Is this the same Mark's Duck House that use to be located in the Eden Center Shopping Center?  We use to call it the "Hanging Chicken" place for the roast chickens, roast ducks hanging in the display case.

Just tried Mark's Duck House and confirmed that indeed it is the same restaurant that was at Eden Center.  It has expanded and now serves 'dim sum' everyday.  The 'dim sum' I tried was on par with Fortune (which I consider one of the best.)  They continue to have their huge noodle menu and the one dish (a lamb tendon cooked in a Chinese casserole dish) I tried was excellent.
 And it looks like they have an expanded menu.

They have been opened now for seven weeks and not everyone knows that they have relocated there, consequently they are not crowded, but that shouldn't last long.  One current benefit, is that they are selling their cooked meats (chicken, roast pork) at 20 pct discount.
