Look no further for awesome authentic Chinese food. The fresh noodles and dumplings are unbeatable. I got the hand-pulled Dan Dan noodles and the pork and chinese cabbage dumplings. No lie when I say these were the best dumplings I've had in America. The noodles were great too, though they were oily.

One of the best Chinese restaurants in the area! They serve a variety of authentic, hard-to-find hand-pulled noodles. The service is incredibly responsive, and everything is made fresh to order. I can’t wait to come back as a regular!

10/10 experience, service, and food! The ambiance was casual and so comfortable for a date night. The food came out quickly and was delicious! We ordered the Beef Ramen, Fried Shrimp Ramen, and Spinach & Chicken Dumplings. They were all fresh & flavorful. The staff is also so friendly and helpful with explaining menu options. Highly recommend!

Actually i have been there many times. Food were more authentic when it opened from the very beginning. Now it is a little infusion. I understand. But still good enough. Ordered eggplant and fish. May go again. Nice service, ok atmosphere.

Always busy place for a reason - it is one of the more authentic asian cusine places in the triangle. International chinese students from Duke, UNC, and NC state frequently visit the restaurant for a good reason! Their portions are quite generous, especially the noodles. Their specialty dishes pack a punch of flavor

Drove out from Greensboro and was definitely worth the trip. We got the chili wontons, DanDan noodles and the hand shaved fried shrimp noodles. Phenomenal. Will definitely be making this drive more often.

Food was incredible, high quality ingredients and prepared perfectly. There were some reviews that knocked the restaurant for atmosphere, this place is literally high end quality in a relaxed, causal atmosphere. It feels cozy, the dated feel gives it an authentic-seeming vibe. And to be honest, when you see the majority of the clientele are Asian and spending Chinese at their tables, I feel the food must be pretty authentic too.

Great authentic Chinese food with friendly servers. Eva was patient as she explained the dishes and gave us her recommendations. Best homemade noodles I’ve had in this state thus far. Their fried shaved noodles is reminiscent of great pappardelle, although I have yet to taste homemade pasta that is cooked this perfectly al dente. It is just chewy enough and the beef is perfectly tender and seasoned. The name of the dish is deceiving because it’s more like stir fried not deep fried. If you like lo mein, order the fried ramen instead. They hand make the noodles and is the perfect consistency as well and is pretty much an elevated lo mein. If you like cilantro (light cilantro flavor) make sure you order the stir fried yellow beef. So much flavor and compliments the noodle dishes as well. Also got the ma pa tofu. If you like spicy you will love it. Can’t wait to go back with other friends next time.

Delicious and authentic Chinese food. Service is prompt and friendly. Check out the "secret menu". The hand pulled Chongqing noodles are delicious! Kung Pao Chicken is the authentic Chinese version that comes with peanuts and black vinegar. I recommend the "Money Egg" from the secret menu. Very umami (but also very spicy).

Today we went to an Asian Kitchen restaurant. Initially, we planned to go somewhere else, but I saw on the map that this restaurant was closer, and we decided to go there since I had it saved in Google Maps. When we arrived, the first thing I liked was seeing the staff making handmade dumplings. That was one of the reasons we decided to order them—they looked very appetizing at the counter.
When we sat down, we were given the menu. I asked if they had a kids' menu, and they handed me the menu that’s usually given for delivery or takeout. This menu had the kids' options, but the main menu, which the server brought, didn’t include a kids' menu or even some of the items that were on the takeout menu. I was very surprised by this since half of my order came from the takeout menu, as those dishes weren't in the main menu.
I ordered General Tso's Chicken, Crab Rangoon as an appetizer, and pork and Chinese cabbage steamed dumplings. For my daughter, I ordered the kids' size sesame chicken. When the food arrived, I was really surprised that the dish for my child came without rice or any side at all. They just brought out the chicken, and they hadn’t asked me when I ordered whether I wanted a side or anything else. I assumed it would come with some sort of side, but it didn’t, so I shared my rice with her.
I really enjoyed the dumplings—they were delicious. The Crab Rangoon didn’t surprise me; it was just like any other one you’d get anywhere. As for the General Tso's Chicken, I felt like there was a lot of batter and not much meat, and the sauce was a bit too sweet and heavily seasoned. It wasn't spicy, but I just didn’t like the sauce, so I had to keep drinking water.
I would definitely return to this place to order the dumplings again, and I’d try the other dumplings with chicken or beef, or even pork again, because they were truly delicious—juicy, large, and with plenty of meat. They were really high-quality dumplings. However, for all the other dishes, I’d give them a 3 out of 5—just average.

First time visiting Asian Kitchen, food and atmosphere was great! However we asked for extra bowls they never came🤷🏻♀️ not sure what happened, by the time they stopped by we have finished eating. That’s why 4 stars for service.

So I'm torn on this review for a couple of reasons. We went for dinner and I was excited to give them a try based off of other reviews. We were giving menus that were kinda different from some foods on the reviews so I asked if they actually served rice and the server said yes, I then said it was not on the menu and I was asked if I wanted to see the American menu and I said yes. So we then saw some of the things others spoke about. We ordered the fried chicken and spinach dumplings, Mongolian beef with white rice and sesame chicken with fried rice. The fried rice however thru me for a loop because it was orange and had no flavor to me. I also had to ask for a fork instead of chopsticks which I'm used to it being the other way around. Overall it was just ok, and if we go back ask for the " American " menu

My first visit was fantastic! The food was absolutely amazing and authentic. Our server recommended a dish, but failed to mention that it was spicy, and unfortunately, it was so spicy that we couldn't finish it. Despite that, the overall experience was great, and the food was delicious.

MENU IN-RESTAURANT IS DIFFERENT THAN WEBSITE! The in-restaurant menu is much broader. I ordered the hand-pulled Dan Dan noodles (apparently hand-shaved noodles are thinner) and agreed when the server asked "spicy?"
You can see from the photos they come out needing to be mixed. Once that's done, you're left with a delicious noodle dish with the perfect amount of lip tingling spice. The noodles are delectably THICK, while still being perfectly cooked throughout.
Hands down one of the best noodle dishes in Durham.

Very authentic Asian restaurant. Service and atmosphere isn’t good but I go just for the food. Hand made noodles and big dishes. I’ve been 3 times now for lunch and last time I went I found out they have a lunch menu which was never offered to me and my friends each time we went. I found out by another customer asking for one. Next time I go for lunch I’ll ask for that lunch menu which should be given to each guest and you avoiding have to ask. Food is delicious and I’ll be back

Nice place, first time here. We enjoyed the pan fried dumplings and fried pork ramen. I would only recommend the Dan Dan noodles if you like a little spice. It was slightly too spicy for me and there was not much in it other than the chili oil. If we are back in the area, we will probably return and try other dishes. We had a hard time deciding what to get as the menu items did not have descriptions of any kind.
