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.

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

Heads up, the parking lot is kind of small. However, it's not too far from Duke's campus. You can order by kiosk, and sit wherever you'd like and the food came out quickly. The soup noodles were really good! They were well-sized and very flavorful. I also ordered the noodles, which were a decent portion, but didn't really stand out to me as anything special.I think the best part of Nan Xiang was the drinks. I loved the mango pomelo sago. The sago was perfectly tender and the drink wasn't too sweet. Honestly, there were so many drink options, and it was so hard to pick just one. Overall, I liked Nan Xiang express for a quick and convenient option.

We sampled a nice cross-section of the menu, including Wonton Soup, Hot & Sour Soup, Pork Siu Mai, Wontons in Spicy Peanut Sauce, and of course the Nan Xiang Signature Pork Soup Dumplings (see photos). Every dish was flavorful and well prepared, with the soup dumplings easily stealing the show. We had just returned from New York City, where we enjoyed soup dumplings at one of the most famous spots around, so our expectations were high. Impressively, the dumplings here at Nan Xiang Express -- right in North Carolina -- were every bit as satisfying. Ordering was done at the front kiosks, and from that point on the service was excellent. The staff was friendly and welcoming throughout, with plenty of smiling faces that made the experience even more enjoyable. We're very much looking forward to coming back to explore more of the menu, and we're also excited to try the brand-new location that just opened in Raleigh. Highly recommended.
