    Service is great! Drinks were delicious. We got the Mango Milktea with boba and mango jelly, and Dirty Tiger milktea. We also ordered popcorn chicken and the tofu snack.

    Dirty Tiger
    Kimberly G.

    Loved this place my friend took me too. It was in a shopping center with plenty of parking (Also a brand new Barnes and noble & Trader Joe's- Big plus!) I loved the music choice they were playing and their food and drinks were a really nice treat! Quick and easy snacks a delicious drinks. Their tiger milk is a must try.

    Thai chili Popcorn Chicken
    Cool P K.

    Our friend recommended this place and we enjoyed Tiger tea and pop corn chicken it last time. Tiger tea was good but still a bit sweet even with 25% digest. So we decided to come again and tried online order for Tiger dirty tea and thai chili popcorn chicken. The chili popcorn is great. Tiger dirty tea is perfect with a bit of brown sugar. Suggestion is not to order food online at all because you will still need to get in line to inform staff. Nothing on the order confirmation page says that customers are required to do so. Don't waste your time.

    We have been here quite a few times and always charmed by its interior designs, tasty drinks, as well as friendly service staff. My parents wanted to try something new this time, so they went for some more fancy matcha latte and milk tea drinks, and I opted for my usual fav. The lady helping us was super sweet and patient. And we all loved our drinks.

    Really good popcorn chicken plate  & boba

    Pretty good. I would come back again. Fries portion was great. As for boba me and my son both enjoyed ours.

    first off wow, the people here were amazin. zen presentations beautiful very patient with helping select and try out the Boba. people skills and customer service made everyone feel welcome all different ages and skin shades very free

    Caramel Milky Way
    Christine W.

    The caramel Milky Way is very sweet! Looks prettier in person than in the picture tho. It's got cream, pudding, boba, and milk--all good things. Service is always good- cashier is usually quite friendly. People working hard to cook the meals are also kind when they bring out the food. The whole vibe of the place has changed over time but it's good.

    Oolong milk tea
    Hung L.

    The milk tea plain, the boba is not fresh even though I purchased the drink around 11 am. The cup looks cheap and the straw is too small that you cant suck up the boba at all. Quite disappointed.

    So good! We got the Dirty Tiger and Strawberry Oolong Tea. This place is cute and service was very fast! Reasonable prices as well! It's in a busy strip mall where Trader Joe's is so parking can be a bit busy but worth it!

    Spiced Chai for the win!
    Mo F.

    Another cute tea house (and it has a prime location between two of my favorite places to be - Barnes & Noble and Trader Joe's!!!!). The Spicy Chai (regular milk, regular sweetener) was so delicious! The decor was nice, especially the swing in the back near the pickup area. Quick service too in spite of the place being nearly full. I enjoyed my beverage and will definitely be visiting this location again.

    Since rebranding and some store changes in the Triangle, I will admit that Cha House Cary is my favorite location. The workers here tend to be more patient, and there's more inside seating if you're looking to catch up with a friend or get some work done. This time, I ordered my standard black milk tea with less ice and half sugar. I thought it was awesome that they gave me a dome cap because there was leftover liquid in the shaker. My drink was as good as boba can get in the Triangle!

    Strawberry green tea with 25% less sugar and light ice
    Chandra J.

    Checked out the Cha House a while ago through a Yelp event and was planning to go back at some point as I really liked it! And I see why I did, Cha House's menu and service are great! I was a little overwhelmed by the number of options but was able to narrow it down to their cold teas. The strawberry sounded lovely, so I went with that! I like that there is an option to select the amount of sugar and ice. I went with 25% sugar and light ice and it was delicious! With less sugar, it still had a ton of flavor. When it was brought out to me, it came with such a sweet smile and greeting from the staff. It really made my day. Add to this the cool music and chill atmosphere. This is a great place to meet up with friends or read a book on your own. I will be back!

    Lavender earl grey milk tea
    Briana F.

    I got the lavender earl grey milk tea, it was very good! The service was fast and the place was nice to sit down and chat. Would definitely go back again!

    Taipei 101 is a popular Taiwanese restaurant in Cary! It has a homey feel inside, like it is a…read morefamily restaurant. I went for dinner on a Saturday and it was packed so expect a slight wait at peak hours. Parking can also be tight as it is located downtown. We were seated quickly and our food came out FAST! Great service. My friend and I shared the Scallion Pancake, Bang Bang Shrimp, Dry-Sautéed Green Beans, and Spicy Crispy Fish. We definitely got one too many dishes, but I am glad we got to try them. The Scallion Pancake was solid. It had the right amount of thinness and flakiness. I would love to taste more scallion next time, though. I think that the sauce that it came with was a bit sweet and I would rather a more savory or saltier sauce to pair with the pancake. The Bang Bang Shrimp was under the appetizer category but it looked like an entree. Lots of small shrimp in a creamy, sweet, and spicy chili sauce. I loved it! The Dry-Sauteed Green Beans were probably my least favorite dish. I wish it had a taste (or more of a taste) of soy sauce or garlic, but it was still decent. The Crispy Spicy Fish is definitely one of the most popular dishes here and it lived it up to the hype! Not sure what seasonings were on the fish, but it tasted a bit salty, spicy, and savory. The fish also tasted fresh to me. We also received complimentary rice, which was needed with our savory dishes! I would definitely come back here in the future! There are so many options for food on their menu and almost everything was a hit. Plus, service was fantastic. I recommend going with a large group to do family style and really try a lot of the menu items.

    I like how people talk about decent Chinese food like they talk about bees -- "where did they all…read morego?" If I am anywhere near Cary I will go to this place for the Sichuan dishes. Often times I find that the little red pepper on many Chinese menus mean nothing. Here, they mean "this is going to be really spicy!" I have been told that you ask for something that isn't on the menu, they can often gladly make it for you. So... yeah. TBH -- the more American-Chinese dishes aren't anything special. I had someone's General Tsao and it was way spicier than most (which was great) but really, really, goopy and sugary (which wasn't.) All in all, if you're adventurous, and you're tired of the same old American-Chinese I would give this place a run and I would actually avoid those items on the menu should you dine here.

    Aside from the fact that Q Noodle's flavor profile doesn't totally vibe with my personal…read morepreferences, I find this place to be very, very inconsistent. As someone who really enjoys big, spicy flavors in Chinese food, I find Q Noodles to be on the tamer side. This isn't necessarily the worst thing, my grandparents prefer these flavors a lot more. However, the style of food does not make up for some the unknown of a high or low experience. Q Noodles is one of the few places in the area that serves soup dumplings. Unfortunately, during my last visit the soup dumplings had no soup in them. The flavor of the meat inside was decent, but the lack of soup was disappointing! It makes the dish what it is. I also don't particularly fancy their rice bowls, and that says a lot coming from someone who eats an unholy amount of rice. I eat a lot of Taiwanese braised pork rice, so when I saw it on the menu I certainly had some expectations. I didn't get the Taiwanese version, rather, a more mild version where the pork was leaner and definitely overcooked. Their pork chop rice bowl is decent. While there are some misses, there are also some highlights. The popcorn chicken with the spicy powder rocks, the spicy braised beef noodle soup is packed with heat and delicious flavors, and their braised chicken is tender, juicy and kind of like a great Bourbon chicken. It pairs well with a rice bowl. Q Noodles certainly won't be my #1 choice when it comes to Chinese food, given the amount of options in the area. However, there are some really solid options that I think still give it some charm. I just hope that next time, my soup dumpling has some soup!

You have a choice of taking food items off of the push carts that comes by your table like every 10 minutes or so. There are different carts. Some with entrees,some with appetizers and some with desserts. There is plenty of tables inside for group outings. They have booths and round tables. You can opt out of dimsum items and order from the regular menu by scanning the QR code on the table. I was looking forward for sesame balls, shrimp rice or pork rice rolls and fried shrimp balls but they didnt serve them there. Overall good food but not the best Ive had. There dimsum options are more limited then the other dimsum places Ive tried in NC.

They offer a huge variety of dishes ranging from classic Chinese and American Chinese food to handmade dim sum made fresh in house. Everything we tried was packed with flavor, especially the walnut shrimp which I'm still thinking about. The roasted duck and char siu were also standout dishes and you can really tell they put care into the food here. I also love that they specialize in both Sichuan and Cantonese dishes, so there's something for everyone depending on what flavors you're craving. If you want the full dim sum cart experience, definitely stop by on the weekends from 11 to 2. It made the experience feel even more authentic and fun. This visit completely won me over and I'll definitely be back to keep exploring the menu.
