service to the ambiance to food. However l, this year there was a notable decline in the quality of the dishes. The service was still very good. However, I will think twice before going back. read more

We wanted a lot of duck and we got it. A whole duck was sliced (not shredded) for the three of us and we scoffed it no problem. Delicious thick pieces of duck with crispy skin. Yes we made pancakes but really we just wanted another whole duck. Good value and good service. The boys on the next table had a bottle of wine and a bottle of whiskey with their duck. Admirable but less time handling duck if you have to handle bottles as well. Highly recommended. read more

The best of Chinatown! Outstanding Peking Duck which is crispy skinned and delicate pancake. Also enjoyed their barbecue Lamb Chops but found the wonton soup and Hot and sour soup to be just ordinary. The beef in broccoli was good but not as great as the Peking Duck. I do like getting a table towards the back so you can actually see the chef cutting up the duck. read more

This used to be one of the best places to go for duck. The fact that it is BYO and you can have a big, lovely red wine with your duck at retail prices made this place a gem. Sadly, it seems Peking Duck House is a shadow of its former self. We recently walked in on a Monday at 9:05pm and were told the kitchen was done for the night. They acknowledged that they listed themselves as open until 10pm but they just decided to call it early. I used to always suggest this place as a great work team dinner spot over the last 20 years but I will not be doing that going forward nor will I return. read more
