Duck n Bao

Chinese restaurant · River Oaks

"Many area restaurants offer duck, but few have had the immediate success that Duck N Bao experienced after its initial opening. The restaurant’s calling card lies within its name. The whole Beijing duck is barbecued until crisp and comes with traditional fixings like pancakes, duck sauce, soup, cucumbers, and scallions. But don’t sleep on other mains like tea leaf pork ribs, stir-fried lotus root, whole steamed fish, and its diner-favorite soup dumplings. Diners can also fulfill their Beijing duck fix at Duck N Bao’s other locations in Memorial and Rice Village." - Brittany Britto Garley, Lane Gillespie
