It was a very pleasant experience. Very small menu but good choices. We've been looking for a good ramen place in birmingham for years now and this probably the best one so far. The place itself was small but comfortable and had relaxing music on. They said they change their menu from time to time so I will definitely go again to try their new ones.

We got here just after opening for the dinner menu. So glad they had room for us! The buns are amazing and the noodles are extremely tasty. Service is speedy and smiley and great value for money too. The buns are huge so don't over order and it's a cosy little place so booking ahead is probably a good idea if you are planning to come at a busy time (towards 7pm on Friday was getting a few more walk ins that had to be turned away). Extremely glad we came here

We tried all the veggie options and were really tasty. Don't miss out the buns and home-made deserts. Pleasant environment, excellent service and decent prices.

Probably the best noodles I've had in Birmingham. Sitting in between St Paul's Square and the Jewellery Quarter, the Lucky Duck has a simple menu centred on noodles and bao buns. The restaurant is really nicely done out and wonderfully relaxed with attentive and accommodating staff who looked after our (demanding) kids and adapted the dishes to suit them. The noodles were fresh, moorish and flavoursome. Will definitely go back.

Another restaurant I’ll add to my Birmingham favourites. This cosy Asian food inspired experience offers a sense of eating at home. The hostess was chatty, professional and attentive. Food was prepared with care, presented beautifully and cooked to perfection. You get a lot of bao for your buck. A great venue couples and small groups.

This is a great wee place with an intimate feel and relaxed atmosphere. The decor is very simple and tasteful and the choice of music was suited to a dark winter's evening. Service was great, the lady who served us was friendly and efficient. She made us feel welcome and was on the ball. We had the Pork Cheek Katsu and Korean Fried Chicken buns to start and the Ox Cheek Pho, Rare Beef, Beansprouts bowl. The buns were great, full of flavour and tender meat. The pork cheek was particularly good. The Pinot Noir wine was delicious. A good quality wine and good value at £4 per glass. My only negative would be the flavour of the broth in the bowl. It had a real distinct five spice flavour to it and lacked chilli heat/flavour. Almost too over powering. The addition of the accompanying chilli spice allows you to heat to your taste. It would have been nice if there were perhaps some more vegetables in the bowl. Overall we really liked it. The concept is great. We paid £40 for two buns, two bowls, two beers and two wines. Great value for an evening meal in a nice restaurant.

The staff are really friendly, I had the rare beef pho and it was super tasty. The only thing that kept this from being a 5 star review is: I ordered the large bowl for £10, my friend ordered the same dish, but the small bowl for £5. They came in the same bowl (not literally), except mine had about an inch and half more liquid, not really anymore noodles or beef. I’d have been happy with the meal at £5 - £6 but £10 was too much and I got nothing more for the money.

This place has huge potential. The bao buns are sublime and a must try. The only criticism I have is the mains are almost too subtle in flavour. The stock used for the soups needs to be stewed longer for deeper flavour and inspect more flavour from the pork. As I say though there's huge potential
