Editorial Review for The Duck & Dumpling – by Trevor Holland
In Short
This downtown addition is cosmopolitan in style and decor, with beautiful mahogany wood paneling enhanced by warm red lighting. Classic jazz plays in the background, tables are well spaced with occasional glass partitioning. The light, pan-Asian menu consists of classic Vietnamese dishes of grilled lemongrass pork or chicken. Steak lovers will enjoy the braised New York strip with garlic sauce, cut into bite-sized morsels and tasting as tender as caramel.

The Duck & Dumpling is a favorite stop on the Raleigh Food Tour. Not only is the presentation delicious to the eye, the handmade dumplings are scrumptious. The attention to detail at this restaurant sets it apart from the ordinary. The dinners are a fabulous fusion of flavor and never disappoint. Try the succulent tenderloin tips or seafood medley. The fresh flavors of ginger or lemongrass soar. This is the real thing!
Pros: Olivia & James are wonderful managers.

My wife and I had heard that this place was a great dinning experience. Let me tell you just how "great" it wasn't; we were not very hungry so we stopped in to grab a drink and a couple of appetizers. If the bartender could have fit one more ice cube in my glass it would have officially been the first frozen gin & tonic. We ordered two different appetizers, the eggplant dish (8.50) and the spring wrap (6.00). The eggplant dish was composed of three small slices of eggplant with a shrimp puree on it. If we were runway models this would have been something we needed a doggie bag for. The bartender brought our spring rolls out about ten minutes later after she said that she would go back to the kitchen to see where they were. After being extremely dissapointed with the eggplant, we actually got a little excited with the delay thinking she would appear with a plate of six to eight spring wraps. NOT! They brought out a plate with two, yes two spring rolls on it. We could see why it took an extra ten minutes to prepare that. It's a possibility that dinners could be much better here but if they are anything like the anorexic food we were served, you had better have a back up plan. We spent $32 plus tip for something that cost the restaurant about $2, boy are we in the wrong business!
