"Like everything in the goat empire (for example, Girl & The Goat and Cabra), Duck Duck Goat is a fun spot with solid food. You’ll find Chinese dishes with twists—like moo shu with shrimp and bacon—plus options incorporating goat, like the Xi'an goat slap noodles. The lively environment will set the celebratory tone, but there are also two rooms available for private dinners of up to 35 people. Although you’ll probably want to invite fewer people because that means more soup dumplings left for you." - veda kilaru, john ringor, adrian kane, nick allen
