Xihe Peking Duck — Yonge Street

What is Xihe Peking Duck — Yonge Street? Located at 649 Yonge Street just south of Bloor on the western edge of Church-Wellesley Village, this compact downtown outpost brings Beijing-style roast duck into a fast-casual format. The clean, modern counter-service space features minimalist casual dining seating designed for quick dine-in meals and swift takeout orders. It operates as the downtown expansion of Xihe's Toronto footprint, centered on dedicated roasting ovens that turn out glistening, amber-skinned Ontario duck daily.

Xihe Peking Duck — Yonge Street Menu & What to Order The main draw is the Signature Peking Duck, carved in half or whole portions and packed with thin steamed pancakes, crisp cucumber, shredded scallions, duck sauce, and tangy hawthorn strips. Solo diners gravitate toward the viral Quack Wich sandwich or the popular Quarter Roast Duck and Samyang Spicy Noodles combo for a fiery, savory pairing. Add an order of crispy duck strips or Quack Frame fries, and wash it down with canned herbal tea or Genki Forest sparkling water; note that the menu is uncompromisingly duck-heavy with negligible vegetarian alternatives.

Know Before You Go Seating is strictly walk-in with no reservations, making peak weekday lunch hours and weekend dinner rushes prime times for quick takeout rather than lingering. Xihe is situated conveniently between Wellesley and Bloor-Yonge subway stations, which makes transit ideal since Yonge Street parking is limited. The kitchen is open seven days a week from 11:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.
