replying to u/Andarel: Did Decoy also reopen or just the upstairs? Decoy had phenomenal duck, though figure it was the same kitchen the downstairs was more focused on it

replying to u/manicakes1: Most of those places are serving roast duck, carved like Peking duck. It is delicious but it’s not authentic Peking duck. For the real deal Hutong is supposed to be legit. I’ve been to Decoy and thought it was good.
“Decoy is not great imo, especially for the price.”

“I've also been to Decoy, Jiangnan, Juqi, which are good but the prices are more reflective of presentation/setting than highest quality food.”

replying to u/FormallyKnownAs: I would love to hear as well. Before covid, they had the best duck in town. Since then, I've gone to the Redfarm along the UWS and it was really disappointing. What made their duck so great was the high quality, juicy meat. It was comparable to the best places in Hong Kong. I'm cautiously hopefully they'll pick up their game...

replying to u/niiro117: A lot of the dim sum places serve Peking duck, but it usually comes with baos instead of the thin pancakes which I personally don’t love. If you want the best Peking duck go to Huayuan, if you’re stuck on also having dim sum, Golden Unicorn does both and the dim sum is great.

replying to u/kingcarlo: My go to is Peking Duck House in Chinatown. If you can get into Decoy, their duck is amazing but they are operating in a smaller space now after a fire.
