$ 1/peking duck bao. Excellent and inexpensive dimsum! Love the 3 steamed pork buns for $ 2 — very little filler. Siomai and hakaw are excellent, too. My husband loved the tripe. Can’t go wrong — except not much atmosphere. There is seating upstairs. Cash only.

Duck sandwiches used to be $ 1 each but they raised the price to $ 1.25. Very tasty but also very unsanitary, I saw the lady blow her nose and then proceed to touch the duck. She was wearing gloves but the purpose of them were defeated. But hey $ 1.25 Lols!

So a cheap peking duck sandwich how good can it be? VERYGOOD. The duck is fatty and greasy and everything it should be! The pancakes are fluffy and fresh. A small sandwich but I can have 5 of them and still spend $ 20 less than if I went to eat peking duck at a restaurant and be just as satisfied. It is hard to find but worthwhile once you wander in and find their stall.

I needed a quick bite around the area and I turned on my old faithful Unilocal and found this place. The $ 1.25 Peking Duck bun was good enough to satiate my non-particular taste. The bun was incredibly soft and the sweet sauce perfectly mingled with the duck slice and spring onions. I will definitely grab some more if I am in the area next time!

Note: More Cantonese style roast duck than true Peking duck, but then it wouldn’t be so cheap either. Located in the back of Corner 28, which no longer sits on any corner of any street, but I digress. This place was the original Peking Duck Stall(Stall A) in Flushing. Since then, it moved with Corner 28 onto the middle of 40th Rd. Obviously the best comparison is to the new Peking Duck Stall(Stall B) around the corner at the Main Street Food Court which replaced Corner 28’s version. I decided to try one from each location to compare and here are the results. Stall A = $ 1.00 /more duck meat /less crispy skin /stale & lukewarm lotus bun /more scallions /equal sauce Stall B = $ 1.25 /less duck meat /crispier skin /fluffy & hot lotus bun /less scallions /equal sauce On this day(results can certainly vary due to timing), I preferred Stall B more. The most important winning factors came down to the crispy duck skin and fluffy & pipping hot lotus bun. The textural difference overwhelm the fact that Stall A had more duck meat and scallions. Also, there was a major difference in turnover, where I was the only customer at Stall A, but Stall B had a line waiting. Therefore, I bet the results of the crispier skin and hotter lotus bun will stay the same on future visits. Only my next trial will confirm those results. For now, I give a slight edge to Stall B.

They have a dedicated peking duck lady! At a dollar each, this is really a steal. I recommend you try this! You can find them around the corner from Happy Food court. The bun was a little hard on the outside, but it didn’t take away much from the meal. Places like this shows how amazing Flushing food crawls can be.

If you ever get a chance to go to Flushing be sure to make a pit stop pre-meal at Corner 28. They have an array of delicious eats. The Peking duck stall is one place that you would definitely wanna make a stop and get some either before a meal or take out. There are seating upstairs if you want to eat there. I thought the flavour of the Peking duck was very good and they have hot sauce for you upstairs. There was a lot of meat in there which for the price is so awesomely good. I think this fulfilled my hunger for Peking duck and I don’t have to wait to go with a crew to the Peking duck house every 6-months. A dream come true!

WENTTHROUGHSOMUCH to find this place! The listing address was wrong on Unilocal,which led us to elmhurst(this might be fixed now cuz I went last year) its in the corner 28 food court, basically near where the old location was! corner 28 food court is small and crowded with few food stalls downstairs where you order but there’s a hidden stairway towards the back right to lead to the 2nd floor with lots of seating to enjoy your food! $ 1 per duck bun order at the back right counter where you see the $ 1 sign! –peking duck bun: not bad, the steamed bun was nice & soft, but i expected the duck to have more of a crisp PLUS some of the green onion strands were way too potent glad i tried it but i don’t know if it was worth the trek

I don’t know who set the pricing on Unilocal,but these duck buns are only $ 1 each! My friends and I came here on a rainy Wed night(right after the Lunar New Year on Mon), and of course, the inside was bustling with people — mostly locals. We made our way to the back and ordered six buns. We were in luck since they took out a fresh new duck and sliced it up for our buns. The whole thing took about 10 min, but I was happy admiring the fresh array of authentic(finally!) Chinese food that I’d only seen at home. Now how was the bun? I should include a disclaimer — it was my first duck bun(I know, my Asian friends are always shocked at my lack of exposure to Asian food.) However, the bun was tasty — the bun was pillowy and soft, the scallions were crisp and fresh, and the duck was moist. I thought the duck could have been a little more flavorful — and this is coming from someone who doesn’t really like duck(unless it’s slathered in hoisin sauce a la Peking duck!). All in all, such a steal for $ 1!

This review will be as tiny as this stall. The duck buns are delish. Order 5 for yourself– 2 for now and 3 for the next few hours when you later regret not getting more.

I’ve been a loyal customer since forever! $ 1 for a peking duck sandwich. it doesn’t get better than that. It’s always made fresh(they make it in front of you) They never skimp on the meat or the sauce and it is very filling! This is the new location so you kind of have to find this place since it’s mixed in with other booths as well… It’s all the way in the back next to the cashiers(they have a sign). You just tell the lady how many you want.

Is it the best Peking duck in the world? Definitely not. But is there a better deal than $ 1 per bun? Hits the spot when I’m craving Peking duck, and I don’t have to shell out $ 40 for a whole Peking duck experience at a restaurant! The duck pieces are meaty(not as much crispy skin as I would like), but I’ll still take this deal all day. 4 is perfect for a snack(I once ordered just 2 and I was a super sad puppy). There’s a clean sitting area upstairs which was a surprise as it looks super luxurious! Filled with high school kids after 3pm. It is a bit of a pain in the butt to find, but so completely worth it!

I would have to say that they’re a little bit overpriced for what they are even for $ 1.25/pc. I can easily eat these in less than two full bites which is quite sad because they are so delicious that I would need a dozen to fill me up. By then, I would’ve rather eaten congee or some lo mein. Wish they would put a little more meat in!

Food: 3.5÷5.0 Service: 2.0÷5.0 Value: 4.0÷5.0 Décor: 2.0÷5.0 Overall: 3.5÷5.0 Solid little stall in a mini corner food court selling individual Peking duck wraps now at $ 1.25 a pop. I obsess over Peking duck — there are a few dishes I will judge a city by, and this is one of them. But Peking duck is all about expectations. When you’re Da Dong(yeah, I just went there) and everyone starts talking you up like you’re the second coming, you know you’re in trouble. But when you’re hawking these little suckers by the bun and the carver is wearing a semi-not-that-dirty apron, then we may have something here. This is a decent B– duck being sold like its already flunked out of school — that’s how you earn four stars in my book. Next time I walk by, I’m liable to pick up a dozen.

Nothing tastes as good as chowing down a duck sandwich right before getting your hair done! the price went up to 1.25 per bun guys! Asians tend to like eating Peking duck like a sandwich. they use a steam white bun to sandwich the crispy duck skin with duck meat with a side of veggies and sweet duck sauce,.very savory… duck skin is somewhat oily. but i thought it was really tasty. perfect to go bites/cheap eats in main street!

You can find these Peking duck buns in a stall in the very back right-hand side of a storefront called Corner 28. You tell the nice lady how many you want, hand her your cash, and she preps them right then and there. Very fast! At $ 1 a pop, these bad boys are an incredible deal. While they aren’t gourmet by any means, where else can you satisfy a Peking duck craving for only $ 1 apiece? Pick up 2 – 3 and you’ve got yourself a mini-meal going on. There’s also a ton of other options in this same little area if you want some variety. Overall, the buns aren’t actually anything to write home about. The meat is OK, but gets somewhat lost in the hoisin sauce. The duck skin, while very much present, is hardly crispy. The crispy skin is the most important part, and for this to not be done well is disappointing. They use fresh cucumbers in addition to the scallion. If you want quality Peking duck, look elsewhere. BUTHELLO, THEYARE $ 1. You get what you pay for and this option definitely keeps your wallet v happy. For $ 1, the Peking duck bun is a must try if you’re doing a Flushing food tour! Remember to bring cash. 3 stars(bumped it up a star for the value that you’re really not going to get elsewhere)

I would say that this is money well spent. Where else can you get peking duck buns for a dollar? I have to caution you though that the new location is extremely hard to find. This was my first time back since they moved and being from NJ, we only get to go whenever we’re at Citi Field. Never mind the address listed here in Unilocal or Google Maps, the new location is at 135 – 2440th St. They are on the same side as playground and is adjacent to it. Just look for the plastic strip entrance way as mentioned by another reviewer. There is a sign advertising the $ 1 duck buns, but wilth all the other signage on store fronts, this can be easily overlooked. If you are lucky enough to find this place, make your way all the way to theback of the store where you’ll see more signs of the advertised dollar peking duck buns.

They’re $ 1. Enough said. Well, the duck is not quite 4 stars. The buns were hot and fresh, the cucumbers and green onion also very fresh. And the hoisin sauce just how it should be. 5 stars. But then comes the actual duck… Definitely 2 stars. It wasn’t hot, the skin wasn’t crispy and they only put one piece in each bun so when you bite into it, the duck just gets lost among the sea of bun in your mouth. Also the service was quick, clean, and the woman making the buns was so sweet. Great for a quick stop and definitely going to keep your wallet happy. But if you’re looking for good quality duck, definitely go elsewhere. So my hunt for peking duck buns continues…

One could argue some bit of novelty is lost now that this«stall» no longer has a street side window( ), but one could also side with the fact it’s more«hidden» than ever. Buried in the back within the Corner 28 mini food court, the relocation may seem confusing for first timers. Head over to 40th Road, enter through the plastic door strips /curtains, and go all the way to the back. Seek out the«Peking Duck» sign behind the counter and all will be fine. The things to know are: Every duck bun is worth $ 1. It is cash only and take out only. There are duck bones for sale as well(makes for great congee /soup later!) and also rice noodles(see the old location: ) in shrimp form if needed. The ladies don’t really speak English but they’ve interacted with enough non-Chinese speaking folks to know the deal. A little trivia: This wasn’t even supposed to be a business on Unilocal.Technically, the«stall» is really part of Corner 28( ). The rise to food cultdom was in large part due to the price, which was something ridiculous at like a quarter a little over 10 years ago. Right around 2005-ish, the buns went for 50 cents, then 75 cents before an eventual price hike of $ 1 around 2008. I’ve been bracing for the price hike ever since and am pleasantly surprised it didn’t happen with the recent move. A major win for consumers Flushing wide. For our Cantonese speaking friends, it’s important to tell the lady to specially pick out the«crispier» skins if a duck breast with crispy skin is ideal(not everyone cares!). I always tell to take it easy with the hoisin spread, cucumber slaw, and limit the usually over generous spring onion add-on. The focus is more on the steamed bun(not too soggy) and a sizeable piece of duck meat with skin. Service makes a difference when you know what you want and that should also reflect in the duck bun. There aren’t a lot of things one can buy for a $ 1 anymore, let alone food. This is a true testament to how accessible quality fare can be in Flushing for folks in the know. Fingers crossed it stays this way for a long time.

Been meaning to check this place out for quite some time. Friends have told countless times to get some awesome duck buns(along with other authentic Chinese grub) at this place. When I walked in, it’s basically tucked in the back of a small food court. Right away, I saw the main attraction of this hyped up place. Duck buns = $ 1!!! Yep you heard it right. They make right infront of you, which assures me it’s fresh from the start. Inside this delectable treat, it’s slices of duck(along with the skin), green onions, and sweet sauce. The resemblance of an «Asian taco» just on a bao(Chinese bun). It’s simply DELISH! No joke! Only thing I wish for if I could replace the sweet sauce with something spicy… I’ll come back again!

If based solely on the food, I’d probably give this place 3 stars… but at a $ 1 a pop, it gets an extra star! As others have mentioned, this place is a bit hard to find. Follow the Unilocal map pin and look for the Corner 28 sign and walk to the back. When you get to the counter, head to the employee on the right — tell her how many buns you want and she’ll assemble them for you. The duck buns are OK — the meat is kind of hit or miss, but at $ 1 a bun they are still tasty and an incredible deal. They use cucumber as the greenery/veggie in the bun, although personally I prefer scallions instead. I’d definitely come by again for some cheap eats, but probably wouldn’t go out of my way if I want amazing Peking duck.

Hello, Peking Duck Sandwich Stall. PDSS: H… hi. You thought you could hide from me. Changed your phone number, moved to a different house, YOUDIDN’T THINK I’D FINDYOU? PDSS: You’ve got it all wrong, I wasn’t trying to run away… things got complicated… I needed a break, some time to myself. Right, right. I always knew our love would bring us back together & now that we’re here… –Screen fades to black– I don’t know where this was going; I just really really missed peking duck sandwiches!

Let’s be real, it’s only OK because of the price. The stall is located at the back of Corner 28 where there is a lady on the right that does the Peking Duck. You tell her how many you want, you give her cash, she grabs a steamed bun, she puts in pre-sliced duck, cucumber, scallion and hoisin. Also, there is some seating upstairs. The food: Peking Duck Bun– Overall it’s just OK. The skin is not crispy, the hoisin is too sweet, the meat gets lost under the sauce and the bun is a bit soggy. If it was any more expensive than a dollar, I would skip it.

My heart literally skipped a beat when I showed up at the old location and saw that this stall was replaced by some new and less appetizing-looking food court. Immediately I searched for«duck bun» on my Unilocal App and lookie there! A new location! I wasn’t sure if it was the same duck buns as the old location, but this was confirmed when I recognized the same ladies working the old stall working this new stall in Corner 28, at the very back. Just go towards the«$ 1PEKINGDUCKBUNS» sign. $ 1/pop — best bang for your buck(literally, 1 buck) snack in Flushing ever. The buns are the perfect consistency — not soggy and freshly steamed. A thick cut of duck is wedged in between. With some green onion and delicious hoisin-based sauce, these buns are the perfect appetizer to a meal or something to curb your hunger. Everytime I’m in Flushing, I make sure to stop by this stall.

The new location is less convenient, but it’s so good and totally worth $ 1! Location: do not go to its old location, the corner of Main St and 40th Rd! It’s an imposter! I went in the old location and got the $ 1.25 Peking duck bun, but it wasn’t as good. The bun was soggy, the skin was thicker, and they add a slice of cucumber. For the new location, you must walk half a block down and enter Corner 28. Walk all the way to the stall in the back. Go towards the right of the counter where the ducks are. This new location is a lot cleaner since it’s not on the street. They also have seating for you to enjoy the duck bun. Food: it’s just as good as the old stand on the corner. They’re made to order. A hot little fluffy bun with a piece of crispy duck skin, a little meat, julienned cucumber and scallions, and a dollop of hoisin sauce. Eat it while it’s hot. I just wish they would stop using styrofoam containers.

Oh man, thank God I don’t live in Flushing; otherwise, I’d balloon up in size by at least 3x because I’d venture to the Peking duck sandwich stall every single day for some inexpensive and tasty Peking duck sliders. $ 1/duck slider, no messin’ around. I ordered 3 for myself, and I finished them all within 10 minutes. Silly me thinking my stomach couldn’t hold them all. Could’ve easily downed 6. The stall is located in the very back right corner of the Corner 28 restaurant after you enter — just tell the lady how many you want, and she will prep it for you in a jiffy. There is also some seating available on the second floor for you to sit down and enjoy the duck buns. By no means is this a pristine location — it is very typical Chinese where it is crammed into one location amongst 5 other businesses, and they all sell similar items, but there is only ONE Peking Duck Sandwich Stall in Flushing.
