About this restaurant

Innovative
Good for groups
Great for creative cocktails

Mother Duck, is the latest project by Jonathan Morr, located in the lower east side of Manhattan. We are Open Now! Mother Duck is an Asian inspired fast casual restaurant focusing primarily on noodles and rice bowls, as well as a variety of appetizers to share. Six months in the making and with five chefs involved, an exciting, creative and innovative menu has been created. While the dishes have no pretense to authenticity, the ethnic antecedents of the menu are clear, taking its cues from traditional noodle shops. It’s adapted towards millennials and modern New Yorkers wanting good, healthy food, served quickly. Our noodles are gluten free, and we are focused on an array of vegetarian and vegan friendly dishes. Think fresh, herbs and green, that’s us!

We arrived to Mother Duck and it was closed without notice. It was not posted on their Instagram or Open Table. I'm not sure why we were able to make a reservation if the restaurant wasn't open on a Friday night.

It was empty when we arrived, but most tables were full when we left. Our server gave good advice on the menu items, and everything we at was tasty and satisfying.
