Veitnamese & Chinese Food in North Carolina RTP area

Vietnamese Food

As I am from more of a Vietnamese background, Adym and I have been on the search for really good Vietnamese food. Everything I have ordered at these two places have been moderately priced.

I definitely can’t give you any sort of star ratings because these are mom and pop places which I consider yummy hole in the wall food fair.

Pho Cali
3310 Capital BlvdRaleigh, NC 27604(919) 862-8900

Pho Cali is the best for authentic Vietnamese food in the area. Everything I have eaten here has been the best in RTP. If you have eaten Vietnamese food in New York, San Francisco or Houston you will find that it is not up to par. However, everything I have eaten on their menu is really good. I love the Bo Kho and Com Suong.

Dalat Oriental Restaurant
2109 Avent Ferry Rd # 110Raleigh, NC 27606(919) 832-7449
Adym and I haven’t eaten here in a few months but I would definitely recommend you order all foods as take out and enjoy at home. Their food is pretty good and at a fair price for the area.

Dim Sum (Brunch)

The best place to eat dim sum that we have tried is http://www.neo-china.com/.
If you have eaten dim sum in New York then you may not think this is up to snuff as a competitor. However, if you live in RTP this is definitely the place to go. They make everything a little different than you would expect. However, it will definitely cure some cravings for dim sum dishes. Also I love to eat the egg custard dessert. Their egg custard is just as good as the egg custard I have eaten in New York. It makes me feel like a kid again.

Chinese Food
And finally for the best Chinese Food I STRONGLY recommend The Duck and Dumpling. This place is not a hole in the wall and a bit pricey. It is fusion food. So do not expect traditional Chinese fair. The cucumber soup, squash soup, dumplings and scallops are roll your eyes in the back of your head good. Everything is always plated beautifully and made to perfection! It's so good, I have to compare it to the best Chinese food I have eaten in New York as a kid. There service here is friendly and prompt. This is a 5 out of 5 for everything!
