Hong Kong Chinese Restaurant

It is magnificent and a rarity to have true, authentic Hong Kong Dim sum in Durham. The wait out the door, and before the restaurant even opens, speaks to the quality and humble experience this restaurant brings to our community. I love that they serve hot soybean milk and Chinese donuts. It takes me back to the days I studied in China, and would stop on my bike for Word to the wise, this restaurant is for people who are open to global flavors, as well as the semi-hectic experience that is dim sum. For me, that’s half the fun.

If you are looking for authentic dim sum, look no further than here. We love coming here on the weekends for lunch when they have the carts but be aware this can be a slightly stressful experience with long waits due to popularity and short staffing. You also have to occasionally be assertive to get specific dishes you want from the carts. For these reasons, we also love coming for early dinners during the week or on the weekend when you can order whatever you want directly off the menu. A few of our favorites include the ginger scallion beef tripe, turnip cake, taro crescent, stuffed eggplant, and spareribs in black bean sauce. Ultimately, everything is delicious and up to par with dim sum restaurants in San Fransisco and New York City's China Town.

1st time we visit this place and we were happy with the food we ordered. We ordered dim sum and haven't tried other dishes. The dimsum is way better than the ones we had had around RDU area, kinda authentic. The service is ok, nothing to complain.
