"“This is a place that Cara, my agent and I go to. It’s just a good time. I love Chinese food, it’s one of my favourite cuisines. The wasabi prawns are pretty unreal. They do a pork bao there which I love, and that my brother Sam actually now will cook at home. And his pork bao are actually way better. And you can print that.”" - jake missing
"Your heart says ‘beer’ but your stomach says ‘prawn toast’. What to do? We suggest hitting up The Duck and Rice, where there’s a plush looking ‘pub’ downstairs with massive vats of Pilsner Urquell lying around for the freshest pours, and small plates of dim sum on the menu. Upstairs, there’s a sleek dining room serving dishes that are great for group hangs, like roast duck, noodle dishes, and of course, prawn toast." - heidi lauth beasley
"Kev wants to hit somewhere casual for dinner. Sophia wants somewhere a bit fancy. The Duck and Rice is a happy medium that will guarantee neither of them can use their atmosphere preferences as a lame excuse to bail out early on the night. This restaurant has a posh-ish pub downstairs and a busy posh-ish restaurant upstairs serving very tasty and not too expensive Chinese food. Make sure that the crispy duck, dumplings, and Singapore noodles are on the table so all dish preferences are also covered." - heidi lauth beasley, eileen twum
"The Duck And Rice is part pub, part Chinese restaurant. Your home is part kitchen, part living room. Do you see where we’re going with this? Crank the speakers loud in your kitchen and set up an ice bucket of grab-ready pints so you can say ‘just popping to the bar, do you want another’ AKA. one of the best sentences in the English language. Meanwhile, your table in ‘the restaurant’ will be covered in crispy fried duck, noodles, and a selection of dim sum. Venison puff with your pint anyone? Optional extras: Bamboo steamers, tankards, and a good-natured drinking chant." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing
"A pub and a Chinese restaurant is a hybrid that’s good for humans and dogs alike. The Duck and Rice is an excellent option in Soho when you’re wandering about, wondering where to go together. It’s a casual gastropub atmosphere downstairs and there’s dim sum, bao, as well as an array of Cantonese duck options to choose from." - Heidi Lauth Beasley, Jake Oliver, Rianne Shlebak
