This place is really nice! The restaurant has a really nice theme to it & it was very clean. The service was excellent, every once in awhile someone would walk by & check up on me & also pick up any dishes I was finished with. Everyone was very friendly. As far as the food, the food was great too. I get how some reviewers were complaining how the duck skin wasn't as crispy but does it really need to? I've eaten Peking duck numerous times in my lifetime & yeah sometimes when it's crispy the meat is dry. Duck is different from pork. The duck meat here was very moist, fatty & tender. I do agree with some readers who eat spicy foods. I think our palettes are used to hot/spicy foods so eating something like Duck n Bao can be estranged, but it wasn't that bad either. You get to taste the real full flavors & textures that some times peppers can cover over & mask the taste. Also their crab puffs are one of the best I've eaten. I normally don't order crab puffs at restaurants because you can get them anywhere & a lot of times they're very mediocre but these were bomb! I'm glad I ordered it. The soup dumplings were my least favorite. I think maybe it was the sauce that came with it but it wasn't not good or anything. Overall I would come back again & try other dishes on the menu like their braised pork belly, duck soup & vegetable dishes.

While the food is presented in Bento boxes, this is actually a Chinese restaurant. Beautifully appointed space in a generic strip mall location. Lunch was a mixed bag, hence the 3 star review. I enjoyed the general Charles chicken, but my lunch companion, and I both agreed that the beef and broccoli was not really edible - soggy and no flavor. That being said, the next time I have a craving for Chinese food I would give it a second try.

Duck and Bao was absolutely delicious. We had the Cheese/Crab Puffs, fried rice, Hot & Sour Soup, and Chicken Soup Dumplings. All items came out fresh and in a timely manner. The staff were all very friendly, but our server was outstanding. She was helpful, attentive, informative, and very kind. The restaurant has a very nice vibe, parking was great and the prices were extremely reasonable. I recommend this restaurant to anyone and would 100% return again.

Our party of 4 traveled 90 miles to eat here for my daughter's 21st birthday. It was well worth it and far exceeded our expectations. The soup dumplings were delicate and flavorful. The duck was juicy, melt-in-your-mouth tender, and had perfectly crispy skin. The cocktails were literally the best we've ever had. My only regret is that we didn't try more of the menu. It was one of the best meals we've ever had and can't wait to return!
