Beers are priced well, too. Super strict parking is what everyone is saying. If you're lucky enough to get a parking spot in the parking lot, you have 2 hours to do your business and leave, otherwise you get ticketed or towed. This is not a knock on the restaurant, but it did stick in the back of my head throughout dinner and didn't allow me to fully relax. The service was slow when we went. Seating too about 30 minutes, and then another 10-15 before we had drinks (2 waters and a beer) and gave our order. This is where we waited... and waited. I finished my beer while we were waiting. Roughly 30 minutes before our dishes were at our table. So by this time, we're an hour and 15 minutes into our 2 hour parking. Being from out of town, I didn't know how strict they were, but that was the talk of the "people" around us. And we just got our food. The dishes were decently sized. You see them in the pictures. We didn't order anything out of the ordinary from traditional Thai food - bunch of noodles and seafood. The taste was good and it arrived piping hot. You were able to taste each of the flavors of the ingredients even though they're all cooked together, so that was nice. I'm from out of state, but I would come back here and hope that it's not a slow night. The food was good, it is just my first time here and waiting over an hour just didn't sit well with me.

It was a short walk from our lovely hotel (the Carolina Inn), but started raining when we first walked out the door so we called an uber which was a very short ride. We were seated right after arriving and I had a nice glass of wine and my daughter a diet coke a few minutes later. The menu looked like a sharing type of meal so we opted for: - pork & chive dumplings: yum - spring rolls: tasty, but my stomach (as always) regretted the fried food the next day - bento box: the hit of the meal - shaking beef: i thought pretty good, but my daughter wasn't a huge fan The service was good and the food was brought out at the perfect pace. While I'm sure their dessert is yummy we opted to walk down Franklin street and enjoy some Ben & Jerry's after dinner since the weather had cleared up.

Service was outstanding throughout our visit, and Lantern's softly lit, intimate setting makes it the perfect spot for a date night or just to escape the Carolina heat. Everything about our visit was wonderful, and the prices were more than reasonable for a meal of this caliber. An amazing find in Chapel Hill!

The main reason for my score is that I ordered a shrimp tempura roll (specifically the Spicy 9 Roll), expecting the tempura shrimp to have been freshly fried and to be crunchy, like every other shrimp tempura roll I've ever had. Instead, the entire roll was cold, including the "seared beef" on top, which was also overcooked and chewy. The only other ingredient in the roll is avocado, so it ended up being a completely cold roll with very little texture. The crab wontons, however, were very good; very crunchy, hot, with a great amount of filling, and I really loved the sauce. The waitress was very nice. I asked her about the roll, and she explained that's how it's made, so keep that in mind if you order it: the beef and tempura shrimp are not served hot.

Wheat (麦茶）was just the place for us. Quiet and unassuming. We started with the scallion pancake appetizer and ordered beef noodle soup and dan dan noodles for main courses.

The staff were very accommodating of our requests (extra cabbage and no egg in the beef soup) and added osmanthus flowers to our hot oolong tea brew - delightful! Ended with a delicate coconut flavored tofu pudding that we both loved. We'll make a point of stopping in at Wheat whenever we return to the Chapel Hill area - we hope soon.

I was at the owners were there so have some time I have a conversation with them and they were super nice and friendly. Let us walk around the entire shop and answer all questions and total some history. It's a college vibe but not an undergrad vibe if that makes any sense. You may see some grass students or whatever the case may be, but you wouldn't find a bunch of 19-year-olds piled up in this kind of spot. It used to be small apparently but they expanded it out to a back room and an attic kind of situation. It seems like a attic kickback kind of spot. Really homish or something you will find in a living room. It made it on the top list of speakeasies on Yelp so I had to check it out while I was in the area. I would 100% recommend.

Walking up to the bar it's a bit hard to find, but look for the wooden sign that says "Belltree" off of Brewer Lane than you've located this bar. Walking into the bar you'll feel like you've walked into a grown up, local, and upscale speakeasy. For my drink I ordered the last word cocktail (house gin, luxardo maraschino, green chartreuse, and lime juice). The drink was excellent and the bartender explained how rare it is to find a bar with green chartreuse as it became a huge staple during the pandemic. Overall this bar was good, and definitely worth checking out for a drink or two.
