23 Best Asian Fusion Restaurants near Carrboro

“I was not really in the mood for sushi, but a friend insisted. We started with cocktails. Perfection! We ordered two rolls to share as a starter. The Diablo roll and Saro were a magical combination of spicy and subtle. We then enjoyed an order of duck boa buns. The duck was tender and succulent, not too fatty. I ended with the city noodles with shrimp. Even though I was already pretty full, I couldn’t stop with the noodles! Comfort in a bowl is the only way to explain it. The balance of all the flavors coupled with fresh cilantro and green onions….so good!
Most importantly though was the whole vibe. We could actually hear each other talk and our waiter was so on point with the service. I came in feeling grumpy and I left feeling happy. Couldn’t ask for more!“

“We had an absolutely wonderful experience at Iza. We had fantastic crafted cocktails and an appetizer of crispy Brussels sprouts which were the best we had ever had. Two of us have some allergy restrictions and they could not have been more amenable to creating us delicious and allergy safe foods. They even brought us out a few specially created dishes that were truly the best we had ever tasted. The customer service is impeccable, from the bartender to our server, to the owners making our dining experience one we will remember! We will be coming back to Iza very soon and highly recommend!! Loved it!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻“

“Food was amazing. I had the egg rolls and they are out of this world. The crispy texture on the outside with the warm juicy jambalaya rice had my taste buds jumping. The dipping sauce definitely adds to the experience.

The staff on this food truck made me feel very welcomed. Greeted with smiles, served with love if you haven’t tried their food I would definitely recommend“

“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.“
