Ni Asian Kitchen is located in Celebration at Six Forks Shopping Center. There was plenty of nearby parking. LoveFood named Ni Asian the best Chinese restaurant in North Carolina, Midtown Magazine gave it the Gold Diamond Award, and it's been a favorite on Nextdoor Neighborhood Faves. So I had to check out the hype, and it didn't disappoint. I enjoyed the positive messages all over the restaurant. It isn't fancy and has the hole-in-the-wall charm, which generally means amazing food. The restaurant has outdoor seating, booths in the front and another small dining area further back that you can't see from the front. They also seemed to have a pretty active takeout business. The menu is a mixture of Thai, Chinese and Vietnamese. The menu was larger than I expected, and they have $9.99 lunch options and $11.99 dinner options. I arrived before they opened and looked at the menu on the door. I decided on the Triple Delight, but it wasn't on the inside menu; they made it for me anyway. It was shrimp, chicken and beef with a mixture of veggies, and I got fried rice for an extra charge. It was delicious, and the flavors were great. The portion was large enough that I got three meals from it. They offer plenty of teas, but others in the group wanted coffee, which they do not offer. They do offer Coke products. Service was friendly and attentive. I look forward to my next meal here. read more

I've seen a lot of discourse around Ni Asian Kitchen. This is a fan favorite for many and understandably so. The lunch prices are great and portion sizes solid. I wouldn't classify this as your typical Chinese American restaurant - though you will find popular CA dishes here. Be forewarned they don't cook with pork (I.e. pork fried rice is not an option). I experienced an aftertaste that seem to indicate the slurry wasn't cooked long enough (assuming that it what I experienced). Also it veered a tad bit too sweet for my palate. Service was efficient.

I have to say about this little gem, I've been cheating myself. Why is it that I moved to my current location in 2021, and never think to look at places on Six Forks Road? Maybe it's because I lived in Wake Forest, maybe it's because I work there still, IDK, but I've glad I can make up for lost time now. A friend wanted to meet for lunch and suggested this place. Funny thing, he got the orange chicken and didn't really like it. It is VERY orangey. I got one of the other lunch specials, I think maybe the beef basil one. Mine was good, so good in fact that a few weeks later when my family was needing an Asian fix, I sent them to Ni Asian. They were pleased, but got Chinese food. Last week, my daughter and I went, and wow, yes, WOW............I got the noodle dish listed first on menu (not a lunch special), ad it was good, but my daughter got the Pad See Ew, something I have never ordered, being a Drunken Noodle fan myself..........but I tasted hers, and it was so good, I was jealous. So, yeah, we went AGAIN yesterday, she got the Pad See Ew again, and I tried the Drunken Noodles, which were amazing..........not spicy like I'm used to getting, but so flavorful. What will I try next? read more

Love their Spicy Korean wings and the lettuce wraps are delicious! Everything is always delicious and the staff is great too!

Met my son here for lunch. Tiny place with only about four booths but we were seated immediately. Service was fast and friendly. We both ordered the Thai Basil Chicken lunch portion with brown rice, mine mild and son's extra spicy. It was delicious and a good sized portion for lunch. The spice level was perfect for me and it was served temperature hot. Chicken was tender and lean. Look forward to trying more dishes here. read more

Ni Asian Kitchen - Chinese Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

After 3pm they only do takeout. WTF. Nothing about that on their site, Yelp, or anywhere else.

Ordered for lunch my order was prepared quickly and the portion was generous! I'll be back soon

Just be aware they will not keep orders from different parties separate. It is all one check and you can use up to 3 different cards. Not ideal for people who have adult beverages and those who don't. Not sure why they can't keep checks separate. read more

Will go back. Only thing is asked for medium spice level, ended up being mild so needed chili oil. Only take out after 3:00 p.m. but outside seating is quiet. read more

Started going to Ni's pre COVID/ 2019. It was great - why? Not greasy, fresh ingredients, great service (family worked then) and was then the best Asian food we found in Raleigh. Then the business had to change with the shutdowns but I'm so glad this small business survived and adapted. So, here we are,mid 2026 and while they have adapted to take out only after 3PM all I got to say - they still don't disappoint. Food not greasy, fresh ingredients, great service and aim to please the customer. Same family but the boys got a lot bigger Friday nights order was for the Pork Egg Rolls - Fantastic!!! Reminds me of the egg rolls I grew up in Chicago from the infamous China Chef but a little smaller. They are the best egg rolls in Raleigh and best I've had in 50 years!!! Wife loves the Tom Kha soup w Chicken. Not oily. Flavorful. The House Fried Rice is the best I've had in 30 years in Raleigh. The Spicy Korean Combo over Fried Rice is my personal new favorite. If ya want good, consistent and flavorful Asian (Korean, Thai, Chinese etc.) my vote and recommendation is for Ni's. Again after 3PM take out only but totally worth it in value, portion sizes and quality bar none. read more

One of the few Chinese around that are fresh every time! Take out orders are a good choice. Inside is a little small.

The service was amazing? Greeted when we walked in and server took our drink order immediately and left menus. We had the spicy Thai Yum soup with shrimp - do not skip this - it was delicious! We also had the lunch portions of the Mongolian beef (hubs) and I had the Thai basil with chicken. We both chose the brown rice. Very yummy- you cold tell there were lots of regulars coming and going as the servers and owner (?) spoke to them in recognition. When we come back to this area we will revisit. read more

So bomb! Wish they did combos w fried rice and an egg roll but still worth ordering anyway. Tender chicken, crispy fresh egg rolls and crab rangoons. Just good quality. Will def be back! read more

Worst Asian restaurant in the area! Food is just terrible. When asked if the restaurant provided military discounts, the waiter stated he would have to see my "little card thingy" Please show some respect for the men and women who serve! read more

We each had the Thai Cashew and Veggies. I wish I had gotten an extra order to go! Ni Asian has a smallish dining area. The bill was brought to us shortly before we stopped eating, but the staff were not over visiting the table to rush us. I left a double tip since we were there for over an hour during the lunch rush. Totally fair because, as I mentioned, there weren't many spaces available for eating in. I will definitely return to Ni Asian. read more

We visited Ni Asian Kitchen for a Wednesday lunch. It's a small restaurant with limited seating, so we ended up waiting about twenty minutes to get a table. Once seated, service was prompt, friendly, and efficient. Our server kept our drinks topped off as well as quickly handling our payment. We both enjoyed our egg roll appetizer. It was clearly made from scratch and although a little mushy in the center, it was very tasty. I tried the Singapore Rice Noodles with chicken. My dish was good, but it was definitely a bit on the dry side and the chicken was overcooked. My dining companion tried the lunch fried rice with chicken. The rice was flavorful and moist; it was very, very good. All in all, we were pleased with our experience with Ni Asian Kitchen. It's definitely a notch above most strip mall Asian restaurants. As an aside, Ni Asian Kitchen really reminds me of Red Pepper Asian on New Bern Avenue, from the menu choices down to the wooden paneling on the walls. We'll definitely go back. read more

Best Asian takeout in N. Raleigh area. Always fast, fresh and the staff is great! Can't go wrong with the classic menu items and the curry flavors are fantastic. read more

I love their soups and vegetables/ grilled meals. Stay away from anything fried like the General Tsos, and Thai Dynamite .. ugh really bad.

I have been frequenting this family owned restaurant business since it opened. It's very convenient, actually within a good walk, walking distance of my home. Food is always delicious and takeout is quick and easy. Usually ready in 10-15 min. Unfortunately, since C-19, they are only open for indoor seating until 3 pm. Takeout orders are available the rest of the day. I highly recommend this eatery! read more

I'm a die hard for this spot due to my allergies I've never had reaction plus they use fresh ingredients. Amazing staff that has navigated survived covid19 etc. Lunch hours only for dine in but they keep take away moving to military precision. Definitely do Spicy Korean Dumpling Ramen or any item to ur own tastes. See ya soon! read more

Ni Asian Kitchen - No WIFI! - Chinese Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

Ni is mostly a take out place and. It a sit in. So I can't say much about the ambiance. The staff quickly got our takeout order and the food came quickly. The food was good but it's average takeout at best. For me it's the place I would go to for convenience and not a planned destination. It could be on the go to list read more

I think this might be the best Chinese food I've ever had! That was my hook, now let me give you the details. I've never been able to sit down here because they stop doing dine in at 3pm. That could potentially be a draw back for some and I understand that. The good news? When you walk in and order take out, it takes less than 10 mins. As for the food, I might have to come back and add more to my review. They serve classic Chinese dishes as well as Thai. I've only had a few Chinese options thus far, so it's all I can speak on. That being said, everything I've had has been great. Their chicken with mixed vegetables has an excellent brown sauce. The flavors are powerful and delicious. They also don't skimp on the sauce, which is great. I also had their pot stickers and I loved them. I tasted the Lo mein and it was on the upper end of average. Still a good choice though! My favorite thing so far has been the sesame chicken. That sauce is out of this world good and so dynamic in flavor in comparison to your neighborhood sesame sauce. You know how sometimes the fried chicken that gets used is a little questionable at other places? Well not here. It was fresh and lightly fried. Lastly, I want to mention how good their prices are. You don't see that too often anymore. Dinner entrees are $10.95. I also want to point out that I got the kids meal sesame chicken and it was a great portion for me. Felt very satisfied after getting full off a meal that I paid $5.55 for. Definitely check this place out because they deserve all the love. Maybe they would open the dining room back up! read more

The Takoyaki and fried spring rolls were good. But the pork bulgogi was just bacon and over sauced.

Takeout tonight. Tasty but extremely greasy. Threw out my eggroll.Too greasy to eat. Possibly because it was Sunday night? I don't know. We had 4 entrées, and all were very greasy. read more

Came here with my friends for family style takeout on a Sunday night and it was mostly solid. We ordered the: Shrimp Lettuce Wraps Pot Stickers Crab Rangoon Pad Thai Dan Dan Noodle Thai Spicy Basil Fried Rice Sesame Chicken Orange Chicken Thai Ginger Beef with Only Broccoli Lo Mein The service was great and the food was fresh and ready to go when we arrived. It was a good experience with minor hiccups but overall solids. read more

I ordered from this restaurant for the first time today for lunch. I ordered online to-go. I had the bang bang shrimp, the wonton soup, and the pad see-ew. I'm sorry to say, I was very disappointed. The only thing I actually enjoyed was the bang bang shrimp. The sauce was amazing! The wonton soup and the pad see-ew were both flavorless. No matter how much I stirred and added soy sauce, it did not help. They were both just so bland. The staff were very friendly, however, and the restaurant was nice and clean. I'm not sure if I'll try them again or not. read more

Service was great! Staff are really nice! After 3pm it's takeout only, so we ordered sesame chicken and general tso's to go. When I tell you it tasted like a microwaved meal, I am not kidding. This was borderline gross. There, I said it. I'm sorry! I thought it would be good but no. The crab Rangoon is excellent, but the entrees were a slight step up from plastic. We will not be coming back read more

For years I have come to this restaurant and I have never been disappointed. Everyone who I introduce to this restaurant loves it too!! Highly recommend. read more

Went to Ni for lunch because I was working nearby. I prefer to order online and pay when I pick up rather than walking in and placing the order and waiting. They have limited indoor seating and pretty good outdoor seating. Upon walking in , they were very busy with patrons either waiting to be seated or pick up their orders. I placed my order and waited maybe 7-10 minutes when the same lady that took my order asked me if I was ready to order. When I told her I had replaced my order with her already, she looked flustered and turned around. My food was right there in front of her already. That said, the Hunan Chicken was sort of bland and underwhelming. The broccoli had too much crunch because they were too quick and didn't take the necessary time to cook. The ratings on Yelp are 4.3, but I didn't get a 4.3 star experience. read more

this was our first time ordering here (we ordered for dinner and they only do to go). Using their website was super easy and we got there in about 30 mins to pick up and the food was ready. We ordered a thai curry, house lo mein, kids sesame chicken and the korean spicy wings as an app. It came out to about $45 with tip. The portions were great and we had so much food left over! The lo mein was a gigantic portion and so yummy. The korean wings, even tho there was only 6, were also gigantic, hot, fresh, and super saucy! Highly recommend. They were not spicy to me. The curry was also delicious and the sesame chicken (kids portion) was great as well. Highly recommend! read more

Ni Asian Kitchen - Korean wings and house lo mein - Chinese Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

TLDR: Reasonably priced and portioned Asian food with great flavor. Takeout only after 3 pm. Easy online ordering and pick-up. Decent place for Asian cuisine in Raleigh! We decided to try out a new restaurant for Chinese and picked Ni Asian Kitchen. After 3 pm, they switch to takeout only. We placed a to-go order online. The website was easy to use and the entrees are customizable. I like how they offer choice of all protein options for each entree. Estimated pick up time was 30 min after placing the order. Our order was ready on time and accurate. They were booming on a Saturday evening. The tables were filled with takeout orders and a line of customers inside. I can see why they are popular. The menu is varied and affordable. Plus delicious with heathy and not-as-healthy options. We picked 5 entrees plus an appetizer which came to $70. We ordered orange chicken, sweet and sour chicken, Thai basil tofu, Dan Dan noodles with chicken, pot stickers, and vegetable lo mein. All of the items were good and included fresh veggies. The only item we did not like as much was the orange chicken. It lacked orange flavor and mainly tasted like green peppers. We were quickly satisfied and saved about half for leftovers. Overall, we had a good experience here and recommend this restaurant to others! read more

Delicious and freshly made, this is a great place for lunch or dinner. We had fantastic dishes and portions were good sizes. The orange beef is probably the best we've had in the triangle. Service was quick and friendly and this was a bigger space than it looks from the exterior. read more

Probably the best Asian food in the Raleigh area, in my opinion. Great lunch specials. Great portions. And timely and friendly service. Love this place. read more

Going strictly off of Google reviews, I tried to give this place a try. What a huge mistake. Takeout order was for Firecracker Shrimp, House Lo Mein, and Spicy Korean. The firecracker shrimp was soggy, breaded, oil-packed balls with barely perceptible amounts of shrimp. The Spicy Korean was absolute slop. ZERO spice, just a chow mein sauce soup over meats that had a thin layer of slime, and I don't even know how to describe the veggies, except, BAARRF! The Lo Mein saved the day, being the only edible portion of the order, but it was very mid. This is definitely going into the "Never Again" category. For the first time in my life, I threw Chinese food leftovers in the trash rather than put them in the fridge. UPDATE: in an effort to recover from this last experience, I decided to get some decent Asian food asap, so I wouldn't be discouraged from ordering this type of food again. Shout out to the Asian Hot Bar at Harris Teeter! Great beef and broccoli with fried rice! read more

Ni Asian Kitchen is good for the $ amount and good in a pinch, but besides that it's nothing to rave about. I've tried about 6 different dishes and haven't really been impressed by any of them. The crab rangoons have very little filling (got them twice and same deal both times). The wings have good flavor but no crisp and have definitely been frozen. The pad see ew had a bit of a weird flavor to it, same with the dan dan noodles. The Chinese food I've tried has been good. I would say skip the Thai dishes, opt for the Chinese dishes instead. read more

Though I have lived very close to the restaurant since well before it opened, I just had my first takeout back in November when several of us friends got together. It was awesome. And so today, knowing with the impending storm, I might not get out for a few days, I decided to treat myself to a late lunch/early dinner. So easy to order online. And for people like me who prefer to pay in cash, it's wonderful to have the option to pay at pickup rather than charging online (no, I don't use a debit card!). The sesame chicken was awesome. Generous portion. Order was ready quickly too. The only con is the fact that there is no parking in front (I'm handicapped). But, honestly, I doubt I will ever go to another Asian restaurant in Raleigh after finding this hidden gem! read more

First visit, I returned the food for a full refund. The General Tsao's chicken is all white meat and not crispy at all. Second visit, I ordered wonton soup. Go to my car and don't even make it to the stop light before I see it is spilling all over my passenger seat. The light turns green and I have no option but to dump it out to keep it from further soiling my car. A $4 soup that I didn't get to eat cost me over $100 to get my car cleaned. When I called to tell them that the top must not have been on properly, they couldn't care less. read more

Everything tastes fresh and specially prepared to order. Was a little disappointed that the bang bang shrimp didn't have a lot of bang, but the flavor as overall good. I like to order from here when I'm on my own for dinner, so it's a treat when I get to order from here! read more

Oh no. Maybe we caught them on a off day but unfortunately pretty much every dish we ordered to go was very bland and sadly disappointing. The only dish that did have decent flavor was the bang bang shrimp but even then, it was overly battered. The chicken pad Thai that I got had absolutely no flavor. I did not taste any tamarind which is part of the flavor profile for Pad Thai. In fact, it just tasted like stir fried noodles. I ended up adding soy sauce to my dish just to give it some flavor and I NEVER do that. My friend got the pad see ew which also was flavorless and extremely disappointing. Paying $12 per dish for bland, flavorless, oily noodles was sad. In fact, We had so much leftovers because we didn't feel like eating it and didn't even try to save the leftovers for another meal. We just called it a day and threw it away. I'm sad that Yelp steered me wrong with this restaurant. With its 4.5 stars I just expected so much better. Womp womp. Won't be returning. read more
