I used to love this restaurant and was a loyal customer for years, which makes this experience…read moreespecially disappointing. I ordered the lo mein, bamboo flounder fish, and a side of fried rice. Unfortunately, the lo mein was extremely greasy, the fried rice was overly salty, and the shrimp was hard, overcooked and not fresh. When I informed the waiter that I would not be eating the lo mein due to its condition, I was told that I would still have to pay for it and that it did not matter whether I liked it or not. He initially refused to remove the dish from my bill. After eventually taking it off, he told me that he never wanted to see my face again as I was leaving. What disappoints me most is that I genuinely enjoyed this restaurant and had been a repeat customer. The decline in food quality combined with the way my concerns were handled has left a very negative impression. Unfortunately, I will be taking my business elsewhere.

I came right before a show at the Alamo Drafthouse around the corner, which makes it the perfect night out for dinner and show. It looks like a lot of people order takeout here, but they have ample tables and do offer an excellent dine in service. I loved their green beans and eggplant. All their food felt more authentic and homestyle than your typical run of the mill Chinese place. The food had flavor, and it wasn't overly greasy either! I'll definitely come back next time in near north Raleigh.

Imperial Garden Chinese Restaurant is located in the Greystone Shopping Center in Raleigh, on the…read moreleft side of Food Lion. Imperial Garden has long been my go-to place for Chinese food, but over my last few visits, I have noticed that the quality of the meat has gone down The restaurant layout is split into two rooms. The first room features booths and an elevated seating section, while the second room has tables for larger groups. The decor is simple and traditional. The service here is still very good. Although I haven't gotten my favorite waitress during my last few visits, she made a point to come over and talk to me this last time. She even remembered my exact order and that I like it prepared without onions, which I truly appreciated! Unfortunately, the beef itself seemed a little rubbery. A few of the pieces were completely fine, so I am not sure whether the meat was just overcooked or had sat under a heat lamp too long before being served. The fried rice seemed better than ever, though, as was the eggroll. I think I will need to start trying some new vegetarian or alternative dishes here on my next visits to avoid the meat, as I still really enjoy the local atmosphere and excellent service.

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.

I have to say about this little gem, I've been cheating myself…read more 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?

The owner/only person working was friendly as well, and told me I would like his chicken. I ordered the general tso chicken with fried rice and crab rangoon. My total was around $35 and the food was super hot and fresh and big enough to feed 2. The crab rangoons came in a bag of 6 and were crispy, big, and full of filling. They were so good and filling and honestly my favorite crab rangoon I've had from any spot around here. Each bite was great. The chicken was in fact so delicious and so tender. Each piece was good and there were no weird stringy or crusty pieces of chicken. The sauce was so flavorful and I loved the dish. 10/10 takeout!! Update: After finishing leftovers I can say this will be my new go-to takeout spot

"Social Media made me do it"…read more Fu Kee Express does a lot of things correctly. I visited during lunch hours, so I avoided long lines and dinner rush. Owner was personable, kind, and very nice. This is not a dine in restaurant - be prepared for takeout only. Prices are higher than typical. Food was solid. Egg rolls better than most and not greasy. Pork fried rice very, very good. Rice is yellow (perhaps food coloring?) and delicious. I typically order no egg, no peas, no carrots, and add bean sprouts. Disappointed they don't offer bean sprouts, but I'm also tempted to add veggies upon next visit. Overall, rice was delicious. My biggest letdown was garlic shrimp and veggies. Shrimp were large - but slightly overcooked. Veggies also overcooked. Flavor fell a tad bit flat. I'm guessing it was me, and perhaps I had a bad day (which, IMO, affects flavor). I would definitely try again if I'm in the area. Fast casual Chinese: 3.7

I was really surprised that even at that hour the whole restaurant was busy. The interior was stunning!! I loved the lighting fixtures and drappy curtains. I would say that I didn't like that they dimmed the lights sooo low that I could barely see my food or my friend across the table. There's mood lighting and then there's "I can't see lighting" and it was definitely the latter, which I didn't care for. The food was absolutely amazing!!!! 10 out of 10, the staff was also incredible! Can't wait to come back for more! My favorite was the Pork & Chive Shumai (dumplings with caviar) it was my first time trying caviar and I loved it. I didn't like the seafood dumplings as much as I expected. They were really good.
