Chen’s Duck & Dumplings is a restaurant in Lakeland, Florida. It is listed at 5125 Florida Ave S, Lakeland, FL 33813, which places it among the local businesses of Lakeland that residents and visitors turn to when they need this kind of service close by.

This group covers the non-Asian restaurants, cafes, bars and food businesses that also appear in a mixed-cuisine food scene, including American diners, pizza, Mexican food, burgers, steakhouses and bakeries. Standard US restaurant norms apply: lunch and dinner service with a quieter stretch between, cards and tap-to-pay accepted almost everywhere, and a tip of 15-20% customary for table service. Fast food and quick-service counters expect payment up front and tipping is optional. Bars check ID for anyone who looks under 30, and the drinking age is 21 nationwide. Many restaurants in this group take reservations online through third-party platforms, while casual and fast-food spots are walk-in only. Sales tax is added at the register on top of the menu price and varies by city and state, so the final total is usually a few percent higher than the posted prices suggest.

This restaurant is absolutely amazing! The food was excellent the service was excellent and the atmosphere was fantastic. I had a friend in my party who is a linguist and has spent some time overseas and even she was impressed. If you want authentic Chinese food I recommend this place. The beef soup was very authentic and the soup dumplings were to die for. Absolutely the best food and the best service. They will exceed all of your expectations. Thank you Chens duck and dumplings. We came back 3 days later, it was that impressive!

Thank you LILIAN! Kind and tender waitress, Good food, lovely ambiance, busy feeling but controlled. Come here for a step up from chinese take out! To start, My waitress Lillian was amazing. She took time to explain the whole menu, discuss preferences and checked in many times. She brought out our food so quickly and presented them with care. The food started to come out surprisingly fast. Entering the restaurant, there are nice hostesses and decor. We were seated promptly to a clean and pleasant environment. I really love the china ceramic. The extra details add on to the food and are surprising, given low cost of food. This experience is a good value and I’ll be back to try the duck. There is only one duck item and it is half or whole duck with pancakes! The complimentary starters are fermented radish and carrot which i surprisingly enjoyed very well. Also, peanuts were offered. THE FOOD: POPCORN chicken 7/10. Good but average size and flavor. Typical but fresh tasting and thin crusted. May be full breast meat. SPARE RIB 9/10: very tasty, classic dish, recommend. LANGZHOU soup 8/10: tastes clean and pleasant. Could use more flavor so i added chili oil! Steamed BUNS 8.5/10: a

Came here for a late Mother’s Day meal with my mom and grandmother since they were fully booked yesterday, and the food was amazing. I usually never write reviews but this place was too good for me to not write one. The soup dumplings were the best I have had in a while. The one’s I have had in the past in other restaurants usually don’t have enough soup or the skin is too rubbery, but they made it genuinely perfect. I had the crab/pork soup dumplings and the black truffle soup dumplings and they were sooo good. So much soup and everything was so flavorful (I love truffle so I suggest the truffle soup dumplings) The Peking duck was the main course, and it did not disappoint. I went to Beijing 2 years ago and the Peking duck they have here is exactly the same as the one I had when I went on my family trip. And for extra bonus the service was amazing! The restaurant just opened so they were busy, but the manager Kimmy went out of her way to personally serve us since they were short staffed. Everything came out timely. I highly suggest eating here! If you never had a Peking duck or soup dumplings, you have to try it here, it’s the best you’ll get in all of Florida.
