JUQI

The dining experience here was absolutely exceptional. Every dish was beautifully presented and full of rich, authentic flavor. The braised dish was especially memorable—perfectly cooked with a silky texture and deep, savory sauce that paired wonderfully with the delicate garnish. The ambiance was warm and inviting, with thoughtful details like the stunning floral presentation that added a unique and elegant touch to the table. It truly felt like more than just a meal—it was an experience. Service was attentive and friendly, making us feel well taken care of throughout. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for high-quality cuisine and a memorable dining atmosphere. Will definitely be coming back!

Came for a birthday dinner and most of the items we ordered were delicious. The tablet to order is massive and for some reason you can’t see the items added in your cart in English. Service was just okay, had to flag down the waiter multiple times for ice water and more tea. Peking duck could’ve been crispier and the second dish, the soup, came out warm. Would highly recommend the tendon, pork belly sour soup, lamb chops, and fried rice.

JUQI is a significant restaurant in Flushing that boasts a huge variety of food and a consistent quality standard. The Beijing Style Zhajiangmian Noodles are excellent, and the Bittern Flapjack is particularly memorable — a balanced dish that truly warms your bowels. However, I would suggest avoiding the Mahjong with nuts and peas; despite its creative look, the taste was disappointing. Because of its popularity, you almost always have to reserve seats or be prepared for a long wait. Overall, it is a sophisticated spot for those seeking diverse and authentic Chinese cuisine.

The Juqi Flushing offers great food and cozy atmosphere. The roasted duck is great, especially for a large party. Not only duck meat is served with a wrap, the duck bones can be served in soup or fried rice. All the other dishes are highly recommended, approved by traditional Peking citizen.

Hands down the best Peking duck I’ve had in a long time! The skin was perfectly golden and unbelievably crispy, with that rich, smoky aroma—flavorful without being greasy. The meat was tender and juicy, not dry at all. The pancakes were thin yet soft, and paired perfectly with the scallions, cucumber, and sweet bean sauce. The staff carved the duck tableside with great skill, and the presentation was super clean and impressive. Friendly service, great quality, and totally worth it. Will 100% come back!

I’ve been to Juqi twice and the food is honestly pretty mediocre. Nothing especially memorable, and definitely not worth the high prices. What really surprised me was how fast everything came out. Our dishes arrived about 5 minutes after we ordered, which makes it feel like most of the food is prepared ahead of time and reheated. I don’t mind premade food if the pricing matches and they are upfront about it, but it feels off when they charge so much and advertise everything as freshly made to order. It just doesn’t match the experience. There are definitely better options in Flushing at this price point.

I had an amazing experience at Juqi! The Peking duck was incredibly authentic — crispy skin, tender meat, and sliced fresh at the table. The duck skin with sugar was a highlight, and wrapping everything with pancakes, cucumber, and sauce was absolutely delicious. The service was friendly and efficient, and the restaurant had a classic Beijing atmosphere that made the meal even more enjoyable. Highly recommended for anyone looking to try real Peking duck. I would definitely come back again!

As someone from Beijing, I’m pretty impressed! The restaurant decor resembles Chinese style structure. The food is pretty authentic and close to what I had at home! The duck is delicious and a must! The brown sugar pancake is a Beijing classic. The eggplant, crispy and sweet

Wait for 15 minutes, but it's worth. Best beijing duck in NYC. Service is good, but I think it can be improved. The environment of the restaurant is quiet.

Juqi is actually a restaurant chain with 20 locations in Beijing that opened a location in Flushing, Queens. While the menu offers all the foods of Beijing cuisine, their specialty is Peking duck. The food here was super fresh and you can can actually see the roast duck hanging as you enter. For two people, I recommend the half duck combo that I ordered. The duck is carved for you and brought to your table with some small appetizers. The pieces of Peking duck are meant to be eaten while wrapped up in these super thin pancakes they provide, with some sauces and vegetables. If you are unsure what to do, the waiter can show you. An added bonus is that they will offer to give you free soup, with the bones of the duck that you've just ordered. Juqi has the best Peking duck I've ever had in my life. The duck meat was super juicy and the skin was the crispiest I've ever experienced.

3.5 stars Service was pretty good, but the food was just okay. My first time at Tangram mall. Found the restaurant after walking around a few mins. We were seated at a table for 4. The decor definitely makes you seem like transported somewhere else. it's interesting.. but L is not Asian and he felt a lil weird, more so by the old style music playing so it like we were in fake old school China. We opted for a pot of hot tea since it was so cold out. So the menu is on a big IPad and you just select what you want.. so we ordered half a Peking duck, the eggplant, pork belly in brown sauce and I ordered a Painkiller cocktail and L tried their milk drink. They put the lil free appetizers out first. Bowls of fried beans, fried won ton strips that are sweetened.. and a spicy sea weed. I thought they were interesting. Tried a lil bit of each. The eggplant came first. I love eggplant but this was cooked and seasoned in a way L even enjoyed it. It was fried and it was sweet and savory. I would've preferred it a lil less seasoning but it was good. The pork belly came next and we mentioned to each other that we had ordered rice and someone was passing by and it was brought out quickly. The pork belly wasn't too seasoned which is fine for me. But I'm sure it could've used a touch more soy sauce or salt to finish the dish. It did taste very homey, I've made this dish myself several times. So kinda expensive... Then the Peking duck came and our waitress showed us how to fold the pancakes.. We're not huge fans of duck so it was good but not something we care for but I wanted to experience it anyway. She asked us if we wanted soup or to fry up the bones. We don't particularly like bones but we said ok just make the spicy fried version. When it came, we didn't care for it. Just not for us. I was really full so even two dishes would've been enough, three wasn't necessary. We did take leftovers home but left the bones. Did not want that.. Overall it was interesting but not something we care for.. everything's so gimmicky...but service was pretty good. I didn't have a bad experience with any of the staff. The drinks...overpriced just like the food. Should def be a few dollars less for each item we ordered but it is what it is..

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.

Very solid Beijing restaurant in Flushing's Tangram Mall. Went there on a Saturday afternoon for lunch and was able to be seated quickly. The interior was nice and spacious, I was definitely surprised with how large it was - it even has private dining rooms. Our table was set up with some light snacks which were all delicious. Similarly, the dishes that we ordered (mouth water chicken, kung pao beef, and the shredded pork) did not disappoint. It was definitely very heavy on flavor but the food tasted great. The service was also attentive here making sure that we were good and helped with recommendations for our order. I would recommend Juqi and will be back to try their Peking Duck which is quite popular.

This restaurant was featured on a bunch of TikToks - so of course I need to come and try it out. This estalishment serves Beijing style cruisine and absolutely love the decor and vibe of the place. The line was out the door once they open but luckily we had a reservation. The star of the show is definately the Peking Duck. Unforuantely, a lot of the dishes missed for me as I dont think my palate agrees with Beijing style flavors.

This is one of the best places for authentic Peking duck in NYC. It is located inside the Tangram mall. From the windows of the restaurant, you can see the ducks being roasted in the furnace. The interior is beautifully decorated and upon entering, you will feel as if you've stepped back in time. All the dishes are beautifully presented and we came here of course, for the Peking duck. We opted for the half Peking duck, which was more than enough for two people. For the leftover duck bones, you can choose between getting a duck bone soup (which I highly recommend) or fried duck rack. The duck skin was ridiculously crispy while the inside bursted with juice and flavor. You can enjoy it as is or classically, build it into your own wrap (they will show you how if it's your first time). Overall fantastic dining experience. Will come back here to try out their other dishes.

After having Juqi on my list since they opened, I finally came to celebrate my mom's birthday. I reserved a room which had a minimum spend of $488 but didn't want to take a chance of having to wait a long line since my grandma was joining. I think for an early lunch, we probably could've just done walk in though. The private room was spacious for the 7 of us, I think it seats 10? Really enjoyed the peking duck - the thin wrapper was so good and stayed soft the entire time! Best ones I've had in awhile. The sweet and sour squirrel dish was a hit, as well as the chicken feet and Steamed Chicken W. Sesame In Chili Sauce. The Royal Style Barbeque Lamb was really good- I don't like lamb but tried one and it was super tender and not gamey. The Litchi Shrimp Balls came out last for some reason, after all our food was served. We were all full at that point but still tried it. Wish it came out earlier as one of the appetizers. It was good but not sure if it was worth the $22 price point. The Chinese Cabbage W. Sesame Paste was recommended to us by our waiter, it was ok but didn't match price point for $14). The spicy tripe dish was also not great - too much green onion! Overall, I'd come back for a normal dinner or lunch!

We visited JUQI on a Saturday afternoon after the lunch peak hours, and we waited about 20 minutes for a table - reasonable for a popular spot. The restaurant's decor and ambiance were beautiful, creating a warm, upscale atmosphere while maintaining a casual and inviting vibe. For the food, we ordered three dishes: 1. Signature Peking Duck (Half) - This dish lived up to its reputation. The duck skin was perfectly crispy, and the meat was tender and juicy. Served with pancakes, scallions, cucumber, and sauce, it was a highlight of the meal and very satisfying. 2. Eggplant Of That Autumn Year - A comforting and flavorful dish. The eggplant was cooked to perfection - soft and rich in taste, enhanced with savory sauces and spices. 3. Glutinous Rice Roll With Sweet Bean - A delightful and slightly sweet end to the meal. The texture of the rice roll was chewy yet soft, with the sweet bean paste adding just the right amount of sweetness without being overpowering. The portion sizes were generous, and by the end of the meal, we were thoroughly full and content. The service was efficient, friendly, and attentive, further enhancing the dining experience. Overall, JUQI impressed us with its quality food, great service, and beautiful decor. The Peking duck alone is worth a visit, and the entire experience makes it a spot we'd happily return to. If you're planning to go, try avoiding the peak hours unless you don't mind waiting for a long time. The wait time is manageable for a late lunch or early dinner.

Note: Juqi is located inside the Tangram mall. Wow, this place is incredible. Came for lunch on a Sunday and our party of 4 only waited for about 20 mins. We ordered: + juqi signature duck (half) + Juqi fried rice + eggplant of that autumn year + Sliced beef in chili oil + Homemade pancake + Cabbage The sliced beef and pancake were my absolute favorite bites. The chili oil that the beef was in was incredible - we were dipping everything in it. The eggplant was particularly good when dipped in it. Would also recommend the signature duck and cabbage. The only miss was the rice, which had fun presentation (they set it on fire) but tasted meh.

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

Last August, we went to this place for peking duck. We got half order of the Juqi signature peking duck, juqi fried rice, and red bean cake. The peking duck was a total disappointment. Might be because we just ordered half of a duck but it was really dry. They didn't even carve it in front of us. I enjoyed the flaming pre-show of the juqi fried rice but I found the rice to be very oily. The red bean cake looked like pieces of a Chinese chess game. It looked cute but the taste was meh.

My fellow Taiwanese friend came from Jersey to catch up and he brought me to Juqi in Tangram. Parking in the lot was a nightmare but the food is better than expected. The half duck was fatty and delicious, paired with the condiments given. Sauerkraut fish was ok, nothing to write home about-skip it. The eggplant was something totally new. It didn't even taste like eggplant. It tastes like adult nuggets with a sweet and mildly spicy sauce .. would totally get again. Cauliflower with pork belly was good but portion size was small, the salt and pepper fried duck bone was the perfect accompaniment to a bottle of white wine (they only have Decoy). Service was on point and the interior makes you forget you're in the US.

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.

Peking duck here is the best I've had in the us. 10/10 come here just for the duck honestly. Huge portions and the skin is the perfect crispness. Rest of the food was great as well, including : Braised pork belly - high quality and not too saucy, which I prefer. 9/10. Cauliflower- can't go wrong, no complaints. Nothing standout though. 7/10. Pork knuckle and cucumber- not bad, reminds me of cold sliced beef that's popular in China, but more tender. Cucumbers were great to offset the heaviness of the pork belly and duck dishes. 8/10. Staff are great at explaining everything and pretty attentive. Clean, bathroom could be slightly nicer but no complaints really! Definitely would recommend for anyone looking for Peking duck.

The food and vibes here are very authentic! Service was great as well! We walked in around 4pm on a Saturday and got seated immediately because the restaurant was fairly empty. By the time we left, this place was already fully packed with the dinner crowds. Of course, you have to get the duck here. The duck was absolutely delicious - crispy skin, juicy and flavorful meat, and overall not too greasy.

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)!

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

Been here a few times and the food has been consistently good. The past couple times, service was very attentive. But this time, I had to ask for things multiple times. We ordered the whole Peking duck which consisted of multi courses. The duck to brought table side and is carved in front of you. They will ask you if you want to take the duck bones home or if you want them to make soup with it. We always opted for the soup. It's very flavorful and peppery. Other recommendations is the charcoal fried rice which has a nice presentation for the table. If you like lamb, their cumin stir fried lamb is another popular dish that is full of flavor. The fried Lychee shrimp balls and fried eggplant were amazingly good. My 4 yr old daughter who is the pickiest eater loved the lychee shrimp balls and kept asking for more. Reservations are highly recommended and can be made online.

I hate to give them a 2 star because the Peking duck was actually really good and they are probably overstaffed and service is really good but I have to deduct 3 stars because 1. I saw an employee go i to the bathroom, do her business and came out without washing her hands. 2. We were seated near the entry and the receptionist was on the phone for more than half of our meal and used the speaker phone. It was annoying and took away from our fine dining experience to hear Chinese language blasting on the phone while we are trying to conversate and eat. If it wasn't for those two issues then I would have given it a five stars but u can't call yourself an upscale Chinese spot and do that. Wish I didn't have to write this but it's very annoying and I lost my appetite:(. Would recommend the duck. On point.

Decor - 5 Service - 4.5 (not always checked on so we had to ring the buzzard a few times for service in a private room) Food - 4.8 Presentation - 10! We loved the theatrics (lighting a dish on fire and turning off the light to watch the igniting flames!!) and artistic presentation, possibly unmatched for a Chinese restaurant in the states. We had a private room with a $600 minimum so we ordered a good amount! Highlights were the Peking duck (with caviar!), the flaming squid ink rice, fresh fish and the crunchy shrimp balls shaped like lychee. Least favorites were the mushy potato creature (a rabbit?) and the red bean dessert. Please consider opening in Chicago!!

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.

No reservation...just walked in on the earlier side of a Monday afternoon. Juqi has been on my list for quite some time because I just love duck. Peking duck is one of my favorite meals to have and Juqi is known for having some of the best duck. Located in Tangram mall, this space is deceiving. There is ample amount of seating with VIP rooms including a bird cage where you can dine in. We had dumplings and an order of the half duck. We didn't get the caviar or the presentation, but I ain't mad about it! The duck was incredible. You know when you're so full but you can't stop yourself because it's just that good. I kept going back for more. We did get a table-side tutorial on how to make a proper portion with the pancake, but after a while we just did our own thing. You also get to choose what you want to do with the bones and left over after. You can get it in a soup or fried. We went with the fried, which was incredible itself. It's simply fried with salt, pepper and what I undertake to be cumin. Absolutely amazing. I hear the soup is just as good if not better. Service was so good, only they aren't that friendly rather they are straight to business, which is delicious duck. And I can appreciate that. Here's to Juqi and another great spot in Tangram.

Came here as a party of 4 on a Monday night and we were probably one of the last seatings of the night. The signature peking duck which is what they are famous for was not crispy, fatty, tasteless and tbh an absolute miss for us. Their fried eggplant was cut so thin and so heavily breaded my husband mistakenly thought it was fried fish. Their braised pig stomach was probably the dish I enjoyed the most but it was very pricey for a small pot that was mixed with dried tofu. Their dan dan noodles was too "beany" for my taste and not saucy enough to mix with the noodles. We ordered a few more dishes but nothing was memorable and overall too expensive for mediocre food. I don't think we will come back for another try.

A nice restaurant in the heart of flushing, located inside of Tangram mall. This place is aesthetically pleasing, from the decor to the food presentation. Some servers didn't speak English but other than having to have someone else translate, the service was good and quick. We had to order on an iPad which made it a bit difficult with a group of 6 but that's ok. The server read our order back to us to confirm. I recommend the Peking duck, fried tofu (extremely soft), eggplant, and the lychee shrimp. For drinks, I liked the blue Hawaiian. Tip- the food is a bit pricey but it is enjoyable.

The restaurant's decor transports you to ancient China (if you ignore the 50" LCDs hanging on the wall and iPad menus waiting for you at the table). The seating isn't the most comfortable, but the tables are roomy. The ducks is the highlight; delicious crispy skin prepared table side. Plenty of duck for three people. We also got the Vancouver Crab; amazing dish! Service is friendly. Super helpful with teaching how to wrap the Peking duck.

My parents were visiting NYC, and they wanted good northern Chinese food. My mom had heard good things about Juqi, so we made the trek to Flushing. We were told that they don't take reservations, so we walked in on a Sunday around 12PM for lunch. Thankfully, we were able to be seated right away. The inside is pretty big, and there weren't that many people there. I love how it's decorated inside, especially the bird cage table. Our servers explained the menu to us and brought out some small complimentary dishes for us to try. We got the below, and it was way too much food for four people! *Whole peking duck - The star of the show! I loved the tableside preparation and all the little details. The duck was so flavorful, and the skin was amazing. I also loved how thin the wrappers were. If you run out, they will give you more! We got the soup at the end, and the broth was so comforting. The only thing I didn't love was the caviar toast. The bread felt hard and stale, and I didn't think the duck paired well with the caviar. *Pancake - I was expecting this to be like a normal scallion pancake, but it was actually very sweet. It definitely feels more like a dessert. It's so good though, I loved all the flaky layers. Very cool presentation, and the waiter rips it up for you into little pieces! *Fried rice - Cool preparation, but the flavor wasn't there for me. I wouldn't order this again. *Lychee shrimp balls - Probably my favorite dish of the night! My boyfriend doesn't even like shrimp, and he liked this. Very creative and pretty presentation. *Eggplant - Also very sweet? I've never had eggplant like this before, and my parents never had either. They cut it into thin rectangles, coated it in a batter, and fried it. Very unique and so good! *Braised pork - The pork was very flavorful and tender. *Five delicacies *Peach almond tofu pudding *Mahjong Overall, this was a great experience! The presentation and preparation of the dishes were very unique, and the taste, most importantly, was amazing. There were some misses like the fried rice and the desserts for me, but I still think it's a great place to take your parents or a group of friends if you want an elevated Chinese restaurant. It's pricey, but it's worth it!

Delicious, beautifully presented Peking duck. We ordered: -whole Peking duck in treasure chest: came with duck skin on toast topped with caviar, whole sliced Peking duck with wrappers and toppings (scallion, sugar, sauce, cantaloupe) and your choice of what to do with the duck bones. I chose the soup which came with some duck bones and tofu. -seafood vermicelli: tasty and had tons of seafood. Loved the celery in this dish. Service was really good. Great place to bring your family for a nice dinner. Would definitely come back again! One of my top places for Peking duck!

This is an upscaled restaurant offering authentic Beijing-styled food and drink in an interesting and unique setting. It worths the wait time and it is a great place to entertain families and friends. Pros: 1. Delicious and unique food. The Beijing deck is crispy outside and tender inside 2. IG-able presentation from utensils, decos to food. 3. Upscaled and very interesting experience 4. The restaurant presents not only food but also the nostalgia memories of Beijing. 5. A free Beijing yogurt is available if you check in on Yelp. 6. The cabbage with sesame sauce is a hidden gem though it sounds ordinary Cons 1. Don't take a reservation 2. Don't take Amex but take Visa and Mastercard 3. Service quality is different from waiter to waiter

WOW! This was probably the best peking duck I've had in the US. It's a must to order the whole duck; no matter how big your party is! Any leftover duck also makes for a great next day meal. Came here on a weekend and there was a bit of a wait. Ordered several dishes, the whole duck, the cauliflower, and more. The duck was just phenomenal. We watched as the chef literally sliced the duck in front of our eyes! The skin was fluffy and puffed, and the meat was very yummy. The skin was perfectly crispy, and the caviar duck pieces are actually really good! They give you unlimited wrappers, so use as many as you'd like! We also got the duck with soup, and the soup was very yummy. The other dishes were pretty good, but not as notable as the duck. I have been here before, and while it still 5 stars, I noticed that in some areas the food was not as good as prior times. The duck soup was a lot less flavorful, it tasted very gingery. Additionally, they no longer had one of my favorite dishes, the vegetable delight with gluten. I hope they bring it back sometime! The food is quite pricey but worth it in my opinion. Regardless I would recommend this to anyone looking for authentic Peking duck.

Located in the new shopping center at Flushing, Juqi servers upscale Chinese classics with great service. I would recommend making a reservation before you go since this place is still quite popular, but going early and putting your name down is also a viable option. We ordered: * Okra In Garlic Sauce - 9/10: delicious okra dish that really highlights the vegetable * Mustardy Chinese Cabbage - 9/10: this ones probably more of an acquired taste since it's very horseradish-y, but I really enjoyed it * Signature Peking Duck - 10/10: the start of the show, the skin was crispy and the meat was juicy and delicious * Smoked Pork Knuckles - 10/10: just as good as the duck which was a surprise to me * Mashed Potato - 5/10: I think people just order this because it looks cute, but it doesn't taste that great * Squid Ink Fried Rice - 8/10: not pictured, but they set it ablaze which looks cool - the fried rice itself was solid Definitely worth trying out if you're in the area, just make to sure to plan ahead since it's very popular!

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! (:

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!!

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.

Love this spot though front desk and reservations here are always a mess. Even if you make a reservation, expect to wait at least 15-30min. I also tried calling once and someone who called herself "Hot Pot" told me they couldn't take my res (for 4 people) and that they'd "definitely have seats", but when we arrived, they told us it was completely reserved.. Putting all this frustration aside, the food is pretty and very tasty. I really like the shrimp "lychee" balls (called that bc of the shape not bc there is any fruit in it), jajangmian and their fried eggplant. They're known for their peking duck which I can't eat bc I'm pescatarian but my fam likes. It comes with the thin skin wrap which is rare in the US and I felt teleported back to Asia. Overall very yummy but don't come expecting great service.

This must be my 3rd or 4th time here. It is inside Tangram mall on the first floor. You'll see a giant drum by the main entrance and a large duck to showcase its best seller and feature. We ordered a whole Juqi Homemade Duck which was so good. They come to cut it in front of you and everything is placed in a treasure box. On the bottom row, you have the Peking duck with caviar and all the toppings. On the top, you have the duck that was just cut in front of you. The waitress also stays to show you how to properly wrap the duck. I also love their assorted seafood with vermicelli casserole, and their steamed chicken with sesame in chili sauce (paired with rice) These are some of my must orders. We tried a few other things like their sweet and sour squirrel shaped fish which was also good. It must be a newer item because I don't remember this the last time I came. Presentation is also always great and decor is also great. Since I came with my kids, they also gifted them some toys to play with which was great

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

Got a half set of the duck to share between 3 friends which came with the diy duck wraps & an opt between a stir fry vs soup with the bones. It was tasty but definitely on the pricey side. My friend from San Diego wasn't super impressed given the price but I thought it was decent. The space itself is very beautiful (especially the private rooms in the back). Many of the appetizers also come out plated quite beautifully - just like on the sets of historical Chinese dramas (definitely a feast for the eyes). Taste wise you can probably find something that tastes pretty similar for much cheaper but visually Juqi appears on the higher end.

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.

Probably the best peking duck I've had in NYC. Def get the duck...duh. I've had peking duck in Beijing, and theirs is definitely authentic to the original. The other dishes we got were also great- seafood with vermicelli, pork intestines with preserved vegetables, fried eggplant, braised four delicacies of duck. Portions are decent, so make sure not to over-order like we did. They do get busy, so try to go at an off-hour. We walked in around 5:30 PM on a Friday and were able to get seated with no issues.

Bookmarked this place for a year now! Finally got a chance to visit with family! Every dish was show stopping! Amazing customer service! Highly recommend!

The service is really good. Was checked on pretty frequently and staff was knowledgeable about all of our questions. They also swapped our plates and chopsticks for new ones partway through (not a huge deal but seemed like a nice gesture). Ambiance is good, very authentic. In terms of food. All of the dishes are presented really well, visually stunning (they often look like "wow!" and they do have creative or fancy ways to present it) My favorite was the: Juqi fried rice and the Royale Style BBQ lamb.

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!

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.

Was craving Peking duck so came by again. I think they have the best Peking duck in flushing. The service and food was great as always. My group came before they opened for the day as we got seated pretty quickly but it filled up fast. There was a line when we were leaving. So early or make reservations(if they take it). Other than than, you check in at the front and can put in your phone number to get waiting updates.

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!

WILL GIVE YOU A FREE YOGURT DESSERT IF YOU SHOW THEM A 5 STAR REVIEW! So yea, the yelp rating is a bit misleading for sure THE REAL REVIEW: I would give this 3.5 stars Ambiance and service is great. Service is super on point, attentive, and efficient, you never see this at chinese restaurants. The restaurant is beautiful inside for sure. Quite a long wait for a table, won't take reservations except for private rooms The food: Peking duck - best I've ever had in NYC. Theres 2 versions of the peking duck. One with a gold chinese character on the breast (70 min wait) the other without (30 min wait) Went with the duck with the 30 minute wait, ended up being about an hour wait. But it seems they cook to order or pretty close to that, so totally worth it. Duck comes fresh from the oven, you can tell the skin is super crisp and the fat is still rendered. It hasn't congealed again like most other peking duck. There is also no cheating here like many other peking duck restaurants by deep frying it to re-heat it again for service. 1 whole duck for a party of 4 was perfect. But the sauce, scallion, cucumber leave a bit to be desired. The sauce is a bit underwhelming, I can tell the scallion and cucumber was sliced way too far in advance and sitting out at room temp. The edges were a bit dried out and the aroma was missing from the scallions for sure. Presentation is kinda cool (borderline gimmicky) in a box. The caviar was definitely super cheap and rather tasteless but I appreciated the attempt to make it a bit different. Lobster Rice - this was decent but had to ask the server for salt to add. It came super bland. Once I added some salt it was delicious. Misleading photo on the ipad menu though - it looks bright orange! The real dish came out yellow. A bit light on portion size for the size of the bowl also. Broccoli Rabe - a bit undercooked but fine. Blanched in a soup stock of some type. Taste was good Yogurt - this was almost like a pana cotta with honey on top. Chinese style yogurt was rather soft and runny but tasted pretty good. Nice way to end the meal.

Incredible high end Chinese food, Just amazing. Delicious food. Their Peking duck is so mouth watering and what they did that was really great was also their crepe - very even and good texture. We also ordered pear tea, which was wonderful. We had some issues with the squirrel fish where the crunch was not right and it tasted fishy. We spoke to them nicely and they took it back and took the dish off our bill. Very nice service!!

The restaurant is delicious. Very traditional, upscale Peking duck place that does a wonderful job with their flavors. Service is great and they give great recommendations. Definitely recommend the four delicacies of duck - included duck skin with caviar on top. Great experience.
