Food: Lukewarm flavors, high-end prices

Exploring the menu at Ducks, the Cutlet Curry, Katsudon and Chicken Karage claim the spot of customer favorites. The dishes promise a delicious blend of texture and flavor that falls disappointingly flat. The overpriced meals left much to be desired with the inadequate portion sizes and lack of originality. Yet, the homemade curry evokes a sense of homely comfort, but fails to elevate the dining experience.

  • Okay Quality

    Homemade curry feels more homey than restaurant-like, offering comfort.

  • Small Portions

    Portions small compared to prices; customers left wanting more.

Vibe: Dreary ambiance, unimpressive locale

The restaurant prides itself with an ambiance that feels jarringly outdated and dingy – an unwelcome divergence from the fine dining experience promised. Forget enchanting evenings with your loved one, it'd be a struggle to maintain the romantic spark amidst the drab surroundings. The lackluster drinks only add insult to injury, and the remote plaza location doesn't do the reputation any favors.

  • Bad Ambiance

    Outdated, dingy, needs remodel, not eye catching and not restaurant material.

Perks: Lousy outdoor, slow paced service

The service quality at Ducks has its highs and lows, with overall inconsistency. Whilst accommodating for kids, the staff appears to drop the ball particularly during peak traffic time, resulting in slow service. The outdoor, with its dingy view, subtracts from the overall dining experience. Add crammed seating for group reservations to the mix, and you're left with an underwhelming night out.

  • Easy To Park

    Ample, free, and convenient parking often available in plaza lot.

  • Bad For Groups

    Small, busy space with potential long waits and cramped seating.
