Rose's menu of East Asian-inspired dishes and housemade pastries is perfect for an afternoon or evening with friends. Order a few steaming noodle bowls and some veggies and dumplings to share, and save room for dessert. Seriously, the miso gingersnap ice cream sandwich tops quite a few lists and has been included in numerous national magazine articles about Durham. Hungry for brunch? Rose’s has you covered there as well.

Rose's is brilliant. The menu, which rotates based on local availability of ingredients, is always super interesting. The Katsu (fried chicken sandwich) in particular was extraordinary. The vibe inside is also really cool and they play really good music.

Soy-tonkatsu ramen had a taste similar to seafood ramen in Tokyo. The house made belt noodles with veggies were spectacular, though the bottom of the bowl had a lot of extra sauce which made it salty. The katsu sando was crispy and delicious. It was a little pricey, but everything was quite good and the desserts were phenomenal!

I recently had brunch here, and it did not disappoint! I started with the pork steamed bun and then tried the hot & sour sweet potato noodles. Both were so favorful and authentic! The noodles were definitely more on the spicy side, so beware of that, but if you like a bit of heat, you will definitely enjoy this dish! The portions were huge too, so I had a ton of leftovers. These dishes are really meant to share, and the prices are very reasonable. I highly recommend, and will definitely be back often.

The food is really good. Unique taste. The sweets are absolutely amazing. The staff is very nice.
There is not a lot of room inside.
The food is quite pricy.
There is very little parking.
The wait is really long if you go during weekend dinner. Be prepared to wait 40 mins.
If you know what you're getting into, definitely worth it.

Wonderful food! We had the belt noodles with pork and steamed bun, it was soooo good! Would say if you aren’t a fan of spice this one wouldn’t be for you. However, the steamed bun was one of the fluffiest i’ve had in forever! Will definitely be back.
PS, the macaroons with coconut and guava was honestly the best way to end the night! Try it!

I've trialed Rose's several times in order to get a better assessment of their offerings. Unfortunately, there has been too much variability in the food, and not usually for good. Most recently, I bought their home-made belt noodle dish with ground pork. Firstly, the price point of $19 is beyond what this dish should cost. Secondly, the dish was overly salted and overly sauced (and I love sauces!). It was practically inedible for the bottom 2/3rd of the dish, sitting in the load of sauce. Will not be finishing and will consider this my last attempt at Rose's.
Service was pleasant and everyone working seemed nice. I cannot speak to their desserts, though they did look very nice.

Lunch special of 1/2 sandwich, 1/2 salad and tea was a good value, nice portion and lets you try 2 things. I was surprised how much I liked the Jasmine tea. It had a stronger flavor than I expected. The spinach was good but a bit too tart for my taste. I will order a different salad next time. The Katsu sandwich was the star. Pork was tender, the crispy crust wonderful and the bread had great flavor and texture.

5 stars for the sweet - i love their white miso ice cream sandwich and creme brulee macaroon. The food - yeah they are special and most of the time very good. However, they are salty and not consistent in quality. I mean, you can get lucky and have the best meal but you can also have not too good but overpriced dishes, especially when they are busy. It’s a shame, i really liked this place the first time i am here…looking forward to new changes .
