    Found the DFH while in the neighborhood. Had no idea it was here. I would rank this one above the 3 in Raleigh. Super well taken care, great selections of foods, drinks, and desserts. Indoor, outdoor, and what appeared to be luxury space to sit and imbibe. Patty Boy - My Goodness! Quite possibly the best "greasy spoon" burger around! Will for sure be back!

    This place was SO GOOD. The only downside is there's so much to try and I'm only here one time. We decided to try the bakery, where we watched them make these goods in person (this only compelled us to buy more). Then we went to ex voto (not pictured) and got the Crunchwrap, SO GOOD!!! Finally, we tried the corner Yaki place and got bahn mi and cucumber salad. Bahn mo was INSANE. the cucumber salad was ok. Overall, great experience, the place was very cute

    Chorizo Crunch Wrap

    Many different places to choose from inside this fabulous food hall. We chose the crunch wrap place X-Voto... The crunch wrap was amazing. I had the chorizo one. Their crunch wrap puts Taco Bells to shame! Gotta try one!

    Pizza!!!

    Great food hall with lots of delicious and diverse options! There are about ~10 vendors - Chinese dumplings and bao buns, tacos, bagels, Napolitan pizza, Indian, seafood, and a large bar in the middle. On the upper level (there's a ramp), there are a few vendors- baked goods/dessert, coffee, and bubble tea. The Napoli Neapolitan pizza paired with the cider from the bar was an epic meal! Napoli Neapolitan pizza (5/5) - The wood-fired Neapolitan DOC Buffalo Margharita pizza with a pillowy soft charred crust hit the spot! It's among the best pizzas I've had in the U.S.! I waited for 20 min to get my pizza, just be patient! Auctioneer Bar (5/5) - The Flat Rock CIder has a strong note of blueberries was sweet and refreshing! The Hibiscus cocktail with Bourbon was fun to try, but not my cup of tea. The bartender was super nice! It's also part of the Social District, so you can get drinks to go! Milk Lab (4/5) - The berry smoothie was very colorful, but very sweet even at 50% sweetness. Little Barb's Bakery (3/5) - While the pastries looked alluring and very tempting, I wasn't a big fan of the cheesecake bite. Among my favorite food halls in the country and will stop by again when I'm in the area!

    Totally love the vibe in Durham Food Hall! Live entertainment, family friendly, hipster and modern, artistic and cool vibe! They have a seafood retail that sells local grown oysters. Wednesday is $2 oysters! The Yakisoba Asian Fusion counter with lotus style bao buns. They have an Italian place and a curry place plus the bakery and the coffee shop. I walked around taking in all the lovely smells. I want to taste it all.

    I went to the Durham food hall for the first time! I had patty boy it was a great burger and tots! It was made to order and didn't take long at all. The tots and ranch were absolutely homemade and amazing. It's a nice ambiance inside with lots of options for seating. A good amount of choices but not too many to be overwhelming. Everyone i interacted with was nice and helpful! I'll be back

    Fun place to go if people want different food items. They had a really good Napoleon pizza a Japanese place seafood Mexican and Indian. There's also a bubble tea place and a bar in the middle. My only Quam is it's a little expensive drinks were running around $12 And my boyfriends want dinner was 23 without table service.

    Resting Cuke Face - cucumber vodka, mint, lemon, soda. Very refreshing!

    I've been here before, so I'm not sure where previous reviews went. The bar service is still my favorite place for late-afternoon drinks with wifi. Covered parking deck for retail, several food options, and always cheerful bar staff. The open two-story area over the bar gives a modern semi-brutalist feeling, with a faux-concrete bar and sheet metal work surfaces behind. There are always great smells here, any it varies by time of day depending on which venue is cooking. But I'm busy writing right now, and enjoying my drink. Maybe I'll see you here some afternoon and we can chat a bit more?

    What a great food hall! Two things really stuck out for me. 1) the use of the space is really cool. It's not that big, but it flows well and it's unique and quirky. It ties in the building really well. 2) the variety of the foods is excellent. Again, not the biggest food hall, but they have such a great selection of foods. I'm sure there's more, but I saw pizza, Italian, Mexican, sandwiches, noodles, burgers and on. There's something for everyone. And like 17 things for me. We ate at old north and I had a great burger. We sat at the bar in the middle and I picked up a NC ipa with the burger. Great service and decent beer selection at the bar.

    Is it street parking only?

    There is a parking deck around the corner of the same building. Take your parking ticket to the main bar inside and they will validate it for you.

    Is there outdoor seating?

    Yes, there are tables on the sidewalk out front but it is first-come first-served.

My favorite spots are JBs (although they tend to make my salads often without following my order...). Their salmon is incredible though. The sashimi bowls are very good and the sushi as well. I love the stir fry station but depending on who serves you, you may not get many veggies. Sprout is advertised as healthy but their food is drenched in oil and sauce. The crepe station is good if you're in the mood. Farmstead also has some good options. Most other things you get at this cafe are overpriced. For salads, I'd recommend il forno since it's the cheapest option and you get unlimited toppings. Il forno also has good pastas and pizzas. For pasta, I'd recommend asking for less sauce since otherwise it comes DRENCHED. gluten free pasta and gluten free pizza crust available. Whole wheat pasta also apparently available although they're always "out". ABP is good on occasion for soup or salad. The food isn't very high quality but cheap. The commons is a rip off. The food is terrible and you pay way too much.

They opened relatively recently in the past year, and accept student points and credit cards; you do not need to be a student or have a student ID to eat here. They are open 11am-8pm Monday through Sunday. The food: so many diverse options available! There's American food, Southern comfort food, pizza, Italian, Indian, Japanese (poke bowls and ramen!), a sushi bar, and even a full-service steak house on the top floor (go for dinner only though -- I wouldn't recommend going there for their lunch buffet at all). The portions in general are big and definitely filling. There are drink machines available, but they are more health conscious and do not have your typical soft drinks. That's not usually a problem for me, as I have a water bottle anyway. There's plenty of open-seating available everywhere, with some areas offering outlets so that you can work while you eat. Seats are easier to find if you avoid the lunch hour rush, though, which typically occurs around 11:30am-noon. Even with the lunch hour rush, lines generally move pretty quickly. I enjoy the variety of food options available all conveniently located in one place. While this isn't a restaurant that'll blow your mind away, it is a great option given the beautiful building, variety of options available, large portions, and student-friendly prices. This is a great place to eat if you're on campus.

Not so positive: parking can be tough, the lot is always packed. I think it is a shared lot because the restaurant was pretty empty during my visit today. i have visited twice now (jan 2026 & may 2026) and i order a decent amount of food for the table to share. Both times, every plate has been room temperature. Thats super disappointing especially since the Korean dishes we ordered are typically served very hot (and in clay pots). It would be fine if my food was even remotely warm, but that hasnt been the case for either of my visits. Our food took a very long time to come out, which would have also been fine had the food came out hot, so i am wondering why it took so long to send out cold food? Also, for some reason there was a strong odor of some sort permeating through the beer hall. I couldnt place what it was but it was not pleasant for me. I feel like i am rarely sensitive to smells but i had to spritz a perfume to mask it. It might've just been a cleaning product or something, not sure. Something to note is that you have to pay for the banchan here. This is typically served with your meals for no additional cost as they are considered 'essential' to your meal. So a charge for them was surprising for me.

Sometimes, these are not available, however. | Full Review My girl & I have been here multiple times to buy ingredients for Asian dishes. We often get fresh salmon and shrimps from the seafood section, and we appreciate how seafood here are generallt cheaper compared to H-Mart in Cary. However, H-Mart is still more reliable overall when it comes to other products like kimchi, Korean side dishes, marinated meats, and various other Asian products. Unlike H-Mart's Korean focus, Li Ming's is primarily Chinese, so it's more line Grand Asia Market in Raleigh. One good thing we like in Li Ming's over Grand Asia is that it's less crowded and more spacious areas. Although it can get crowded here at times, it doesn't feel as congested as Grand Asia's constant overflow of customers coming and going. However, when it comes to the different goods you can get from Grand Asia's restaurant/cafe/bakery, Li Ming's Global Mart falls short. All you can get in Li Ming's are mostly mediocre-tasting Chinese food that goes well with rice and some noodle bowls that may be too salty to some people. The bakery inside Li Ming's is nice; we used to buy egg tarts and curry bread here. It's no Tours les Jours but it's not bad. They also offer boba milk tea but we wouldn't recommend it. As for the canned/preserved/frozen foods in the grocery section, generally, we prefer Korean brands over Chinese ones, so overall, we still prefer going to H-Mart for buying Asian products. Just like in H-Mart, we've seen unfriendly customer service in Li Ming's but no major issues. The most problematic one was when we tried to dine-in and get the 3 choices of food with white rice, and the lady serving had an attitude, and did'nt put enough fish on our plate. | Overall Score: 3.3/5
