Rama Thai has been my go-to but recently tried Tong's and it was delicious. The best crispy duck I've ever had.

Teamhj. Man. I literally went to Tong to get their Crispy Duck due to your recommendation but I was utterly underwhelmed (no offense). Even Ristorante Nicola’s Duck was better.

My favorite Thai Crispy Duck used to be at Thai Pepper, they had the best Bangkok Duck ever! I’ve even went to Thailand and nothing compared. But since they closed…

The best (Thai) crispy duck in Springfield is Thailand Station easily. Please go try and let me know what you think!

Dang it! I'm no expert, but when I went I felt Tong's crispy duck was more flavorful, tender and moist than others I've had. I'm bummed you didn't have the same positive experience, but you've inspired me to try some more options around town. I'll definitely put Thailand Station on the list.

No worries! I’m glad you actually referred it since I haven’t been to Tong’s in a minute. I’m happy to support other local businesses, the rest of our meal was great just as I remembered.

Ever since Thai Pepper closed. I literally seek the world, every nook and cranny to find that damn Crispy Duck. I love it!! I even went to Ozark and had Orange Duck Breast at The Finley, lol. But Thai Station is closest I found. Nicola’s is a bit pricey but it’s not bad either
