My family comes from New York City, so we KNOW authentic food. After moving to Chapel Hill, we were dissappointed at the lack of Chinese food! We've tried out every single Chinese restaurant in the Durham-Chapel Hill-Carrboro area, and this is the single place we come to again and again.\r
While at other restaurants you can chow on ""americanized"" Chinese (sesame chicken, fried rice, spring rolls), you can have some REAL Chinese at this place! We're talking chicken feet, taro, hombow...\r
The food is delicious!\r
The wait staff is so friendly, too! They've come to know us personally when we come in the door :)\r
An IMPORTANT tip: Don't arrive there after 10:45 or so for bruch/lunch, because it starts to get extremely busy. The restaurant is humbly small (although very pretty), and there get to be 30 or so groups there waiting. We always get there around 10 or 10:20, and this seems to be the ideal time. By the time we're leaving, there's a huge crowd around the door!\r
Enjoy THE fabulous Chinese restaurant in the area!!
Pros: Incredible food, quick seating if you arrive early, wonderful and friendly service
Cons: Gets really busy at times, small-ish
