    Nora's had EXACTLY what I have been looking for at various African markers and Nora had exactly what was needed beyond groceries.

    Good food, good service. Enjoyed sitting outside. I got the Paula Rocks....because... duh. Haha…read more My sandwich had enough onion for 5 sandwiches but easy to pull off to my liking. The pasta salad had a kick and was very good. The potato salad was also good with a kick. I got mine pressed and will return when in the area. (Bonus - they had real iced tea)

    So good I came back!…read more Customer Service: Everyone was really nice. It is OTC ordering, and you pick up your food when they call your name. Food: (1st visit) South of the border wrap with brown derby chopper salad 5/5. I ate it all!! The salad was fresh and a mix of the perfect amount of ingredients. The wrap was thiccc and chicken was juicy and hot (temp)! (2nd visit) I got the special of the day: which was a burger with the spinach salad 5/5. Again the salad was amazing could've made it better myself. I'm not sure what was better the burger itself or bun...burger was hefty and juicy with a slight taste of the summer nostalgic grill char and the bun was soft and forgiving but firm in the right places to hold everything together. Beverage: 5/5 I got the Sweet Iced Tea which was good but then did a 70/30 mix with lemonade and that was banging! The lemonade was a fountain drink, tea made in house. Dessert: I might be addicted to those brownies man! That's a don't eva skip! Total Price with Tip: Expect to spend at least 20 dollars for lunch, beverage, and dessert. Ambiance: Nice vibes, really cool art, highly utilized small space. Special shoutout to the pot mixer (bread knead mixer repurposed as plant pottery) Perfect for lunch! I did not use the bathroom, but I believe it's offered in the back. Fullness Level: 6/5. Parking: Highly accessible Highly recommend this place and the story is great! Check her out yall!

    I'm so pleased that this Asian grocers exists in Brier Creek, since the other few options are in…read moredeep in Cary, or the other side of Durham. Fresh International Market, while isn't as large or vast as some other markets, has the staples of Asian cuisine ingredients. I was able to find plentiful mustard greens, bean sprouts, taro, daikon, etc. They even had balut! Which is an indication that a lot of old school families go there, since balut is a controversial yet deep rooted delicacy of the east. In terms of herbs though, they seem to have more Chinese herbs, than Vietnamese or Korean which is a pattern I'm noticing with Asian grocers. Whatever ethnicity owns a certain grocery, carries more food items of that ethnicity, as opposed to others. It took me a while to figure that out. Just like any other Asian grocers, they have a ton of veggies, meat, snacks and even cute ceramics - bowls, plates, dipping sauce dishes, utensils, etc. They also have a neat sit down or to-go hotpot bar, similar to a buffet style bar (although it's served to you) so you can build your own meal. I found that super neat and convenient for people who just want a quick bowl but not all of the fuss of small plates, and the overall hectic experience of hot pot. Connected to the store is a nice French bakery too, that adds to the convenience of this grocery store. Overall, a good place to secure all of your Asian grocery needs!

    Fresh International Market's hot bar has solid value, but the overall experience was just okay…read more The biggest positive is the portion size. For $10.99 (three-item plate), you get a very generous amount of food, which is hard to beat. There are also a decent number of meat options to choose from. That said, the selection felt limited for anyone going meat-free, and more importantly, the food itself lacked flavor. The mapo tofu was disappointing, and the bok choy was pretty bland. Others in our group tried the orange chicken, which was described as okay, but nothing anyone would go out of their way for. Overall, it's filling and affordable, but not particularly memorable. Good for quantity, just not quality or standout flavor.

We arrived around noon on a busy beautiful Sunday! There's plenty of seating both inside and on their outdoor wrap around patio. Foster's has an old rustic charm, kind of like a general store but on a larger scale. So, you order at the counter with one of their many staffers, they call your name when it's ready if you ordered to go, or they walk around to the tables calling out your name if you choose to dine there! I had the Farm Plate, which was 2 eggs your way, a meat, their famous herb biscuit and your choice of grits or potatoes. I chose scrambled hard with cheese eggs, chicken sausage patties and cheese grits. It was just ok. The food was good, not like OMG! My friend had the Breakfast Burrito and it was again, just ok. They have a variety of options to choose from. Maybe we just picked the most basic ones. Nothing is out of the ordinary. Everything looks delicious and we really should have tried a dessert, but didn't. I would go back to give them another chance, but I'm not rushing. They have local goods, like honey, jams, chocolates, sauces for sale as well as wine and lots of other goods. It's super family friendly and a great place to sit and enjoy someone's company or your own, o just didn't have a spectacular experience.

This place might have made it somewhere else, but competition in RTP is tough. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Stopped by Orient Cafe today while waiting on my car at Mr. Tire across the street. This place used to be a Chubby's Tacos, and has been open after remodel about a month. It was my first visit, and there won't likely be another. They have some typical prepared dishes behind a counter, almost like a mall place, but you can also order off the menu. My wife and I got there around 1:30 PM, and we were the only ones in the place. It was strange at first, because there was no one even behind the counter for 3 or 4 minutes. Finally, someone came out from the kitchen. I ordered Kung Pao shrimp, my wife ordered Cashew shrimp. We picked a table from the empty, but clean and nice looking dining room. White plastic cutlery. At first I was happy to see a Coke machine, but that soon turned to dismay when both the Diet Coke and Coke Zero selections were not working. The dishes arrived at our table fairly quickly, but not at the same time. My dish was fine, but my wife's had no cashews at all. The woman had already left, so we just started eating. Finally she came back to deliver food to a couple road workers that had come in after us, and I pointed out that there were no cashews in the cashew chicken. She went back to the kitchen and came out with a small container of peanuts. Out of cashews, it seems. What we got was hot and tasty, but certainly nothing special, and with so many other, better places around the location, I don't see a bright future for this place without some radical changes.

    Just stopped in for lunch. The restaurant has changed to a made-to-order place and the food was…read morefantastic. I got the General Tso's chicken and it was perfect-light, crisp, great sauce. It was fairly empty but I hope people give it a second try.

    This is my go-to for groceries and any other treasure I can find there. The store is super clean,…read moreand the workers are all so friendly and helpful. You may not be able to find everything on your grocery list here but that is the nature of Aldi. If you haven't shopped at Aldi before, you have to understand that before you go. But I promise you, you will find a gem you didn't expect. And where else can you buy ladies underwear and avocados all in one place (yeah, I wear Aldi underwear, I said it, Ooh, La La) You will be so happy when you leave with a cart full of items that cost the same as 2 plastic bagfuls at Publix or the Teeter. Some things I have found here were beef short ribs, brisket and prime rib roast for so much less than traditional grocery stores. These kind of items are hit or miss when you find them so snap them up when you do see them as they may not be there next week. Make sure you bring a quarter for the shopping cart and your own bags (or buy them there) These are some of the ways they keep costs low and it's really not much of an inconvenience when you see how much you are saving.

The Aldi stores in NJ are remarkably similar to the Aldi stores in NC :) I would say this one was a little messier and smaller than the previous Aldi I went to, but it was acceptable. I guess the number of staff is quite small because the store had a sign at the cash register informing me that I should put my groceries on the conveyer belt and that someone would be with me shortly. Not a huge deal, but it made the checkout process a bit slower. Overall, I would come back here because the prices are great, but it's not the absolute best Aldi I've been to.
