Mouthwatering Asian Fusion in Raleigh

Juju Asian Tapas + Bar

★★★★☆ 4.2 (703) • $$$

"Food is stupendous Service was mehhhAmbiance was noisy and hard to hear and be heard, tables way too close to one another.The bill was eye bulging too. The food was very good though, albeit modest portions."

Sushi Iwa

★★★★☆ 3.8 (521) • $$

"Lunch sushi and sashimi is full of variety and flavors.The Seaweed Salad is fresh and crispy lettuce,tomatoes, carrots, and plenty of Seaweed with ginger dressing.The steamy hot sweet and sour soup is packed with many flavors, tofu, mushrooms, and umami tastes is very warming and satisfying."

Soo Cafe

★★★★☆ 4.3 (375) • $$

"Went with a group of 15 for lunch. They were expecting us and were able to take our orders, serve us, and let us pay in one hour. Amazing for such a large group. The chicken tenders were delicious. Great crunch and a tad spicy. Kimchi was quite good. This is not a fancy place, but it was clean and the food was hot and tasty. I need to try something else to determine if this should be 5 stars, not 4, and plan to be back soon."

Lucha Tigre

★★★★☆ 3.9 (429)

"We discovered Lucha Tigre thanks to Yelp. We enjoyed our meal here. I give this place 3.5 stars rounded up to 4. Good food, for the most part, and great service. I'd come back.This is a casual, fun, Asian-Latin fusion restaurant and bar. Inside, the space is divided into two sides: bar and dining room. A big "LUCHA TIGRE" covers one of the bar walls and pop art decorates the main dining room wall. They also have a somewhat spacious, partially-covered patio. Overall, it's got a neat vibe.I booked our reservations on Lucha Tigre's website at https://luchatigre.com/ The reservation process was unconventional because instead of getting booked immediately, I had to wait for an email confirmation. On a Sunday, I got a "Pending Reservation Request" email at 2:16pm followed by a confirmation email at 2:52pm, so a 36-minute turnaround time. I got us a same-day reservation at 5pm, not a peak time as evidenced by the lack of customers upon our arrival. However, business had picked up by the time we left around 6:30.The menu had an interesting selection of food and drink. A few good examples of the Asian-Latin fusion served here include General Tso's Chicken Empanadas ($5 each), Pozole Ramen ($15.99), and Pad Thai Al Pastor ($16.99). They also serve straight-up Asian and Latin dishes like pho ($14.99) and tacos ($2 and $4 each). Drink-wise, they had a full bar with a decent selection that included tequila, mezcal, and sake cocktails. They even had a cocktail made with Japanese Suntory Whisky Toki.Here's what my wife and I had:Bebidas Especiales (cocktails)* El Conquistador ($14) - Tequila Herradura Silver, freshly-squeezed citrus, CointreauTapas* Tuna Tiradito ($16.99) - sashimi tuna with aji amarillo pepper, onions, cilantro, roasted corn nuts, and fresh citrus; Nikkei cuisine* Bulgogi Nachos ($15.99) - giant-size nachos with Korean BBQ beef, pico, kimchi, cheese, crema, jalapenos, black beansEntrees* Salmon Poke ($18.99) - raw salmon with sesame, onion, and tamari with seaweed salad, rice, and avocado* Pollo Saltado ($16.99) - stir-fried chicken, tomato, cilantro, onion; served over fries with rice and saladIn general, we were happy or content with everything. Some dishes were better than others. Beautiful presentation all around.The El Conquistador was a margarita that was more tart and less sweet. It was refreshing.I liked the Tuna Tiradito more than my wife. Tiradito is like Peruvian sashimi. I thought this dish was fine. I could see why my wife didn't like it as much because the texture of the tuna wasn't as fresh and appetizing as the tuna sashimi we're accustomed to. This tuna was a bit more "pasty" in texture. Also, the roasted corn nuts, which we think were the same as hominy, didn't add much.The standout dish was the Bulgogi Nachos. I saw pictures of it on Yelp and knew we had to order it. The portion size was huge and the Korean beef bulgogi was sweet and savory. We devoured the nachos. They were incredibly delicious and addictive. A lot of textures and flavors, and they all blended and worked well together.The Salmon Poke was solid. I recommend it if you like poke. Admittedly, it was better than we both expected because we haven't encountered a lot of great poke in the Chapel Hill-Durham area. Decent portions and fresh salmon, seaweed salad, and other ingredients. I will say the rice tasted plain and not seasoned with rice vinegar. The poke came with two sauces on the side, tamari (a type of Japanese soy sauce) and what I think was a type of curry sauce. The salmon was already nicely marinated and tasty so the sauces weren't needed.The Pollo Saltado was OK. It wasn't among the best I've had, but it was "authentic." The problems with this dish were the chicken was too dry and tough and the fries were underseasoned (not salty enough). Unfortunately, the salad was the best part of this dish.Our server Taryn was great. She was attentive and efficient. Everything we ordered came out fairly quickly. One detail I really liked and appreciated was Taryn neatly packed our leftovers and labeled and dated the boxes. That's an extra level of service you don't get at most other sit-down restaurants.Lucha Tigre opened in December 2012. It replaced the Chapel Hill location of The Original Flying Burrito: https://www.yelp.com/biz/the-original-flying-burrito-chapel-hill You can find it in the Midtown Market shopping plaza, north of UNC's campus. There's plenty of free dedicated parking.I didn't have a good cell signal here and used their guest Wi-Fi. Password was Beefbulgogi1."

MOFU Shoppe

★★★★☆ 4.2 (320) • $$

"On a busy first Friday night in downtown Raleigh, we decided to have dinner at Mofu Shoppe! There was a 35-40 minute wait for a table for 2 (we didn't make a reservation), so we opted to sit at the last 2 seats at the bar! It took a little time for one of the awesome bar tenders to wait on us, but it's understandable for a super busy Friday night. It's a super cute vibe. There's even a little upstairs balcony looking seating area. I really liked the vibe here. The service was pretty good to top it off!My daughter had been here before and surprisingly it was my first time. Since she had decided to come here again, I let her order. She ordered us several shareable to share :)The Beef Bulgogi Dumplings were absolutely amazing. It came with an even more yummy kimchi bbq sauce for dipping. The Kimchi tots were amazing, such an amazing flavor profile. On to the Mofu Wings, they have a few flavors, we ordered the Thai Chili, soooo delicious. And lastly the Crispy Brussels w/ Fried Tofu. The Brussels were delicious. I was literally dancing in my seat the food was so good. If you know me, I hardly ever give 5's. I give glowing 4's, but 5's are rare. I'll be dreaming about this food until I go back next."

Iza Whiskey & Eats

★★★★★ 4.6 (253) • $$

"We enjoyed the food, drink, and service at Iza Whiskey & Eats in downtown Carrboro. This is a solid sushi/Asian-fusion-type restaurant and bar, especially for the area. If Iza was located in a bigger city, I'd give it four stars, but for Carrboro-Chapel Hill, this place is great (giving a generous five). Having dined out a lot in Carrboro and Chapel Hill over the past three years, we came into Iza with tempered expectations. I'm happy to report that we did not leave disappointed. I like this place and recommend it.Iza opened in November 2020 in the old One Fish Two Fish Poke Joint space (https://bit.ly/40ydINW) in the East Main Square shopping center. Free surface parking is available in the shopping center's lot. That's where we parked, but be sure to read the signs about restrictions. Also, plenty of parking is available in the nearby deck (you can't miss it), which belongs to the Town of Carrboro.I really like the restaurant and bar space here. It's beautiful, as are the drinks and dishes. This place exudes a trendier, upscale ambiance, but still keeps things casual and unpretentious. And it's not all just for show. The chefs and bartenders back up the look with well-executed food and drink, and excellent customer service. Interior features include a prominent kabuki mural (I love it), Asian lanterns and pendant lights, well-stocked shelves of whiskey, and a large illuminated Buddha head. Outside, there's a fairly spacious, uncovered, string-lit patio.During our visit, the menu offered a nice variety of both small and large plates. You can dine here tapas-style or everyone can get their own main dish. The sushi menu consisted mainly of rolls ($9-17 each). There was a Sashimi Platter ($36.90), but to our surprise, no nigiri other than the toro special that our server told us about.Conversely, with "Whiskey" in the business name, the bar's extensive drink menu did not come as a surprise. The drink menu we received contained a list of 111 whiskeys. There were whiskey flights ($25-50), sake, cocktails, wine, beer, and more.Below is what our table of four ordered. I think I missed a drink or two. We doubled up on some of the apps due to portion sizes. This should give you a good idea of what Iza has to offer.Appetizers* Ishiyaki BBQ with 3 oz A5 Wagyu Steak ($60) - cook it yourself on a hot stone, served with Himalayan salt and chimichurri sauce* Salmon Tiradito x2 ($13.90 each, x2) - sashimi-style salmon plated with onion truffle sauce, chive oil, garnished with micro greens* Okinawa Scallops x2 ($15.90 each, x2) - in each, two seared U10 scallops served with uni butter saffron, shiso pesto, and micro greens* Tuna Tartare & Chips ($14.90) - spicy tuna tartare topped with avocado, mango, citrus dressing, spicy mayo, and eel sauce* Tamarind Cauliflower ($10.90) - lightly-fried cauliflower glazed with a sweet, tangy tamarind sauceEntrees/Sushi* Pork Tenderloin Tonkatsu ($19.90) - pork lightly breaded with Japanese panko breadcrumbs and served with steamed white rice, cabbage, and tonkatsu sauce.* Korean-Style Sashimi Poke Bowl ($15.90) - assorted sashimi mixed with Korean "tanguiri" sauce, served atop sushi rice, garnished with micro greens, scallions, cucumbers, avocado, and rice seasoning* Iza Crunch Raw Specialty Roll ($14) - cucumber, tuna, salmon, yellowtail, and shiso inside, topped with spicy mayo and tempura crunch on the outsideSpecials (not on menu)* Toro Nigiri x2 (each set of 2 pieces for $16, x2) - fatty bluefin tuna bellyCocktails, Mocktails, and Whiskey* Japanese Sour cocktail ($14) - Suntory Japanese whiskey, citrus* Feeling Peachy mocktail ($4) - fresh lemon juice, peach syrup, club soda* Whiskey #94. Suntory Toko Japanese Whiskey ($14) - requested neatIn general, everything was outstanding. Fantastic quality all around. In order, my favorites were the Toro Nigiri, Okinawa Scallops, Tuna Tartare & Chips, and Salmon Tiradito. All of the seafood was really fresh and delicious. The chips that came with the Tuna Tartare were creative - they were nori (seaweed) tempura chips. The Scallops and sauce were succulent. If you love nigiri, I highly recommend Iza's Toro. It was legit.The Pork Tenderloin Tonkatsu was appetizing, served bone-in. I thought that was unique because I'm not sure I've seen tonkatsu served bone-in before. Both the Poke Bowl and the Iza Crunch Roll were solid. I couldn't figure out what the Korean "tanguiri" sauce was, but the poke came with tuna and salmon and they were marinated well.The one dish I have to knock, though, is the Ishiyaki BBQ with A5 Wagyu. Simply put, I didn't think it was worth the money. I love Wagyu, but this particular Wagyu was too fatty. I think I would've been happier with the much less expensive Ribeye option ($18.90).The drinks were terrific.As mentioned above, service was excellent, from our hostess Shaye to our server Aurora. Everyone was friendly, warm, and polite. They seem to have a wonderful team here."

Goji Bistro

★★★★☆ 4 (289) • $$

"Hands down the best Asian food in the Triangle. Highly recommend. They recently added incredible atmospheric EDM Trace after-hours music at dinner. It makes for the best dine-in experience. It's fun and kid-friendly. The gluten-free menu is FANTASTIC. The staff is well versed and very careful. They have fried items and sauteed items. I get the candy walnut shrimp, hot fish, or orange beef. Everything is well prepared and delicious. They also added the BEST gluten-free beer menu! A full range of options. It's magic. We've been coming to Goji for years. It never disappoints. I'm so thankful for this safe, delicious option in my hometown."

Sake Bomb

★★★★☆ 3.7 (334) • $$

"My favorite place for quick - to go - sushi. Their location is very convenient to my office (about a 5 minute drive), where there is ample amount of parking. They are located in a strip mall which provides great amount of parking for all to park in.From the looks of the outside of the restaurant, one may be hesitant to go further, however, once you enter through the doors, you are transformed into a much nicer looking restaurant with a FULL, top shelf lounge / bar area with televisions, high tables, booths and bar seating.On the other side is their restaurant location, where they provide plenty of seating, booths as well as tables. Their lunch specials that they offer are great priced! you can get 3 rolls, soup and salad for only $12.00!Typically I get the same 3 rolls - Tuna Roll, Salmon Roll and shrimp tempura roll. with miso soup and salad with ginger dressing.Recently, I took a 'to go' order on a Tuesday and was pleasantly surprised with a BOGO! (buy one, get one free) - which ever roll is lesser. I was able to try the rainbow and firecracker rolls.Very tasty, even after getting home (wish they included more soy sauce packets, as well as wassabi).definitely my go-to place for quick, quality, affordable sushi!"

Chuan Cafe

★★★★☆ 4.4 (235) • $$

"We found this restaurant on accident. We were lost and hungry and then there's this restaurant that does not require us to pay to park. We were the only customers eating in so we didn't have to wait long for our food. I ordered an vegetarian Eggplant dish that was delicious. My mom ordered Sesame Chicken, that just tasted sweet, more like orange chicken with Sesame seeds on top. The restaurant was clean, the service was here and there. We went a long time without water refills, and had to get our own to go box's off a table when no one would come to the table."

Zanyu Asian Noodles

★★★★☆ 4.3 (239)

"Came in off a Yelp search, and saw the kha soi noodles had some good reviews so of course I had to come try. They were full of flavor and were fresh tasting. Highly recommend. The edamame was okay. The service was exceptional from all employees. The ambiance was quiet, and the place was clean. Overall, this place was a place I would return to and highly recommend for someone in the area."

Spicy 9 Sushi Bar & Asian Restaurant

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (377) • $$

"Sushi is buy 1 get one free.. not a bad deal so next time I come I will probably get the same.. I ordered the pad see ew with chicken and it was really good. I enjoyed it, my co workers got edamame and drunken noodles and sashimi.. I didn't eat the sashimi but the drunken noodles and the edamame were good.. I can't wait to come back and get some more.. the service was good too, our waiter was super attentive to our needs.."

Sushi at the Park

★★★★☆ 3.7 (314) • $$

"Love the sushi and the atmosphere and my kids love the buy one get one. The only complaint is the sticky floors!!!!!"

KoKyu

★★★★★ 4.5 (208) • $$

"The food and service were great! There is no longer an indoor space to eat, so you have to either eat outdoors or take your food to go. The only problem with sitting outside is that cars pull up to take out food and they tend to leave their engines on while waiting. It would be great if Kokyu asked them to turn off their engines while waiting. With that being said, we'll be back soon because the tofu bibimbap and the steak fries were so tasty!"

Sushi Iwa Clayton

★★★★☆ 3.7 (255)

"My youngest and I came on a Saturday and it was starting to get busy. Most of the people waiting were Door Dashers and others had call in orders. We were seated within 5-7 minutes and that was because I opted to wait for a booth. Our server was attentive and helpful with any questions I had about the menu. They offer BoGo sushi which is always a plus in my book! My son ordered from the kids menu ( chicken lo mein) which was way more than enough for him and i to share. I ordered the American Dream and Sexy Girls specialty roll, and pad Thai, which comes with soup or salad, I chose hot and sour soup. The soup came out rather quickly and was flavorful. I have a habit to let servers know if my son's food is ready before mine, feel free to bring it out first. When she bought his food out I honestly thought I had ordered something else because it was a lot of food for it to be a kids meal. He didn't waste time enjoying it and I was able to grab a few noodles to taste and everything was good and hot. My sushi came out soon after and it did not disappoint at all. If not mistaken I believe it was about 8 rolls each. Needless to say when my main course came out I didn't even touch it bc I was absolutely full! Between the soup and sushi I had plenty. Everything was fresh and made to order. You can actually dine at the sushi bar and watch them make it in front of you. The only reason why I didn't give them 5 stars was because the cell service in the building was horrible! I had a few phone calls that every other word was scrambled, we couldn't get on the internet and I couldn't call out even with showing 3 bars on my phone. I honestly thought it was my service bc they are a hit and miss sometimes but I asked one of the servers and they mentioned it was the building itself. Service is not good at all in there. Overall the food was delicious and we now have a go to for our bogo sushi."

Budacai

★★★★☆ 4 (212)

"This shop is so cute! I love the upstairs area and how photo friendly they made it. The food is very tasty and I like all of the options I have to choose from when customizing my tea. It took me a while to choose everything so I appreciate the staff being patient and answering all of my questions about the menu, they were very nice. Whenever I'm in downtown Raleigh and want some small bites or something sweet, I swing by here."

MinGa

★★★★☆ 3.6 (241) • $$

"When I think back to our time at MinGa, I instantly think of a beautiful sunny yet breezy summer day (in February), sitting outside and sipping on hot soup and being blown away by the most amazingly sweet server.Yes, we went here during lunch hour and had the pleasure of sitting outside. I ordered the Seafood Suntofu and stone bibimbap and loved everything we received. To start off with the suntofu, it was essentially a soup with egg, tofu and different kinds of seafoods in it. I initially thought it to be a bit mild for my taste so I requested for some chilli paste/oil and that made it perfectly spicy for me.The stone bibimbap was amazing! I secretly wish I had ordered that but thats the plus of going out with others, you get to try many things at once. This was nicly spicy, and HOT I loved the saices they brought out with it. The crunchy rice from the bootm and the hot chicken made the dish irresistible for me! I know already what i will order next time.Strangely we only got 1 servng of the Banchan, but it was good enough as we were full by the end of this meal anyways."

M Pocha

★★★★☆ 4.2 (155) • $$

"We had a great dinner at M Pocha in downtown Durham. Our well-traveled friend from Nashville, who ate with us here, said it was the best meal he's had in a year. He told me I could quote him in my Yelp review. In barbecue circles, he's known as Speedy of the Barbecue Bros: https://bit.ly/3KlTpgdI personally wouldn't go as far to say this was the best meal I've had in a year, but it was certainly very good. I give M Pocha a solid four stars.If you're not familiar with the "M Restaurants" of Durham, they're among the best Asian restaurants in the Triangle. Their most popular restaurant, M Sushi ( https://bit.ly/3QnVQTo ), has the best sushi in the Triangle, in my opinion. M Restaurants set the bar high. The "M" stands for Michael, Michael Lee, chef-owner of the M Restaurants.M Pocha is named after Korean street tents/stalls called pojangmacha. While Michael is Korean and this restaurant was inspired by pojangmacha or "pocha," the menu spans a variety of Asian cuisines, from Chinese to Thai. Like many restaurants in this part of Durham, M Pocha doesn't have a dedicated parking lot. My friends got lucky and found a spot in the nearby free lot off Morris St (same block). Otherwise, it's metered street and surface lot parking. If you don't want to park on the street, I suggest parking in the municipal lot at 111 W Chapel Hill St. You can walk through a brick alley and across Five Points to get to M Pocha. Parking is enforced Monday-Friday, 8am-7pm, except for city holidays.This is a small restaurant. If I recall correctly, the max occupancy I saw on the wall was 49 people. Reservations are recommended. Like all the M Restaurants, except for M Kokko, M Pocha is on OpenTable. Book your reservation using OpenTable and earn dining points which can be used to redeem restaurant discounts, Amazon gift cards, and hotel stays.Here's we, four adults and two kids, shared:Cocktails* Cocktail of the Day ($16) - some sort of whiskey sour cocktail with egg white (I don't remember the exact description)* House of the Rising Sun ($20) - Hibiki Whisky, Bekseju (Korean herb wine), charred lemon, miso caramelSmall Plates* Lobster "Mac" & Cheese ($26) - crispy rice cakes, Mornay sauce, herb breadcrumbs, chili poached lobster* Shrimp Toast ($17) - Japanese milk bread, white shrimp, wasabi sweet chili sauceDumplings* Meat Mandu ($12) x2 - traditional Korean dumpling: ground pork, mushrooms, chili crisp, kimchi, buchu chives; handmade fresh daily* Crab Shumai ($16) - crab meat, shrimp, kani, cabbage, scallions, yuzu and truffle ponzu sauceMeat* Chicken Karaage ($14) - marinated fried chicken, special spicy dipping sauce* Spicy Pork Buns ($17) - DIY steamed buns, spicy Korean BBQ pork, pickled cucumbers, ssam* Meat Plate ($48) - grilled galbi marinated Korean short rib, dry rub Iberico pork chop, duck fat pickled oyster mushrooms, seasonal kimchi, grilled onions, choice of rice or side salad (we chose rice)Rice* Chashu Don ($19) - braised pork belly, gravy, spicy cucumber salad, six-minute egg, scallionsNoodles/Soup* Xiao Mian (Chongqing Fire Noodles) ($19) - alkaline noodles, ground pork, gai lan, pickled mustard greens, housemade chili oil, sesame sauce, peanuts, cilantro* Drunken Noodle ($16) - stir-fried rice noodles, tofu, broccoli, carrots, peppers, tomatoes, beech mushrooms, Thai chilis, spicy chili sauce, peanuts, Thai basilSides* Chili Crisp Garlic Fries with Kimchi Aioli ($6)* Kimchi (regularly $5, but we got this for free; I think it came with a dish or maybe we got it because we ordered a lot)In general, everything was very good to excellent. I think the group favorite dishes were the Lobster "Mac" & Cheese, Shrimp Toast, Spicy Pork Buns, and Xiao Mian. My favorites were the latter two. The buns were freshly steamed and the pork was succulent. I enjoyed the Sichuan hot and numbing spice of the Xiao Mian. Every dish contained high-quality ingredients and was presented beautifully.I also really liked and recommend the Chicken Karaage for a simple, comforting fried chicken dish. The Drunken Noodles were tasty and are worth getting as well. M Pocha's Drunken Noodles can stand up to the best Drunken Noodles I've had in the Triangle. The noodle texture was terrific.What kept me from giving M Pocha five stars was the Meat Plate and Chashu Don. While tender and good quality, the pork chop on the Meat Plate lacked flavor. The Chashu Don pork had fantastic slices of pork belly and a perfectly-cooked egg, but there was too much rice and it was just soaked in sauce (didn't taste the best).We and the table next to us got complimentary dessert. It was like a sweet version of Crab Rangoon.The cocktails were well-made, refreshing, and delicious.Service was great. Our server was Ben and he did an amazing job. The dishes were paced as they were ready. Due to the limited table space, Ben was quick and creative in making more room for us as new dishes arrived.M Pocha opened in June 2019."

Twisted Noodles

★★★★☆ 3.5 (214) • $$

"Love the location, parking is great. You can literally park in front of the building for pick up. Interior design is beautiful and cozy if you're in the mood to dine in!Consistently cooked to perfection, I won't go anywhere else in Chapel Hill for wide rice noodles. The price is extremely fair for dinner ranging from $13 is a huge bargain for a full meal in this area!Posting this after my second day in a row of dining in at their restaurant. Needless to say: REPEAT CUSTOMER FOR LIFE"

Sushi One

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (222) • $$

"Delicious fresh sushi in a beautiful restaurant with attentive and sweet staff. Ive been here before many times and this restaurant does not disappoint. The sushi was so fresh, just the right size pieces. The ratio to fish to rice was correct and it was just delicious. The side salad is plentiful with delicious dressing and a great mix of greens. I will certainly return."

Red Bowl Asian Bistro

★★★☆☆ 3 (228)

"It was actually my hair dresser that convinced me to pop by Red Bowl after finishing my appointment. I looked through their extensive menu that consisted of appetizers, beef/chicken/shrimp entrees, and sushi. After flipping through and thinking of my hunger level I decided to go with the sushi. I love a Philly roll and the Red Bowl roll looked good as well, so I got those two. If you buy a drink the sushi is BOGO, so my server worked it out as I was able to take a bottle of water with me. This helped out so much on my total at the end.Now, the sushi...well, it was not the best. It was okay, but was super small and just the quality of ingredients just fell short. I maybe would come back for something else, but not back for the sushi. The great thing was my server was very nice and again worked things out for the BOGO. I would come back for the mix of meats and veggies that the table had next to me. It smelled and looked delicious!"

Red Bowl Asian Bistro

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (186)

"Best Chinese, Good Thai, and passable sushi in the Cary/Apex area. It's a great date spot but can handle groups. If you are hankering for New York style Chinese, this is your spot. The service is amazing. 10/10 reccomend."

iPho Sushi Kitchen & Bar

★★★★☆ 3.5 (153) • $$

"As a Californian, it's so hard to be impressed with sushi in many other states, but this place was AMAZING! I love that they had both pho and sushi options and everything was so tasty and authentic tasting. Prices are also quite reasonable. I definitely recommend this place for anyone craving Asian fusion."

Tasu Asian Bistro - Cary

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (195) • $$

"Highly recommended by others for house rice but I came for the Sushi. My waiter "Alexa" was nice and very engaging by asking if it was my first time. It was late Friday evening right before closing. I had the calamari and shrimp tempura roll. The sushi was fresh and delicious. I loved the calamari roll. So good! I can't wait to return to have it again. The service was excellent. My waiter also suggested sushi options and even accommodated my allergies by ensuring there was no avocado and suggesting the BOGO. Great experience. I look forward to coming back here and trying the other locations."

Mei Wei Asian Diner

★★★★☆ 3.8 (126)

"Easily some of the best Chinese food we have had in a very long time.This was our first time dining here and we will definitely be back. We ordered crab Rangoon and it was full of the cream cheese goodness. While the are deep fried there is no greasy taste or appearance to them which I find is often the case at most places. We both got an egg roll and while good, nothing spectacular and know we can do without them next time. lolWe have been on a search for GOOD fried rice and based on the pictures here on Yelp, Mei Wei's looked like it might end the search. We ordered a small chicken fried rice and it definitely hit passed the test. The only (and this is just a personal preference for me) thing I would change is adding egg, carrots and onions to it. Then it would be perfect!!!I ordered the general tso's and it was so good. The chicken was not soggy, not only is the portion enough for 2 meals, the chunks of chicken are a really good size. The hubs got the beef with broccoli and said it was easily some of the best he has had in the last 5 years. All in all, the food was amazing and this will definitely be our go to spot for Chinese."

Asian Garden

★★★★☆ 3.8 (124) • $

"Today, we had delivery ordered: Combination plates - which included rice and an egg roll or spring roll. 1. Curry Chicken 4/5 - tender chicken, a lot of flavor! A little on the spicy side, but the flavor profile is good for a Chinese restaurant. They had veggies in there, that I could leave out. Ask for only onions and the chicken in the sauce (if anything). 2. Chicken lo mein 3/5 - the chicken again was very tender. They give ALOT for your money. Wasn't overly flavorful - kinda of your basic lo mein add chicken. It wasn't oily - that's a plus as well."

Rasa Indian & Japanese Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.6 (115) • $$

"Food was great. Let's begin with that. Everything tasted amazing. Ambiance was fine. Nothing amazing, but overall clean. We went post gym and didn't feel out of place. Nothing fancy. The service was lacking. The server was almost afraid to talk to us. We waited a long time and when we got our food one of the orders was wrong. We literally had to get up and go find the server twice."

Dank Burrito

★★★★☆ 3.9 (78)

"I had a bowl with pork belly and chicken. The food at Dank is delicious. Very fresh. The staff is welcoming and does a great job fulfilling orders quickly without interfering with the freshness. The ordering counter was clean and well stocked with items needed for your order."

Hunam Chinese Restaurant

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (115) • $$

"First time trying Hunam. I ordered the shrimp egg foo young and it was delicious. The gravy was spot on which for me is the key piece of this dish. They made nice size pieces of egg foo young and I could only eat half of my lunch. This was accompanied with an egg roll which was just okay. The lunch special also came with fried rice which was okay too but I would have liked this dish to have more veggies etc mixed in. I will return to try another dish. The restaurant seems to have been around for a while and it was very busy for lunch."

Fusion Nine

★★★★☆ 4.1 (55)

"Fusion NineINTRO: Restaurant located off of Morrisville Parkway.Chicken Lollipop, Dal Tadka, Sizzling brownie- food was delicious and was definitely enjoyable. Food was plenty for two people. Sizzling brownie was an exciting dessert and was a great way to end the night.Parking/ location: Hard to find since it is tucked right next to the badminton club and is not visual from the actual road. However, there was plenty of parking space but arrived later at night so not at the busiest hours to see how that may be.Ambience/Service-There was an outdoor and indoors part of the restaurant. Despite these sections it was on the smaller side. The indoor section included a bar. The outdoor section was lighted nicely and tucked within trees and leaf décor which gave it a romantic atmosphere. The waitress was excellent and very attentive, but the food arrived too quickly including dessert was served while we were beginning to eat the actual meal."

Pandya Nad

★★★★☆ 4.3 (46)

"Wow I am impressed! Not just food court-good, but legitimately good Indian food at food court prices. I just got the rice bowl with the curries on the hot table because we didn't want to wait (mcds for the kids next door). Butter chicken very lovely and creamy and flavorful, veggie curry spicy delicious, veggie biryani had the seeds and flavor you want, chicken Tikka masala hit the spot. Worth a visit!"

Spring Rolls Durham

★★★★☆ 4.1 (50) • $$

"Walking through downtown Durham while waiting to attend an event I was drawn into Sprihg Rolls. This was not due to an aroma or a sign, but by one of the staff members Radley. I was looking at their menu outside when the door suddenly opened, and here is this attractive dude telling me to come in out of the cold. He hands me a menu and asks me a series of questions, and tells me to stay. After checking out the menu, I decided to stay and sit at the bar. We continued our conversation while I sipped some water and ordered broccoli and chicken. The owner, Eddy, appears out of nowhere and chats it up with me. Eddy told me about how they opened during the pandemic and somehow stayed afloat on to go orders. Now, they stay pretty busy and have community events throughout the month. Then, a challenge from the owner to play jenga. As we played, my food came out pipping hot. The broccoli had a slight crunch, and the brown sauce that topped the other vegetables and chicken was light and not sweet or overpowering. I continued to dig in while I lost at jenga. Five stars for this gem on main street. The food was fresh and delicious; and they were super generous with their portions. Also, where can you go, and you end up playing jenga with the owner? I will be back!"

China Wok

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (72)

"Placed an order for a large group and tried many different dishes. We tried the shrimp egg foo yong, which was very good and the gravy was just right. We also ordered chicken fried rice and vegetable fried rice. Both dishes were cooked well and were very moist. We also had an order of beef lo mein, and that was cooked very well. I was pleasantly surprised as it was the first time I've tried this location. We got delivery and the delivery time was quick.Overall very satisfied with this meal."

Szechuan Village

★★★★☆ 4.3 (44)

"Hidden gem in Chapel Hill for Szechuan cuisineI stopped by this restaurant for dinner and had a wonderful experience. The staff was kind and attentive, even though it was a busy night. I was given a complimentary side of fried peanuts, which were delicious. I tried the egg drop soup, which was also very good. For my main course, I ordered the chongqing chicken, which blew me away. The flavors were bold and delicious. I loved every bite. The meal also came with a side of white rice.Overall, the food was amazing. I can't wait to go back and try the weekly lunch specials."

Tonight I was craving Asian food and decided to stop in.I ordered the hibachi chicken and it was absolutely delicious. Food was out in about five minutes and it is so good. I definitely will be coming back again"

China Queen

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (28) • $

"I'm a little surprised to be writing the first 5* review for CQ. Then again, it seems the others here have only tried the buffet (which I had once and thought was quite decent). I'm more a patron of the a la carte side of the restaurant, where the $4.95 lunch specials are an excellent deal. The food is fresh and flavorful, and there is a decent amount of quality meat and veg in each of the offerings. I haven't found many better deals or better lunches in the area."
