The Peking Duck House
The Peking Duck House, 28 Mott St # A, New York, NY 10013
The restaurant I chose for my birthday. I haven't been to Chinatown in many years and felt I wanted to have a Chinese dinner that didn't come out of a paper box!

This white tablecloth restaurant in the heart of Chinatown is obviously known for their Peking duck. There's not as much meat on a duck as you might imagine. BYOB. Beer available.

Some reviews state that the duck is butchered tableside. Certainly, ours was not, it came from the kitchen already sliced and off the bone. Maybe this is because we had the half duck and not a full duck. Through observation, I can tell you that the full duck is not butchered "at the table" it is carved at a table in the middle of the restaurant and then brought to the table. Here is an excellent YouTube video posted by "Mike&Yayee’s Travel and Cooking" posted a week before our visit. |
