Chef Pho’s food is always excellent . Their delivery is on time and the order always correct but for one time. When I called- they immediately made things right. I recommend the Peking duck and scallion pancake.
Bare bones place with really good food and service.
Food was just ok. Appetizers came after main course. Dunplings in soup were clearly frozen. They charged us for water ($2.5 per bottle) and gratuity was already included.
The food was amazing, best pho I’ve ever had! Our server was also super awesome and sweet! Must try!
Went here last night for some Chinese food and more specifically duck. The service and hospitality was a full 5/5 and the food was pretty good. We brought a lot of food and it didn't break our pockets. Would come back again for sure!
Pictures of the fried rice is why I came here. When it’s just onion and bean sprouts it’s the best. Now there is random corn, egg, peas and carrots all over cooked. The egg roll has no flavor unless you’re ok with just tasting the sauce. The General Tso is VERY good. But they purposely edit my order and didn’t bring me white rice because I ordered Fried Rice too. So I had to ask for it. I don’t like my orders being edited because they think they know what I want. What I wanted was good Chinese food. Instead I got good General Tso (which was sweet and not extra spicy like I asked but still good) and a Diet Coke.
As a local, I finally decided to try this place. Despite having Peking Duck as the name of the restaurant and assuming it would be their signature dish, it was horrible. Dry, bland and tasteless. The skin should be crispy but instead reminded me of a soggy blanket. Awful and should be avoided as there are many much better places nearby (try 9th Ave).
Don’t judge a book by its cover. My mum and I discover this place while we were strolling in NYC, they have a pretty good deal for lunch special, I ordered the eggplant with black bean sauce, and my mum ordered their seafood with mixed vegetables, we both enjoyed our food very much. The only thing need to pay attention like most people have mentioned is they do include gratuity on your bill which I think is pretty reasonable.
This place is horrible and you should take my word for it because I’m Chinese. For 27 dollars( half a duck, see the picture for yourself ) you get a pathetic plate of meat with some crispy duck skin but half of them had feathers in them. I told the waitress but she mumbled something like it was because their duck was prepared differently. The steamed bun came on a PLATE not a steamer which meant they were probably frozen, from a supermarket instead of made fresh. Come to think of it, when we walked in there weren’t any Chinese people in it which was a bad sign. My husband was immensely disappointed. DO NOT GO THERE.
This place has the best quality Chinese and Vietnamese food in the area! I frequently order their Peking Duck and Roast Duck! The staff is also very welcoming when I pick up my take out.

I had a tofu dish for dinner on the last night of my recent trip to NYC. The meal was OK but hardly memorable, I would not go out of my way to eat at Peking Roast Duck.
Astoundingly good food here, and heart-warming service. General Tso’s chicken is cooked perfectly. Clean, fast, and not overpriced especially for the quality of food your receiving. Their wonton soup is to die for. I come here after a tiring dance class, and it’s a wonderful place to relax and feel welcomed by the staff.
The portion was huge! Two of the dishes I ordered lacked flavour, but that’s alright. The not okay part was that they pre-added the tip into the bill, which was at 20% and the service was average at best.
Don't let appearance fool you, this restaurant is really good! Get the Peking duck. They remove the bones which really indicates a good duck place.Yes they add an automatic 20% tip, but if you can't tip, maybe you shouldn't go out to eat in NYC. The service is fine - I have a feeling people just don't understand that some people don't speak English well and thus might not interact like an Americanized wait staff. Don't overlook this place because of others!!
This has officially become my delivery go to! They have great dinner specials, our go to is a D2 and a D9 with the wonton soup!!! Okay this Wonton Soup is everything you’ve ever needed on a cold day/night whenever it’s soup weather. It’s by far the most comforting take out soup we’ve had. The flavor is perfect! (Promise you’ll never change it!) I’ll have to add pictures on my next order. Definitely a regular go to every two weeks or so when I want a solid treat day! Chicken and broccoli + the general tso chicken both with white rice is a D2+ D9. Definitely want to try the Pho next time.
