Portions were small even by normal small plates standards. Generally decent food but nothing really outstanding. The duck wings were probably the highlight, but even so $10 for 4 wings is a bit much.

Fabulous small plates. The wagyu sliders, duck wontons, chicken karaage, and tempura shrimp were our favorite, but everything was good. Plus, a nice whiskey selection.For bonus points, there is a “Chicago Handshake “ available for $7.

Lucky Duck has some amazing food for the price. Highly recommend three of the dumplings for a single serving.

Absolutely amazing food! Unique flavors very good drinks! Appetizers are delicious and the buns are amazing. I’ve tried them all and wish i had gotten seconds on them all. Definitely a must try if you’re in Lake forest.

The appetizers and desserts were ok but the main courses were phenomenal.
My new favorite place to go in Lake Forest where you feel like you have left Lake Forest. Brilliant concept, flawless dishes and drinks with character. Attentive service too -- you will not walk away hungry.

We took the 90+ minute ride (on 6/02/22) after reading the reviews of the Lucky Duck restaurant. We like trying new places (no matter how far the drive) especially because the comments were so good in the reviews. In fact, while we waited 3 other couples tried the locked door well after the opening time as stated on the website. The Lucky Duck windows were covered and no one showed up.

This is by far one of the best restaurants I have been to in the area. All of the food is beautiful and tastes delicious. Every single dish had amazing flavor combinations. We are definitely coming back again to try the rest of the menu!

Amazing! Every dish! Brussel sprouts. Lamb chops. Shrimp tempura. Teriyaki beef bun. Everything was incredible. Everyone needs to find this gem. BUT. It’s really small. Be prepared to wait but worth it.
Excellent meal in a casual setting
