We had a lovely time at this corner restaurant in Fenton. We sat outside and the ambience was…read moreamazing. You can people watch and enjoy the night lights and all that mother mosquito has to offer. No it wasn't a typo and I got the red bumps to show for it but it was worth it! Out of all the dishes the screaming o tuna roll with tempura shrimp and the tortellini dumplings with truffle pieces on top took it home for us. The char siu dish fell flat compared to the duck bun that it was imitating. And speaking of imitation, the fried rice was a bit oily and has imitation crab instead of real meat which is on brand with the overpriced theme. 4 stars for food and ambience but 5 stars for the service. We had attentive servers that catered to our needs. Overall it's a great experience to have but for the price of the food, there's still room for improvement on the quality front.

Grabbed dinner here recently and had a good experience!…read more First, we got a reservation, but the restaurant wasn't super busy so it probably wasn't necessary. It may be busier during peak hours, though :) Anyway, I ordered the Screaming "O" sushi roll for myself as well as the ocean trout nigiri, while my wife got the sashimi platter. I guess it's kind of like Japanese tapas so we were supposed to share, but we kind of just ordered our own dishes. They also had a decent beer, wine, and sake selection. The Screaming "O" roll was super tasty! Definitely one of the better sushi rolls I've had in the area. The nigiri wasn't bad but it definitely felt a little overpriced. My wife enjoyed her sashimi and thought the quality of the fish was very good, especially the tuna. We were still hungry after eating all of the above so we ordered the tiradito and shared it - pretty tasty but not a lot of calories :) So we were still hungry after that, too! We decided to call it a night, though. Overall, it did feel like everything was a bit overpriced, but it was also tasty (especially the sushi roll!). I'd consider coming back here for a special celebration meal, but not for a casual night out.

We also ordered Chicken Satay, Shrimp Dumplings, Pork Belly Pad Lao, Spring Rolls, Coconut Chicken Curry, 2 orders Moo Ping Pork Skewers, Pepper Beef, and of course delicious drinks! Our waitress was amazing and gave great recommendations. You will not be disappointed. Before or after dinner, swing by Cary Park and enjoy the beautiful views or live music!

It feels like you're paying for the ambiance and decor instead of the quality of food but I digress. Our server was helpful with deciding what to order. She also provided the complimentary imitation shrimp chips while we waited for our order to come out. It wasn't bad but not anything like what I grew up eating. We did BBQ pork skewers for appetizers and pad lao - pretty similar to Thailand's pad Thai. Both were really good! They had this ube cocktail and it was very delicious. Happy to find this in NC of all places :) Now the other offender is that they claim to be an "authentic" Asian restaurant and misspelled "banh mi" but then showing "banh" correctly on the menu item not too far from it...

She asked where we would feel most comfortable sitting! The restaurant is situated in an adorable little house! There were a few small rooms indoors and two diff outdoor areas! We chose to try indoors to begin with! I had already called in advance cause I have a pretty severe allergy I needed to make sure they could change things and accommodate for! They were more than happy to be able to do so as everything is made per order! My aunt knows I love a good sangria and wherever we go she always inquires immediately if they have it! They didn't BUT Zoe came right back over, asked how I like my sangria and with what type of wine and said they could make me one! Shortly thereafter we had met Han, the manager, what a delightful and respectable manager who knows how to handle any and all situations! We had now decided we would like to sit outside even tho it was very hot out! She said let me get your things and she then said how about this little private room indoors as she wanted us most comfortable! Even tho my puppy is a service animal the only other couple in that room made a stink immediately and I said let's just go sit outside under the fans and on the deck! Han brought everything out asked about drinks as I had decided to cancel mine but on second thought decided I'd have one! She asked if I like it on the sweeter side etc! Not only was it delicious but the waitress upon bringing it over let me know immediately it was on the house! The food wasn't rushed but came in a very nice and timely manner and with beautiful presentations and the taste of everthing from our appetizers to our mains was of the highest quality! Zoe, Han and even the person who poured our water were the nicest as was the other couple sitting on the patio with us! Overall I'd give MCAsian Cuisine a five star rating and can't wait to return on my next trip to see my Aunt and I know she can't wait to return even before then! Thank you Han, Zoe and everyone at MCAsian! You have set the bar high!

How many great things can I say about Van & her family's restaurant! From the moment I called for…read morereservations on a busy Friday night I felt her warmth connecting through the phone. I have always loved the location I almost purchased this place when it was a home 30 years ago so I have a soft spot for it & now that it's across the street from the lovely cary park it's extra special. They have made great use of the wide porch with my favorite authentic French bistro chairs for outdoor dining or indoors there is a good use of space & atmosphere. This is a family owned dining experience where the husband is the chef, nephew is a waiter & wife at the hostess desk getting to know old & new customers. I hope I can become a regular! The food was superb!! The tempura asparagus was so light & crispy with a tasty sauce. Flambé manchego cheese (who doesn't love a table side fire show;) the tenderloin beef dish was so tender & I enjoyed learning the Vietnamese use the lime juice with salt to use as a sauce. The truffle fries were light & airy. I LOVE fried food did but very few chefs seem to use a good oil & have a light touch with it anymore! The baguette was good. We had the coconut cake & banana Foster's pudding with the very tasty whiskey sauce really filled us up. The ambience is friendly & upscale in a comfortable fashion. I enjoyed interacting with Van & tired a new lemonichello drink that was very much to my liking. There is a wide selection of sake both filtered & unfiltered & an extensive wine selection as well. Also, scotch & port are well represented. I love a full spectrum bar! Van allowed me to try an additional starch Vietnamese potatoes. We will definitely return!! Make this a priority if you're interested in making your meal an extra special treat!

First time here and NOT the last time! Our college-aged daughter and I had a girls' night out…read morebefore she needed to head back to school and we decided to try something new. Five Star did not disappoint! The small details stood out-like the bowl one of our entrees was delivered in was in the shape of a star. The wood tables had stars emblazoned in them and the stars in the windows-nice touch! The lighting was perfect and the hanging lights were uniquely beautiful. We saw all different types of diners: a few couples on dates, a midsize party in the private room, a solo diner, a large family, a business group nearby discussing work and celebrating something, young parents with a couple of well-behaved toddlers and even a set of new parents where the mother was wearing her newborn! Seriously, there is something for everyone here. We decided to try several items so we could sample as much as possible. Their five-star chicken dish and chili garlic green beans were my choice, and I am so glad I chose those! When I return, I liked them so much I am not sure I will be able to try anything else bc I want them again! Their steamed dumplings, rice and chicken wraps were also to die for! I thought surely we would want to take something home-nope! We stuffed ourselves and loved every minute of it. The ambiance was great. Our table was perfectly located so we could even watch the trains go by as built-in entertainment! The manager, Evan, was pleasant. Niko and Alex were our servers and such a joy to have serve us. Everyone seemed to enjoy their jobs. Even the hostess was cheerful. It makes a difference when, as a patron, you feel appreciated and the staff is eager to serve. We are excited to add this location to our rotation in the near future and will certainly be returning with friends and family!

I mean, the place is called Five Star... couldn't possibly be more suited for a Yelp review. And…read moredespite the fact it's current average is not 5 stars, I agree with the name, as I definitely had a 5 star experience! Bear with me, as this was several months ago, but in the process of going through my last year's photos, I saw these and realized I had not actually written a review. I immediately remembered the meal and how tasty everything was. We started off with several apps, including some soup dumplings, crab rangoons (with actual crab in them, not just cheese turnovers), and some crispy spicy garlic shrimp. All were delicious, the soup dumplings still stand out in my head as favorites. The portion on the crispy shrimp was excellent. We went family style on the dinner... beef lo mein, general tso chicken, cashew chicken, and spicy mongolian beef. That all came with a big bowl of communal rice, and we all left stuffed and satisfied. There wasn't a dish on the table we wouldn't order again. As with anything downtown, parking can be a little tricky. I was able to find free street parking about a block down, but that's all gonna be luck based. The lot behind the restaurant was totally full. Would come back next time I visit Raleigh!

We also started the lunch with fried gyoza and chilled apple sake. We walked right in around lunch time on a Thursday. Besides a bit of confusion at the counter about us wanting to sit down to eat, but not hibachi,, everything was great from there on. You will not regret coming here for sushi. TRUST ME.
