The third location of Peking duck and dim sum concept Duck N Bao is now open in Rice Village, according to a May 28 news release from the restaurant.

The details

The 2,600-square-foot restaurant has a dining room and patio and is influenced by modern Chinese design. It seats 100 guests inside and an additional 22 on the patio.

The opening comes a year after husband and wife team Grace and Leo Xia debuted Hongdae 33, an all-you-can-eat Korean barbecue spot, in Houston's Asiatown.

The menu

The Xia's both draw from their own culinary backgrounds in creating the Duck N Bao menu, according to the release. Popular items include the crispy-skinned, Peking-style lacquered duck and soup dumplings, a range of dim sum, and Sichuan dishes prepared from scratch.

New menu items and upgrades have been added for the newest restaurant, including:

Triple-cooked short ribs
Duck fried rice
Stir fried salt-and-pepper or XO sauce lobster tails
Black truffle soup dumplings
Octopus salad tossed with green pepper sauce
Sichuan-style, rice-battered beef shank

In addition, Grace Xia developed a cocktail menu for Duck N Bao's bar program. Many of their signature cocktails showcase the Chinese spirit baijiu.
