You’ve got to try the Sesame Chicken. Everyone who loves Chinese cuisine makes this a regular stop.
Call me old I don't care. But this is one of the high lights of my time in Durham as a student. We have since lived in NYC, LA, DC and have been to many excellent Chinese restaurants, but one that truly serves authentic comfort food that in a relaxed low key setting, it truly is second to none. Every time we come across Durham we try to make a stop for it (including 50% pct of time when it is not even operating hours😭). Its like homecoming each time. This time we came in on a snowy Friday night and NO one else is dining there. It is so nice and peaceful. People are missing out on this place. In a world full of buffet chains and seemingly standard take out Chinese, or fancy exotic new school of fusion Chinese, this one is a throw back and remains hidden gem, and feels being drown out. Still operated by the same family for nearly 30years, I am very worried it may just one day decide to hang all up, leaving only great memories behind. It would be a shame.
P.s. we came back to it next afternoon on our trip back home trying to get another meal out of it before skipping town, and like so many times, it was closed😫😫😫. We will be back.
Really good food. Hot & sour soup and egg drop soup were both great. Egg roll and spring roll were delicious. Beef and broccoli and double delight Kung pao were marvelous. We both have leftovers enough for another meal.
