Photographs, menus and exact addresses
Hwa Yuan Szechuan
42 East Broadway, New York, NY 10002
An explicitly priced half or whole duck, with pear slices alongside the usual cucumber and scallions. This is a Szechuan restaurant with a named Beijing duck order, not a Cantonese roast-duck counter.
| Published duck order | Printed size / serving | USD | Price channel |
|---|---|---|---|
| Beijing Duck | Half | $50 | Restaurant website menu |
| Beijing Duck | Whole | $90 | Restaurant website menu |
Before you order
- The menu separately lists a $95-per-person signature dinner for at least four guests. That is a multi-course package, not the price of one duck.
- Ask about duck availability when booking; an advance-order requirement was not established.

Peking Duck House, Chinatown
28 Mott Street #A, New York, NY 10013

| Published duck order | Printed size / serving | USD | Price channel |
|---|---|---|---|
| Peking Duck | Order; size not printed | $79 | Restaurant website menu |
Before you order

Hutong New York
731 Lexington Avenue, New York, NY 10022

| Published duck order | Printed size / serving | USD | Price channel |
|---|---|---|---|
| Roasted Peking Duck | Half | $72 | Restaurant website menu |
| Roasted Peking Duck | Whole | $144 | Restaurant website menu |
| Flaming duck | Whole | $158 | Restaurant website menu |
Before you order

133-36 37th Avenue, Queens, NY 11354

|---|---|---|---|
| Signature Peking Duck set | Half set | $59 | Restaurant website menu |

Philippe Chow, Downtown NYC
355 West 16th Street, New York, NY 10011
The Downtown menu specifies tableside carving and a serving estimate of two to four guests. It lists both pancakes and bao buns, so this is a useful contrast with menus that name crepes only.
| Published duck order | Printed size / serving | USD | Price channel |
|---|---|---|---|
| Peking Duck | Order; menu says serves 2 to 4 | $128 | Restaurant website menu |
Before you order
- The restaurant asks diners to allow 35 to 45 minutes for the roasted-to-order duck. This is its published preparation estimate, not an observed waiting time.
- A 20% gratuity is applied to all checks according to the Downtown menu. The $128 item price is not a final bill.
- The same menu has a separate $44 crispy-duck item. It is not the $128 Peking duck order.

iDen & Quanjude Beijing Duck House
3 East 52nd Street, New York, NY 10022

| Published duck order | Printed size / serving | USD | Price channel |
|---|---|---|---|
| HALF Quanjude Signature Beijing Duck | Half | $68 | Restaurant-linked Toast pickup menu |
| Quanjude Signature Beijing Duck | Signature order; size not printed | $128 | NYC restaurant menu / September 2026 |

Half a duck does not always cost half as much
At Hwa Yuan, the printed half costs $50 and the whole $90. At Hutong the two prices are $72 and $144. These comparisons concern the stated duck size, not a guaranteed number of portions.
Philippe Chow prints a serving estimate for its order. Peking Duck House's standalone price does not state a size. iDen's NYC signature-menu item is compared with a half from its pickup menu; the signature title itself does not print “whole”. Keeping the source channels and size labels intact avoids a misleading cheapest-whole-duck chart.
Peking duck and Cantonese roast duck
Peking duck is a Beijing preparation associated with carved skin and meat served with wraps and condiments. Cantonese roast duck belongs to the siu mei roast-meat tradition and uses a different seasoning and roasting approach. A menu selling roast duck with rice is not automatically selling Peking duck.

- Look for the named order: Peking duck, Beijing duck or 北京烤鸭.
- Read the accompaniments: crepes, pancakes, buns and sauces vary across these NYC menus.
- Check the second preparation: a soup or duck-rack choice may belong to a set, rather than every duck order.
Four questions before booking a duck dinner
- Does this branch require the duck to be reserved in advance?
- Is the quoted price a half, whole, fixed set or an order serving a stated number of guests?
- How many wraps are included, and what does an extra order cost?
- Is the published price for dine-in or pickup, and what service charges apply?
The preparation estimates above belong to the restaurants' menus. They do not describe current queues or guarantee a serving time.
