So good! Not easy to stumble upon, but worth seeking out. The food is fresh, inventive, and full of flavor! I had a bowl of chilled ramen with a scoop of avocado on top, perfect for a hot NC day. Service is friendly and knowledgeable. The menu has plenty of options for meat eaters and vegetarians and vegans. I’m definitely going back because it was so hard to choose one thing and there are plenty of specials and sides I need to check out too. Also they stay open until 9 pm, unlike most food options in the RTP.
First time here! Loved the pork belly sandwich! And the flavors and bread are really fresh! The sweet potato salad and cucumber sides are on point! Will definitely come back!!! Hidden gem here!
During a business trip to RDU, I discovered this restaurant while browsing Google Maps, and I'm so glad I did. I stopped by for lunch and ordered the Baht Mi, which featured BBQ short rib, honey peanut sauce, fresh herbs, pickled vegetables, and chiles. It was absolutely spectacular! The meal was so incredible that I returned for dinner and tried the Naem Banh Mi, made with spicy Thai sausage, chilies, cucumber, coconut cream, pickled vegetables, cilantro, and toasted flaked coconut. I also had a side of spicy pickled carrots. It was simply too good to resist a second visit before heading back to the airport, so I stopped in for lunch again and ordered the Scofflaw Porchetta, which was slow-cooked for 36 hours and served with garlic aioli and broccoli. It was off the charts delicious. I truly wish this place were in my hometown! Do yourself a favor and visit this restaurant multiple times. You won't regret it!
I visit this place everytime i am in Durham. The Baht Mi is the most amazing sandwich i have ever had. The bread is amazingly crisp and tasty. Just perfect.
If you go, go hungry! Sandwiches were super tasty and everything was fresh and made to order. Staff were friendly and upbeat service was great. Highly recommend.
