Message from Duck & Dumpling
Fine dining meets Chinese and Vietnamese home cooking at The Duck & Dumpling in downtown Raleigh, where Chef David Mao creates Asian bistro fare in this urban contemporary restaurant. Raised by Chinese parents in Vietnam, which was then a French colony, Chef David blends the three culinary cultures of his heritage as the manager and executive chef at The Duck & Dumpling. From what used to be a furniture store in the 1930s, the restaurant's interior lighting casts a red glow onto historic Moore Square, welcoming guests inside to enjoy a varied pan-Asian menu. Chef David's flavorful specialties include handmade half-fried dumplings, edamame hummus, filet mignon chinois and poached sea scallops. The sophisticated menu is priced for everyday dining, whether for lunch or dinner, in the restaurant or in the mirrored mahogany bar area.
