3 weeks agoI came here to eat many many times back then and it’s always fantastic. Came back yesterday Memorial Day and it was terrible. And I am not a picky person at all, but this need to be said. -Food was cold, lukewarm at best -Waitress was attentive yes but also talking all over the food cart and I can see spit particles flying down -They had food laying all over the table uncovered -The bill was not clear, but I didn’t want to complain and just paid and left.

2 months agoWas a little nervous to try this dimsum place but WOW! I came early because i know how crazy it can get. My family and I were seated immediately & food came out before we could bless the food! Our server Wei was fantastic, he was very attentive, professional & so kind to our table. We enjoyed the big portions & how great everything tasted. We’re definitely going to be back.

3 months agoMark's Duck House has been serving great Cantonese cuisine for decades. No frills atmosphere. The food is outstanding. When we went, the restaurant was packed though we didn't have to wait for a table. Enjoy!

Edited 5 months agoFood from what we ate was good. Enjoyed the veggies and the walnut shrimp dish. There's a somewhat random-feeling assortment of dim sum at the front of the restaurant (close enough to the door that it's cold in the area, so you know the food there is also cold and stale). We did not take any from there, although as we took a look, the staff told us we can order from the menu for fresh ones. Makes you wonder why that assortment is out in the first place then. The service is not attentive, which is standard for a Chinese restaurant, tbh The atmosphere is lacking; too-bright fluorescent-style lighting with limited decor. The space feels like it's half under renovation or something.

7 months agoThis is the BEST Dim Sum place in the DMV area we visited this place every other Saturday. Family owned and operated great authentic Dim Sum experience tasteful and a variety of offerings We absolutely love this place we recently moved from the area and have not found yet a Dim Sum place. Looking forward to come back. This place gets a lot of traffic particularly on Dim Sum days Saturday and Sunday. Friendly personel all were amazing to us can recall Elvis he took care of us the first time we visited did for the three years we lived in the area and John if not mistaken he is the owner and his beautiful family ,wife and daughter all working together to provide a great dining experience to their customers. The staff was the same from first visit to our latest that says a lot about the management and happy employees take great care of the customers. Big hug to all at Mark Duck House we can't wait to visit again. Highly recommend.

9 months agoMark’s Duck House is the kind of hole-in-the-wall that makes you want to call Guy Fieri and beg him to feature it on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. From the outside, it looks unassuming — but inside, it’s pure magic. This is Hong Kong dim sum done right, and once you know about it, you’ll wonder why you didn’t come sooner. The steamed oyster is our must-order every single visit. And when I say oyster, I mean massive — over 12 inches of briny, buttery perfection, steamed with ginger, scallions, and just a drizzle of soy. One bite and you’ll swear you’ve ascended. Dim sum here is hand-made, fresh, and authentic. The har gow have that perfect translucent wrapper, the shrimp & crab balls are light yet decadent, and the octopus with black pepper delivers just the right punch. Snow pea leaves sautéed with garlic are a masterclass in simplicity, and the crispy sea bass? So good it left us joking that mama needed to be slapped. (Apologies to mama.) What I love most is how unpretentious it all is. No gimmicks, no shortcuts — just classic dishes done exceptionally well. This is the kind of place that reminds you what dim sum is supposed to taste like. Pro tip: Come on weekends between 10 AM and 1 PM when the carts are rolling. It’s busy — yes, you’ll wait — but the energy, the variety, and the sheer joy of watching those carts circle the room makes it 100% worth it. Do not judge by its cover. This is the real deal, and I hope Mark’s Duck House stays in business forever.

a year agoWe have enjoyed dining here on several occasions. While it may not be the best Cantonese-style cuisine we've encountered, we have consistently found it to be a satisfying experience. During our most recent visit for dim sum, we were pleased to see that each dish was freshly prepared and served warm, and the staff was prompt in bringing out the food. We have had varied experiences at other dim sum establishments, where service could be improved, and food was sometimes served cold. Overall, our experience here has been quite positive.
