Looking for good duck in Thousand Oaks/Moorpark/ Simi Valley area

Hi all,

My mom is in Simi Valley and her birthday is this weekend. She is looking for rec's for a restaurant that does good duck. Any suggestions? Thanks!

What style duck are you looking for? If it's Chinese Peking style, you're out of luck up here.

I love the crispy duck with broccoli at Westlake Thai in Thousand Oaks:

Thanks for the question, she would not enjoy Chinese style. Classic is best.

Hunan on TO Blvd. in TO has a passable tea smoked duck and a passable boneless duck meat with ginger roots, but generally this is the duck wasteland.

Leilas, in Oak Park would be a great choice. Half of a crispy duck usually on wonderful garlic mashed potatoes {at least the last time I had it, Richie, the chef, often changes the underpinnings}. Cal-Med cooking on a high level. Zagut for+ years. Good, resonable wine list..

I don't see a half crispy duck on the menu, is it a special?

Thanks for the link, I'll pass it on to mom. The menu items look delicious!

You might also check Hampton's in the WLV Four Seasons; their online sample menu includes a roast duck breast entree, but I'd call ahead to make sure they're still offering it.
