March 22--Stephanie Izard's long-awaited Chinese restaurant, Duck Duck Goat (857 W. Fulton Market), will open its doors on Thursday.
Online reservations are now live at opentable.com.
Izard's menu is a complilation of inspirations from her travels throughout China and includes hand-pulled noodles, made-to-order soup dumplings and such signatures as goat-belly lo mein, Peking duck, and Izard's takes on crab rangoon and chicken chow fun.
Playful "fortunes" will accompany fresh-baked cookies at meal's end.
The market district space is divided into several rooms, each with unique decor and each with views of the kitchen action. Goat figures in gold and jade tones will be placed strategically among the dining areas.
