The best Beijing duck in Flushing Queen highly recommended. They cut the duck at the table and service was excellent

food was amazing the atmosphere was stunning and the staff was very accommodating and kind

Located in flushing within a mall, this might have been one of the top restaurants in NYC that I have been to, and am looking forward to coming again. There was a long wait as we put our names down for a party of four, but there is a lot to do in the mall as you wait. Our party of four was able to get seated on a Sunday afternoon after about 30 mins or so. The indoors is very well decorated and it has a nice dimly lit atmosphere. Something this place does do really well is the plating and presentation. Our first appetizer were these shrimp balls and they served 9 items on this really stunning tree holder. We ordered pork, some boiled bok choi, and Peking duck. I think in NYC this was the best Peking duck experiences I have had. They provided a large variety of toppings more than just the basic green onions. They ask if you want the bones boiled or fried afterwards. They provide a large amount of wraps for you to enjoy, and the duck was prepared beautifully. Now this place does get pricey but my friends and I loved our visit. They show you how to make each roll, they provide plastic gloves are you prep the duck rolls. Will definitely plan to come back, every thing we ate was fantastic and we had a great time. It does get a bit pricey however. read more

Walked past this place many times (hard to miss with the drums in the front) but never actually tried them until today. To preface.. I'm not a big fan of duck at all but my husband and family are so we gave this a go. We ordered the 5 dishes, one of which was the Peking duck and another the lion's head (huge meatball). Not a fan of the duck but my grandma and husband were. They do show you their neat trick on wrapping the duck so that's pretty cool. Also took the remaining duck to be fried with salt and pepper (you have other options like soup..) but that was too salty for us. Really enjoyed the clams and veggie dish as well! We brought my toddler and they gave her steamed egg which was really nice! Overall top notch service and good food! Accommodating for toddlers which is nice and even she ate more than usual. read more

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. read more

The food was pretty good. We ordered the whole peking duck, lamb, duck dumplings, fried rice, jajianmein (pretty good and thankfully my kids could eat bc the pines nuts came separately so we didn't add in) , tofu pork and intestines stew (this was the favorite). They gave us broad beans, fried wontons and seaweed for apps. When I asked for seconds they brought another over. I ordered myself a lychee drink. Service wasn't the greatest. Even though there wasn't enough room they were a bit brusque and rude imho bringing things and moving things on our table. Even when heading to the restroom the rest of the wait staff were not pleasant and didn't move while standing in the narrow walkway to the restrooms. The place wasn't cheap but we were able to use my son's student id to get a 10% discount at least. read more

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 read more

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. read more

Amazing Peking duck, the crispiest eggplant and well balanced cold sesame noodles with chicken. The duck was so good; there are not enough adjectives to describe how good it was. Next time I would go with a larger group to share the wealth. I loved the crispy skin bite with caviar and cucumber and the pancake wrapping lesson - though I did not follow the tight wrapping method, I managed a looser wrap just as well. The cold sesame noodles with chicken had a nice smokiness to them and the noodles had a perfect bite. We also Ordered the crispy shrimp balls which were tasty. Service was good and the room was full. There are so many good things on the menu but the duck is a must experience. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Juqi - Duck - Chinese Near Me - Flushing, New York

First time at Juqi - I've seen their location in Manhattan and was always curious about it. Although, when looking it up I do remember always thinking "whoa, it's kinda pricey..." Well, I know why now AND I can tell you I would still come again. First - the place is very traditional Chinese style and very spacious inside. We were seated quick and didn't need a reservation or anything as TBH bf and I came to Flushing to get Dim sum...to find out that our dim sum spot is GONE!! (this is another story) Anyways - there's a digital menu so you can browse and also see straight up how much everything would cost. The staff are also very helpful if you need any assistance esp if you don't speak or read Chinese. Anyways - Juqi is known for their peking duck so we ordered the half duck set. Which also with the leftover pieces or bones (or something) they will ask if you want to fry them or make into a soup. We choose fried (well I would preferred the soup but..haha next time), seafood fried rice, soy sauce chicken, Chinese vegetable and beef with green peppers. All the food came out pretty quick! The duck came out and the server showed us how to properly wrap it up to eat. The duck was tender and skin was soo crispy. It wasn't heavy at all. The soy sauce chicken was properly seasoned and it came with a sweet chili sauce and a ginger oil sauce, both was great. But not needed but that's also preference. The beef and green peppers were so well balanced and beef was soo tender and soft, not dry over overcooked at all. The Chinese vegetable was very simple but crispy (not overly cooked) and the portion was bigger than I thought. Lastly and my favorite dish was the seafood fried rice. It doesn't looked seasoned and even plain but the taste is very clean, simple and elegant . Meaning it's fried rice but it's not greasy from the usual. The taste held well over the next 3 days (leftovers) and I can say that it still tasted as good as the day we ordered it. We had leftovers and I was able to enjoy them for lunch on a work day!!! Win! So yeah it might seem pricey for the food but I think it's worth it. It's the quality of the food and it's deff there. They ensure that the food stands out on it's own without having to cover it all up in heavy sauce or seasoning. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Easily one of my favorite and most memorable dinner from this year. From the spectacular presentation of every single dish to the amazing flavors and delicious quality of ingredients - this was truly and thoroughly a unique dining experience. We came here on a Saturday night with a group of 4 after the US Open and waited about an hour for our table. We shared everything and got to try quite a bit of the menu. Of course we got the Peking duck with caviar which was carved table-side and beautifully plated in a wooden box like the true treasure it is. We also got the braised pork, stir fry noodles, appetizer sampler, mashed potato, fried rice, and shrimp balls. I would get everything again except for the mashed potato - it was oddly sweet and served cold but looked cool regardless. I can't wait to come back here with another group of friends to explore the menu further and enjoy caviar with my Peking duck again! read more

Came here specifically for the Peking duck and it did not disappoint. Service, food, and ambiance were all on point. I really liked that they served the duck with spring roll wrappers. It me of the old Elaine's in Great Neck (RIP). I usually go for the Man Tou style elsewhere, so this was a nice change. One surprise standout was the eggplant. It was fried perfectly. It was crispy on the outside yet creamy on the inside and somehow not greasy at all, which is impressive since eggplant usually soaks up oil like a sponge. They also made a rich broth from the duck bones at the end of the meal, which was incredibly flavorful and felt like a great way to finish. Portions are huge, so next time I'd definitely come with a group to try more dishes. Overall, a really enjoyable experience and I'd absolutely come back. read more

Short wait on a Sunday evening, but I saw that it could get longer with the amount of people on the waitlist after us. Ultimately opted for this place to try the Peking duck. Almost every table I saw ordered it as well, whether it was the half size or the full duck. A waiter comes by and shows you how to put it together with the hoisin sauce and the toppings. You get a plastic glove and make it yourself following their model. The rest of the duck, we used for the soup, which was also delicious. The duck comes in thin slices, easy to roll up, and the skin is very crispy. We ordered a few more things from the menu, including the taste of Beijing appetizers, pork, and vegetables. The taste of Beijing dish was interesting. I was not huge on the mustardy Chinese cabbage, as it was very heavy in a flavor similar to mustard and wasabi? Two things that I don't really like nor like to mix together. There's some strawberry jelly (dessert?) that's shaped like a squid which was sweet, but not too sweet. Okra and garlic sauce, that was neat. I forgot to try the sauce though. The last one was roast beef? There were a lot of slices and easy to share. The menu on the iPad is very visually appealing with English and Chinese. There are pictures for almost every dish (unfortunately no English for the main subtitles like appetizers, main dishes) so we found it a little hard to navigate. The bathrooms are a little cramped, with two stalls and one sink for the females but relatively clean considering the time of night! read more

I found myself at Juqi with my colleagues for a work lunch. I typically do not go out to eat for lunch while working, but this was a special occasion which called for something outside the norm. I went into this totally blind as I'm not familiar with the food scene in Flushing, so I was excited to try a spot that was new to me. Juqi is located inside the Tangram Mall in Downtown Flushing; what struck me about this place from the start is that there are about 20 or so Juqis in Beijing and this was their first one here in the US. As it was a weekday afternoon, the restaurant was not too crowded and we were seated right away. The decor of the restaurant was quite nice - ornate without being tacky or overwhelming. The menu consisted of a variety of dishes which we decided to share. The menu was also electronic, so we browsed and made selections on the screen which made it super easy. As soon as we were seated, we were started with some bites - chicken feet, mung beans, and some crispy roll thing I didn't catch the name of. I did not partake in the feet, but the other two were tasty and good starters. For our actual lunch, we ordered several dishes - a lamb stir-fry, peking duck, sweet and sour fish, seafood fried rice, cauliflower, and black rice. Everything was really good - the duck was carved tableside and served so that we could build our own buns with sides of veg and sauce. They also took some of the skin and made bites topped with caviar. I'm not really a duck person, but this was some of the best I've had. Other standouts for me were the lamb stir-fry and the seafood fried rice. The black rice was almost sticky in consistency, and served flambé, but lacked flavor IMO. Service was good, the staff consistently made sure we we were taken care of and food came out relatively quickly (good since we were crunched for time). Overall, I had a good experience at Juqi - the food was tasty and I wouldn't hesitate to return for another meal. read more

Love the ambiance. It feels like a Beijing-themed restaurant. There's old money on the tables, and the decor feels royal. The service was very attentive, since some of the food you order can be lit on fire. So how did everything taste? - Peking Duck - crispy skin, soft meat, and they teach you how to roll it well. Delicious. - Juqi Fried Rice - it's sticky rice with squid ink and sausage lit on fire. Overall, it's pretty oily. Fun to look at though. - Jelly Hawthorne - shaped like Koi, they're sweet and addictive. I think my favorite appetizer overall. - Mustardy Chinese Cabbage - it's like eating wasabi. I don't like wasabi. Half a Peking duck was enough for two people. I felt like we overate. read more

Nicely designed interior, ambiance and service though the taste is middle of the fairway. We were expecting more given friend recommendations and input from the NY Times but felt that the duck was solid, but nothing noteworthy. Where they win points is their prompt service, attention to detail and aesthetic presentation and interior. Our soup was cooked perfectly and was a nice complement to an otherwise salty meal. When ordering a duck (even the 1/2) they let you pick how you like your second piece of it (you can choose either soup or salt/pepper). In hindsight we wished we went with the soup as the salt/pepper was so salty I couldn't finish. Our vegetables were also quite good and their snack items were also solid too. All in all worth a visit if there's no wait in the Tangram mall, otherwise you can probably pass. read more

We live in MA and drive there a couple of times a year just to have the duck. Authentic Peking Duck for sure. There are so many American Chinese restaurants claim they have Peking Duck but none of them are authentic. This is the real deal. So glad they exist after another Chinese chain shut their door during Covid. Definitely better than the newly opened traditional Chinese chain in Manhattan if you are trying to figure out which one to go to read more

Cool atmosphere, first floor in the Tangram mall, cool design on the inside evoking some traditional Mao-era design and maybe a little older brick and bamboo designs. Check out the cooler at the front with the ducks. Digital menu, and waitlist grows quickly (no reservations on weekends). Make sure your whole party is there, or they'll skip you. Wifi is required as phone service is weak. Duck was overly crispy, dry, and the toast points with duck and caviar was overkill... caviar had more taste than the duck. The sauce was off, and while the show is interesting (cutting the duck, display, and the flaming fried rice), the food taste disappointed. Very thin wraps, though, that was a very nice touch, split by the paper separators. The duck bones salted and fried was probably the best part of the meal. Fried tofu was tasteless, needed some kind of sauce (not the mayo they supplied) to make it better. Limited cucumber and scallion that they provided with the duck (didn't have to pay for it separately, fortunately). Go for the show, but don't expect great food. For $100, I've had much better, cheaper, Peking duck elsewhere in Flushing and Chinatown and other dishes. Service a bit spotty as they were busy. read more

A lot of the dishes here are very flashy, however taste wise I think it is just okay. The sesame cabbage was weirdly sweet and that threw me off.
