Duck n Bao is one of the chinese restaurants listed in Houston, Texas. The business is registered at 5215 Kelvin Dr, Houston, TX 77005; use this page to check its hours, phone number and Google rating before you make the trip. Besides its main category, the business also describes itself as dim sum restaurant, sichuan restaurant, so it may cover more than the name suggests.

In cities with a Chinatown, weekend mornings bring dim sum carts or order sheets, and lines form early at the most popular spots in Houston; walk-ins are standard and reservations are uncommon outside large banquet restaurants. Regional labels matter: Cantonese, Sichuan, Hunan, Shanghainese and Taiwanese kitchens cook very differently, so a restaurant's stated region is a better guide to the food than the word "Chinese" alone. Some smaller restaurants in Texas are BYOB with no corkage fee; call ahead to confirm. A tip of 15-20% is customary for table service but not expected at counter-order takeout. Spice level, MSG and allergen questions are normal to ask before ordering, and most kitchens are happy to leave an ingredient out or tone down the heat if you mention it when ordering rather than after the food arrives.

The business lists hours on 7 days of the week. On most of those days it is open 11 am–9:30 pm. As with most places, expect changes around holidays; the phone number below is the fastest way to confirm. The listed phone number is (346) 571-3607. Many businesses also reply to text messages on the same number if it is a cell phone. More information is available on its website, ducknbao.com.

On Google it holds a rating of 4.6 out of 5 from 446 reviews, which is a strong result for a chinese restaurant in Houston and suggests consistent service.

Houston is in Texas, in the South, where summers are hot and humid, winters are short, and severe storms in spring are a fact of life; businesses run air conditioning most of the year and many open early to beat the heat. US addresses list the street number and name, then the city, state abbreviation and ZIP code, and Houston follows the same pattern; a suite or apartment number such as Ste 200 refers to a unit inside the building. The map link on this page shows the exact spot.

Really good shao luum bao, and peking duck. Dandan noodles were also great. We normally go to onedragon for dumplings, but this was close today. Recommended

The scallion pancakes were quite average and did not stand out in any way. Unfortunately, the soup dumplings were disappointing—each one lacked the signature broth and tore easily when lifted from the steamer. The green beans had a pleasant garlic flavor, but they were overly salty. The stir-fried flat rice noodles with beef were particularly underwhelming; the dish was dominated by a one-dimensional soy sauce taste, lacking depth and the expected wok hei. They did not remove dirty dishes and wouldn’t refresh plates between appetizers and main dinner. They also didn’t notice water was empty and needed refill. Overall, the meal and service did not meet expectations.

I'd recommend to eat outside, if the weather permits. I got the Wagyu bao, garlic spicy endamame, and chicken roll. Everything was enjoyable, my server was attentive and sweet. Definitely coming back to try their dumplings.

Solid place to grab a bite. My cocktail and Dan Dan noodles were good. The portion sizes of the food was not huge, which for me was a good thing. I couldn't take any leftovers with me. The patio was a nice space. Our waitress was also nice. Overall it was a nice experience and no complaints.

Tried this place after I worked up an appetite at Little Woodrow's waiting for my wife to do some shopping in the area. We shared the soup dumplings and she had the Lo Mein and myself the 3 Pepper Chicken. Everything was delicious. The 3 Pepper Chicken was very fragrant and after adding a dash of soy sauce perfectly seasoned. I really like the chili oil for the extra kick! The waitress was very welcoming and attentive. Will definitely be back another time to try the duck. Highly recommend this place.
