I ordered take out and one of the items was missing. I called and they were so nice and apologetic. They actually drove the missing entree to my house. That is amazing customer service. We will make this our main Chinese food restaurant. The food was great too. Very delicious. read more

The waitress was friendly. Food- roast duck (very wet, not enough flavor. Taipei cafe duck is much better), beef hofun (pretty good- not greasy and not stuck together, flavor is decent as well), roast pork (pretty good), crispy pork (not very crispy, red food coloring can be removed, need more flavor). 豆苗 is too old, flavor is good. Not sure if we will return again. Overall food is so-so and very expensive, first time eating entree and doesn't come with rice. Portion size is small. read more

OMG! It worth everything, I drove 150 miles from Charlotte, my friends came from Massachusetts to Durham. Referred by a friend who loves to explore good food. The place was beautifully decorated & classy. Yi Ge 一哥 is the best authentic Cantonese Chinese cuisine that I have ever found in North Carolina. The chef and owner of this restaurant is actually a lady from Guangzhou. Her family was musician family and has a YiGe musical instrument shop in Guangzhou. They keep the name. We ordered a combo of toast duck, pork & BBQ Pork. We ordered the braised To Fu & a plate of water spinach. We also order a lb of braised chicken feet 鳯爪 to eat there (special order). Everything is super good. We didn't expect there's such a super high standard of Cantonese cuisine in this place. After we took a few bites, we decided to write a review for them. The pictures were taken after we had started eating. The portions are very reasonable. I was told that there were many more great dishes including Canton style Beef Chow Fun 乾炒牛河。 During weekends & Sundays, poached chicken, steamed fish, ask them for special menu. I purchased 6 pounds of prepared chicken feet to go that I can steam at home. If one is a big fan of authentic Chinese Cantonese cuisine, you will never be disappointed. They will move to a close-by location for bigger venue. read more

We had not been to Yi Ge in a couple of years, so we arrived only to find the building in the WalMart shopping center had gone dark. Fortunately, we noticed the sign in the front explaining that they had moved across highway 70 and are temporarily sharing space with Kobe. About 25% of Kobe has been repurposed to serve Yi Ge customers while the majority of the restaurant is still dedicated to teppanyaki. Yi Ge's menu hasn't changed, so we tried duck egg rolls for an appetizer and I ordered the Hong Kong tofu, a favorite, for my entree. The duck egg rolls were actually spring rolls and didn't have any taste of duck to them. They also arrived at the table lukewarm. My Hong Kong tofu was just OK - the serving was not especially generous, it lacked flavor despite having two different types of chilis, and arrived at the table lukewarm. Past versions of this dish from Yi Ge have been extraordinary: flavorful, a bit spicy, perfectly cooked, and hot out of the wok. My dining companion received a massive serving of chow ho fun and thought that hers rated an OK too. Despite the Kobe section of the restaurant being very busy, service in the Yi Ge part of the restaurant was friendly and attentive. Prices for our entrees were definitely above average. This was just an OK, but Yi Ge is capable of better. Maybe they were having an off night? read more

OMG! So happy to have found this place. Found. As if I haven't driven by a zillion times lol. Was looking for some tasty lo mein, which can be difficult to find on a Monday because most Chinese joints near us are closed on Mondays. So happy that's not the case here. Meal was fresh and delicious! Quick and tasty. Nice quiet atmosphere. We will for sure be back! I can't wait to work my way down their list of noodle soups! read more

I give it a star because no stars wasn't an option. Called in the order the day before for pick up at 6pm in order to avoid the NYE crowds. The order was confirmed via phone the day before and again the morning of. Not only did the order not get made on time for pick up, we waited another 45 minutes for them to make the order. Also, had to drive across the street to another restaurant because the location on their website is no longer open. Piss poor management read more

The dim sum here was legit. We ordered everything from steamed buns to chicken feet and it was all on point. I liked that the food came out hot and fast, straight from the carts. The har gow was delicate and not too sticky. Busy spot but worth the wait. read more

We come here all the time and the food is ALWAYS amazing. Good date spot for sure! Second 5 star review for a reason. :)

Ordered takeout pork mei fun. Pork was tender and flavorful. I will definitely order again.

Stand alone restaurant in Wal mart parking lot. Pulled up at 3:30 on a Saturday, only car in parking lot. Went in, and we were the only diners. Portions were large, and prices were high. The only issue was that the food was bland with no taste. read more

Gals night out. Delicious food great service!!! I am so happy I found a wonderful Asian restaurant.

First visit. Great service. Coke products, iced tea. As authentic as you can get in NC. Plenty of Asian customers are a testament to that. Glad it's on joco. Tired of driving to Wake county for restaurants. My date had beef and mixed vegetables. He said could use a bit more spice, but the portion was great. I opted for something different and tried the Cantonese pan fried noodles with chicken. Another great portion, and loved the flavor of the fried noodles as they softened with the sauce. The vegetables were large cuts and added variety. The hot and sour soup was better than other take out Chinese, hearty with a nice vinegar bite. Portions were ample to have leftovers. Plan to visit soon to try other dishes. read more

This place in Clayton has some good authentic Cantonese cuisine. Taste wise the food was delicious. Where I have to dock some stars were the prices and service here. All of the dishes here were a good 5-6 bucks more than what I'm used to seeing in the RTP area. Take for example, I order beef chow ho fun for about 11 bucks in the triangle. Here it was 17 bucks. For 4 dishes, we ended up spending 100 dollars after tip and tax. The same amount of dishes I probably could have gotten away with spending around 60-70 dollars in RTP. That's a pretty big price gap. Service was also a bit on the slower side. There were about 3 other families dining in there with us so it wasn't a full house or anything but we ended up waiting around 20-30 min for the food to come out. And we had to ask for serving spoons after the food came out - should have automatically came out with some. Also had to swipe some eating utensils from another unused table. Like I said before, the food tasting amazing was the redeeming quality here but the prices and service left a lot to be desired. But then again taste is pretty good even in RTP joints. Also it wasn't like the portions were that much bigger than what I'm used to seeing in the Raleigh Durham area either. I'll stick with the authentic Chinese cuisines in the triangle. read more

We dined in and tried a few things. We had the ginger salad which is great. We had the steam Buns but didn't care for those at all. I had the noodle soup with dumplings and vegetables. It was fantastic. It had a broth, thin noodles, steamed carrots and celery and green onions. The dumplings are really good. The pork fried rice was as good as the soup. There are very few employees it seems but the food came out quick. They appeared to do a lot of call in and take out orders. Prices are a little higher than your usual Chinese take out read more

If I could give this place 10 stars, I would; it is INCREDIBLE. The staff is so friendly and the restaurant is very clean. The soup and salad were great.

A must-visit. don't let the empty parking lot pull you away, they do a large take out traffic. read more

I've been in twice. Never again. Employee's children wander the restaurant floor...as in 2 and 3 year olds. They approach you while you're trying to eat. Dirty hands. Snotty noses. If I wanted dinner at the day care center, I'd know where to find it. The food was remarkably unremarkable. The wait staff didn't speak English. For my experience in this place....they should have paid me. read more

The steak was of unknown origin and cut. Their chicken was the same. The egg rolls were freezer burnt, and they called to confirm the order, and still got it wrong, there's no soup, there's no salad, and it looks like it needs a good cleaning. If I could give NEGATIVE 50 that's what they would get. STAY AWAY FROM THEM!!! read more

They add sugar to the Hot and Sour Soup and serve Teriyaki sauce with their dumplings! Really disappointed. Why do they think they have to add sugar to things to feed Americans? Other things were just okay. Edible. read more

Waited 47 minutes from the time we ordered to the time our take out order was ready . Got home & a soup was missing. Nothing special , just like any other Chinese restaurant in any shopping center. .VERY $$$$$$ read more

My most recent visit I was a bit disappointing. I usually come for family outings and this time the service took long from ordering drinks to being served our food. The dining room wasn't even that full. The food was overall good.That was the saving grace today. The portions were smaller than usual and nothing really stood out. I hope today was just an off day. read more

Excellent service and food. The ambiance is very low key and quiet. Family friendly. Not a bar. Love the food and the wait staff is nice. Would definitely suggest this place to anyone who wants great tasting Asian food. Their duck pad Thai is outstanding. read more

Coming to this area is never a bad thing anymore since I'm able to get some authentic tasting asian eats ! I wish there were more of these places around . Coming from Northern Va / DC area ... we have lots of authentic asian options and this place is on par with some of the places in the DMV . So glad to see this place here .. Staff is always friendly and food is always yummy, definitely do yourself a favor and ask for a side of hot chili oil to spice things up a bit . The salt and pepper deluxe seafood dish was amazing and well cooked. The sweet and sour chicken is also very good . Their steamed dumplings aka soup dumplings weren't bad for being in clayton.. wish the dumpling skin was a lil thinner .. but overall flavor was good . Also try the Cantonese milk coffee .. if you're a bubble tea fan... this is not bad . read more

Good food. But expensive for what you get. Fried rice is delicious, but twice as much as any other place. Service is just okay

Excellent, authentic food! Big portions, everything is super fresh and delicious. Our favorite Saturday/Sunday lunch spot, especially if you're nursing a hangover! read more

Sorry for fowl language, but I got ducked. Hope to make a better review later on. This place could be pretty good. But I made the mistake of ordering the duck. My duck was in order - cold, mostly bone, what wasn't bone was fat, and it I looked really hard, I found some meat, but the meat was cold. Probably the grungiest restaurant meal I have had in a decade or more. Literally of the duck that was on my plate, 80% of it's mass was either bone or fat. The bone looked like it was cut through with a basement bandsaw. Really had to pick through the bone/fat to find the meat. I say this as a big, not-so-picky eater. I was really hungry, so what I should have done was sent it back, but I didn't. I mentioned all of this to the sever, in addition to him taking my plate of bone and fat, no discount, no refund. He was nice, not his fault really. My wife's dish was better, and good portion size. I ate some of hers and it was pretty good. She is the picky eater. Showed her my duck scraps and she pretty much said she would not be back, even though I want to give these guys another shot, avoiding the duck. Place was clean, our service was polite, friendly, and attentive, and we got in and out quickly. Menu was epically big. They could lose that duck, no one would notice, and they'll do a lot better. Hope to try another shot with another selection, but afraid my wife will mock me mercilessly. read more

Best Asian food around! As authentic as you can get in North Carolina. The duck here was tender, juicy, and excellent. Even better than then duck found in Raleigh. We got their Peking duck with Lo Mein Duck and Pad Thai Duck. The noodle dishes and vegetables are perfectly seared and fried, and have that East Asian seared Umami taste in every bite of the food. This level of Chinese food is unmatched by most Asian restaurants in America. Highly recommend. 5 stars. read more

The dishes are very authentic. Freshly cooked fried rice noodles and stir-fried vegetables have that distinctive "wok hei" flavor.

I don't eat Chinese food often but this place hands down is the best. Always good customer service, hot food and fresh food. They always give you enough for later or lunch the next day, and it warms up just right...iykyk. read more

The best, freshest food. It's always good, we've never had a bad meal. Even take out is amazing, it's still hot, and we live about 12 minutes away! It's definitely worth a try. You won't be disappointed! read more
