REALLY, REALLY GOOD! – The food here is outstanding, I have eaten here a number of times and never hesitate to go back. I can't say enough about the fried rice. The last time we went we had a large table and ordered a lot of different dishes. All were delicous. Drink specials were a little weird though, can't remember what they were but I think one had an egg in gin or vodka, can't speak to how it tasted though..I took a pass on that one :)

First Time Diner and will be going back – My husband and I decided to try this restaurant for the first time tonight and had a great experience. It was busy so I was surprised that we were seated right away (we did get there early 6:30 PM). All of the employees were friendly, from the hostess, water refiller, door opener and waitress. The food was great, the value was very good, the dessert (chocolate cheesecake was excellent). We will definitely being going back!! I got the Beef Curry, my husband got the Ginger Duck and we ... read more

Perfect for lunch – I ordered off the Price Fixe Menu for lunch - $12 for choice of appetizer, entree, and dessert. I had the salad which was bigger than i expected and their ginger dressing was creamier than i was used to, but very good. I chose the Tofu and Broccoli entree. The broccoli were cooked perfect - bright green and crunchy - they must have been steamed. And the tofu was placed in the middle. It was steaming hot with a crispy outside and thick delicious sauce. With the scoop of ice cream, it was just enough to sat... read more

I wish I could give the Duck 10 stars! – I could eat at the Duck and Dumpling every day and be happy! I think I've tried almost everything on the menu and have found nothing disappointing! The Diver Sea Scallops in ginger sauce on Chef David's winter menu may be the best dish I've ever had, EVER. I have read other reviewers complain about the size of the portions and it is true that the small plate offerings are small. That is why they are called "small plates." The large plate entrees are enough for one diner, but they are ... read more

Still hungry after spending $130+ – The food was good, but I am still hungry even after spending over $130 for 3 people. The portion sizes were very small on the appetizers as well as entrees. The entree called Lion's Head was very misleading. It was supposed to be ground pork wrapped around diver sea scallops. Well, there was ONE scallop on this entree, and it was small and overcooked-- not what I expected for $22. There was a dessert called Chocolate Souffle. It was NOT a souffle at all. Instead, it was a small brownie, he... read more

Best Dumplings in the world!!! – I have never liked dumplings. I even lived near Cinatown in NYC but I just didn't like them. But a friend took me to Duck and Dumpling the other night and we had their pork dumplings and I have seen the light!!! So much flavor. Our server said the chef hand rolls them all. You must try these when you go. The place even reminds me of some hippy-chic urban restaurant. The decor feels like a night on the town. We also had hummus made from edamame. Our entrees included sea bass with a citrusy-soy... read more

Authentc fusion of Chinese and Vietnamese cuisine – The Duck & Dumpling is a favorite stop on the Raleigh Food Tour. Not only is the presentation delicious to the eye, the handmade dumplings are scrumptious. The attention to detail at this restaurant sets it apart from the ordinary. The dinners are a fabulous fusion of flavor and never disappoint. Try the succulent tenderloin tips or seafood medley. The fresh flavors of ginger or lemongrass soar. This is the real thing!

Dump the Duck – My wife and I had heard that this place was a great dinning experience. Let me tell you just how "great" it wasn't; we were not very hungry so we stopped in to grab a drink and a couple of appetizers. If the bartender could have fit one more ice cube in my glass it would have officially been the first frozen gin & tonic. We ordered two different appetizers, the eggplant dish (8.50) and the spring wrap (6.00). The eggplant dish was composed of three small slices of eggplant with a shrimp puree on it. If we wer... read more

The Way It Should Be! – I ate at The Duck and Dumpling for the first time, after wanting to eat there for years. I am so glad I did. As I ate my first bite of food, I realized the low quality of other Asian food I had eaten in the past. Each dish I ate was creative, light, and full of flavor. This is the way all Asian food should taste. The restaurant itself is trendy and chic, and the service was good. Everyone was very friendly. I will definitely return.
