Ordered online. Ordered totaled $90 plus service fee for the online order. Cashier ignored us at pickup. When we asked for Duck sauce for egg rolls they told us they were out. The General Tsao's chicken and orange chicken look and taste identical. Lo Mein has no flavor--at all. And we requested Triple Delight spicy and it is not. Finally, there were no fortune cookies in our bag when we got home. We called to speak to someone and we were told there was no one to help us and to call "maybe tomorrow" when the owner might be there. We were so excited when the new owners took over last winter, updated the menu, and started making dumplings and noodles in house. We have had good food from them previously. So disappointing that the quality has declined so rapidly. Restaurant lacks consistency in food quality

Authentic asian food with hand-spun noodles at an affordable price. Service was quick and good. Pretty expansive menu as well.

We got a recommendation to give Asian Kitchen a try from my fiancés boss. They had been talking about how we like to go try new restaurants. Especially authentic ones. Her Bos's title her we had to try this place. She stopped with her kids one day and they fell in love We got there maybe 2 hours before close. It was busy but not packed. Comfortable. Welcoming. Staff seated us right away. Super friendly. We took a look at the menu and were excited to see so many genuine authentic Chinese dishes. For appetizers we got the : 1.) beef Filet w/ tripe in chili sauce. It was soooooo good. I loved it. ( too spicy for my fiancé lol) The heat was very spicy but after a while you acclimate nicely. I enjoy tripe so Texture were really nice. (Be mindful if you not a fan of different/weird textures because you might not like it.) I still recommend trying it at least once! If you like spicy You won't regret it!10/10 2.) spinach and chicken dumplings to share. They came in an order of 10! Very flavorful, definitely handmade. We couldn't eat them all so a coup came home with us. lol . 9/10. For our mains we got the : Twice Cooked Pork - recommended by my fiancé boss as her family's go to dish. It did not disappoint. The thinly sliced pork belly packed a deep rich and satisfying flavor I'll be thinking about for a long time. It is CRAVEABLE. The peppers added a wonderful flavor and crunch to the dish. Served perfectly with a side of white rice. 10/10 Short Rib Shaved Noodles - the only way I can describe this dish is life giving. It was one of the most flavorful, rich broths I've probably ever had. The shaved noodles were cooked to perfection. Beef short ribs so tender. As I was eating this dish all I could think was next time I had a cold. I'm ordering 2 orders of this incredible soup to make me feel better. I cannot recommend this enough. 10/10 We cannot wait to go back and try more of this amazing menu!

Soooo disappointed!!! Will never return! Be careful with what you ordered! They are not honest with the ingredients that they cooked for customers. Overprice with the quality of the meals.The first time take out, They forgot to give me one dish, and everything was too greasy and salty. We have to use water to rinse the veggies to eat and drink tons of water. They probably use too much MSG!Do not order spicy chicken in hot chili sauce. The fried chicken is too dried, small pieces and with a lot of greasy chicken skin. We can tell it’s all little pieces from the chicken that they don’t want and they reuse it for this dish.Second time take out, we went back because they forgot one of the dish last time. And they will make it up this time. I ordered Hunan chicken $28.99 ( the right side on the picture) and was thinking it must be a whole cut chickens. I couldn’t believe what I saw !!!! The half of it was bone!!! And small pieces of meat. Feels like I was eating the bad part of chicken that they was going to dump it away. But they reuse it again! And charged more than $30 with tax!!! And the noodles was cold!So so disappointed!!!

Food was good, however a tip is not mandatory!! You should by no means confront your customers because they did not leave a tip. I do understand it's nice to get a tip, unfortunately customers will not be able to tip all the time. I found it to be very unprofessional. Please keep that in mind as a tip for future reference.

A lot of folks may not know this but i love going on foodie adventures with friends and sharing my experiences. So, if you're looking for authentic Chinese food, check out Asian Kitchen in Durham. Laughs and decadent aromas filled the air during when we walked into the room. It was so cool watching the head chef make noodles and the process of cooking the shaved noodles. Everything tasted delicious from the dumplings (the chili oil dumplings were ridiculously good) to the spicy fried shrimp, and even the stir fried shrimp ramen.

Delivered with no sauces (sweet sour, soy, hot mustard)... large egg drop soup, but barely any of the fried bits to put on top... lo mien dish was 99% noodles and about 1% veg or meat... they don't seem to pay attention to detail
Dumplings in chili oil were outstanding! I also had stir fried shaved noodles with shrimp. The sauce was plain but flavorful. I'll go again and likely ask for some stir fried cabbage on top. The shaved noodles were great texture and had excellent flavor but could used some veggies. Service was good!

They don’t have a lot of stuff from the menu but the noodles texture is prefect.

Loved eating noodles here! The hand pulled ramen style noodles are the best. We tried both the shaved noodles and hand pulled ramen noodles but the hand pulled noodles are the best! You get to see them making the noodles as you enter into the shop. My favorite was the braised beef ramen noodle soup. Come here to try their noodles.

This resturant looks like nothing on the outside or the inside. However you will quickly realize why this restaurant is full of Asians from all over. When you enter the restaurant you see a glass box in which a man makes noodles from scratch. It's quite a sight while we wait for our table. All noodles in this restaurant are hand made and you realize that difference as soon as you eat them. This is the most authentic Chinese food you can find in the area. Its absolutely delicious.The atmosphere gets a 3 because the place is a little dingy looking and nothing good to look at. This is not a place for you to take Instagram pictures in. But the food is amazing.
