Today, my brother was in town and we went to Duck & Dumpling for lunch. We shared half a Peking Duck and soup, green beans, shrimp and pork soup dumplings, and shrimp wonton soup. Everything was great and filling! read more

This is the type of restaurants you come here purely for good food. The place looks like a previous fast food with minimum renovation. Staff were all right but mostly just offering basic services. However, the food was always excellent. The Roasted Duck (or Bejing Duck) is something you must order here. It's always roasted to perfection! The dumplings and potstickers are very good too. I like the pan fried ones more, but anything we ordered here are very good, never disappointed. read more

I have seen a lot of comments about Duck & Dumpling so my husband and i decided to check it out ourselves. We love Sichuan food and we' were excited to try a new place. It did not disappoint. We loved it. This will be a place the ends up on our Asian rotation. This is a small restaurant but has plenty of room and cute decor. The staff was helpful and friendly and very attentive. The food was delicious from the green beans, spicy and crispy chicken to the delicious fried rice. The food is authentic and served family style with huge portions. I would say that this is a great place for groups but is also great for a couple. With the huge portions you want to share. We certainly took home leftovers that lasted a couple more meals. We went on a Friday night but went early before a crowd began. By the time we left the place was beginning to fill up. If I had to fault anything it would be the sodium content but that is always high to us at any Asian restaurant. It's what makes everything yummy. We will be back to try other dishes. They are known for their duck platter which I would say is a must try. The presentation is beautiful. read more

The last time I had duck was in China, so I had/have high standards . I remember it being very moist and tasted like chicken. Here at duck and dumpling the star of the show is obviously their pecking duck (plate),and it was definitely noteworthy. It comes with all the fixings (sauces) steamed rice paper, cucumber, brown sugar and of course the duck sliced and crispy skin+ moist duck meat. I do have to mention that it comes with a complimentary duck soup with tofu and it was my least favorite out of my entire order!! It was my first time here and I was hungry but my eyes were hungrier! I also ordered the hot & sour pork dumplings, fried green beans, and pork belly dish. Again, the star of the show was the duck plate and the hot & sour pork dumplings were a close 2nd. Everything was great overall. Service was prompt and presentation of the duck plate was 10/10! Definitely recommend! read more

Heard a lot of good things about this place so naturally we had to try. We got the half duck and it was delicious but seemed small for half a duck IDK. The pork belly was my favorite and the green beans were tasty. The service is fantastic all the staff were super friendly. Eating here made me very comfortable as the ambiance was very chill and felt like a modern Asian restaurant with all the clean and fun decor. read more

1st bit of advise - this is located in the old taco cabana in near the HEBs curbside. If you blink you might miss it. 2nd bring some friends so you can all order tons of different things and share! The food was so fresh every thing came out as it was done and was so fresh and so flavorful! It's not too crowded and the fact you can see the ducks roasting as you sit and eat is always cool! Service was great and already planning our return visit to try the things we were too stuffed to get this time around. Definitely give it a try it's worth every penny read more

A casual spot with great flavors and a relaxed vibe. Our server stopped by often and provided friendly, attentive service without being overbearing. We ordered the Peking duck, crispy chicken, and a variety of handmade dumplings, and everything was flavorful and delicious. The Peking duck was definitely the star--perfectly moist meat with that crave-worthy crispy skin. The only downside was that the tables felt a bit too small to comfortably fit all the dishes, which made things a little cramped. Still, the food more than made up for it, and I'd happily come back to try more. read more

Went here on a Wednesday night for a double date night. They take walk ins only but arrive early enough and it shouldn't be a problem. My wife has been looking for a good soup dumpling place/xiaolongbao for the longest time since we moved here. This place did not disappoint! Being born and raised in Flushing Chinatown from NYC, this place felt like home from the ambiance to the multitude of different flavors in their in apps and entrees. My friends whom never had Peking Duck previously said it was the bomb diggity bomb. Of note, you can only order it with dining in. You can only get the half duck if you're a party of 3 or less but half should be more than enough. An added plus, this place is BYOB! read more

Absolutely amazing food everytime I've gone. The service is friendly and helpful. It's a small space but they make it work.

They serve authentic Chinese cuisine. Had this place bookmarked for the Peking duck. Restaurant was an old Taco Cabana, so it was pretty spacious. Here's what we ordered: Half Peking duck $31.95 (includes hoisin sauce, scallions, cucumbers, and spring pancake). Not sure if I've ever seen it served with sugar & honey mustard before, but that's what they had as well. I didn't try it. The duck skin was crispy and tasty, but my only complaint was that there was not enough duck meat. I joked that we got an anorexic duck. Some places use the remaining meat/bones to do a stir fry, but at Duck & Dumpling they made duck broth soup--which was decent as well. The soup consisted of the remaining bones/meat and cabbage. Braised beef noodle soup. $16.95 Handmade noodles. I loved the pickled greens. They provided plenty of meat, but also lots of fat/tendon. Broth was flavorful. Spicy and Sour Dumplings (pork & scallion) $12.95 - the dumplings were a little "hard" (thicker dumpling wrapper), but the meat was plentiful. Sauteed Bok Choy with Garlic $14.95 - good. Pork Xiao Long Bao (soup dumplings) $12.95 - comes with 6. Size of the dumplings were big ---and plenty of meat and juice. Probably my fav. dish this time. Overall, service was friendly. Would definitely come back and try other items or just whenever I crave Peking Duck and soup dumplings I know where to go. read more

I have been craving duck for a while now, this place popped up and I had to give it a shot. The duck was sooo flavorful and tender, the skin was roasted to perfection. We got some soup dumplings as well and they were very soupy inside. My kid ordered the spicy noodle soup and he was also hooked. This is definitely one to add to the rotation! read more

Delicious. Delicious. Delicious. This place was so good. The duck. The combo rice. The best teriyaki chicken I ever had. My sons loved their spicy beef noodle bowls. The brown sugar milk tea was so tasty. The service is a little slow but they are super nice. Clean inside. So good. Will definitely be back. read more

Duck & Dumpling is one of those places that reminds you why simple well executed food always wins. From the moment we walked in the place was buzzing with energy yet the wait was short and absolutely worth it. The staff was friendly efficient and clearly used to a full house. We started with the cheese puff rangoons which were crisp light and perfectly balanced. Not greasy just satisfying. The steamed bao buns deserve a special mention. They were incredibly fluffy with a soft pillowy texture and the pork filling was outstanding rich savory and comforting in the best way. The spicy chicken combination fried rice was packed with flavor and generous with ingredients. Every bite had texture heat and depth without going overboard. The steamed soup dumplings were a standout with delicate wrappers and a rich flavorful broth. The dumplings themselves were equally solid tender well seasoned and comforting. The green beans were glossy garlicky and addictive in that classic way where you keep reaching for one more. We did not order the duck this time but every table around us seemed to have it and it looked incredible which already sealed our plan to come back and try it next time. Every dish delivered and nothing felt like filler. Duck & Dumpling is doing the basics right and doing them consistently well. This is an easy return spot and one I would happily recommend without hesitation. read more

Stopped in with a friend for lunch as we wanted to try something new and after hearing good things. We beat the lunch crowd as it started to get packed after we sat down. I look over the menu, which has allot of options, and decide to keep it simple and go full dumpling mode. I start off with the red bean sesame balls then order 3 different types of dumplings (curry chicken & potato / beef & onion / pork & scallion) and had one each steamed, grilled, and pan fried respectively. The red bean sesame balls were nice and fresh with a nice flavor profile coming from the red bean paste....very tasty. The dumplings come out next and they all look delish. Each of the different stuffings were well seasoned and savory. I prefer the pan fried style but the steamed and grilled were also nice options. Overall, I really liked my first time here and looking forward to trying the duck next time. read more

I joined a friend for lunch on a Sunday. It wasn't too busy. You do have to wait to be seated, but they're pretty quick about it. The menu has plenty of options. They have dumplings and potstickers, but for those that want something more traditional, they have chow mein or lo mein. They also have vegan options, which is great for those that want to try their dumplings or pot stickers. I started off with the red bean sesame balls. I love red bean paste. No complaints about these sesame balls. I got the shrimp lo mein. The dish is definitely big enough to share. I shared it with someone else and still took some home for leftovers. I will admit they were a little skimpy with the shrimp. From looking around, I could tell that this is a family style dining restaurant. People had some amazing looking dishes at their tables. I only noted inside seating. Parking is available on site. read more

Came here the other night with my fiance. I did not have any issues finding parking but the lot was pretty packed. Went inside and attempted to put my name on waitlist through the tablet at the front. The tablet is not very responsive. It ended up not mattering because a server came out soon and brought us to a table. We order the half duck. Some important notes. They do not offer the duck for take out. The menu also says that groups of 3 or less are limited to just ordering the half duck. This did not matter to my fiance and I as the half duck was enough for us. We also ordered some dumplings. The duck came out really quickly. It had a great visual presentation. It came with different sauces and spring pancakes. My best description of spring pancake is that it seemed like a thinner version of a tortilla. It also came with some other sides to add to the duck. Sorry. Not sure what the other sides were. The duck was delicious and the skin was crispy. The different sauces that came with the duck were very tasty. The dumplings came out shortly after we finished the duck and were equally flavorful. The restaurant seemed a little louder than I would have like but is to be expected when you have food so good that your restaurant is packed even on a Thursday night. I recommend this place for great food and great service. read more

Food was excellent! We came about 1 week after they had just opened and it was all good food and good vibes all around We ordered: Half Duck Large Duck soup Chicken Dumpling Shrimp and pork dumplings Chicken Fried Rice The duck was...CHEF's kiss so tender inside yet crispy outside. Perfect with the rice paper, chives and hoisin sauce The soup was outta this world scrumptious! It's like a bring me back to life kinda soup! It's hearty, warm and delicious The dumplings were sooooo good! Ask for chili oil because you'll wanna dip them in! The shrimp dumplings each had a huge shrimp rolled inside...like woah Service was great - even though we were still there for the first week opening they had an efficient flow of people and servers. Our server was so funny, cool and full of amazing recommendations. I highly encourage you to try this gem read more

Not the best experience at Duck and Dumpling. When you walk in, no one that works there will acknowledge you, so it's confusing to figure out what to do. There's a notebook on the table for check-in, but no sign explaining that, and ordering requires scanning a QR code--again, with no clear instructions. A simple sign explaining the process would go a long way. Service overall was disappointing. The restrooms were also not clean, and the trash can placement inside the stall is awkward--I actually tripped over it when opening the door. The food was okay, maybe order to go. read more

My husband and I wanted to find an Asian restaurant to take some friends to and we're lucky that we found Duck and Dumpling. They some fantastic food. The soupy dumplings were fantastic and overfilled. They squirted several feet when I bit into them. The Peking duck was amazing. It was perfectly cooked and the skin was ultra crispy. The Peking duck came with duck broth soup. This dish is often overlooked but it was a great compliment to the duck and should be savored and appreciated on its own. We also tried the pan-fried bun with pork and scallion. This was ultra flavorful and delicious. Duck and Dumpling was an amazing find and we're very happy that we went. read more

Friends invited us to Duck & Dumpling. We didn't realize the restaurant was so near our house until I googled it. It turns out the restaurant is situated at an old Taco Cabana restaurant. We went for an early dinner so we didn't have to be waited to be seated. We ordered way too much food. Everything we tried was delicious, especially the duck. Our friends ordered so we weren't sure what to expect u til they appeared. Everything was yummy. read more

FINALLY we have another good Chinese spot in town! Glad we waited until the hype died down to check out this spot because I heard the wait times during opening week were crazy. This is hands down THE place in town to get Beijing-style roast duck and la zi ji (spicy fried chicken). I could honestly talk about that chicken all day...the serving size was huge. We had 3 people and we barely made a dent in the giant portion size they gave. The meat was also soooo tender, fried to perfection and the numbing spice wasn't over-powering. The food was delicious - everything we got was so good! Plus, there was virtually no wait, the servers were quick and efficient, the restaurant was new and clean, and the food came out really fast. I will definitely be back to try the rest of their menu! read more

The food deserves way beyond a 5 star rating. They're still working out the kinks so the service is slow and unorganized. Someone should be greeting guests and show them where to check in- which is just to the left when you walk in. More than likely you won't see it because there will be a crowd. We ordered way too much food but wanted to try so many things! We had the half duck, cheese crab puffs, shrimp pork & chive dumplings and the vegan sesame sauce noodle. All of the dishes were incredibly flavorful and cooked to perfection. They also serve a delicious soup at the beginning which was a nice surprise! Warning: extremely loud inside. It was difficult to hear my husband sitting across the table from me. Babies screams were shockingly loud and almost painful. So be prepared! Was it worth it? Abso-freaking-lutely! read more

Service was fast and efficient and ambiance is plain and simple but food is outstanding, which to me, matters more. We will be back! read more

Duck & Dumpling - Duck taco - Noodles Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Duck & Dumpling has become one of my favorite places in town. Every single dish I've ordered has been fantastic. The Peking duck is outstanding, the garlic green beans are addictive, the mapo tofu is packed with flavor, and the crispy spicy chicken is exactly what I want when I'm craving something with a little heat. Honestly, I haven't found a bad item on the menu. What makes this place even more special to me is how welcoming they've been to my dog. He's clean, well-groomed, perfectly behaved, and happily sits next to me without barking or bothering anyone. The staff has always been incredibly kind and accommodating. I work from home, so my dog and I spend most of our days together. Leaving him behind for long stretches feels like torture, so being able to enjoy a great meal while he tags along makes a huge difference. Great food, great service, and a dog-friendly attitude that keeps me coming back. Duck & Dumpling absolutely deserves five stars. read more

A solid 4 stars for this restaurant that specializes in duck and dumplings. I finally tried this spot and was not disappointed by the duck. The skin is so crispy and the meat is cooked well. The portion, however, was small for price. Also, you must have a party of 4 to get a whole duck--otherwise you're only allowed a half portion. The duck also comes with duck soup, which was a nice "freebie." The soup wasn't anything special, but it was still appreciated and a nice start to the meal. The soup dumplings had a great outer wrapper and were very soupy, but the seasoning was just slightly off--it was missing some sugar that usually makes soup dumplings have that recognizable hint of sweetness. For the price and the quantity, I recommend you skip the steamed soup dumplings and instead get the pan fried pork soup buns. These fried buns are essentially bigger versions of the soup dumplings but have a crispy crust (but same thing wrapper) and tons of soup (& meat filling). There is black vinegar at each table, but I do wish they brought out freshly julienned ginger to add to the vinegar in order to make it an authentic sauce to add to the soup dumplings/fried pork buns. It is more of a casual vibe here, and service was quick. I probably won't revisit here unless I am craving some duck. read more

Duck: Amazing. Must order. Dumplings: Also amazing. I'm very partial to the XLB, which are enormous and much better than anything you will find locally. My only wish is for a non-pork option. Having sampled various other dumplings from their menu, I found most are good, but the XLB are fantastic. Everything else is just filler. The fried rice and chow mein dishes are not that great. Green beans are ok. Nothing much stands out. read more

So excited we have this restaurant in San Antonio. We ordered the mushroom soup dumplings, green beans, the whole duck, and crab rangoons. My favorite thing I had were the soup dumplings, I had not found good soup dumplings in SA yet and these I definitely plan on going back for. Their chili oil was also super tasty. The duck was good as well, my only wish is that they had the bao buns but that's my personal preference with Peking duck. The soup that comes with the duck is super flavorful and felt very light as well. My husband loved the crab rangoons as well. The service was really fast as well. We go the restaurant at 6 pm on a Friday. and there was almost no one there and we were surprised. About 20 minutes later the entire place was packed so try to get there early as well. read more

Exciting to see more Asian restaurants open around San Antonio. We went around 2:30 on Saturday to avoid the crowds and surprisingly the restaurant was pretty full still. I had to order their duck and an order of their dumplings (hence their name, right?). I got the half duck because my husband didn't want any. Ended up giving him a bite because it was so delicious! There's a korean saying outside crispy and moist in the inside. Thats exactly how the duck was! Also, the thin rice paper/bun was really delicious and complimented well with the duck. This reminded me of ultra thin tortillas. Hubby ordered the spicy crispy chicken, which was enormous portion and pretty good. Pork shrimp dumplings were decent as well. I would come back for the duck! read more

This is a Tasty Spot for Dumpling & Duck! We came here a day early to celebrate Father's Day--it was only their second day of soft opening and overall, we were impressed! The space still kind of looks like the old Taco Cabana, but they've done a good job making it feel like their own. The kitchen's open, so you can actually see the dumplings and duck being freshly made, which we loved. We ordered a lot, as in: Peking Duck (delicious and crispy skin juicy meat, though the duck broth soup was served late), Xiao Long Bao (pretty good but were spoiled from Joe's Shanghai in NYC), vegan book Chou and mushy dumplings (so good), shrimp fried rice, curry chicken pot stickers (amazing--reminded us of roti canal), spicy and crispy chicken (tasty but felt out of place), and a few more dishes. Everything was solid overall! Service was friendly-Eileen in particular was super helpful and patient. They're still obviously figuring it things out (lots of server bouncing between tables), but we expect that with a soft opening. Glad we came early--the line got long fast. It was a bit of a drive, but totally worth it. We'll definitely be back to try more-and finally, Tasty Modern Asian Kitchen has some real competition for best duck in town. read more
