BEST Peking Duck in New York! $140 Peking Duck With Caviar?!

I LOVE Peking Duck, it's one of my all time favorite foods. The crispy melt in your mouth skin, the amazing juiciness of the meat wrapped up in that chewy thin crepe with fresh veggies and sauce creates a delicious meaty crunchy combo that is unmatched.
There has been a lot of new restaurants in New York City that has begun serving Peking Duck, so I decided to try them out. For this video I went to Elaine's Asian Bistro in Long Island, DaDong, which is a Michelin Starred restaurant from China, Decoy and some roast duck from Wah Fung my favorite Chinese BBQ place in New York.
For some reason, the Decoy video footage was lost, I really have no idea how that happened but it was just gone. Personally, I did not enjoy eating there. First of all, if you want to have the duck it takes some effort. You either have to book a reservation which will subject you and everyone you're dining with to a mandatory $75 per person set meal and this could mean up to 5-6 people sharing one duck and for $75 per person that is outrageous. If you want to just eat their duck on its own, then you have to show up right as they open at 5 and ask if they have an extra one laying around. Seriously. If they don't then no duck for you. For the sake of getting this right, I went twice and the first time the duck was not bad, skin was mostly crispy and tasty, the duck meat was juicy and the sauces they give you are great. But the second time the skin was chewy and tough, not very consistent. So for all the hassle and price, I don't recommend this place.
Da Dong, as I mentioned, the skin will be the best you'll ever have on a Peking duck. EXTREMELY amazing, but the duck meat is dry and tasteless.
Elaine's is my go to Peking Duck place but located a bit outside of the city.
Here are the locations I went to:

Mikey...I must say you don't discriminate with food. Salty..savoury..spicy..meaty..veggie..dessert..we always get a variety. You deserve a round of applause for being a master. 👏👏👍👍

[@justachick9793]

You can always count on Mikey to be honest and fair in these reviews. Much appreciated, man.

[@AG-ly7jz]

[@alemfi]

[@JustinZamora]

*This duck looks so peking good.*

[@Slammedtothefloor]

Never again.

[@keko9180]

OH GOD PLEASE NO, never do that again

[@imijbrown5497]

That awkward moment when you've had & love both duck and steak, but you haven't had the pleasure of eating Peking Duck or Wagu :( 😂😂😂 My day will come!!! For now I'll just keep watching you Mikey 😁💙

[@strictlydumpling]

You will! I belive :-)

[@chufengfang2314]

Wu Clan Peking duck is a lot more affordable than wagyu

[@loveislove2359]

Australian Wagyu is not half bad but a lot cheaper, you should try it.

[@Slimcognito858]

Thank you Mikey for your videos! They always make me feel so happy and it’s great to see foods of all kinds being displayed 🤗

[@SuperTlilly]

I love how honest your review is. THANKS Mikey .

[@TiffanyDing]

hands down my favorite chinese food items are peking duck & xiao long bao...

[@strictlydumpling]

exactly! fake peking duck's the worst

[@grontelp77]

Strictly Dumpling isn’t this a reupload of an older video? What’s going on mikey?

[@EnyuZeeMukbang]

Agreed!! Some of the good peking duck where i am r so expensive though

[@toffy7000]

Peking duck is self explainable and I love the soup in the buns but I always burn myself lol

[@kCedarwood]

Tiffany Ding ty for the feedback

[@normandea]

OMG. Absolutely love Peking Duck. It's heaven when done right.

[@fatdoi003]

when its the best, they can ask for that price

[@EizelR]

I've never had peaking duck... or even duck for that matter

[@EizelR]

What does duck taste like?

[@shrimp1835]

@@EizelR duck tastes like slightly chewier and more flavourful dark meat chicken

[@dfdbbrb]

I love how they serve boiled peanuts as something fancy up there, while they sell them on the side of the road here in Alabama.

[@ekelman8033]

Mikey, thank you for providing such great reviews over the years. I am surprised that you didn’t include Decoy (or its parent restaurant Red Farm)! Definitely the best I’ve ever had!

[@RealRanton]

Hmmmmm TAI HAO LE

[@nathan0717]

I like the honest review! Showed the pros and the cons of each place! I was beginning to think you just loved everything! Glad to see some realism

[@rebeccaschrader4012]

Just sitting here casually eating my own ice cream! As always, terrific video and can't wait to spend the rest of my night watching your other videos!

[@chika4275]

You are spot on! I love Peking Duck! Its on of my favorite dishes ever!

[@Read-to-Breathe]

[@jessielovve]

Love your videos and know life is like a box of Peking duck you never know what you gonna get

[@Das_Vert]

Yesss! I was just commenting about this place in your last video! #3 place is so good.

[@Das_Vert]

Wan fung number 1!

[@normandea]

Thank you for mentioning the opulence and refinement of Peking Duck and how the incredible skin is the focal point of the dish, as compared with regular roast duck that you can get in Chinatown (in San Francisco where I am). Peking Duck is indeed fine dining.

[@jeffreyalme6480]

This thing is just Sparkling!

[@BuckleMyShoeKnockAtTheDoor]

Love your videos! Always make me so hungry lol 😊

[@ladymurasaki370]

OMG, it looks soo delicious! I want some! I love, love Peking Duck! If you don't, you don't know what you're missing!!! I'm soo jelly right now Mikey! 👍👍👍❤❤❤

[@DevourPowerTV]

Peking Duck is DELICIOUS!

[@mgomez6480]

I'm still laughing at "Water Braised Peanuts" in the Southern US we just call those "Boiled Peanuts"

[@hollyh7924]

Ha I was thinking the same! I was surprised Chinese have them too! Nothing like stopping at a gas station in a small town for some Cajun spiced boiled peanuts :-)

[@lindseyf4515]

Holly H yes!!! Gotta love getting a large cup of them.

[@ZombieLeo94]

We have Boiled Peanuts in India too My parent's favourite snack 😁

[@rahunter8010]

. . . Ate a massive dinner. 3 min into this vid and hungry again. Amazing vid! Now adding Peking duck to the NY list.

[@Buttascotch]

As soon as you said something else I crave, I just knew it was going to be ice cream lol. After so long watching you, I know you to a certain extent with certain things Mike lol. I'm sure I would love Peking Duck once I have the pleasure to try it one day. Great video..You are Awesome as always!

[@andreamejia5100]

Best food channel!!!

[@strictlydumpling]

Thank you :-)

[@dragonballa5083]

We love you Mikey, no matter how hungry you make us!

[@Vang_41]

15:56 Did i just see a grown man go down a slide? 😂😂😂

[@Loanty]

Is it just me or the Peking duck from the first place that you went to look tastier and more affordable than the second one. Btw, thank your for the great video. Been subscribed to your channel since the first tomato rice, it’s great to see how much your channel have grown. Keep it up 😊🌸

[@timkangkimballcho3677]

I love your vids man.

[@Rebecca-dm5ul]

I love duck. My parents got married in Montreal. They tried Peking duck, duck soup and the duck in crepes. As a child we'd travel to Canada on their anniversary and feast on duck. Happy memories. Amazing food.

[@floflo2320]

This made me hungry again. How can you make us taste the food just by watching your videos. Thank you again Mickey 😍

[@strictlydumpling]

[@YasaiDayo]

Mike, I envy everything you eat 😅 you’re living the life man 🤘🏻

[@denadena9398]

[@foongjunemeng8935]

I love Peking duck . In typical restaurants , after they de-skin it , the extra meat are used for stir fry dish with spring onions and the bones are for soup . One duck 3 dish . Worth it for the family

[@npcimknot958]

yeezu....that wrap is so thin and nice. you can reallly tell a good peking vs bad one ...i want one now

[@lashanaleigh2722]

Mikey u make more than my mouth water 😂😂 😂. Mostly my mouth lol I'm a big fan of yours! U awesome!!

Peking duck is hands down one of my favourite dish. (truthfully any duck dish gets a thumbs up) Though, I have never had it with caviar before. How decadent. I need to eat out with you!

[@lovelyastridd]

Geeze mike drooling 🤤 here.. that looks so bomb-delicioussssss!!!!!!!!

[@Smarglenargle]

i craved peking duck SO hard that i learned how to make it. Been making it at home ever since and I think I do quite well. I even got myself a pump just for inflating the skin. I don't have room to hang my duck but I hover it in a rack in my fridge. Kinda like dry aging.

[@loriwagner6299]

When I was in Taiwan I had this. They had all kinds of things to add to the crepe. I didn't think that the berries would be good but they were amazing!

[@lauraelizabeth541]

I have a whole duck in the oven at the moment! It's coated in 5spice powder (that I made myself) lots of salt and pepper too. Can't wait to see how it comes out! Steamed jasmine rice and stir fry veggies to go with 💓😍💁‍♀️

[@theunlistedmuffin123]

[@lemonyjuicey]

[@oceanwong1191]

Every time I visit a restaurant ever since I discovered your channel, I start to think “would Mike like this?” And “is this spicy enough for him?”

[@SammyBirdTheGreat]

I can’t find good Peking duck where I live, so I’ve made do with crispy roast duck I cook myself w hoisin, scallion and wrappers I also make myself - can’t wait for the day I get to try actual Peking duck 🤤🤤

[@lonelyhearts4216]

[@TheMistery92]
