Spicy chicken mini's & Juicy buns (12 pc.)
Amaryllis K.

I love dumplings! I always see Chirba Chirba Dumplings around NC and heard how popular they are. I think this is my 2nd time having them and I got the 12 pc mix of their juicy buns and spicy chicken mini's. They gave me a lot of the chicken mini's! They were good and I think they're not overly spicy, just a nice lil' kick to them. I had high hopes of their juicy buns since it's a soup dumpling, but there wasn't much broth in the buns. Besides that, the juicy buns were still flavorful and tasty. I grabbed 2 of their dipping sauces, garlic sesame and Chirba spicy. Both did not disappoint!

Food Wrapped in Food! Who's in? I'm a sucker for dumplings of any kind whether they're Russian, Italian, Polish or Asian. (the RIPA of dumpling lore). Raviolis, Pierogies, Gyoza are all amazing and I, like many others could make a meal out of these sealed pouches of flavor. Some dumplings can be bland, but the kind folks at Chiba Chiba made sure these had a lot of flavor. I tried the Pork and the Veggie and all were good. The staff was friendly and others around me eating dumplings hunched over also seemed to be enjoying. This is a food truck, so good luck finding it. Instead of driving up and down every street screaming "Here Chirba Chirba", they may have a social media page that tells you where they're gone be slinging their dumplings like an angry bird at a green pig.

Juicy buns

Pretty tasty dumplings if you're craving them. I swung by the food truck and ordered a medium (12) Juicy Buns. It didn't take long for the food to come out and they wrapped them in tin foil to keep them warm while you move to your eating spot. They only had 2 sauces to choose from when I visited, a garlic sauce and a spicy sauce. The lady who took my order was friendly as she took my order and it didn't take long at all for the buns to come out. I recommend giving them a try if you see them out and about!

Pork juicy dumplings

It's good but pricey for dumplings! I think their most popular one-the juicy dumplings are the best. My sister had mini chicken dumplings, which were dry and mushy- not good unfortunately. I think I spent $8 or so on my dish. This food truck has been around for a long time and always has a long line! But a key of advice is that you want to pick the juicy buns!

Truck

Good truck overall. I'm always on the lookout of where they are posting up for the day/weekend/event. I've been ordering from them for years and fell in love with their Juicy Buns (XLB/soup dumplings). Not 100% authentic but pretty close and pretty damn good that you have a craving for them. The staff is always kind and friendly and they make sure your needs are met. They also offer noodles and other dumplings, but the star of the show is by far their juicy buns. A big plus are the sauces to choose from: Chirba Spicy (not hot-hot), black vinegar, garlic sesame, and pineapple curry. Highly recommend.

My favorite food truck in the area! Sometimes I'll go out of my way to drive to whatever city they're in. A little pricey but 100% worth it. The chicken dumplings and glass noodles are my favorite.

Juicy Buns & Bok to the Future dumplings with the Spicy Glass noodles!! Chirba spicy sauce. All good!!
Ashlee J.

I LOVE this food truck!!! My co-workers know that I will be on an extended lunch when they come around... because the line is always long. I always order two sets of dumplings, this time the Juicy Buns and Bok to the Future with the Chirba spicy and Black Vinegar dipping sauces. I also ordered the spicy glass noodles but they are a tad bit dry. I always end up eating my dumplings first and then adding the remainder of the dipping sauces to the glass noodles and they're still good. Price is a little high, I end up paying $20 for lunch for 12 dumplings and the glass noodles; it's how I treat myself so I don't mind the pricing. The Juicy Buns dumplings were really good surprise. I could not imagine the concept of a dumpling with broth in it but they are juicy, of course, full of flavor and good with the dipping sauces I had. I typically go for the Bayside Chive dumplings but they were out this go round. The Bok to the Future dumplings were a good substitute with the Black Vinegar dipping sauce; I didn't even miss the chives dumplings. Most people don't sit around and eat their food near the truck and if you're not a sitter, ask for an additional piece of foil to cover your food with when you get it. We will meet again Chirba!

I mean, I like their sticker collection
Heather A.

The only thing cool about this food truck is all the stickers they have advertising other local businesses. Chirba Chirba comes to Perimeter Park for Food Truck Tuesdays and this will be the last time I eat with them. :( They had only 2 dumpling options and basically 1 side option. I got the juicy buns since that one is their most popular 'apparently'. They were watered down, runny and bland dumplings. I paid for 12 to make it a full meal. Yeah, nothing worth raving about at all. Best to just admire the food truck from afar...

I just can't believe all these good reviews after I went to Peony for lunch about 1 pm on Thursday…read more There was not another soul in the restaurant save two employees. I ordered poke. It was mostly rice mixed with sad iceberg lettuce ( mixed greens ) and the toppings were skimpy. For $18 this was disappointing. It was supposed to have three proteins. I added radish, crunchy onion and edamame. It was sad. In addition to the toppings I ordered there was a bunch of ginger and a marble-sized glob of wasabi hiding in the mix. Glad I avoided being surprised by that. I took the photo after I'd eaten so you can see how much rice was still in the bowl. The waiter was super sweet. He'd do better at another job. I'll stick to Zen Fish. There everything is fresh and vibrant and the choices are more exciting. Plus, their mixed greens are actually 'mixed greens'.

I really wanted to like this place but there were too many things working against it during our…read morevisit, even though I had a gift certificate. First of all, the AC was not working on the night we visited so things did not get off to a great start. It was warm in the dining area. The lighting was dark (maybe to not add to the heat). We enjoyed our Thai ice teas and seaweed salad appetizer but found our entrees (angel hair special and marine couple) just okay -- nothing special. The scallops in the marine couple were pretty tasteless. The owner came by and chatted with us a little bit, which is always nice. We've had tastier food at other local Asian restaurants so we'll probably pass on coming back soon. We wish them well.

It's nice and cozy feel to the restaurant! The food was so fresh and delicious. Everything we order was up to par delicious and so filling Run now do not walk. Thank you for the hospitality and delicious food!

Our go-to dim sum spot near Chapel Hill!…read more This is a wonderful family-run restaurant that blends modern simplicity with traditional charm. The staff are incredibly friendly and hardworking, and the atmosphere feels both welcoming and authentic. All items are affordable and with reasonable prices! It's the only legit dim sum place near Chapel Hill/Carrboro, about a 25-minute drive for us--and we gladly make the trip almost every week. We simply can't get enough of their food! Warning: Everything on their menu is dangerously addictive. You've been warned! Our Favorites 2. Pork Dumpling (Siu Mai / Siomai) -- Steamed pork in a wonton wrapper, perfectly juicy with just the right balance of pork and vegetables in every bite. A delicious classic done right. 6. Beef Onion Dumpling in Chili Sauce -- One of the best dumplings we've had--and we've been to dim sum spots all over the world! The beef is flavorful and juicy, wrapped in a thin, perfectly chewy skin. The chili sauce complements the filling beautifully without overpowering it. Generous portion, amazing value, flawless execution. 9. Steamed BBQ Pork Bun -- Soft, fluffy buns filled with mildly sweet BBQ pork. Comforting, classic, and delicious every time. 11. Egg Yolk Bun -- Lightly sweet custard filling inside soft steamed buns. The perfect bite of dessert to end your dim sum feast. 16. Bean Skin Stuffed with Pork -- Juicy, lightly seasoned pork wrapped in delicate bean skin. Flavorful but not overpowering--simple and satisfying. 27. Crispy Shrimp Ball -- Juicy and lightly seasoned shrimp goodness inside a crispy ball. They disappeared into the void of my stomach as soon as they touched our table. 28. Crispy Taro Puff with Chicken -- Think of these as bite-sized empanadas with savory, well-seasoned chicken inside--like the best mini chicken pot pies! Crispy, flavorful, and completely addictive. I could easily eat 30 of these! 41. Crispy Beef Onion Pot Sticker -- Pan-fried to golden perfection for that satisfying crunch. The beef and chives inside are juicy and flavorful, and the portions are generous. I dream about these dumplings when I'm asleep. Absolute perfection. Take all my money! The Finishing Touch Dim sum is meant to be enjoyed with tea, and they offer a simple traditional brew that pairs beautifully with every dish. If there's one downside--it's that they're only open Friday through Sunday. We wish they were open all week! Everything on their menu is so good! Best Dimsum and service in Durham!

Perhaps one of my favorite hotpot spots in the triangle area. This spot is slightly smaller than…read moretheir Cary sister location and therefore on weekends the wait time can get up to 40-45 minutes at peak times (6-7pm). I don't think they allow reservations, it's just first come first serve or I think you can also call ahead to put yourself on a wait list. Fantastic ambiance, really attentive service and fresh ingredients. It's not all you can eat, you order by plate. Which is nicer, you don't feel so bloated after eating there because you can portion control easier, and it's more cost effective. I'm personally a big fan of their beef cuts, tripe, lamb, even some more niche cuts like the ox aorta are good too. The side dishes are great too. Particularly a fan of their fried rice cakes. Highly recommend coming here for hotpot!

But the downside for me was that there were not an all you can eat option so if you wanna try a little bit of everything it may cost you more than you'd like. The broth we got was far too spicy for my taste and we chose a mild so unless you can handle a lot of spice I recommend the lower option below mild. But the meat was very good. I also enjoyed the potato appetizer the most! Definitely my favorite thing there. And the Thai tea was perfect for me! Now the service for me was okay not the best service I've had. Just wish it felt more friendly. But overall this place was okay I wouldn't go out of my way but if I was nearby I may stop in.

authentic chinese food with very yummy noodles. tasty double cooked pork and chilled cucumbers…read more service was amazing as well

My parents have been to Asian Kitchen several times already but I was able to visit with them for…read morethe first time about a week ago! While their noodles are definitely a standout in terms of texture and chew, some of the dishes we ordered this time were a letdown... Between the three of us, we tried two noodle dishes (hand pulled noodles with spare ribs & shaved noodles with bean paste aka zha jiang mian) and two regular dishes that came with rice (eggplant with garlic sauce & Hunan roasted pork aka hong shao rou). Outside of the regular menu that comes in a giant booklet, we also ordered the salted egg yolk lava buns off of their separate dim sum menu. In terms of the good, I absolutely LOVED the texture of the shaved noodles and also really enjoyed the texture of the hand pulled noodles, though I personally prefer a wider noodle which would be the shaved ones. Additionally, the eggplant with garlic sauce was solid and so were the salted egg yolk lava buns! Now in terms of the not so great, while we understand that Hunan roasted pork comes with pork belly which can be fatty, many of the pork belly pieces in this dish were pretty much all fat with no lean meat (basically inedible) which I have not seen in this dish at other restaurants. Also, the sauce that came with the shaved noodles was very one dimensional and just tasted of sweet bean paste with very little savory / umami flavor.
