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

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

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

I recently had a wonderful visit to Duck & Dumplings, and I was so impressed with both the food and the service. The staff were very attentive and friendly, and it made the whole experience feel worth the trip. The bao buns were soft and bursting with flavor, and the chicken and corn dumplings were perfectly cooked and packed with taste. The fried rice was just right and cooked to perfection, and the spicy wontons came with a broth that was absolutely out of this world. Overall, everything just came together for a delicious meal and experience. I'm really looking forward to coming back and trying the duck that's on the menu! read more

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

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

Great Peking duck!!! Skin was crispy with perfect sweetness. Pancakes were super thin (which is what you want). The duck could have been a little warmer. Server was very nice, and I loved that the menu explained how to eat it (in case you never had it). We 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

From the walk in to the cash out all was pretty good. Cold ice lemon water on the table was like reading my Mind. The service was great even during a bit of a rush.

Duck & Dumpling - Crabmeat rangoons, spring rolls, chicken fried rice and corn and chicken dumplings - Noodles Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

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

This is our second time here and it is soooo good! The duck, nice and juicy and crispy...the soup dumplings, piping hot! My only kinda complaint was the complimentary soup could have been hotter, but I still ate it, and I did not say anything. The water is yummy but had a slight aftertaste...again, I drank it and did not say anything. 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

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

I been looking for a place here in San Antonio that has decent soup dumplings for a long time. Well this place has the best in town that competes with my favorite from Austin which is Julie's noodle. They are house made and is the only place in San Antonio that has the flavor I'm use too and full of juice. Top place to go with great and quick service. It's pretty big but seems to be filled at all time. Might have to wait but it's worth it. Most dishes are family style or at least big enough to share. If only it was located in a premier spot in the city. Hopefully it gets the recognition it deserves. read more

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

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

This place was amazing! My friend and I had a great meal, this being our first time we follow with the recommendations of the server and we are so glad we did. We decided to do the roasted duck, and also the truffle dumplings. The service was very quick and we almost didn't stay because it was very crowded, however we were told it should not take that long and we are glad we waited. The service was very good and the ambience too, you could see families enjoying together. Next time I am in to town I would definitely stop by the duck & dumpling. 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

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

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

San Antonio really needed the restaurant for the Chinese community. This place can hold its own with some of the best truly. The duck was cooked perfectly, the soup was extremely flavorful.

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

So glad this place opened. The location is perfect for us as my gf loves dumplings and I love the spicy crispy chicken. Not every Chinese spot in town has it and the ones that do are on the other side of town. I will say this is a more authentic version of Chinese food and you won't find many of the Americanized Chinese options. The service was great and we were given great recommendations. All of the food was yummy and fresh. I came with a few friends for lunch and the food came out quick. Some of them had never tried some of these dishes and everyone had a great experience. The inside is bright, open, fresh, and clean. The AC works well. There are no TVs. A great place for large groups as there's a bunch of 4 person tables scattered around the big open room. Come give it a try, I'll definitely be coming back with more people! read more

Duck & Dumpling in San Antonio was such a great experience from start to finish. The restaurant was clean, the staff was genuinely friendly, and I really appreciated that the food came out as it was ready instead of all at once--it made everything feel fresh and intentional. The crab rangoons might honestly be the best I've had in San Antonio: perfectly crispy, creamy, and not greasy. The Peking duck was a whole experience for us--we'd never had it before, and it was absolutely worth it. Fun, flavorful, and memorable. We tried several dumplings, and while they were all good, the pork and scallion dumplings were hands-down our favorite. The green beans deserve a special mention too: a huge portion, cooked perfectly, and seriously delicious. Overall, everything we tried hit the mark. If you're looking for a place with great food, welcoming service, and something a little special, Duck & Dumpling is an easy recommendation. We'll definitely be back. read more

Duck heaven! If you are a Peking Duck fan, this is amazing. When you walk in you are almost surrounded by "duck ovens" meaning your order will be as fresh as possible. We visited in a whim and did not have the duck, but are certainly going to go back. We did not have the duck that evening, which I kind of regret,but have something to look forward to in the future. We did have an order of the steamed dumplings; mixed pork and vegetables which were like little clouds of savory heaven! I highly recommend to go with your order. We had the spicy chicken which was crunchy, flavorful and a huge order. The setting is a standard open style seating area, but the star is the food. Going back for the duck! read more

The food was amazing and tasteful. The half duck plus an order of soup dumplings was enough to share for 2 people. The half duck comes with a duck soup. The service was non existent. They came dropped off a water pitcher and really didn't come back during the meal and had to find someone to pay. If they would make this an experience or explain the menu and let you know what sauces came with the duck i feel like it would have made this a true one of a kind experience.

The peking duck and soup is really good. I thought the soup dumplings we're pretty good as well but not the best I have had. I also would recommend the green bean and spicy chicken if you have a larger group.

Was able to split half a duck with three of my friends and successfully sample a little bit of each of their dumplings! The duck was moist and not overly dry. The skin a little bit crispy and the pancakes were not too doughy and appropriately cooked and easy to separate to divvy it out amongst everyone. I do recommend using the dipping sauce as the duck itself isn't too salty or flavorful so the sauces definitely help add flavor! We got pork and scallion soup dumplings. There was adequate soup inside which was nice, but it was a bit overpriced per dumpling. So might skip that one in the future. The shrimp paste spicy and sour dumpling was yummy, and a bit more bang for your bucks. It's not too spicy or sour, so don't hesitate to try it. It was actually probably one of my favorites. On the other hand, my friends really liked the steamed pork buns! The beef & onion ones were pretty standard. Not too special. All in all though, the food satiated our cravings! read more

I always say this, and I think it's true. I'll give you 5-stars, but you really have to blow me away. That fifth star doesn't come easy. This place might as well be a hidden gem, even though it's really just an old, somewhat renovated taco cabana location at a busy intersection . So, ambiance isn't much, but the food makes up for it! Seriously, we would have missed it except for the little banner on the front of the joint. Walked in mid-late afternoon and what were seated right away. I don't mean to stereotype, truly, but one of the things I noticed first, was the number of Asian Americans in the joint. Which, again (possibly) stereotypically led me to immediately believe this joint must know what it's doing. And boy, YES IT DOES. My wife loves a good soup dumpling. She said they were some of the best she's had. I, too, thought they were excellent. Very large. Flavorful. Almost unmanageable for one bite, but we made do! Haha! We also had their pot stickers . Again - huge. Fantastic. Flavorful. We took some home. Then, we shared some teriyaki chicken. Oh my goodness! What a plate. Huge portion, and some of the best teriyaki chicken I've had in the whole city. Again, we took some home. I cannot say enough about this place. Huge, flavorful portions. You get - arguably - more bang for your buck than you'd be used to these days. You'll definitely leave with leftovers. It's almost shocking what we paid... I cannot wait to go back! I really want to try their duck; we walked past a table sharing that dish, and it looked like something featured on Food Network. Go try Duck and Dumpling! You'll want to go back too! read more
