Lucky Duck in Lake Forest offers a variety of small plates, with standout dishes including duck wings, wagyu sliders, duck wontons, and unique buns. The flavors are consistently praised as outstanding and unique. The restaurant also boasts a nice whiskey selection. Prices are noted as moderate to high, with $10 for 4 duck wings and $7 for the "Chicago Handshake" cocktail.
The restaurant's food skews more toward pan-Asian gastropub, with higher-than-average prices. The ambiance does not feel "fully baked" - it almost feels like an amateur black box theatre space. The restaurant needs to work out the service kinks, but the kitchen itself delivers exceptional food. Customers describe the wontons as almost like pierogi, with tremendous umami flavor, and the bao buns and lemongrass chili fries as terrific.
