I didn't understand why this place was empty on a Friday night until I tried the food.
My journey with Duckee started last week when I found them on just-eat.ca; however, I ended up skipping my order because I couldn't remember my username and/or password. The next day, SURPRISE! Their menu was delivered through my door (you can see they are attempting a major marketing initiative right now). Today, as I was in the area for my doctor's appointment I gave in to the temptation.
The restaurant is very quaint with a good amount of comfortable seating and a varied menu. Unfortunately, that's the end of the positives.
I brought the food home and it was almost inedible! The vegetables were soggy and tasteless. The chicken was dry and chewy which is surprising as it was drowning in an overly sweet teriyaki sauce. The accompanying rice wasn't bad but it wasn't great.
For all the businesses along Eglinton that have been forced to close while the LRT/subway was being installed, I'll give them credit, this one survived. However, considering no one was there on a Friday night and it didn't appear as they were overflowing with take out/delivery orders I'll guess I'm not the only one to have had a negative experience.
But considering I hate giving any family business a one star review. I wish them the best and hope things pick up. I, on the other hand, will not be returning.
