Had an amazing dinner here. Highly reccomend the French bread and lobster bisque. I also really enjoyed the lamb entree. Wasn’t a big fan of the spicy beef. Service was excellent.

Stumbled across this gem when the restaurant we were intending to go to, was closed. And boy oh boy, sure glad it was!!! This place is outstanding. From the very warm welcoming when first seated, to the amazing service and hospitality, to the very best and most delicious soon. Will be returning eveytime we’re in town! Thank you, Ducs Bistro!

This place is amazing!!! Great food and even better service! Loved everything we ordered, lobster bisque, beef tartar both a must try. If your visiting Honolulu put this on your list of places you have to try!
Great hidden spot on the island! We are visiting Honolulu and so glad we tried here. Felt very local and the staff (family!) were all so kind and lovely hosts. Loved it here!

Great spot for a nice dinner. The owner was so friendly and the food was delicious. Highly recommend the pork belly!
Duc and his son, Ian, serve up a flavor explosion of French-Asian fusion that delights tastebuds with traditional themes that have exquisite twists which create a "best I've ever had" experience.

We came the day after Christmas. Everyone we interacted with was so friendly and helpful, and the food was delicious. The flavors were great and everything was cooked perfectly. We tried quite a few different things, and enjoyed all of them. Would come back when we visit Oahu next!

This is an unsophisticated (appearance wise) little restaurant in the middle of Chinatown. We ordered the escargots, fire roasted eggplant, pork belly, and fillet Of Basa Nonpareil and were very pleased with each one. Every staff was professional, attentive, and friendly, and drinks and dishes were served at the perfect pace. I’d really love to go back there if we could stay longer in Honolulu.
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.

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.Parking: Get lucky and find a spot on the street or park in the paid lot across the street.

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!
