Little Black Duck

01/09/2015

I first arrived at LBD on January 5th, 2014, and like most guests I was hopelessly lost in Old Quarter.

While walking back and forth I was stopped by a tiny woman asking if I needed help, I accepted and was given directions and advice while enjoying a much needed cappuccino.

I returned.

First it was dinner that night, then the next night and then every night that week and then for the entire 3 weeks I had planned to stay in Vietnam.

The woman that helped me was Hong, the owner of the Little Black Duck. So I decided to stay in Vietnam and help run the restaurant as the manager. I had never been a manager at a restaurant before, so I was constantly learning (and mostly making mistakes, as I have been told). One thing I learned is that our guests were what made working in that business memorable.

Due to the overwhelmingly positive reviews, we maintained a high ranking in tripadvisor, it was very generous from you all. Some nights we might not have deserved such high praise but we always worked hard to improve.

I want to personally thank my staff, past and present that made it possible to give the highest standard of service and who really made our business great, and who taught me more about being a manager than I ever taught them.

To our customers for making every day interesting and who loved our food as much as I did.

And finally to Hong for giving me the opportunity to work and live in an adventure of a lifetime.

We will start a new business some day, some where, and when we do you are all welcome.

Good bye, but not for long...

Dear past guests and friends, I regret to announce that the Little Black Duck is now closed for the foreseeable future. We had many reasons to close and many to stay open but unfortunately we couldn't continue.

We want to thank all of you for your support and encouragement that made the Little Black Duck a success over these 2 years.

We hope to seeing you in our new establishment in the near future, wherever we might be.

Good bye, from this little black duck...

We received our certificate of excellence from TripAdvisor yesterday, and I'm proud of our staff for making the restaurant what it is.

And to all our customers who voted for us we are also very thankful.

T'was the night before Xmas and all through the house,
all were eating, every man and his spouse.

The Turkey was placed on the plate with care,
In hope that even St Nicholas would come try our fare.
