Tea Restaurants in Durham, NC

“Wonderful kaiseki dinner with the food quality and service level you’d expect to get in Japan! Amazing experience!!!“

“My first waiter was excellent, offered me a peach black tea since unsweet iced tea wasn't on the menu. It was absolutely wonderful. He disappeared after serving my entree, as did the service.,

There are so many things on the menu. Many items that are not Americanized. Yay! I'm a white female, and I love a good Szechuan kung pao chicken. Firey, numbing, savory, not sweet. I know from prior visits that Wheat can deliver on flavor. The chicken was very tender, the seasoning was a bit spicy, and I caught the vinegar notes that make a great kung pao. I missed the numbing buzz from Chinese peppercorns. Sugar's presence made itself known, sadly. Jalapenos were plenteous. I would prefer more toasted peanuts than jalapenos, but that's minor.

On previous visits I got the hainanese chicken which was gentle, soothing, and delicious. I'm going to remember it for those times I need a good protein but my tummy is hurting. Truly great medicine.“
