" Duck House certainly lives up to its reputation! The duck was beautifully prepared, and I enjoyed the authentic way of eating it with the accompaniments. Along with the duck, we had their spicy eggplant and fried shrimp which were also top-notch. However, the atmosphere could use a little more warmth. The staff was responsive but not overly friendly, which was a slight letdown. Still, the quality of the food makes it worth a visit, especially for those looking for genuine Chinese cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)

" Duck House offers a fantastic experience! The Peking duck is a delight, possibly the best I've had. Crispy skin, succulent meat—the whole package! We also had the spicy tofu, which was surprisingly delicious. The only minor complaint would be that the portions of the side dishes could be larger for sharing. The atmosphere was lively, offering a good family environment but can get chaotic during peak hours. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been going to Duck House for years and it's always a treat! The Peking duck remains the star of the menu, so it's a must-have. The skin has the right amount of crunch, and when wrapped in pancakes, it’s simply divine. I also typically order the lobster and fried rice which never disappoints. Service can vary, but I've had more positive experiences than negative ones. The restaurant does tend to get packed, so make sure to reserve your spot beforehand to avoid long waits. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high expectations for Duck House, and while it is great for a special occasion, it wasn't everything I hoped for. The Peking duck was delicious, but I found the rest of the meal quite average compared to the hype. The service was decent, but I felt rushed throughout the meal. It was mostly crowded, which made it hard to enjoy the atmosphere. I guess it's better for larger groups, but I prefer quieter dining experiences. " (*Curated Review*)

" Duck House was fantastic! Everything from the duck to the side dishes was delicious. The service was attentive, though I did notice they seemed slightly pressed at busy times. The ambiance was comfortable and welcoming. I'm definitely planning to come back with friends instead of just family next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was a bit wary before coming, especially with mixed reviews, but Duck House exceeded my expectations! The duck was fresh and the skin just right. The portions were decent, and I appreciated the care in preparing the dish. The atmosphere felt casual yet nice, making it inviting for groups. I even had a chance to taste the fried rice, which was delightful. I would definitely come back. " (*Curated Review*)

" My family and I celebrated a birthday at Duck House, and we couldn't have been happier. They truly know how to make Peking duck! The skin was crispy, and they even showed us the authentic way to wrap and eat it. The staff were kind and attentive, but the restaurant was pretty busy, which made it a bit chaotic at times. However, the food made up for it! I will be back for sure. " (*Curated Review*)
