    I tried to give an example of what you're getting vs. the stock photo. Just completely different chicken.

    Downhill Zanyu was decent for many years but it has reached the end. We did take out this evening and ordered three dishes. The crispy chicken appears as like it was freezer burnt chicken fingers. Seams like cutting corners.

    Khao Soi Noodles
    Sami L.

    Came in off a Yelp search, and saw the kha soi noodles had some good reviews so of course I had to come try. They were full of flavor and were fresh tasting. Highly recommend. The edamame was okay. The service was exceptional from all employees. The ambiance was quiet, and the place was clean. Overall, this place was a place I would return to and highly recommend for someone in the area.

    I highly recommend Zanyu Asian Noodles! The food is fresh and delicious. The service was on point. I sat on the patio and ate my dinner and drank my sake and enjoyed the ambiance. I wrote a detailed review at: www.foodbloggernc.com

    Khao Soi Noodles
    Melissa Z.

    I love the location of this place (Lafayette Village) and I was very interested by all the noodle options this place offered but ended up personally not being a fan. However, they had great service and cute indoor and outdoor seating. The vegan/vegetarian options here are very weak. They offered two vegan options that didn't look that great so when we requested a curry sauce instead we were disappointed to find out it was all chicken broth based. I understand this is usually the case for most noodle places though. Due to that, he was only able to get the veggie spring rolls but he said they were great! I was really excited to try the Khao Soi noodles after seeing all the pictures of it but it was veryyyyy sweet. The coconut curry sauce was actually way too sweet, and my bowl had an overwhelming amount of chicken in it compared to very little noodles. This wasn't my taste at all but I'm sure the pad thai, drunken noodles, ramen, etc options were way better so I would just advise not getting the khao soi.

    Wow! If you are looking for fresh food don't pass this place up. Great taste, good service, clean restroom, it's a winner. The Pad Se Ew is amazing.

    Mee Lao
    Kellie R.

    I am OBSESSED with Zanyu Asian Noodles! The first time I visited was completely spontaneous. We sat outside which was really nice. I had ordered the Mee Lao with crispy chicken and my husband ordered the Khao Soi Noodle Soup. We also shared the combo buns. Service was friendly and super quick. Both dishes were outstanding but I was wishing I had ordered the Khao Soi because man, that was AMAZING. The buns were also outstanding! I feel like you can't go wrong with anything from the menu, though. The second time was for pickup. I had ordered two Khao Soi Noodle soups, and Mee Lao for my mother in law, and spring rolls to share. The order was ready when I arrived and packaged nicely. The food was as delicious as I remembered. I love trying new things but when you find that one dish you absolutely favor, it's hard trying something else from the menu. That's how I feel about the Khao Soi. How many times have I mentioned this soup? I'm serious...go try it now!

    Tonkatsu Ramen (no veggies requested) with chili oil on the side so I could add as I pleased. Delicious.
    Caroline P.

    I love ramen so I was excited to take myself on a Sunday date to a new place. I ordered the Tonkatsu Ramen (without any veggies,) and loved it! The broth was very savory and I found the noodles cooked perfectly. The egg was also excellently cooked and flavorful. I was excited to find a restaurant where you can order the chili oil on the side as well. Weirdly enough, I've found this a rare option in the past. I like to moderate my own spice levels as the oil likes to sit on the top of the broth. My server was so sweet & friendly, and checked on me regularly. He made the experience great! Will be returning. Thank you!

    Mee Kar Thee
    Matt G.

    Our dinner plans didn't work out, so we checked out this place. The interior was pretty basic, but it was nice to see authentic Lao dishes, so we tried a couple. We had the Seen Savanh (beef jerky) for an appetizer, and then Mee Kar Thee (coconut and peanut rice noodles) for an entree. I was hoping for a bit more with the Mee Kar Thee. It tasted like standard peanut noodles, and I was hoping for a little more flavor depth. Our waitress was really nice and had some good recommendations.

    Khao Soi Noodles, extra hot chili oil
    Brandon B.

    I decided to try their Khao Soi noodles on my first visit because of the rave reviews, and it certainly didn't disappoint. I also recommend asking for it a little extra hot by having them add more hot chili oil. I can't wait to try more items from their menu!

    Pho Lao Beef Soup and Curry Laksa Noodles with Tofu
    Elaina B.

    Yum! My husband and I ordered the Pho Lao Beef Soup and Curry Laksa Noodles with Tofu substitute (instead of chicken) and it was so good! There was nothing left in my husband's bowl and because my dish was so filling I took part of my dish home. It was the ultimate comfort food, flavorful, and delicious, it was especially nice to have noodles on a cold and rainy day. Service was friendly and the meals came out super fast. We would totally come back here to eat!

    Paloma M.

    Decided to go with the popular dish according to previous Yelp reviews. This soup is pretty tasty if you like curry. I have to say yet my favorite was the pork baos, we ordered as appetizer but I would have been super happy just eating a bunch of those! Great option in Lafayette Village!

    Qiongqiong M.

    The place is located in a plaza. Fun place to be just to hangout with people. The noodle was a bit Americanized or not authentic. Service was good.

    Pho Lao Beef Soup
    Laiza H.

    I like coming here sometimes when it's cold to get some soup. It's located at the Lafayette Village (a charming French style plaza in Raleigh). I usually order the Beef Pho Lao (Beef broth, spices and herbs, rice noodles, beef and garnish) and my husband orders the Tonkatsu Ramen. The Pho is very good and aromatic and I like it very much but my husband says that the Tonkatsu Ramen is inconsistent. Sometimes the pork is good and sometimes it isn't. Also, they play some pop/rap music there that doesn't match the Asian style restaurant. I've also tried the creamy vegan shoyo noodles and it was ok. I go there only for the Pho that is amazing!

    I need some good slurping Buckwheat Soba. Where?

    Do you have high chairs?

    Yes we do. Thank you

    I saw this wasn't good for kids- why may I ask? My kids are 7&9 and love ramen. They wouldn't be able to finish an adult bowl, but would this restaurant accommodate and let them split one bowl into two bowls like other ramen shops?

    Greetings, It’s the reviewer’s who put that out and we have been trying to change that. We are very very kid friendly and can accommodate children in anyway desired. We can… Read more

Even the restroom reflected an impressive attention to detail- immaculately maintained and elevated with amenities such as lotion, Q-tips, and climate control. This spot is good for a fancy date night! My husband opted for the lunch special, which included soup, salad, curry, and a side of sushi. He absolutely raved about the curry. I chose the fish wontons alongside the Raleigh roll, which was exceptional; the addition of mango on top was perfect with the lobster tempura for me. I am also always appreciative when a sushi place can accommodate my addiction to add cream cheese to any roll- they made it work! Service was prompt and attentive. The green tea leaned slightly earthy for my taste, but it did little to detract from an otherwise outstanding meal. I would gladly return and recommend this spot to groups seeking high-quality sushi in a polished setting.

Bin was my server, he was great. I started with the grilled scallops, they were small, but were grilled & seasoned perfectly. I then ordered the Alaskan Roll & the Ajisai Roll. Both so fresh and delicious. I enjoyed the experience. There's great ambiance, it's vibrant and modern. There's plenty of seating at the bar. There are plenty of tables inside and several outside.

    Y'all, my daughter and I have been looking at this place for a while and finally got there today…read more Oh, why oh, why did it take us so long? Obviously, this is our first time, but what we got was amazing. We each got one of the lunch specials. She got boneless wings with the seasoned fries, and I got the wings with the radish. I got the sauce that starts with a "y", and she got half Korean BBQ and half the "Y" sauce. She enjoyed both of the sauces, but liked the BBQ one best. She also ordered one of those Korean "corn dogs" with cinnamon sugar on it, and the Kewpie mayo. I wouldn't get the pickled radish again, it's not what I've eaten elsewhere, but who cares when the wings were so awesome.........amazing........I think young people say they are fire......and they were. The fries were crispy, the wings crispy and well-sauced.......................and I cannot wait to go again. To top it off, our server, Madden, was wonderful. Not named after those guys from the band, Good Charlotte, but after John Madden! Since I know it can be good, let it be known while there if it's not.......because I'm pretty sure they'll make it right.

So I dropped in for a lunch visit and wasn't disappointed AGAIN. I had the lunch special for two. It includes 1 Appetizer, 2 entrees and a dessert for $39.99. We selected the pork potstickers, beef bulgolgi and Korean Bbq Fried Chicken (6 wings /3 legs) and. Korean donut. I washed it down with the Soju Mule. Everything was delicious per usual. Our waitress was super nice and gave us great recommendations as well which is always welcomed. I just really think it's pretty cool that they have a bar.
