    It was my girlfriends birthday & I must say the rooftop was the perfect place for use to dine. With the NYC skyline & LGA airport near by, between the lights & watching planes land, it was great. We had the Roasted Bone Marrow & Lump Crab Cake for Apps, which were delightful. Then we both had a healthy NY strip with Mash, Creamed Spinach & Lobster Mac… which was AMAZING. To say the least, we will be back to try Brunch & maybe even a casual day at the bar. Thank you for the service ! 9/10

    Recommended to us by some friends from Beijing, they told us it is authentic and surely it is, we love it. For a party of 6 we ordered the full set Peking Duck (that is the main purpose of choosing Juqi), Beef Shank Bones with Tendon, Iron Griddle BBQ Lamb, Shredded Pork in Sweet Bean Sauce, Cauliflower in a Stone Pot, Taste of Beijing Appetizer Platter, Sauteed Sliced Tripe, Cabbage with Sesame Paste, it is lots of food, and they taste like the ones we tried in Beijing. Beside the food, the interior design is cool. We will definitely come back.
