Great spot to get some really good noodles and dumplings. The service was really good, food came out hot and fast. I really liked that it felt upscale with a lot of room. Everything was excellent.

Not a fan of leaving 1 star reviews but here we are. Wish I could say I tried the food but sadly due to the poor customer service we didn't get the food we ordered. We called and placed a take out order at 7:45pm. We were traveling from Wilmington to Winston Salem and wanted some food for when we got there. We explained that we had an eta of 8:50 just before they closed. She initially said the kitchen would be closed by then and had she left it at that all would have been fine. However we asked if they could make the order before the kitchen itself closed and pick it up at 8:50. She said that should be fine and took our order and gave us a total (glad we didn't prepay)Pulled up to the restaurant at exactly 8:50, doors locked, lights off and no one answering. Closing time on the window was 9:30 and listed online at 9pm. I've closed restaurants before if the kitchen closed at 8:30 I find it hard to believe they closed and cleaned that quickly but I digress. I really don't think she had any intention on making our order since it seems like they closed early. Next time just say no to the order don't leave people scrambling to try and find a place to eat. Do better.

My family and I came for dinner on a Saturday night around 5 pm and we were seated right away. The restaurant is spacious and there is a big bar area with a lot of seating. Our waitress was friendly and the food came out really fast. For appetizers we shared the edamame and for drinks we tried the tropical fruit sake flight which was delicious - the peach was my favorite! For entrees I ordered the ginger garlic chicken. The sauce had a lot of flavor and the chicken was tender. I also tried a bite of the kung pao chicken, sesame chicken, sesame tofu, and the curry noodles and found each dish to be full of flavor. Overall, the food and service here were great. I took off one star because the dishes were pretty pricy (~$18-25) and the portions could've been bigger, especially considering the price.

Came here for lunch on a Wednesday with my daughter. It was super quiet. The decor is lovely with brick walls and pretty lights hanging from the ceiling. Service was great, very attentive. I recommend the wonton soup and the Malaysian curry with roti to start. I would skip the half fried pork dumplings which are kind of like doughy meatballs. The waiter said they are boiled then fried on the bottom. They were too dense for my taste.I also ordered an extra Malaysian curry with roti to go as well as sesame tofu with rice and egg roll. Not bad. The tofu is fried and slightly sweet. I'll try noodles the next time I come here!

Since we were tired of going out to eat, we decided to order in. We ordered shumai, chicken satay, David's fried rice, Vietnamese spring and summer rolls, and more dumplings. The satay was great. Everything else was not just average. The Vietnamese summer rolls only had one-half of a shrimp.

Firstly, the place is hot and has a bad smell. We came in at 7 pm and it was dead. We sat at the bar. We ordered the shrimp Rangoon, it was fine. We also ordered the pad Thai and sesame chicken and that's where we had some issues. The pad Thai was not pad Thai, it was bland and tasted like curry. The sesame chicken is $19 and they serve very little of it on a plate surrounded by 6 pieces of broccoli (trying to make it look nice when in reality they're just cheaping out). The chicken was also pretty dry. We asked for a side of sriracha and were given a laughable amount in a little dish.

Terrific & consistently good food & service in a fun location. Once in a great while a to-go order has a mistake, but they credited us.

The restaurant is spacious and kept nice. The staff was friendly. We were seated and it took at least 15 mins or more for someone to help us. The food was hot and came out pretty quick. The dumplings were stuffed with meat and was filling. I didn't care too much for the oyster sauce, it was too salty but I ended up dunking my dumplings in ginger soy sauce which was better suited for me. The salt and pepper chicken was cooked perfectly however felt it could use a sauce. It was my first time having anything with sake and it was good, still not sure exactly what sake is but it taste Asian to me with mixture of apple and wine. I'd get the drink again I'd come back and try other things on the menu.

We stopped in this evening. I found the name of this place misleading when we landed at our table and upon review of the menu. The dumpling selection was weak. I envisioned a table full of various types of dumplings. Instead I got an appetizer course of reheated dumplings. The should call this place David's Appetizers and Noodles. The chicken and noodles entree was good and fresh. Really disappointed overall. Last visit.

Was in Raleigh and saw this place looking for dumplings believing their specialty was dumplings. Only saw two different types of dumplings as appetizers. They should change the name to David's Asian food. Really no dumplings or noodles plates. Food was decent but over priced.
