Duck n Bao

“ Place is definitely one to try. First time we went to the restaurant and all was good, service, food. Tonight we did take out and was just as good. ”

“ Got delivery from Duck n Bao for our first time and we did not regret! Duck n Bao has more on offer than your typical joint - Dan Dan noodles, scallion pancakes, Bao, soup dumplings, and so much more. We ordered their combo lo mein, orange chicken, hot oil wontons, pork fried dumplings, and Dan Dan noodles. We would have tried much more, like their beef or pork mains, as well as some bao and soup dumplings, but the total for this was already at $80 for the two of us and we just couldn't justify more than that. Their lo mein is the best I have tried, probably ever. It was super flavorful with the right noodle texture and plenty of meat morsels. Their orange chicken, while it was okay for delivery, ended up soggy. I know it was flavorful, so I blame it on the delivery container steaming everything along the way - I'm sure it's crispy in-house and I'm so grateful for the veggies mixed in. I have not had hot oil wontons or even seen it on a menu in a very long time so I was over the moon to see these, and they blew away my expectations. So good! This one is a must try, and so are their pan-fried pork dumplings. Perfectly fried and flavorful, everything you're looking for in a dumpling. The main reason I ordered from here ended up being this meal's biggest disappointment - Dan Dan noodles. I found Duck n Bao by searching for Dan Dan noodles and when I saw all the other things they had on offer, I knew this would be the first place I would try. Unfortunately, most of the noodles are plain and stick together because they put all the sauce on the bottom, which isn't enough, and by the time it gets to you, it's hard to toss the noodles in the sauce because they've congealed together. The meat was hardly seasoned. What I did end up doing was finishing up the hot oil wontons and then tossing the Dan Dan noodles in that liquid - totally saved it. Unfortunately, I won't order them again unless I also get the hot oil wontons to elevate them. Without a doubt not worth $10. Overall, very good option for delivery, but not completely blown away. I'll be ordering again, though! ”

“ The service was a touch slow even to take our drink orders or give us menus, but not terrible. The food was unique and flavorful with good presentation, and as a garlic-lover, I went nuts for that cucumber salad. I had the House Special Dry Pot with Chicken and Veggies, with was incredibly aromatic -- spice sensation, very interesting (occasionally veering towards a "perfumey" quality). My parents split the honey walnut shrimp, which has an interestingly honey mustard quality to it, that kind of sweet tanginess. Very creamy and rich. I can't recall what my fiancé ordered other than it was a lot spicier than we expected. That said, my fiancé said the men's restroom was...under-cleaned... when he went in, which is certainly at odds with the chic style of the dining area, which rather colors my overall impression. Maybe it was a bad...week/month for them. ”

“ As a Cypress native, I honestly have pretty low expectations for Asian food establishments in the area. However, Duck n Bao was not too bad. I would say, my first impression wasn't that good as we were hit with a cleaning solution smell right when we walked in and the menus were sticky. Luckily, the food was better than the initial impression. We ordered the Pork Soup Dumplings, Stir-Fried Rice Noodles w/ Beef, Tea Leaf Smoked Pork Ribs, and Stir Fried String Beans. All of which were solid options. My personal favorite was the string beans. It was thoroughly seasoned with the perfect amount of crunch. I would definitely come back for these. Service was good, we were checked in on quite frequently and got everything we needed. ”

“ This food was absolutely amazing and I only tried two things!!! I ordered the Pan Fried Pork Dumplings and Stir Fried String Beans. The dumplings had a nice flavor, they were meaty, the texture was good and I enjoyed the dipping sauce. The stir fried string beans were 10/10 divine!! The aromatic flavors of the onion, garlic, and spices made the dish taste so good. They were tender but also had a good crunch to them. The portion size was good too. Anyone thinking about these should try them, they're addicting. My only complaint is that for the price I wish the string beans came with white rice. I will definitely be returning and can't wait to try other menu items! ”
