Peking Duck House

"There are two things you need to know about Peking Duck House. You can probably guess the first: This place serves really good Peking duck. The long menu has lots of other options (like dim sum and mala chicken), but you come here for the juicy, crispy duck that’s carved tableside. The second thing to know about this Chinatown spot is that it’s BYOB. This policy will be helpful when your aunt gets into her diatribe about "what's wrong with society." - hannah albertine, kenny yang

"There are two things you need to know about Peking Duck House. You can probably guess the first: This place serves really good Peking duck. The long menu has lots of other options—like dim sum, mala chicken, and a giant plate of seafood with scallops and shrimp—but you come here for the juicy, crispy duck that’s carved tableside. The second thing to know about this Chinatown spot is that it’s BYOB. Combine the two, and you get a pretty ideal group dinner option. The two-floor space has a bunch of big tables for large parties, but it is very popular, so you should make a reservation by phone ahead of time." - bryan kim, molly fitzpatrick, willa moore, neha talreja, will hartman

"As the name suggests, you shouldn’t leave this place without eating Peking duck. One duck should feed three people, and costs $60. You won’t need too much more food than that, so get some dumplings for the table and add the seafood triple delight with scallops, shrimp, and fish if you’re especially hungry. Try this spot for a birthday party or dinner with a big group of friends when you’ve used guilt and flattery to get everyone to hang out on the same night. Be sure to take advantage of the BYOB policy, too. " - bryan kim

"When your friends are all in the mood to order their next rounds halfway through their current ones, it’s tough to keep the bill from getting out of hand. Unless you bring in flasks of Jack and order a soda every 10 minutes, your best bet is to go somewhere that’s BYOB. One of our favorite options in Manhattan is Peking Duck House. The two-floor space in Chinatown has a bunch of big tables ideal for groups, and along with being able to drink as much of whatever you want, you can eat some juicy, crispy Peking duck that’s carved tableside." - team infatuation

"A meal at Chinatown classic Peking Duck House is part theater, part full-blown feast, where whole ducks with ultra-crisp skins are carved tableside. No matter the occasion, it’s one of the more reliable BYOB spots in town. There’s also a Midtown location." - Eater Staff
