Best Asian in the Triangle – The Duck and Dumpling is one of the few Asian restaurants I can go to in the Triangle-actually I drive all the way from Chapel Hill. Its not the typical Americanized Asian fare doled out at most Chinese/Japanese restaurants in the area so it is a welcomed change. Not only was the food and presentation outstanding, I found the service to be excellent as well.

Duck and Dumpling - Fantastic food and ambience – I've read several of the reviews and many were a little critical. This is not a chinese restaurant. The menu is oriental based but is very original. We moved here from Seattle and quite frankly the restaurant reminds me more of one found on the west coast. I find the food exceptional and go quite often. You cannot beat the price. I also think it is a great place if you have children; my kids love it.

Great After-Concert Place – My partner and I dropped in here unexpectedly after a downtown concert, and we decided to stop for drinks and appetizers. We were both exceedingly impressed with the tastes of the dumplings and the very upscale New York ambience. There was definitely a feel that we were not in Raleigh, but the wait staff were quick and friendly enough to remind us that we were. Will definitely go back again!!

I'll go back!! – There's a saying about most Asian food: you'll be hungry 30 minutes later. With this place, I just wanted to go back 30 minutes later to enjoy the vibe. The food's great--great filet cubes especially--but the overall feel really sets it apart. I would tell anybody who's looking for a hot date spot, go here. A huge step forward for Raleigh!!

Hands down the greatest addition to the downtown Raleigh restaurant scene. It's touted as Asian Bistro, not chinese so the food isn't oversauced, greasy, oily and fried like chinese food. The menu is well thought out matching sauces with appetizers to bring out the full flavor of different ingredients. Full flavors, great smell, friendly service, yum! And a great room in the back for parties of 12 or less.

OK – The food was ok- tried 3 different items (spring roll... not memorable), Tofu & Broccoli (bland) and a Chef's Special of Radish and Beans (salty). I probably won't go back, but it is an attractive place, the ambience was good, and the service was great. Perhaps if they upped the flavor I would be more excited that a place with such variety is actually in downtown Raleigh!

Great Gourmet Chinese... – but needs bolder flavors. The very likeable Chef David does a great job of presenting gourmet Chinese dishes, like the handmade shrimp and pork dumplings, moo shoo duck with hand-made wrappers, tender lamb, etc. However, the dishes lack the bold Chinese flavors that I hoped to find there. Traditional Chinese has wonderful flavors of five-spice, salty black beans, chili, sesame oil, ginger, sweet&sour, hot&sour, etc. but I did not find those exciting flavors here. My favorites were the dumplings and... read more

FABULOUS! – This is a great place to go before you go to the clubs. The drinks are great, the bartenders know just how to make drinks, and the food is excellent!

I love this place! – Everyone who works at this restaurant is extremely friendly. I recommend this to anyone wishing to have a good time. The bartenders make very good martini's-- ask for Terrance or Kendra. Both are very knowledgable and know the menu very well. The only down side is the music, which I have been told they are working on. The food is excellent... this is one of my favorite places in Raleigh.
