Stopped by Wheat today with a friend and had a really nice lunch. We ordered the crab paste rice and the pork belly noodles, and both were delicious. The pork belly was super tender and flavorful, and the crab roe rice was rich and really satisfying.
It was raining outside today, so having a warm bowl of noodles and rice felt especially comforting. The restaurant is very clean and has a relaxed, cozy atmosphere, which made the whole meal even better.The staff were also very friendly and attentive, which made the experience even better.
Overall a great spot for good food and good service. Definitely coming back next time!!!!🥰 -
Lots of great options here, will have to stop by again. I forgot to take a picture of my favorite item, the House Lo Mein, which had thick bitey noodles. The shrimp dumplings were surprisingly good, the marinated cucumbers were a nice addition to the other items, the poached chicken app was different. The egg tarts were okay and they have some good tea/drink options too!

Our friends brought us to Wheat 麥茶 for a wonderful get-together, and we had such a great experience! The food was delicious, the atmosphere was comfortable, and it was a perfect place to enjoy a big meal with good friends.
We ordered a table full of dishes to share. The Hainanese Chicken was tender, juicy, and flavorful. The Salt & Pepper Pork Ribs were crispy on the outside and tender inside. The Braised Pork Belly with Preserved Mustard Greens (梅干扣肉) was especially delicious—the pork was incredibly tender and rich, while the preserved mustard greens added wonderful savory flavor. Definitely a dish that makes you want another bowl of rice!
We also enjoyed the stir-fried fish fillets, which were fresh and delicate, and the spicy chicken was flavorful and addictive. The Crab Roe Tofu was another favorite—silky tofu with a rich, savory sauce that paired perfectly with rice.
And then came the perfect ending: freshly baked egg tarts! Crispy, flaky pastry with a warm, creamy custard center. They were absolutely delicious straight from the oven.
Great food makes a meal memorable, but sharing it with wonderful friends makes it truly special. ❤️
Excellent food, great company, and a very happy meal. Five stars for Wheat 麥茶—we’ll definitely be back! -
I really enjoyed my meal at The Wheat in Durham! Everything we ordered was delicious, but the beef rolls, mala dry pot, and braised beef noodle soup were definitely the highlights.
The beef rolls were flavorful and satisfying, with a great combination of tender beef and crispy, savory layers.
The mala dry pot was another favorite — packed with flavor, nicely spicy, and loaded with a great variety of ingredients. The spice level had just the right amount of kick without overpowering the other flavors.
And the braised beef noodle soup was absolutely delicious. The broth was rich and flavorful, the beef was tender and well-seasoned, and the noodles soaked up all that delicious broth. So comforting and satisfying!
Overall, The Wheat is definitely a spot I would recommend if you’re craving flavorful Chinese food in the Durham area. The beef rolls, mala dry pot, and braised beef noodle soup are must-tries! I’ll definitely be coming back to try more dishes. -
Very good and not too salty! Really liked the salt and pepper pork ribs. Noddles were handmade fresh and bouncy. The noddle portions were quite big and served fast. Downside was the parking is might be hard but is very accessible. Paying $3/hr parking across the streets
