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

Each dish was super flavorful and had a good amount of kick but not too much for the midwestern palate IMO. The Brussel sprouts and sweet potatoes were INCREDIBLE and I loved the beef rendang and fish sauce caramel pork were delicious too. Don't skip on the bread pudding for dessert. The only slight miss for me were the spring rolls but just due to personal preference. Highly recommend!

The interior is going for pacific coastal vibes with fun colors, bountiful foliage and tiki decor. We started with the English Pea Wontons which provides a few bites of wontons soaked in the delicious Tom Kha coconut broth. Next, the Fried Brussel Sprouts with the sweet and savory dressing and pork belly is a new personal favorite take on the popular side dish. The Beef Rendang was a delightful mix of spice, herbs, coconut, and tamarind. The beef was tender and the broth was perfectly rich! The toasted coconut milkjam ice cream was an odd, crumbling, dry texture that was not enjoyable. Might be the worst dairy free ice cream I've had unfortunately. The service was very attentive, friendly and helpful and I'm excited to return!

They did not have that anymore, but they did have their spring rolls with their peanut sauce. I'm vegan so I appreciate any place that offers vegan. Oh my goodness they are so tasty.

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.

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! Definitely one of the best ramen dishes I have had in the twin cities! We would have tried the ribs but they were all out of :( Definitely check this place out!

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.

It was a pleasure to eat and LTK is definitely on our repeat list.

Plenty of parking in the shared lot. The interior of this space is fairly generic, but clean. Service was ROUGH! Their ice machine was "broken" so we had room temperature water, which was unfortunate given the spice level of the food. The heat inside was kicked up too high, so we were uncomfortably sweating. The order our food was delivered...entree #1, app #1, entree #2, app #2, all about 5 minutes apart (insert scratching head emoji). The server also didn't ask how spicy we wanted the Panang curry, and it came out blazing. I guess I'm just accustomed to them asking about Spice Level, especially in Minnesota. The food was great, so that redeemed the location amongst their service woes. Freshly fried Cream Cheese Wontons were little pillows of goodness. The Pork Egg Rolls were crispy and filled with flavor. My Pad Thai was very saucy, which I appreciated since sometimes places leave the dish too dry. The Panang Curry had good flavor, but as described above, was VERY spicy. Might give this spot another chance when I'm craving takeout, but likely won't dine in again.

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!

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.
