    Duck soup
    Melodi F.

    Sunday visit, Short waiting time (under 5 minutes) and Fast serving I really enjoy their thin wrap and the remaining bones to be made into soup. Highly recommend the soup!! Their lamp chop is not spicy despite how it looks but enjoy the crunch! They have other dishes I would love to try next!

    very good!!My friends and I really enjoy it。We'll be back! very good!!My friends and I really enjoy it。We'll be back!

    The food is soooo good! The Peking duck is absolutely fantastic, and the price is very reasonable. The half duck ($59) comes with different options for how to prepare the remaining duck frame, and everything we tried was incredibly tasty. One of my good friends recommended this place after coming here multiple times, and now I totally understand why! This has definitely become a must-return spot for us too. We'll absolutely be back!

    After having a not-so-great lunch today at a nearby Chinese restaurant down the block, I said to myself, "Why not make it better by having a second lunch at Juqi?" I was craving wheat gluten, so we decided to stop in--and I'm so glad we did! We were seated immediately upon walking in. I ordered the Braised Wheat Gluten with Shrimp and a white rice, while Hubby had the homemade dumplings. Both dishes were absolutely delicious, but my wheat gluten dish truly stood out! It was flavorful, satisfying, and exactly what I had been craving. The entire team was professional, friendly, and welcoming. Selena was especially outstanding--she was warm and courteous and made us feel very well taken care of throughout our meal. Needless to say, we left happy and completely satisfied. It was the perfect way to turn a disappointing lunch into a much better dining experience. We're so glad we came here for our second lunch!

    Royal Style Barbeque Lamb

    Juqi is an upscale Chinese spot in the Tangram mall with a huge menu and flavorful dishes! To get in the waitlist, you can use Minitable or sign up on the iPad with the hostess. The inside decor is super nice and reminds me of places like CheLi and Szechuan Mountain House so it's great for a nice dinner out. I did also see they had a ton of private room space in the back for events. We tried a few dishes here but my favorite was the Royal Style Barbeque Lamb! The portion was huge with the meat being super juicy, tender, flavorful and had a mild spiciness to it.

    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.

    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.

    Birdcage dining! Only one

    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.

    Great environment and nice Beijing cuisine. Modern and classic furnitures. Didn't taste the roasted duck, but the lamb and lazi Chicken taste great!

    Came here for the Peking duck and it did not disappoint! The duck was crispy, juicy, and really flavorful. We ordered a few other dishes to share as well and everything was good. Definitely a great spot when you're craving Peking duck!

    All our leftovers that we couldn't take home bc of how bad it was :( so wasteful but there's no point of taking home inedible food...
    Tina S.

    Please read before going here. First things first, I LOVE duck. I eat it often in China and make it at home when I'm craving it so I am very familiar with what good Beijing duck is supposed to taste like and be like. I'm sad to report that this was one of the worst things I've eaten in a long time. The duck was not executed well. Im mourning this experience. It looked so pretty but taste/texture was so bad. The skin is not rendered out well at all so each bite feels like you're eating a spoon of oil. Seriously. Especially since the slices were all thick skin fat with little to no meat. The duck overall is VERY very very unappetizingly oily. Of the few pieces of actual duck meat on the plate, it was flavorless and dry which is confusing bc everything else is like a mouth full of oil. Since you are paying 109$ for a duck, it reasonable to expect it to be at least somewhat tasty. My first bite had this old oil/exhaust like flavor which confused me. I kept trying to give the duck another chance because I really didn't want to waste food, but it only got worse. (Our total cost for this meal nearly 200$ for two people, for it to be inedible like that is heartbreaking). We couldn't take more than a few bites because of how nauseating and sickening the food made us feel. I've been wanting to try this place out for a while now, especially after seeing a video on how the duck is made, I was intrigued by the "authentic" process, but after trying this place, I'm sad to say its not good. Maybe something went wrong with the duck we had or they were having an off day? Nevertheless, I've never had an experience where the food is too bad to eat and too bad to take home because I hate wasting food. We wanted to take the leftovers To-go but we realized there was no point on taking back leftovers if they were most likely not going to be eaten. We left disappointed, nauseous, queasy, and sad. There's a sign on the table that incentives customers to leave 5star reviews in exchange for a free dessert. I'm assuming this is the main reason they have "good reviews" online because it's definitely not because of the food. The ambiance was cool tho, vibey, but servers were on the apathetic side, which is fine IF the food is amazing but it's not!! if you're going purely for the vibes, just go to mountain house or something. At least the food would be good too. This restaurant is in all honestly, not worth the long wait, time, or money. A heartbreakingly bad experience :(

    Yoko our server was pretty awesome! Recommended few items to us! We got the pork intestine & pork belly, the chili chicken, the beef tendon soup, the Peking duck and more

    Ask the Community - Juqi

    Does this restaurant do take out?

    Yes

    Will they show you how to roll and eat the Peking duck?

    Yes!

    Is Peking Duck available for take out?

    Are there gluten-free options?

    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?

    Is there a credit card surcharge?

    We don't have this charge

    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.

    Do they serve alcoholic beverages?

    Yes they serve beer and wine. Cannot BYOB

    Do they take reservations?

    Yes.

    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

    Is there parking space?

    Cuisine: 6 Service: 7…read moreDecor: 4 Value: 7 I have not been here in a long time. Maybe because the prices are no longer considered cheap eats. Or maybe because my taste buds have evolved over the years. Or maybe it's just not as good as it used to be. The answer is maybe all three and somewhere in the middle. I have never came here, or any other Latino-Chinese restaurants in NYC, for service or decor, so let's set that aside. The value is still somewhat there, but the food did not hit that nostalgic note I was looking for. I wanted to get the Fried Pork Chops (Chuletas De Cerdo Frita), but our server suggested the "juicier" Broiled Pork Chops (Chuletas De Credo Asada) instead. Sorry to report, if that's juicy, then how dry is the fried pork chops? I shutter at the thought. It was also under seasoned. I substituted the House Fried Rice for my side at an $4.50 additional fee. It was just okay and not worth the upgrade. Boneless Crispy Fried Chicken (Chicharron De Pollo) was also a disappointment. The batter was more hard than crispy, but the idea that boneless dark meat isn't more juicy simply tells me that the chef over fried the pieces. It came with Fried sweet plantains, which could have been a but more ripe but not bad. I'm not sure how I feel about the Beef Stew (Carne Guisada), which had relatively tender meat, but the sauce was so weak and lacked any real flavor. The black beans and white rice that came with it was decent. What might bring me back to this restaurant sooner rather than later was the Shrimp Egg Foo Young (foo Young Con Camarones). I felt that the eggs were cooked extremely well, but the star of the show was that delicious brown sauce full of umami. Having this over white or fried rice made this meal much more acceptable. I'm not sure when I'll have another craving for this type of food. If I do, I'll definitely get the egg foo young again. However, the other dishes were misses for me, so maybe I'll try the Fried Pork Chops and Shredded Beef in Tomato SayceRopa Vieja.

    Whether you speak Spanish or Cantonese, the waiters here can help get you whatever dish your heart…read moredesires. It's amazing to step into this restaurant, it's like stepping into another world where anything is possible. I feel like home whenever I come here. My favorable dishes are the combo dishes because I can choose fried rice or noodles or French fries with a meat usually, Yummylicious to the core!

It helps that we speak the language that we got a little more comedic interaction with him! He was a hoot and was helpful in providing us advice on the # of dishes and what to get. I'd say everything is authentic to the Shanghainese cuisine so I'm a little biased that I loved every dish! A fish dish was suggested but we opted for our usual favorites: Scallion Pancake -made fresh as you can tell from the crunch Soup dumplings - super fresh, delicious inside, plenty of soup, perfect ratio of skin to meat Chow Fun - classic, look at the heaping amount of beef portioned on top!!

Then the server Bill, started acting like a used car salesman. He said he would give us a sake cause it was his birthday, but didn't tell us we were going to get charged for it. Also before my brother got there, he said that since it was his birthday, he would bring out a "banana boat" which was just 5 scoops of ice cream and some cut up banana. When we got the bill he not only charged us for both, but that banana boat was $30! When we asked about it, he argued with us saying that he didn't tell us the price of every single thing that we bought... very rude. We also tried to order two orders of regular soup dumplings and two orders of the truffle. He kept rushing our order, and then tried to change our order to four orders of the truffle. We weren't sure if we would like it yet, and kept pushing back but he wouldn't take no for an answer (that being said the truffle was good, but I'm definitely a purist and preferred the regular soup dumplings). We also ordered the kau fu but it was not good, and tasted too much of five spice. The cha cha mien was fine, but a bit small and a little bland. The rice cakes were good, but the rice cakes were not al dente enough for me. We also got the fried rice, which was fine, but nothing to write home about. Finally we got a fried tofu dish which was good and had a lot of tofu in it. Overall, this server ruined our experience. The food is fine, but there are other Shanghainese restaurants in the area and would visit those over this place.
