I always find my saucy noodle/rice deliveries have greasy dishes or spilled/sticky sauces but everything was packaged extremely well. The Pad Thai has fantastic flavor, the veggies are crisp and fresh, and the peanuts add the perfect little crunch. Add a twist of lime and you're in business for the next three days of lunch or dinner. The cream cheese wontons were mediocre, I wish there was more wrapper to kinda soak up some of that cream cheese but it has a good flavor and I love the dipping sauce. The eggroll wasn't my favorite but I'm not huge on eggrolls to begin with but they look really good and they're perfectly crispy. Now, the Vietnamese coffee cannot be slept on. Order it every single time, just trust me. Creamy, bold flavor but it doesn't feel like you're drinking a cup of creamer. I'd go back for the coffee and Pad Thai once a week if I could.

Could use more veggies though, but this is based on personal preference Space is small but fits a big family if you're planning to visit! Service was quick and will be back again

There were other great options too! So this would be a solid date spot or meeting with friends so everyone can get something they like. There is a fair amount of seating inside and a fair amount of seating outside on a patio. There really isn't a view for the patio. There are free parking lots across the street though! Service: This is where they lost a star from us. The woman who took our order had no energy, wasn't very friendly and just looked annoyed we were ordering. I had heard good things about the service, so this was a bummer. The food: We got them take out wings and each got the pork ramen. The wings are very good, but best in twin cities? No. Are they worth getting? If you love a crunchy wing, then yes! The ramen had the most flavorful broth!! Oh my goodness it was rich and full of flavor! The noddles were cooked perfectly!

There is free street parking surrounding this place! There is also valet if you want a more elevated experience. The decor in this place is so warm and welcoming. It feels like you have been transported out of Minneapolis and somewhere in California! Our server and the hostess were both friendly and did a wonderful job! When we arrived we were given a nonalcoholic shot, which was very tasty! This place is pretty strict one sending in your whole order at once, so appetizer and entree go in at the same time. They can stagger how they bring out the dishes though! The food was incredible! We started with the basil wings! Those are a MUST! The wing is so juicy and has great flavor! As entrees, we had the New York strip laab. This is a chilled steak dish. Our steak was more "luke warm" but the flavor was explosive! The steak was also done to a perfect medium the whole way through! The salad was bright and paired so well! This was our favorite dish! The green curry octopus was tender and the green curry tasted so fresh! The peas in this dish felt overpowering and we did not care for them. The scallop crudo was light, melt in your mouth! The coconut milk and citrus paired so well in this dish! Unique! My only complaint was that it was not as pretty as it was on the webpage. For dessert we got some cocktails! Their version of an espresso martini was pretty good but I have had better. The gold coffee bean was a nice touch! The show stopper was the orange blossom pistachio cake! Oh my gosh!!! Each bite just got better!! I will be dreaming of this dessert!! So delicious!! This place is worth the hype and I will definitely be back!!

It definitely leans more on the $$$ side, but the quality and overall experience make it worth it for a special night out. The vibe of the restaurant is one of my favorite parts though. It has such a warm, stylish atmosphere that feels both upscale and welcoming at the same time. The lighting is cozy, the decor is beautiful without feeling overdone, and the whole space has a trendy but relaxed energy that makes you want to stay awhile. It's perfect for date nights, catching up with friends, or celebrating something special without feeling overly formal. The staff has always been friendly and attentive too, which really adds to the overall experience.

I found this restaurant while planning a visit near Lake Nokomis and Lake Hiawatha. I walked here…read morefrom the lakes and ordered the beef drunken kao piak, which I had never tried before--and it was good! It's a stir-fried udon dish with vegetables and beef, and it was very flavorful. The portion size was reasonable for the price. I did look over the menu's meat options and didn't see duck listed, which surprised me given the restaurant's name. One downside is that the restaurant is quite small and can probably seat only about 10 people. That said, I appreciated how conveniently located it is near the Metro Blue Line train station, which made it easy for me to head to my next destination.

We ordered the Lotus Bahn Mi, the Beef Lo Mein, and the Eggrolls. The Lo Mein was delicious, the egg rolls were some of the best we've had in the Twin Cities, and the Bahn Me had such a refreshing taste paired with an amazing bread. I'd recommend all 3 dishes. The place is a little small, but very cute and cozy. Staff was extremely nice, and attentive. They were happy to talk about the options as well. We'll definitely be back, next time I'm going to try their Pho!

Service is friendly, the food is tasty, and the price is affordable. With all that said, the restaurant has some things that might turn off some people.

We will continue to visit the restaurant, but I want to make it known to others about all my experiences. Pros: - Several. We have always felt the hospitality is superb.

The only slight miss for me were the spring rolls but just due to personal preference. Highly recommend!

The water was literally ice cold when washing my hands. We went for lunch on a weekend. Ended up ordering a lot of apps. Golden Fried Chicken Wings - these were good but nothing too special. I liked dipping them in sweet and sour sauce. Probably wouldn't get again unless I really wanted wings for some reason. Pot Stickers - also good! But again, nothing super special. The sauce was amazing though, wish it came with more. Would maybe get again. Crispy Chicken Egg Rolls - freaking fantastic. One of the best egg rolls ever. Give me two dozen of these for my entire meal please... Sautéed Deep Fried Potatoes - this was my main meal and it was good, but yet again, nothing super special. I wish there would have been a little more flavor. It was a great portion size, and the potatoes were the star of the show. I would get something else if I were to go back to Duc's. Kung Pao - my wife got the combo of this. It was actually quite good. Slightly spicy, if you don't like spice I would avoid. She seemed to really enjoy it. Cost -$85 with tax and tip. Yes we got 3 apps, but it felt a bit expensive. Also, we ordered water but got water bottles. Felt wasteful to use plastic and get charged. Would be nice if we just got water glass cups. Overall, I would go back but maybe not right away. I'm not inching to go back. But.... you should give Duc's a try.
