My husband and I have been here multiple times (both dine in and take out / delivery) in the last few months, and it definitely hits the spot anytime we're craving Peking duck or just solid Chinese food in the area! Service is usually pretty fast, and the ambiance is nice and clean inside. The star of the show here is definitely the Peking duck, though the stir fried green beans are a very close second. If you're in a party of 3 or under, you can only get the half duck which is definitely a good amount of food. The half duck comes with duck broth soup (great way to start the meal), and then they bring out the carved duck along with the pancake wrappers and all the classic toppings. I haven't been disappointed with the duck yet! In addition to the duck, we really enjoy the stir fried green beans (as mentioned above), the eggplant & minced pork noodles, and the spicy & crispy chicken (probably my husband's favorite Chinese dish of all time). Their dumplings are good as well, and I quite like the curry chicken & potato potstickers. I also want to call out that they gave us sweet & sour chicken on the house with one of our recent delivery orders, which was unexpected and very nice! All in all, this will definitely be a place we continue to return to! read more

700th review I remember like it was yesterday when I ventured into Bamboo House in Houston. It was spectacular and definitely filled the void of Peking duck. Duck & Dumpling is the collab behind the restaurant known for their crispy duck made with northern style crepes for the wrapping. I finally ventured into this restaurant on a Sunday and it was not busy at all. We were seated right away and proceeded to order the 1/2 set of the peking duck along with a spicy & crispy chicken as well while waiting on the order. The dish came out spicy, as expected. Its noted to be one of their most popular dishes. The duck order came out in phases with the soup being the first course. Then the star of the show arrived not too long after. Apparently there is a note that they will only sell you 1/2 an order for parties of 3 or less. That's somewhat strange and also I've watched them being out only 1/2 an order at a time anyway for a large party. I guess its to spread out the workload of the kitchen and to ensure they have enough time to roast more ducks. Was there a table side carving and a show? No but this was the closest thing to the real deal and does knock the socks off of more expensive places. Service was good. We have eaten here several times now and never waited long for anything. read more

The atmosphere here is kind of a mixed bag. It obviously was something different to begin with, probably not Asian, so the atmosphere has a near zero Asian vibe. It's clean and bright, just nondescript. We noticed about 80% of the clientele were Asian and almost everyone ordered Peking Duck. We didn't come for that, just wanting some dumplings and split an entree. We ordered the mixed fried dumplings and a crispy spicy chicken dish. The chicken came out first with white steam rice (no options available). While I was eating this dish, I found it delicious to the point I had a hard time stopping. It was exactly crispy, and very spicy. I love that! The dumplings came later. We liked them well enough. Service was efficient. There is a button on the table to call for a server. I found this funny, but it works. Toward the end of the meal I notice a very salty taste in my mouth I could not rid with water. I recognized it to be MSG. No wonder it was so tasty! I had that salt taste for hours and felt bad later. My mistake for not asking for "no msg". Be forewarned if you do not like this substance. read more

This was our first time to Duck & Dumpling, as well as trying Peking Duck, and it exceeded our expectations. The duck, shrimp & pork & chive potstickers, and the chicken fried rice was delightful. Coupled with a Thai tea and mango tea...wow! The service was great, too, and it was a clean & tidy restaurant. It was a special meal, and a wonderful experience. We will definitely be back! read more

Duck & Dumpling - Half duck with duck soup, shrimp & pork & chive potstickers, chicken fried rice, Thai tea, mango tea - Chinese Near Me - Plano, Texas

One of the best places for peking duck! The skin was so crispy and the duck soup that came with it was very savory. Our favorite dish, however, was the eggplant and minced pork noodles. It was SO addicting and the noodles were perfectly al dente. The only dish we regretted getting was the beef spicy and sour dumplings-- the skin was a bit too thick. We're definitely going to go back to try their beef soup noodles! All the portions were large that our lovely waitress made sure we had plenty of boxes to take our leftovers home. read more

Been thinking about duck for a while and this place did not disappoint. Mustard sauce really compliments that juice and fat. Duck soup was very flavorful. I'll pass on the Dumplings, guess I'm not a fan of curry. My daughter enjoyed the Chow Mein. The service was stellar. Five stars for that alone. Quiet and quaint establishment just like I like it. Mom and pops vibe all the way. read more

We went to Duck & Dumpling mainly for the Peking Duck. We ordered a full duck and they brought out half at a time. The duck was juicy, pancakes were decent, and garnishes/condiments were nice. I didn't think it was mind-blowing delicious, though. Green beans were the best dish of the night as I kept going back for more. Dumplings were plump and filling (Curry Potato Dumplings were interesting). Spicy Chicken got spicier as you eat it but not up front. There's a call button at the table so that was nice in case the servers didn't come around for a while. read more

We went to this place for dinner. Decor, wall drawings, and overall environment are really cute. The service was also very good.We ordered the pork steamed dumplings and combo chow mein. The food was decent overall: the chow mein was a bit too oily, and while the dumplings were fresh, they weren't anything particularly special. read more

Had a great date night here! Tried the duck and the beef and pork steamed dumplings. The duck is amazing! Definitely not filling enough on its own thought so I would get some dumplings to go with it. I also appreciate the soup that comes with the duck. The pork dumplings were my favorite of the two. We also got their chocolate dumplings for dessert which were fun to try! The servers are not attentive on their own, but there is a small button on your table that you can press and they will come right away so just be sure to do that if you need anything! read more

Such a great new spot! We ordered the xialongbao, szechuan tantan noodles, shrimp & pork spicy wontons, stir fried green beans, spicy & crispy chicken and of course we had to try the duck so we ordered the half duck with duck broth soup. The soup was perfect, tasted good and was good to start off the meal. The half duck with the toppings was so delicious! The duck was perfectly cooked and the skin was crunchy and tasted great! The stir fried green beans were perfection, and the spicy & crispy chicken was amazing but definitely had a kick to them! Everything we got was fantastic and would get it all again. The service was great and easy to get a hold of staff with the button on the table. The ambiance was lively and nice. Everything was clean and the tables weren't super close to one another which I appreciate. 10/10 for everything...will be back soon! read more

We didn't try the duck, maybe next time. The other Chinese food was top-notch very delicious!

Since Tian Tian moved to Austin, there are a few peking duck places popping up in plano. I havent tried lu lu modern yet but their duck looks bigger than this place. I ordered half a peking duck, described for 3 on their menu. That fed one person. It was not enough, unsure if they didnt give me half because it looked a lot less than half. Maybe it can feed three if you ordered other food but thats misleading. Service was also slow, I called to go order and they said it would be ready in 10-15 mins, I waited for 25 mins. Half a duck came with soup, scallion, duck sauce, pancakes, and cucumbers for $34. Update: looking at other pictures of half duck. I know for sure they did not give me half a duck. I had five pieces of meat. I reached out to them on instagram and they asked me to come back so they'll cut half a duck in front of me to prove they didn't rip me off. First of all, don't gaslight me. You gave me less on Friday judging by what other people got. If I come in, you'll just cut an actual half a duck and make me pay for it again then I can't say you gave me less before. It doesn't prove that you didn't give me less before. Update after the business owner rude respond. Between the two of us, the one insulting is you the business owner. You need to learn how to customer service. Let me stoop to your level and treat you the same way you treat your customers. If you're able to count right, skin does not count as meat. If you can read and comprehend right I clearly said you offered me to come back so you'll actually carve half a duck in front of me. Thank you for proving that you're slow. Let me repeat myself since you didnt comprehend the first time. Me coming in again doesn't prove that you didn't give me half a duck before. I went to Lu Lu modern and we got two plates full of meat when we ordered a full duck. You did not give me half a duck, stingy! Judging by other pictures from other people, you did not give me half duck. Stop arguing with me and go focus on serving your customers. Focus your energy on running your business better bc you suck at it. Maybe go read a book so you can read and comprehend read more

Wow! Maybe our new favorite place for Peking duck and Xiao long bao!! First, it's a new place so everything was nice and clean. The staff was mostly attentive and you have a button at the table if you need to call anyone. The food was all excellent! + Peking duck was nice and crispy with thin pancakes + Xialong bao were packed with meat and soup + Potstickers were plump and juicy too + Green beans were good = Eggplant noodles but were a little heavy on the 5 spice = Woodear mushrooms were a bit spicy Overall, highly recommend! read more

We came here for lunch on a Sunday and waited 45 minutes. Service was okay, everyone was really nice but they need more servers. I had to get bowls, to-go containers and bags on my own because they were taking too long. The food was really good though! We ordered the whole duck, bok choy with mushrooms, pork xiao long bao, spicy and crispy chicken, chicken fried rice, and the spicy braised beef noodle soup. The fried rice and the duck were my favorite. Parking is easy, kiosks inside for to-go orders but I don't believe you can order the duck to-go. Definitely will return. read more

I've been meaning to stop by this place for quite some time! We decided to drop by on a Friday evening. The restaurant is pretty large and has 2 dining areas. By the time we were leaving (around 6:45 PM), both areas were pretty full. Service was quick and friendly. I loved that there is a button on the table to request your server! It makes things so much quicker and convenient. The food was good! My husband and I ordered the half duck (comes with complimentary duck soup), pork soup dumplings, and string beans with minced pork (comes with 1 bowl of rice). Overall, we liked every dish. The soup dumplings were really good. The duck was okay, but it was a bit too fatty for me personally and did not have as much flavor as I'd like! The thin wraps (pancakes) stuck together, and I wasn't sure if it was because it wasn't fresh or if it wasn't prepared properly. The duck soup was fine, but because the duck itself didn't have a ton of flavor, I felt the soup fell flat. We both enjoyed the minced pork and string beans. Overall, pretty good for their soft opening! read more

We came here (party of 2) at 5pm on a Sunday. We were very excited since we loved Bamboo House, which is what Duck & Dumpling took over. Service was quick and polite, no complaints there. However we sadly were disappointed with the food. The duck was okay taste wise, but some texture issues - much too fatty, skin not crispy enough, and definitely skimped on the portion side. Previously we could order the half duck with surplus meat so we'd (happily) order more pancakes. Today the duck amount was visibly smaller than before, and we ran out of meat quickly. We also ordered the shrimp and pork wonton soup (not pictured) and the pan fried soup dumpling. The "soup" tasted like boiled water with a dash of soy sauce, and the wontons themselves strangely tasted like nothing, definitely some of the worst wontons we've had. The pan fried bao made up for the previous dishes. These were crispy on the bottom and had plentiful soup inside, so I enjoyed them. Overall this was a 3/10 experience if you're familiar with peking duck. so we sadly will be looking for another spot that offers the taste we're looking for. read more

This is just Bamboo House rebranded. Their domain name is still the same. I don't know what happened with their duck, but it's the worst one I've ever had. The color is completely off and this weird pale yellow shade. The skin wasn't crispy and it was really oily. The portion was also smaller. We've gotten the full order of the Peking Duck a few times and always had plenty leftover. Now with the name change, we barely had any leftover. You're also limited to half a duck if 3 people and under according to the blurb on their menu. The bok choy and mushrooms is not worth it. The mushrooms are completely different from before (whole vs now sliced) and the bok choy had thick chunks of the stem still on it. They also push their membership on you that's supposedly free. When paying, they make you do it on the tablet as they hold it so you get to awkwardly select a tip as they watch. Waste of money and definitely not coming back. read more

This is the resturant that took over Bamboo House in Plano and they offer a range of Peking duck, a few stir fried dishes, hand pulled noodles, and dumplings. We were greeted and seated fast despite it being a Saturday which was nice. The menu is simple with more focus on the duck and dumplings. The food was all good, we had the crispy chicken, pork and shrimp spicy dumplings, Dan Dan noodles, and egg and tomato hand pulled noodles as well as the whole Peking duck. All of the dishes came out really fast with the exception of the duck which came out last but it was worth the wait. I loved that they sliced the duck and had them on warmers plus they were served with pancakes. Overall my family and I had an enjoyable experience. If I'm in the area and craving Peking duck I would swing by to satiate the craving. read more

The food was incredible, cheaper and fresher than anything in the Tarrant County side of DFW. Their lemon tea was amazing. Service was a bit slow and there was a wait prior to seating (although they didn't look busy), but you can clearly see the aunties in the back handrolling dumplings. This is going to be a regular one our rotation. read more

They're currently in soft opening but all the food was great! We tried the duck and several dumplings and everything was actually really good! The duck skin was crispy and the meat was tender. It came with some rice paper wrap, which was plenty. Everything was flavorful and delicious! We even got the chocolate XLB, which was sweet and tasty. We went on a Monday night, and it wasn't too busy. read more

The food was decent, the service was alright. Jovic the young boy in the front was nice and sweet. He provided good service which I appreciated, everyone else was just yelling on the floor. They ran out of a lot of items like the Peking duck which was the whole reason why we came. Instead they sat a group who came after us and they got the last order of duck while we were still being waited to be seated. Which that isn't right since they were two names down the list. I also saw that they reserved the rest of the duck for some of the staff to eat. I see that they care more about feeding themselves than making business successful. The shop had an hour before closing and all they cared about was eating first while we were waiting to close out our tabs and grab to go boxes. The new ownership/management needs to improve and set their staff priorities correct. The interior was well decorated and was pretty busy though there was a wait and plenty of tables not being used. We waited for about 30 minutes. read more

Delicious new restaurant that we tried on Christmas. The duck was juicy, the dumplings flavorful, and the tempo at which they brought the food out was perfect. We got to enjoy the dumplings, then duck, and then end with the soup so each dish had its own moment to shine. The small detail that we always love is that you order by pressing a button on your table. read more

1. Reserved table and didn't realise that they didn't take my number. End up I waited for 20 mins before my turn. I have to queue up again. 2. The Peking duck is so far the worst in Plano. Not that we have a lot of choice. For someone that has been to beijing numerous times , tasted most of the popular one in beijing , I clearly know what is considered a good one. I compared this with previous Tian tian and bamboo house. (Both is no longer in operation ) . This duck is still the worst along all. The skin is not crispy, the duck meat was not marinated enough , the dark sauce use is just not of the right taste. This is clearly an Americanized version. They even provide honey mastard to go along with the Peking roast duck. 3. The soup dumpling and pan fried dumpling is ok. Average or slightly above average. 4. The egg plant braised pork noodle is surprising nice. My personal favorite along all. The noodle seems to be hand pulled. Nice texture and springy. Just that the noodle is extremely oily. Good to share with 1 or 2 others. They offered 15% discount for Google or yelp review which I didn't take. As I hope they can improve on food quality. if not , they certainly cannot survive in this highly competitive market. read more

As a former Bamboo House fan, I was skeptical and a little nervous to try Duck & Dumpling after reading a few reviews and seeing the shortened menu. That said, I decided to go in with the idea that this is a new restaurant, and I was pleasantly surprised. I ordered based on their new namesake, a half duck, pork soup dumplings, and beef and onion potstickers. The duck was solid and tasty as usual. Portion felt pretty similar if not same as before. Beef and onion potstickers were a surprisingly good choice as well. But the soup dumplings (which I'd never ordered at Bamboo house) were actually pretty impressive. It's in the running for my favorite soup dumplings in Dallas for sure. Overall, everything I had was well executed and even impressive. The duck was the one thing I'd ordered before at bamboo house and it was consistent with my previous experiences (great!). Am I going to sorely miss the Sichuan classics and heaping portions? Oh yeah. But is this a really really good duck and dumpling place? Definitely yes. If you're looking for what Bamboo house was, go elsewhere (as will I). But I will definitely be back when I crave duck or soup dumplings :) read more

In my opinion, they could really use a host/hostess. Thru have a tablet at the host stand for you to join the waitlist but for those of us that is was our first time it was awkward trying to figure that out. The food was good, the Orange Chicken was over cooked but the sauce was good. The service we received was okay, our server never really checked on us but there did appear to be some kind of section sharing. Over all I will try them again as my dumplings were good but I will probably not go on a Saturday night as I am not sure they are staffed for how busy they are. read more

Food is good the service is not I have been to this place several times and I always love the food specifically the duck. But the service needs a lot of improvement. I ordered the duck and my wife ordered broccoli beef. She got her food and finished it and had to wait 15 minutes after that to get my duck. So we sat there taking turns looking at the other person eat. And the way they clean the tables is awful. The lady comes with a big cart with bins in it and starts dumping plates and cups it. It is almost as if she makes additional noise on purpose dumping used plates on top of each other. read more

The Peking duck here is outstanding. The duck meat was so tender and the skin was crispy and flavorful. We also got the eggplant and pork noodles which was very tasty as well. The service was great as well, the two young ladies were kind and attentive. Our crispy pork bites came out late so they gave it to us for free. I would say it is one of the most authentic Chinese restaurants in Plano. The interior design could use some work, it would be nicer with more comfortable seats and tables and prettier waiting area. But other than that, I highly recommend this place! read more

Came here for dinner and was pleasantly surprised by how good everything was. We ordered the Peking Duck, Soup Dumplings (Xiao Long Bao), and Dan Dan Noodles, and all three dishes were solid. The Peking duck was nicely roasted with crispy skin and flavorful meat. The soup dumplings had thin wrappers and plenty of soup inside -- very satisfying. The Dan Dan noodles had a good balance of spice and savory flavor, not too oily and not overly salty. Food came out fresh and hot, portions were reasonable, and service was friendly. The atmosphere is casual and comfortable, good for both family meals and small groups. Overall, a great spot if you're looking for classic Chinese dishes done well. Would definitely come back and try more items on the menu. read more

it was a lovely restaurant inside and the amazing thing is the food. It was fresh. It was delicious and there were dishes there that I had never eaten before lots of eggplant dishes, and there was one eggplant dish.

Finally was able to try this place out since it changed names/ownership. This restaurant used to be Bamboo House, one of my favorite spots to come to for Chinese cuisine. For the most part everything looks the same inside and out from before. Obviously staff is different, and the menu. They still use some of the same dishes with Bamboo House logo for the duck. The menu is significantly smaller than before; mainly offering just duck and dumplings. There are a few other dishes too. I really had some fan favorites I loved if you read my original post from Bamboo House; and am really sad they're gone. Service here is good. My friend and I came and ordered the half duck, passion fruit cucumbers, pork soup dumplings and the pork and shrimp spicy/sour dumplings. Cucumbers I did not like at all; basically it's a passion fruit sauce tossed in with the cucumbers. That combo was not a good one for me; too overly sweet with not a balance of salt. The pork soup dumplings were very good; broth was tasty as well as the filling. They however didn't bring the dumpling sauce with the onions. Unsure if they forgot, I also didn't ask because I just made my own with what was on the table. The spicy/sour pork and shrimp dumplings were interestingly good. I liked the spicy/sour sauce; it a had a pinch of the numbing peppers. Strong vinegar flavor; filling was great, overall good. My friend wasn't a fan of the boiled dumpling part. The duck was really good, just as good as I had remembered at the Bamboo House. So for the new name, the duck and dumplings are what to get. Overall everything was very tasty and I will be back for the duck and soup dumplings. read more

Every time we come back to the Dallas area there are always a delightful new array of restaurants to try! Seeing a place that specializes in just Peking duck we had to try it as part of our holiday festivities. The interior is nicely designed and the wait staff is very patient and courteous. Parking is also very easy as it's attached to a strip mall with other attractions to check out. As part of their soft opening they're offering 15% off entire orders with reviews of any rating. We order a whole duck for 4 people which was the right amount to share. The duck is brought out in halves. The skin was very crispy and the duck was carved very nicely as there were no bones in our servings. The duck broth soup was very light and you can tell the duck was carved as close to the bone as there really was no meat left on the bones in the soup, indicating a good bone stock. We did order another serving of pancakes which was an extra cost but I think it was worth it. One thing I do wish is the pancakes were easier to peel apart. A few of them tear in the process and you have to use two hands to peel which can be a hassle for thought who might be a little more impatient. read more

Minus one star for calculating tip post tax. (These vendors need to stop doing this) A meal costing just under $90 end up with about 25$ tip if one chooses 18%. Service staff was attentive and courteous but please let the customer to choose how much they really want to pay on tips. Not 28% worth of service. Minus one star for some of the food. This is our 3rd time coming here. Cucumber is with a weird sour and sweet sauce, not traditionalauthenticway of doing it. Pan fried soup bun supposed to be signature dish but this time was undercooked. Calamari is not what one would expect, very chewy and flavor less. Not recommended. The duck is okay, nothing extraordinary. And why the stingy portion of scallions. How much is that? 30 cents a bunch? The free duck bone soup this time tasted very salty. What's worth to order is beef soup noodle but the beef cubes were air dried. Didn't even bother to boil the beef in the soup. Plus the noodle is not that much. Overall experience is not as good as the first time. It has comes down. Less likely to return again. read more
