The staff are friendly, helpful, and attentive. The food is of great quality and amazing portion size. I'm always stuffed whenever I eat here, and they are sensitive to my food allergy to peanuts! I always come here for comfort foods, since the wide variety let's me pick if I want more veggies or more meat in the meal I'm ordering. I try to go whenever I come back from out of town, but sometimes that can be months apart. The food still tasted great today and I still will be a regular here for years to come, even if I move away! What more can I say besides the fact that they have amazingly priced lunch specials between 11am and 3pm? You need to come here if you're a fan of Chinese / Indian "Hakka" cuisine. Worth becoming a regular for, especially if you live in the area!

The portions here are massive and very reasonably priced, so come hungry. The jap tang had a generous amount of seafood, all cooked perfectly, and the mapo tofu was silky soft, nutty, and had just the right amount of heat. The tangsuyuk portion was huge, with pork that stayed crispy on the outside while still juicy inside. The sweet and sour sauce was ridiculously good. The jjajangmyeon was much larger than we expected and honestly could have fed up to six people. The noodles had a perfect chewy texture, and the sauce was rich and deeply umami without feeling greasy at all. We also appreciated the added shrimp and scallops in the sauce, which made it feel even more satisfying. We easily left with enough leftovers for two full meals.

The restaurant itself is large and spacious which was perfect for our large family gatherings.

It can get a bit loud in the restaurant but we had no problem hearing each other.

The general manager and server warmly greeted us and checked up on us several times. The way they took care of us throughout the meal felt like a friend who was personally hosting us in their home. They also took the time to really explain each dish and how to best enjoy it, which I appreciated. Overall, the food definitely didn't disappoint. As someone who is sensitive to salt, I was most impressed by how every dish was perfectly seasoned (not over-seasoned with salt, sugar, and msg). Each dish tasted carefully crafted to let the ingredients shine. Betel Leaf - super fresh and aromatic flavours, really wakes up the taste buds. This is a small bite though so it's gone quick. Mushroom Dumplings - my understanding is that this is a seasonal vegetarian item but it deserves a place on the permanent menu. This was hands-down the best dish of the night. I will dream about and salivate over this dish. The brown butter sauce on the mushroom filling in the dumpling (almost like a ravioli), and truffle + cheese... my gosh, it's a flavor explosion! So decadent and rich, and seasoned to perfection. We licked the plate clean - it was THAT good. Sweet & Sour Pork Hock - the pork was so tender and soft. Again, seasoned well and very balanced. The pickled radish and peppers cut through the fat nicely between bites. I wish there were more of those radish pieces! Octopus Tacos - really smoky and well-cooked octopus, and interesting textures! I was not expecting the shell/wrap to be a vegetable! I enjoyed it and the dish felt lighter/healthier. Big Mac Bao - honestly, save your money on this one. It was good but it's exactly what you'd expect? Tastes like a Big Mac with a Bao bun rather than a regular bun. I just don't understand why someone would order this for $11 and it's pretty small. Duck Bokkeum - this was interesting! As a Korean, I appreciated the Korean twist. The duck was cooked textbook and everything was well-executed. I just don't think I'm a smoked duck person. I like Peking duck. I felt like the smokiness was a little overpowering for my own preferences and I got a little tired of the flavor after several bites. That said, the vegetables on this dish are superb and add great dimension and textures! If you like smoked duck, try it! If you're not a fan, save the $62 and spend it on something else! Aloe Sake Sorbet - a beautiful finish and palate cleanser to a wonderful meal. Very refreshing. You can taste both the sake and the aloe. PARKING NOTE: There's a garage right across the street on the same side as DaiLo that offers very affordable parking. Would recommend parking there!

The pad kee mao was good and it reminded us of the chinese beef noodle stir fry lol Service was good; the waitresses were knowledgeable and friendly. Restaurant was clean and spacious!

Jin's Mi-Fen hails from Hunan's Changde City in the northwest part of Hunan Province in China. The restaurant itself has a nice bright interior with plenty of seating. I was seated quickly and given the opportunity to ask the server if you have any questions about ingredients. The server recommended the most popular item on the menu which was the Signature Spicy Beef Double Up, 招牌双拼牛肉粉 , where it's a combination of 2 different kinds of beef, cooked 2 ways. M2. combined together with M3 on the menu. M2. 酱香牛肉粉 JIANGXIANG BEEF LOIN (STRIPLOIN) M3. 津市麻辣牛肉粉 - MALA SPICY BEEF JERKY (EYE ROUND) The server forgot to mention that this dish is recommended with soup on the side. She mentioned that the Signature Spicy Beef Double Up is spicy and said that, even when customers opt for a mild spice level, it does contain spices. She recommended to request no spice if you're unsure of spice preferences. Good advice. I like it hot and spicy, and in the end the cautious approach failed to deliver the requisite heat. I ordered 2 different soups using the table's QR Code sticker. M5. 番茄牛腩粉 - TOMATO BRAISED BEEF BRISKET M1. 招牌双拼牛肉粉 - SIGNATURE DOUBLE BEEF You get to choose the noodles and spice level ahead of time. For being the most popular MUST TRY choice among customers the Signature Spicy Beef Double Up wasn't my most popular choice. The broth was watery, salty and lacked spice. On the bright side, springy soft noodles and pickled vegetables were the MVPs, with the pickled vegetables adding a nice sour and crunchy texture. The Original beef brisket noodle tomato soup was a favourite! The sweet-tangy flavour of the tomato went well with the tender soft and chewy beef brisket. This one's a winner! 老配方牛骨牛肉真實熬湯 . They make their soup in house from an old-fashioned 400-year-old recipe which uses real beef bones, no MSG, and 24 herbs. When you are ready to pay the bill, there are a few steps to walk down to get to the bar area. I had a nice chat with the really friendly people who will cash you out. Glad to see this authentic Hunan style mi-fen noodle restaurant open in Durham!

Restaurant is pretty busy and noisy so it's really got that hustle and bustle feel. For their spice level we ordered the less spicy option but it came very spicy. Not sure if it was just a mistake but they took the order back and brought another one. It seemed odd that it was likely the same bowl with more stock to dilute in. This is also likely why it came back in a much larger bowl. Would preferred a new one so we could gauge the spice level but otherwise the flavour is there. The servers are fast and polite despite how the dish was rectified. Overall decent but I'm guessing on the spicier side of food for those who are not used to Korean levels of spice.

Fantastic and now part of my rotation of restaurants…read more Wife and i have been wanting to go here for over a year and finally had a chance to go and were not disappointed. Had the chef's counter experience which was great because we had the chance to have good conversations with Chef Daniel Cancino. We had the premium tasting menu all dishes were great to excellent. I would note the salmon main was a bit on the average side but everything else was fantastic. Standouts for me were the following: Ensaymada with duck prosciutto: the bread was cooked nicely and formed an excellent base to try with the amazing homemade butter and the burrata supplement. Be sure to save some caviar for this dish with the cheese. Scallop + tuyo: was very refreshing and and had a delightful citrusy taste. The little lime to squeeze on it was an excellent touch. The crisps was amazing. Hamachi grape and Hokkaido Uni: was an amazing mix of freshness, creamy hamachi flavour, sweetness of grape, creamy Uni and a great vinegary sauce. Perhaps my favourite dish of the night. Pineapple and kombu was a unique adventure I've never been on. Delicate slices of pineapple topped by crunchy kombu was a unique experience. Iberico pork collar served as a wrap and once again with the little lime was fantastic. Unctuous sweet pork with a generous portion surrounded by crisp lettuce and the acid of the lime was great. Drinks were also fantastic. Service was also amazing and attentive. You can tell the server is experienced with high end dining as the precision and timing of service was on point. Fast, observant, friendly. After finding out where he worked before it totally made sense. Overall a great restaurant. We will be back a lot. Decor was nice with a modern feel. Fitting for a restaurant of this calibre.

We swapped pork collar for scallop inari due to dietary restrictions. A lot of the dishes felt familiar from the 10 course menu. Standouts were: - Ensaymada with truffle butter: the bread was soo soft and fluffy and the honey exterior was just perfect with the whipped truffle butter. HIGHLY recommend adding the buratta. It was cold and creamy with the delicious scallion oil. - Charred Cauliflower: I know this is more of a side but the charred flavour qnd sweet sauce was great! - Miso Marscapone Bibingka: this tasted like gingerbread meets banana cake and was the perfect bite for the holiday season with the accompanying soft serve I would come back to Mineral, it's good value for the quality. I did feel like on my second visit the service wasn't as great. It took us a while to be seated and have our orders taken. The waiter also packed our leftovers for us and oddly packed the fish (which came with broth) in the same container as the side of rice so when we opened it up at home, we discovered the rice had soaked up all the broth.

If you like a little bit of spice it's good. You can always ask for more spice. Beef was tender and delicious. Baked beef and mushroom in black pepper sauce cooked with cheese spaghetti - It was good. Beef was very soft and tender and very flavourful. Deep fried tentacles - Texture was soft and chewy, not over cooked or under cooked. Batter was good, made to my liking at least. It was overall good. Service - It was very good.

They have paper menu on the table and also we can scan the table QR code to order online. They have different flavors of the fish noodle soup and choices of snacks. I had the tomato base fish noodle and my husband had the regular fish noodle soup which it was a bit spicy. I liked the Tomato base more because it has real tomato in it, not Tomato sauce, it was thicker than usual. We also got a side dish crispy fish skin, I had to mention that it was so good with noodle soup. It dipped into the soup for a few seconds, then took it out and tryouts. The crispy skin absorbed the soup and remained crispy. So delicious. They have other snacks and appetizers that I also want to try. But too full this time, definitely will go next time.
