OK Food. Not Authentic. – The food was just OK here. If you are looking for fancy continental sized services of fusion style food, then you are at the right place. Personally, when I eat Chinese, I'm looking for a place that's going to have authentic food. The ambience here is amazingly beautiful, however, I go to restaruants to eat, not to be wowed by interiors.

Just Another Average Place – Been there couple of times for the dumplings. The staffs are quite friendly but the price is a bit high for the kind of food they are serving. Overall, this is a better Chinese restaurant in Raleigh. Now, what the hell is "Asian Bistro"??? What's next "Indian Brasserie"? I find this Asian Fusion concept a bit played out.

Lots o' fun at urban bistro – I came into the Duck and Dumpling on a hopping Saturday night with several friends. We didn't have a reservation so we waited at the bar for a table. The decor is great, lots of style, very hip. I felt like I was in a total urban setting. The red lights over the bar are cool. The bar staff was friendly and informative, with many drink specials to choose from. It was clear they enjoyed being there. I looked over a menu as we waited. It was so interesting-sounding. We got to the table, a little cr... read more

What a wonderful experience! – I really dont know what that last guys talking about because our meal was GREAT! My husband and I went to The Duck and Dumpling on Friday because it was suggested by friends and WOW!! I had a FABULOUS Pumpkin Martini, 2 acutally, that tasted like spiked pumpkin pie. Our waitress told us about the appetizer and dinner features, of which there are many, and told us if we hadnt been in before we HAD to try the dumplings, which is EXACTLY what are friends who recommended the restaurant had said. I ... read more

Good food and even better service – Having searched for decent Asian food in the Triangle, this has been one of my favorites thus far. The dumplings are good! Almost as good as mom makes. Entrees are much better than the average we get in Raleigh - clean tasting flavors, expertly stir fried (perfectly cooked meat and veggies). If you're expecting food drenched in gloppy sugary sauce - this is not the place. We had the ginger lamb and moo shu duck - both were delicious. The only complaint is the moo shu wrappers were a little... read more

False Promises and Mediocre Food – From a favorite restaurant to the most despised in Raleigh, all it took was a series of unfortunate events. Dining here on my birthday, the bartender offered a free bottle of wine but later billed us for it at the end of the meal. The Manager later called and apologized and offered the wine again. Returning a few days ago, the offer of the wine was retracted to my dismay as the owner stated the Manager exceeded her authority. This bait and switch type tactic will keep me from ever returning... read more

The waitress was the saving grace.......... – The service was the only shining spot in a night of mediocre food. Their dumplings were great I'll give them credit for that. It's too bad you can't get a whole meal of just dumplings. The Sushi grade tuna was flaky but the taste was a bit off, and the vegetables for lack of a better term were bitter and took away from the flavor. Their "Shaken Beef" was supposed to be shaken in a sauce, but the only taste I received was from the sauce at the bottom of the dish-and overall the me... read more

Upscale Asian Bistro brings finesse to downtown Raleigh. – In Short This downtown addition is cosmopolitan in style and decor, with beautiful mahogany wood paneling enhanced by warm red lighting. Classic jazz plays in the background, tables are well spaced with occasional glass partitioning. The light, pan-Asian menu consists of classic Vietnamese dishes of grilled lemongrass pork or chicken. Steak lovers will enjoy the braised New York strip with garlic sauce, cut into bite-sized morsels and tasting as tender as caramel.

Nothing exciting about this place! – We expected this place to be above all of chinese restaurants in as far as taste but nothing unusual here. The appetizers were expensive for what you get and the entrees though nice presentation left me still hungry. We were paying for the presentation than the taste of the food. I had better at other Chinese restaurants. We would not go back!
