Kdogs are soooo good and a great size!!! It’s definitely worth the money! I went to the fair and was able to get a kdog for the 2nd time and I got the full mozza with Hot Cheetos on it 10/10

We had a Half-and-Half, a Potato Half-and-Half, and a Mozza, with both sets of fries. Fantastic food!

First time trying a K-Dog, and it was a great impression. I was never a fan of corn dogs. The batter of the K-dog was completely different. I got the one with half cheese and half sausage. It was so savory and had a hint of sweetness that pairs so well with the orange sauce and the sweet chili sauce.

poor, poor, poor. outside is not kept. looks abandoned. food not bad.

It was authentic dim sum, and not Americanized which was what my friend and I were looking for! Food was great, the only thing was once they got busy service suffered a bit. Inside also looks like it needs a bit of work and is very confusing, I think they serve both Mexican and Chinese food at the same time. Even though it has its flaws, if you're looking for authentic Chinese food, this is the place to go!

Came in on a Sunday after Chinese New Year. They have converted their bigger area to cater to Spanish food. The smaller area where they use to serve a la cart is now the only part that serves the Dim sum. They seem overwhelmed with the customers and the food in the cart had very few Dimsum. I'd hate to say it but if they don't step up I'll be going back to Morrisvile for my Dimsum.

we were there on the Saturday afternoon, there were no one to greet us at the front. We waited about 10 minutes, finally a waiter took us to the table. The food tasted ok but not hot (temperature wise). we ordered some dim sum dishes, they cam out luke warm. They only have 3 waiters/ bus boys for the whole dim sum side of the restaurant. On the Saturday???

NEVER coming here again. I came in at 12:20 on a Saturday. The place was busy but definately not full. I was totally ignored while a party of 6 came in and were seating right away. I asked if I had a seat myself and was told they could not accommodate a party of one. Such horrible service--IF you want to call it that. I will keep my money in my pocket.

Tried out on a short visit to Raleigh, ordered a few standard items - pork/bamboo shoot bean curd wrap, rice crepe with roast pork, Singapore style vermicelli with seafood, eggplant stuffed with shrimp paste and egg tart the bean curd wrap was the best of the lot it was flavorful without too much seasoning the two bad items were the stuffed eggplant which had the shrimp paste blob sitting atop two joined slices of eggplant, not really stuffed you need either a knife to cut it into manageable mouthful or disassemble the thing to smaller bites the worst item which earn this place a fail is the rice crepe - you need a spoon to eat the crepe rolls because it was so watery it has the consistency of congealed congee the roast pork that it wrapped around taste like it has been in thee fridge for at least couple of days saw an adjacent table order a crepe also and they ended up leaving their mess on their plate, can't be eaten using chopsticks upside is all the food came out of the kitchen piping hot

This restaurant is huge, but I believe one side serves Mexican food while the other side serves Chinese food. I had come scouting for good dim sum, and I was a bit worried that the Mexican side looked a lot more popular (around noon on a Sunday). However, the dim sum was pretty good but may be a hit or miss depending on what you order. I couldn't try a large selection given that I came by myself, but I enjoyed my congee (which is pricier than the other dishes), pork sticky rice wrapped in lotus leaf, and beef ribs. Just fair warning, however, that all the dishes were fairly oily - but thankfully not as bland as other dim sums I've been served in NC (Morrisville). I usually love chicken feet and shrimp dumplings, but I would pass next time; the former was bordering on soggy and bland and the latter dry, honestly. There were two Chinese families ordering xiao long bao (soup dumplings) out of three that were there, so note to self... It's a mixed cart (does one cart count?)- cartless system, but perhaps not enough people were there. I thought the service was fine for dim sum, otherwise. For NC, I'd give this 3.5/4 stars since I'd come back if it wasn't as far from me.
The fried shrimp balls were horrible. The filling was not edible. They seemed like they fried a sponge and i eat almost any thing. So you know it was bad

Anything on C Boulevard is shade made and this un-golden tin palace is no exception. When I walked in I thought I was at a Mexican restaurant because there was a Fiesta going on, full swing, like everyone was gonna bust out sing "I like to be in America". It was a festive private bash. We were seated away from el pueblo and we decided to order it all. I had met various Asian students at state who said they were told this place was la BOMBA. The dumplings were really good. We had the pork and chive and the shrimp ones. The Wonton soup was almost white in virginal essence but tasteless and took forever to touch my lips because it took them 20 min to bring it. The noodles on the Dim Sum menu were just ok, chicken, meat and small things resembling shrimp were in the mix. The shrimp fried rice had the texture of a slimy, badly constructed risotto with the small shrimp of contamination. Then my BF decided to order some custard tarts which never arrived. The food was ok and not worth risking your life on Capitol Boulevard over. With so many choices and so many burrows now in the Triangle of Tomorrow, why come to a place that has fame but no worthy name. Go elsewhere.

Picked up some food to go here a few weeks ago. The Lady that took my order was extremely nice and great customer service. Unfortunately, the food was terrible I had to trash it. Whoever cooked the rice- had no clue what they were doing. The egg roll was super soggy!! To be honest I wasn't expecting much. after all... we are talking about Chinese food in the south. But, I never thought it could be this bad.

It has become a tradition among my father and I to eat here as we have been doing it for almost a year now! That being said, the food is so delicious and the staff are so happy to do anything for you. Recently I have noticed they have cut some items off the menu, where the menu was 2 sided it's now one. Not sure if they weren't selling those items or what but they have kept everything that I always order. Always a delicious time when I come here!

The dim sum is the best and most authentic in Raleigh (looking at you David's) It was like they stole the cookbook from Tim Ho Wan's. Not a bad idea. Dim Sum is always a good choice and if I venture back I will stray and order something else, but its not why I hit this place.
