Reviews
The menu has a fairly large selection, offering both classic Chinese dishes and more adventurous options like the mini octopus in jalapeño sauce.
For appetizers, we ordered the duck soup, shrimp shumai, and the octopus. For our main dishes, we had the smoked ribs, signature lo mein, and flat noodles. Everything was delicious, and we’re already planning to come back.
The total for our meal was about $100, which is a great value for four people.
The Peking Duck was okay. It did not have a lot of flavor, very watery. Wish it had a bit of salt. Skin was crispy and meat was tender. Their plum sauce taste odd, I would’ve prefer hoisin at this point. We opted for the steam buns instead of pancakes. Half order was enough for two people in my opinion.
I did not like their spicy garlic edamame. It was coated in a thick sweet sauce while I was expecting something more savory.
Our server was really attentive ( wish I remembered his name )
Had the Hot Sour soup which I can say now is a must
Had the Chopped peppers little Octopus ( warning spicy reeeally spicy I did use some of the cheese to cut the spice which i really liked ), Cheese puffs were ordered ( because who doesn’t love cheese puffs? ) Garlic spicy Edamame ( they were different i couldn’t place the taste ) and the pork soup Duplings , which were great
Told they make all their Duplings in house every 2hrs ( I really wanted to see it but sadly .. no )
Convenient location and plenty of parking off Memorial Dr , have to come back and try the Duck ( only reason we didn’t try it this time was because we had it last week )
My husband and I decided to try Duck n Bào after finding them on a Google search for the best Chinese spots in Houston.
This location is small, cozy and had moderate to low noise. The customer service was good bc we had an attentive waitress.
The food wasn’t bad. I enjoyed the crispy chicken rolls & my flaming jumbo shrimp dish, but the beef fried rice that my husband ordered was more gummy/mushy than fried. He ate it, but indicated he wouldn’t be rushing back for it.
Pricing was somewhat reasonable, though my shrimp dish was a little pricey ($22) for 7-8 shrimp with veggies.
I may give it another try, but it definitely looks like we’re still in search of another spot similar to or better than our former fave.
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.
Tried the Crispy Spicy Chicken this time, and while it had good spice, the chicken pieces could be bigger, it felt mostly like crispy batter.
I’ve had great service here before, but this time it was just okay. The music was also too loud. That’s why I’m giving 4 stars for service and atmosphere today, but the clean space, nice interior, and well-presented food keep me coming back!
Duck n Bao is the place to be in Houston! From the moment you walk in, the vibe is electric—this is where culinary excellence meets a fun and welcoming atmosphere. Their dumplings are hands down the best in town, crafted with precision and packed with authentic, mouthwatering flavors. The Beijing Duck? Simply perfection—crispy, flavorful, and served to impress.
The menu is a treasure trove of delicious dishes, each one showcasing authentic Chinese cuisine at its finest. And let’s not forget their full bar service, adding an extra touch of fun with expertly mixed cocktails to complement the amazing food.
This is more than just dining; it’s an experience. The elegant decor, top-notch service, and lively atmosphere make Duck n Bao a must-visit destination. Whether you’re a foodie or just out for a great time, this spot delivers on all fronts.
