Dining at Duc’s Bistro in Honolulu’s Chinatown is an unforgettable experience in casual elegance, delicious food, and warm hospitality... Let’s start with that hospitality, because that is what stands out above all else at Duc’s. Enter the front door, and the atmosphere is clean, modern and inviting, highlighted with tasteful pink ambient lighting and crisp white table clothes. Once seated, you will likely be greeted by Duc himself, who will make you feel so welcome that it is almost as if he has been waiting a very long time to meet you.
Love, love, love Duc's Bistro...Duc is a gracious host and the food is divine!
Thank you Monsieur Duc!. I have eaten at this fantastic restaurant several times and never took the time to review it. Now that I have moved off the island, it's time to pay back. This is my favorite restarant on the island and the food, atmosphere and welcome that we get from Monsieur Duc has been one of my favorite experiences. The food: Shrimp Curry, Lamb and all of the Duck, is amazing. The drinks are refreshing and delicious. I have, and will continue to recommend this restaurant to everyone who asks me that question: "Where should I eat in Honolulu?" Thanks for everything, particularly for always remembering us and always making us feel welcome. -Sean
Wonderful staff. Owner is incredibly nice and attentive. We had the experience and food of a lifetime here.
A great find. This Bistro has really accomplished something...a great atmosphere contrasting pastels and black and white photos of rice fields in Vietnam. Amazing food--the shredded green papaya salad is truly memorable, the lamb chops, the tofu...all of it, from start to finish was fantastic. If you're in a big group, let Duc order for you family-style (let him know how many vegetarians), and the meal just happens. You will be impressed with the food, so happy with the bill, and will love Hawaii even more when you leave...
Duc’s has been around since the early 90’s. It’s an upscale viet/French bistro and everything on menu is great. This little China town joint has survived the test of time. You can expect the namesake, Duc, to greet you at the table most nights. He’s a nice guy with great food. Definitely a great spot for a nice dinner.
You can not ask for better service. Duc makes you feel like you're eating in his home for dinner. Small menu and everything was cooked and presented to perfection. Nice mix of vietnamese and french that is hard to find this good. Great recommendation for the eggplant side, probably the best I've had. It's more of a family style sharing, so you can order a bunch of dishes and share.
My boyfriend and I had dinner here last night for the first time and it was great! I liked the decor and ambiance, service was amazing, and the food was delicious!
Started with the escargot and a ginger martini, both of which I would recommend! For dinner the fish (opakapaka) and lamb were recommended and that's what we had. Delicious! And although quite full, we got the tapioca and there wasn't a trace of it left when we were done.
I've lived here my whole life, no clue why its taken me so long to eat here, but very glad I finally did!
What a wonderful evening--from the simple and elegant interior, to the authentic delicious cuisine, Duc's Bistro delivers. Don't miss your opportunity...you must have reservations so call ahead as it may take a few days. They book up fast. The steamed fish of the day with fresh ginger was sublime. Fresh and perfectly cooked. Again reflecting the simple and elegant theme.
I grew up in hawaii but have had the chance to travel the world including spending a lot of time in France. Duc’s is as good as they come — perfectly executed French and Vietnamese food with a local home feel. 10/10 would recommend!
VERY IMPRESSED!!!🥰😊
We ordered 12+ dishes here and not even egatratinh slightly, impressed with every single one of them.
Not only the taste/flavor and quality of food is 5 star, also the service and the presentation is 5 star!
Lobster Bisque:
I am not easily impressed with lobster bisque but this one is subtle, light, and the chunks of lobster are perfect~!
The Vietnamese Coffee here is amazing! I would highly recommend the iced version
Must Try ALL 3 of these delightful desserts;
1. Affogato ( rich, fresh espresso over mildly flavored, perfectly paired gelato)
2. Creme Brulee (salted, caramelized top !)
3. Coconut & banana tapioca pudding (beautiful combination)
I was introduced to this restaurant by my friend Toan and I am so thankful he recommended it
Really looking forward to coming back to Ducks Bistro again~!
Duc’s is a family owned restaurant of 29 years. My fiancé and I had the pleasure of meeting and being served by the entire family during our dine in experience for my fiancés birthday. The family is just wonderful and the French-Vietnamese cuisine truly cannot be beat. The atmosphere is cozy and romantic. We will absolutely be returning in the future!
Very nice French Vietnamese restaurant in Chinatown Honolulu. Owned by a friendly and efficient couple. I had the lobster bisque, the steak Saigon and house Pinot Noir, all of which were very good. If you need a good place to escape Waikiki, this is a great choice.
Incredible food. Super personalized service. This is a hidden gem in an already packed food scene in Honolulu. Lovely staff who treated my large group to a divine culinary experience. Highly recommend!
Great meal/great service! An absolute treasure In Chinatown. Amazing food, incredible service, and a quaint setting.
The duck and lamb were sheer perfection!! And the desserts were super yummy.
Duc’s Bistro is incredible and I’ll keep coming back.
