| - Went here last night for a birthday dinner, so we had a group of about 11. Given the name, there was a certain level of expectation for the duck. We had ordered 2 and what came looked closer to 1. For each one, it came with a little tower which had all of the toppings and heated wrappers. There was a small plate of skins to accompany and the other plate was the duck meat.
Never mind the lack of meaty morsels on tap here, 2 things stood out. Grapes (why?)...and NO lettuce wrappers! The slices of meat were just too small and thin. There was still some flavour here but just not what I was hoping for.
We also ordered a number of side dishes: meatballs, spicy tofu, fried rice, dumplings, ribs, soup and frog legs. These were alright, the tofu and ribs being the standouts for me. The dumplings however didn't cut it.
When it was all said and done, we split at about $28 per person. Fairly reasonable, however we were left wanting more. More duck!
The waiter was nice enough and no real negatives in terms of service however I don't think I'll be returning for the food.
