How do I reserve Peking duck?
Z & Y Peking Duck serves only a limited number of ducks each day (about 30), so it is highly recommended that you reserve your duck well in advance. This applies to both dining in and ordering a takeout if you wish to enjoy their famed dish at home.
Online Booking (Preferred):
Book your table —and/or reserve your Peking duck by adding a note in the special request field—using our online reservation platform to select your date and party size. This is the fastest way to guarantee one of our 30 daily ducks.
Phone Reservation (Alternative):
Prefer to talk with us? Call (415) 986‑1899 and let us know you’d like to reserve a Peking duck. Because availability is limited, please mention the duck specifically so we can set one aside for you.
Group Size Consideration: For online bookings, we require reservations for a minimum number of guests (for instance, parties of 4 or more) when ordering the whole duck. Be sure to confirm this while you reserve your table if you’re planning to dine in.
Please note that for groups of ten, we can only reserve up to 2 whole Peking Ducks.
Special Instructions:
When making your reservation (whether by phone or online), explicitly state that you wish to reserve the Peking duck. This ensures that the restaurant can allocate the duck for your meal, as it may be prepared using a labor-intensive, 48-hour process (involving air-pumping, blanching, drying, and roasting) that is critical to achieving the dish’s signature crisp skin and succulent meat.
How do I book a party of two?
Please call our front desk (415) 986 1899 to inquire about reservations.
