My family and I absolutely love this retaurant, whether we're popping in for a bite or ordering take out. Some of our favorites are the chicken soup dumplings and minced duck lettuce wraps. We are so glad to have such a good spot within a couple minutes drive of our home.

Chicken extremely salty. Dumplings Not made in-house. Very overpriced

I'm still on the hunt for a great Asian restaurant, since my go-to spot permanently closed a few months ago. 🥹
My husband and I decided to try Duck n BÃ o 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.

Disappointed with their Peking duck and xiao long bao.
Xiao long bao The skin of the xiao long bao is too thick. The texture tastes like steamed buns with yeast in the flour mixture. Xiao long bao’s skin should be paper thin.
Issues with their Peking duck: 1. Skin not crispy and too small. They should cut the duck skin into larger rectangles. 2. The duck wasn’t cut properly. The skin and meat should be cut and served separately. They could’ve cooked another dish with the duck meat. 3. Their line cooks do not have the basic knife skills to cut cucumbers into perfect juliennes. The cucumber strips are jagged, irregular, and have different shapes and widths. 4. The chefs at the window are Mexicans, not Chinese, which reflect in their food.
I had high hope on them after reading reviews and recommendations online. While their food is not bad and I’ll eat it, it’s nowhere nearly as good as their rave reviews.

Duck and xioa long bao were fantastic bang bang chicken was not really my fave
Katherine was so helpful and attentive. We are regulars here and felt appreciated as always. She greeted us with a warm welcome and checked on us periodically to make sure we had everything we needed, but not too overwhelming. The food, as always, was top-notch, and we were happy to meet Katherine who was so professional.

Have been a few times and had excellent dishes and some disappointing ones. Favorites are the crispy spicy chicken, Peking duck, and all the dumplings. The wontons and noodles were not my favorite.

Duck n Bao – The Hottest Spot in Houston! A Must-Visit Experience
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.
If you haven’t been yet, put Duck n Bao at the top of your list. It’s the hottest place in Houston, and once you try it, you’ll see why everyone is raving about it. I can’t wait to return for more!
