    Spicy chicken mini's & Juicy buns (12 pc.)
    Amaryllis K.

    I love dumplings! I always see Chirba Chirba Dumplings around NC and heard how popular they are. I think this is my 2nd time having them and I got the 12 pc mix of their juicy buns and spicy chicken mini's. They gave me a lot of the chicken mini's! They were good and I think they're not overly spicy, just a nice lil' kick to them. I had high hopes of their juicy buns since it's a soup dumpling, but there wasn't much broth in the buns. Besides that, the juicy buns were still flavorful and tasty. I grabbed 2 of their dipping sauces, garlic sesame and Chirba spicy. Both did not disappoint!

    Food Wrapped in Food! Who's in? I'm a sucker for dumplings of any kind whether they're Russian, Italian, Polish or Asian. (the RIPA of dumpling lore). Raviolis, Pierogies, Gyoza are all amazing and I, like many others could make a meal out of these sealed pouches of flavor. Some dumplings can be bland, but the kind folks at Chiba Chiba made sure these had a lot of flavor. I tried the Pork and the Veggie and all were good. The staff was friendly and others around me eating dumplings hunched over also seemed to be enjoying. This is a food truck, so good luck finding it. Instead of driving up and down every street screaming "Here Chirba Chirba", they may have a social media page that tells you where they're gone be slinging their dumplings like an angry bird at a green pig.

    Pretty tasty dumplings if you're craving them. I swung by the food truck and ordered a medium (12) Juicy Buns. It didn't take long for the food to come out and they wrapped them in tin foil to keep them warm while you move to your eating spot. They only had 2 sauces to choose from when I visited, a garlic sauce and a spicy sauce. The lady who took my order was friendly as she took my order and it didn't take long at all for the buns to come out. I recommend giving them a try if you see them out and about!

    It's good but pricey for dumplings! I think their most popular one-the juicy dumplings are the best. My sister had mini chicken dumplings, which were dry and mushy- not good unfortunately. I think I spent $8 or so on my dish. This food truck has been around for a long time and always has a long line! But a key of advice is that you want to pick the juicy buns!

    Good truck overall. I'm always on the lookout of where they are posting up for the day/weekend/event. I've been ordering from them for years and fell in love with their Juicy Buns (XLB/soup dumplings). Not 100% authentic but pretty close and pretty damn good that you have a craving for them. The staff is always kind and friendly and they make sure your needs are met. They also offer noodles and other dumplings, but the star of the show is by far their juicy buns. A big plus are the sauces to choose from: Chirba Spicy (not hot-hot), black vinegar, garlic sesame, and pineapple curry. Highly recommend.

    My favorite food truck in the area! Sometimes I'll go out of my way to drive to whatever city they're in. A little pricey but 100% worth it. The chicken dumplings and glass noodles are my favorite.

    Juicy Buns & Bok to the Future dumplings with the Spicy Glass noodles!! Chirba spicy sauce. All good!!

    I LOVE this food truck!!! My co-workers know that I will be on an extended lunch when they come around... because the line is always long. I always order two sets of dumplings, this time the Juicy Buns and Bok to the Future with the Chirba spicy and Black Vinegar dipping sauces. I also ordered the spicy glass noodles but they are a tad bit dry. I always end up eating my dumplings first and then adding the remainder of the dipping sauces to the glass noodles and they're still good. Price is a little high, I end up paying $20 for lunch for 12 dumplings and the glass noodles; it's how I treat myself so I don't mind the pricing. The Juicy Buns dumplings were really good surprise. I could not imagine the concept of a dumpling with broth in it but they are juicy, of course, full of flavor and good with the dipping sauces I had. I typically go for the Bayside Chive dumplings but they were out this go round. The Bok to the Future dumplings were a good substitute with the Black Vinegar dipping sauce; I didn't even miss the chives dumplings. Most people don't sit around and eat their food near the truck and if you're not a sitter, ask for an additional piece of foil to cover your food with when you get it. We will meet again Chirba!

    I mean, I like their sticker collection

    The only thing cool about this food truck is all the stickers they have advertising other local businesses. Chirba Chirba comes to Perimeter Park for Food Truck Tuesdays and this will be the last time I eat with them. :( They had only 2 dumpling options and basically 1 side option. I got the juicy buns since that one is their most popular 'apparently'. They were watered down, runny and bland dumplings. I paid for 12 to make it a full meal. Yeah, nothing worth raving about at all. Best to just admire the food truck from afar...

    How's it goin, dumplin? At Chirba Chirba, the dumplings are all doing pretty well! I ran into their truck at the Fullsteam Brewery 1 Year Anniversary party and couldn't resist. They've got a small menu, maybe four or five different types of dumplings including a sampler platter. I went with basic pork dumplings. It took about 10 minutes and voila! Out comes a cardboard platter with six smallish dumplings on a banana leaf with a side of chinese sausage. You can also get the dumplings pan-fried but that would have taken a bit more time. I squirted some sesame oil over my dumpling and shared them with my friends. Now I have made dumplings from scratch and have been eating Chinese dumplings since I've been, yay high. Chirba Chirba does a good job with a thin, tender dumpling skin and meaty filling. The side of sausage was a small plastic cup of sliced pieces, yum. All in all, I like what Chirba Chirba's dishing out but felt from a value standpoint, it was a bit pricey. The dumplings are small and the sausage, well you can buy it at any Asian market so not much work is needed there. Slightly larger portion sizes would really help out here. But the concept is good and I hope Chirba Chirba does well. I'm always rooting for ethnic eateries in the Triangle and Chirba Chirba is keeping things real...

    Good food choices but be ready for a wait!…read more I have been to Wheat twice and tried a variety of the vegetarian dishes. I had the Vegetable Lo Mein, Braised Tofu, Mapo Tofu, Fried Rice and Spring Rolls. The Braised Tofu is not very flavorful, so I would avoid that. The Mapo Tofu is absolutely delicious and has that perfect peppercorn kick. It is spicy, so get a sweet drink on the side if you are not a fan of spice. Vegetable Lo Mein is a large quantity with lots of vegetables. Ask for some sauces on the side because it is bland on its own. On the other hand, the Fried Rice is yummy on its own or with the Mapo Tofu. Spring Rolls are a little oily to my liking but are a good vegetarian appetizer option. I will say that this place is always packed, even on weekdays and sometimes the wait staff forgets about you. It took several rounds to get them to take our order, give the food or even get the check at the end. I will try it out next time at lunch time because maybe it is a little faster. I plan to be back for the Mapo Tofu and Fried Rice

    I was excited to finally try Wheat with my friends, and while the food that we ordered was good and…read morecame out relatively fast, we all felt that our waiter was very rude and judgmental. For example, when my friend told him that she wanted to order the beef intestine soup, he straight up said "uh are you sure? I think it's bad, I don't like that dish" which we all thought was a very strange thing to say. A lot of their menu items looked really good and while initially I thought that I would want to come back sometime and try them, the attitude of the waiter was so off putting that I highly doubt I'll ever be back here.

    Our go-to dim sum spot near Chapel Hill!…read more This is a wonderful family-run restaurant that blends modern simplicity with traditional charm. The staff are incredibly friendly and hardworking, and the atmosphere feels both welcoming and authentic. All items are affordable and with reasonable prices! It's the only legit dim sum place near Chapel Hill/Carrboro, about a 25-minute drive for us--and we gladly make the trip almost every week. We simply can't get enough of their food! Warning: Everything on their menu is dangerously addictive. You've been warned! Our Favorites 2. Pork Dumpling (Siu Mai / Siomai) -- Steamed pork in a wonton wrapper, perfectly juicy with just the right balance of pork and vegetables in every bite. A delicious classic done right. 6. Beef Onion Dumpling in Chili Sauce -- One of the best dumplings we've had--and we've been to dim sum spots all over the world! The beef is flavorful and juicy, wrapped in a thin, perfectly chewy skin. The chili sauce complements the filling beautifully without overpowering it. Generous portion, amazing value, flawless execution. 9. Steamed BBQ Pork Bun -- Soft, fluffy buns filled with mildly sweet BBQ pork. Comforting, classic, and delicious every time. 11. Egg Yolk Bun -- Lightly sweet custard filling inside soft steamed buns. The perfect bite of dessert to end your dim sum feast. 16. Bean Skin Stuffed with Pork -- Juicy, lightly seasoned pork wrapped in delicate bean skin. Flavorful but not overpowering--simple and satisfying. 27. Crispy Shrimp Ball -- Juicy and lightly seasoned shrimp goodness inside a crispy ball. They disappeared into the void of my stomach as soon as they touched our table. 28. Crispy Taro Puff with Chicken -- Think of these as bite-sized empanadas with savory, well-seasoned chicken inside--like the best mini chicken pot pies! Crispy, flavorful, and completely addictive. I could easily eat 30 of these! 41. Crispy Beef Onion Pot Sticker -- Pan-fried to golden perfection for that satisfying crunch. The beef and chives inside are juicy and flavorful, and the portions are generous. I dream about these dumplings when I'm asleep. Absolute perfection. Take all my money! The Finishing Touch Dim sum is meant to be enjoyed with tea, and they offer a simple traditional brew that pairs beautifully with every dish. If there's one downside--it's that they're only open Friday through Sunday. We wish they were open all week! Everything on their menu is so good! Best Dimsum and service in Durham!

I've had the pleasure of eating some really good dim sum, and while I can admit that the dim sum here will never be as good as places in New York, I can say that they do a decent job and that the experience will be enjoyable for any eater. Rather than delivering dishes on the traditional cart, Dim Sum Asian Bistro uses a menu where you can mark off the dishes that you want. There are a lot of different steamed, fried, and a la carte options that you can choose from. A lot of the basics are done pretty well. They have good pan fried dumplings, shrimp dumplings, shao mai, and coconut pudding. They also have some other, complex dishes that we really enjoy. Their curry powder turnip cake is some of the best out there. The curry flavor pops and the fry is absolutely perfect. Crispy on the outside, but warm and soft on the inside. They also make their chicken feet really well, which is a tough one to do sometimes. I know that there will be some good options. Although Dim Sum Asian Bistro has some good things, they also serve some things that you would just be better off not ordering. They have three different types of rice crepe dishes with meat. Their best is easily the shrimp, and you should stick to that. In fact, I would avoid the beef version at all costs, it is made with a beef paste and the texture was so strange, it was kind of unappetizing! I also think their fried rice could use some work, and I think some items, like their custard buns, could have come from the frozen section. I think my family can be pretty critical about dim sum since it has been a big part of our personal culture. However, sometimes I feel I need to take a step back and look at it broadly. I've come here with some of my friends who don't eat dim sum consistently and they are always wowed by the experience. From that perspective, I can see how this place hits the mark. They serve pretty authentic food and make it taste good. There is always a buzz about the restaurant and people come and go over the weekend. It's no wonder you might have to wait to get a table, Dim Sum Asian Bistro is definitely doing something right!
