Duck n Bao

"As the name suggests, the Memorial neighborhood restaurant Duck ‘N Bao is best known for Peking duck and fluffy bao buns. This place is teeny—you can probably see what’s going on back in the kitchen from the host stand, but that makes it feel all the more intimate. The pan-fried beef bao is fine, but the focus should be on the Peking duck, which comes with paper-thin pancakes and a sweet duck sauce. The meat is delicate, and we’d eat the crackling crispy skin on its own. Come here when you need a quick weeknight dinner, a casual date night, or just want to appreciate some duck." - gianni greene, chelsea thomas

"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

"As its moniker hints, you’ll find half and whole presentations of Beijing duck at Duck N Bao. The With its thin, crispy skin, the savory meat boasts a gentle dusting of sugar and arrives with traditional accompaniments like cucumber, scallion, duck sauce, and pancakes. With the whole duck, guests have the option of having a large order of duck soup or minced duck meat in lettuce wraps." - Megha McSwain
