    Sushi
    Tammy M.

    We stopped by for dinner on a Wed night. It was around 6-6:30. There were maybe 6 people eating in. There seemed to be lots of take out. The inside dining space was very dimly lit. Hubby wanted sushi. They have BOGOF. I did not find the sushi to be very good. We got spicy shrimp rolls and I couldn't find either the shrimp or the spice. The crab Rangoon appetizer was a winner. We also got a chicken pad Thai to split. Also not so good. Too sweet and not spicy enough. Even though I ordered chicken, I found more tofu in the dish than chicken. In my opinion, the menu is too big. Make it smaller and prepare those dishes really well. We may try again - but I really doubt it.

    Came here tonight for the first time for dinner. The restaurant was very quiet and had some nice decor on the walls. I ordered the sushi regular dinner and my friend got two of their BOGO rolls. The rolls were presented beautifully! They came out on wooden platters which I had never seen before. The waiters were friendly and the meal didn't take that long to come out. My only complaint is that the restaurant was very very cold, which made the experience slightly less enjoyable - especially since it was a very cold and rainy day.

    I come here so often I was shocked to see I had not left a review yet! I LOVE it here. Their food is great and they have BOGO sushi deals! but I have to say their pad thai has my The convenience of online orders and pick up is great for me, but the ambiance of the restaurant is so calming and great spot to hang out and chat with friends or take yourself out for a date!

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 came alone so Combo A was perfect for me as it came with an appetizer, side, platter of vegetables, and two meats. For the broth, I had medium spice level and I recommend half and half tomato or getting mini as it can get VERY spicy even at medium. They added a lot of spice to it which I was a little bit surprised, but I was able to tolerate it. For the appetizer I had their crispy pork belly and it was a huge portion, nothing too special about it but was crunchy and went well with the chili flakes. For the side, I had fried rice and it was just regular fried rice but went really well with the spicy broth. The meats and vegetables were fresh and everything came out quickly and the staff was friendly as well.

I don't think they allow reservations, it's just first come first serve or I think you can also call ahead to put yourself on a wait list. Fantastic ambiance, really attentive service and fresh ingredients. It's not all you can eat, you order by plate. Which is nicer, you don't feel so bloated after eating there because you can portion control easier, and it's more cost effective. I'm personally a big fan of their beef cuts, tripe, lamb, even some more niche cuts like the ox aorta are good too. The side dishes are great too. Particularly a fan of their fried rice cakes. Highly recommend coming here for hotpot!

While their noodles are definitely a standout in terms of texture and chew, some of the dishes we ordered this time were a letdown... Between the three of us, we tried two noodle dishes (hand pulled noodles with spare ribs & shaved noodles with bean paste aka zha jiang mian) and two regular dishes that came with rice (eggplant with garlic sauce & Hunan roasted pork aka hong shao rou). Outside of the regular menu that comes in a giant booklet, we also ordered the salted egg yolk lava buns off of their separate dim sum menu. In terms of the good, I absolutely LOVED the texture of the shaved noodles and also really enjoyed the texture of the hand pulled noodles, though I personally prefer a wider noodle which would be the shaved ones. Additionally, the eggplant with garlic sauce was solid and so were the salted egg yolk lava buns! Now in terms of the not so great, while we understand that Hunan roasted pork comes with pork belly which can be fatty, many of the pork belly pieces in this dish were pretty much all fat with no lean meat (basically inedible) which I have not seen in this dish at other restaurants. Also, the sauce that came with the shaved noodles was very one dimensional and just tasted of sweet bean paste with very little savory / umami flavor.
