Brewery Bhavana

my family and i had all been craving peking duck and i was flying into raleigh to visit for my birthday. my mom googled "peking duck in raleigh" and this place came up at the top.the inside is so cute. it is somewhat minimalist but not so minimalist that it feels sterile and boring. it's sort of eclectic/boho inside without being annoying (lol).the food blew us away. there wasn't a single bad bite. i want to go again just to try different items, i feel like i got the more popular ones so i need more. my favorites from this visit were making little bao from the peking duck and the crab fried rice (i'm a sucker for fried rice).i definitely recommend this place, just make sure you get a reservation. it was very, very full even for early lunch (11:00-11:30 AM) on a saturday. you won't regret it.

The food and the beer are so goood! The only problem was I don't have enough room to try the whole menu. The crab fried rice was perfect with a bit of chili oil and soy sauce. The soup dumplings were so juicy and delicious. The variety of beer is amazing.

Brewery Bhavana is absolutely amazing. I love the ambiance and interior decor, but also the soft music and lighting. Sometimes I find myself being nitpicky about the food, but in this case I have to focus this review on the ambiance. The environment really just brought the experience together. I had an orange creamsicle mocktail at the bar while I was waiting for a table- it was excellent and hit the spot. If you're looking to come during a busy hour, I suggest booking a reservation (or hit the bar like us). After we were seated, we decided on the seasonal fish and eggplant. Both dishes were moist, packed with flavor, and honestly, pretty authentic Asian food. We were given a complimentary cupcake and two fortune cookies as it was a dinner to celebration graduation. Our waiter was so nice!

Very nicely decorated restaurant! Book online because walk in can take up to 1-2 hours depending how busy they are. Delicious fancy Chinese food, but a bit pricey for the portions. Lots of options on the menu, but we ordered a couple items to try! Pork and Chive Shumai- this was good. Didn't really taste the caviar. Seafood Dumplings - this was very unique! I love how they have the Chinese donut to dip. There are mushroom in the sauce too. This will go well with rice! You can get free refills of the Chinese donuts. Xiao Long Bao - very juicy and meaty, would have been nice if it came with the ginger in the sauce. Siji Dou - green beans were good, but on the salty side. It was delicious with the rice. Steamed Whole Fish (Black Sea Bass) - this is market place so today it was $38 and this was our favorite dish! Dipping into the chili sauce added an extra kick to it. The sauces that it came with compliment the fish very well! Would recommend this place for a fancy night out!

What a cool spot! Elevated bohemian vibes in a brewery with Asian food. I mean it doesn't get more unique than this.Beyond unique, it's beautifully executed. Great for all sorts of people to stop by for a good meal and drinks. We actually went here on a boys trip. They have an extensive tap wall with large selection of beers, cocktails, and spirits. The beers are pretty good overall with some unique flavors. The food blew us a way as well. Their dim sum menu is available in between lunch and dinner. However you can order from it for dinner as well. Great selections - I could eat a whole meal of it. We also got their large format duck for the table with some noodles. Absolutely well done duck...the best I've ever hard. Be sure to get there early as quantities are limited. A must go to dinner spot in Raleigh with plenty to do nearby!

Ross was fantastic! Wonderful place to eat! Highly recommend this destination for dinner

I stopped by for a quick dinner date and was not disappointed! They were able to seat us half an hour early, which is great. The overall service was fine but not amazing. The food came out within 15 minutes and was pretty good! The General Tso's Chicken tasted more like sweet and sour chicken though. The shrimp lo mein was delicious and they did not skimp on the shrimp. The drinks looked great though we didn't get any. Would recommend coming for a nice dinner date or group of friends!

Brewery Bhavana is a restaurant with a beautiful aesthetic AND great food. A perfect choice for my birthday dinner the other week! My favorite dishes were the steamed whole fish (the scallion relish and fish sauce were the perfect accoutrement) and the seafood dumplings ( using the Chinese donuts to sop up the sauce was deliciously genius)!

What a cool spot, with incredible drinks and food! We came for a fun dinner for a group of 7 and it was perfect, we got to try so many dishes and everything was spectacular. The scallion pancake was a hit from everyone. Highly recommend putting this on your list to check out

Asian dim sum served all day! Great place to celebrate special occasions, but not a place to come casually. The order: -sea bass-green beans-Xlb-seafood dumpling-shu mai The good: -inside aesthetics are phenomenal-food comes out fairly quickly, depending on your order-taste is great-portions are descent -fairly authentic flavoring The bad: -very pricey for some of the dishes, especially compared to more traditional places -high demand reservations & long waits for walk in, despite lots of empty tables
