“Great, creative food and excellent cocktails. Thanks for looking after the large wedding group last night. The wine was fantastic too, the whole trio of white, rosé and red. It looked like everyone had a great time, just like me!“

“First time visiting, but won’t be the last. Loved the food with unique flavorful dishes you won’t find anywhere else. Food arrived quickly and hot. I also appreciate that the menu gave very detailed descriptions especially since I’m not familiar with an Asian fused soul food menu.Couldn’t decided what to order because every combo appeared delicious. Ordered enough to sample. Now we’ll order the rest of the menu for a future return visit.Currently open on Saturdays.“

“Very good food environment and service, everything is so perfect and will come back.“

“Love their Fried Green Tomatoes and Steak Frites!!“

“Since I moved to Chapel Hill, Lucha Tigre has been my favorite restaurant. Their service and quality can’t be denied, but I am so upset that the Asian Glazed Chicken (my favorite dish) has been removed from the menu.“

“Everything was excellent, from the food to the service. We will definitely be coming back again soon!“

“For some reason, everyone was packed onto one side of the dining area. We were right on top of people to our left and right, but figured they may be short staffed. The waitress was very sweet, bless her heart. The food is delicious and the portion is good. However, I don't think the food quality and portions explain the ridiculously high prices. I don't think I'd eat here again, because Soo Cafe has food just as good for a cheaper price.“

“Girls just wanna have pho! 😎 Stumbled upon this fantastic gem, the most delicious grilled pork banh mi I ever had, the bread was deliciously soft in the middle and a crispy crunch on the outside mixed with all the wonderful flavors. The crab rangoons came out hot and piping were perfectly fried with crispy ends! ❤️“

“Their Strawberry Boba Milk Tea is to die for!! Make sure you get the strawberry popping boba pearls too!! Spicy 9 has Great Vibes, restaurant is always clean and looks amazing. Staff is very friendly and courteous and the music is always great and creates a whole vibe!! Definitely a great spot to check out when in #“

“Hunam in Chapel Hill is one of those rare places that quietly becomes part of the fabric of a community. There’s a reason it’s been around for decades.

From the moment you walk in, there’s a sense that this place is cared for. Not curated for trendiness, not redesigned every few years to keep up, but cared for in a steady, genuine way. Nelson and his wife run Hunam with a kind of consistency and warmth that you can feel. It’s the kind of hospitality that doesn’t need to announce itself; it just shows up in how you’re greeted, how your food is prepared, and how the space is maintained.

The back party room is a hidden gem. The walls are lined with beautiful wallpaper he imported from China. Sitting around the large round tables with a lazy Susan in the center feels almost ceremonial, like you’re meant to slow down, share, and stay awhile. It’s not just a place to eat, it’s a place to gather.

The food is simple, satisfying, and reliably good. The kind of dishes you crave after a long day, flavorful, comforting, and generously portioned. Even better, it’s still affordable, which feels increasingly rare.

Hunam hasn’t lasted this long by chasing trends. It’s lasted because it’s rooted in something much more enduring: family, care, and a genuine connection to the people it serves. Places like this don’t just stay open, they become beloved.“

“Celebrated Chinese New Year with friends on Sunday at Lunch time. We were the only table but they were very busy with takeout orders. We ordered Happy Family, General Taos Chicken. Seafood Delight, Chicken wings, steamed Broccoli, noodles and pork dish and shared. All of the dishes were very good and the waitress took time to take photos for us.“
