Duck House Chinese Restaurant

Bright and welcoming atmosphere, immediately upon being seated we were served a pot of tea which was absolutely delightful, and the shrimp and pork soup dumplings made a spectacular appetizer. When ordering the fried rice, we were asked how spicy we would like it and my friend did not want her spicy but I wanted mine to make me regret being born, so our server told us that he would be right back with a special pepper sauce, which is not the same pepper sauce that typically comes with the soup dumplings, although he did bring us that as well. No, this was specifically created to give the level of spice that I requested and oh my god it was DELICIOUS. The servings were huge so we needed to go boxes I poured that spicy pepper concoction directly onto the fried rice in my box and let me just say that it reheats BEAUTIFULLY. I WILL ABSOLUTELY BE COMING BACK.

It was a hot Sunday afternoon. We had just left the Rose Test Garden, and after meandering among the flowers for hours upon hours, we were in need of some quality sustenance. Duck House absolutely blew us away! The Szechuan Fried fish is the *best* item on the menu, crispy, spicy batter with moist and tender fish in the center. The Dan Dan noodles were like a comfort food meal grandma would make. The spicy garlic eggplant was succulent and the sauce was sweet and tangy, just to die for. The Lamb dry pot was served over a flame, still sizzling, all of the Szechuan spices playing elegantly with the lamb. Jason was a wonderful server, directing us toward the richest flavors they had to offer. He created a Szechuan spicy peppercorn margarita...the first margarita I willingly consumed. Don't sleep on this place!

We had a wonderful time here at Duck House! We ordered the chili wontons and they were absolutely incredible! We split the pork fried rice and Shrimp dry pot. Holy cow. Every bite of the shrimp dry pot was ecstasy, a fantastic balance of flavors. I wish we could have kept eating it forever. The chili wontons are so perfect, the chili oil is not super spicy, the wonton is light and perfectly cooked, the pork inside was tender and juicy. I can't wait to come back!
