chuan cafe

"Chuan Cafe is one of the best Chinese food options around here. It offers Szechuan cuisine with minimalistic decor. A must-try is the Bamboo Flounder Fish, and the Dry-Fried String Beans were really good! Some dishes might cause a mouth-numbing sensation due to Szechuan peppers."

"Of all the great restaurants that RTP has to offer, Chuan Cafe is amongst the top three for me. Their Szechuan food hits differently - so much savory flavor with the perfect numbing sensation and spice levels. Our go-to meals are spicy Chongqing chicken, bamboo flounder, toothpick lamb, and dry fried green beans. We always opt to dine-in because the restaurant has a nice interior and the staff are attentive. I hope this restaurant continues to thrive!"

"We came in at the odd hour (3:30pm on Sunday). So we were the only table that dined in (but many take-out orders when we were there.) The taste is quite authentic. The stir-fried shredded potato is the best I had. The new dish garlic sauce lotus root is too sweet to our liking so 1 star off. The restaurant is clean, and the food is yummy. Although they don't have a waiter or waitress, Mr.Lee, who takes the order, is attentive to satisfy our requests. We would definitely return."

"We went to this place for lunch and it was great!! The service was prompt and the restaurant was nice and clean! I love Chinese food and I was looking for a Din Tai Fung (my comfort food) duplicate here in NC because that place is only on the West Coast and this place is pretty spot on! My absolute favorite is the wonton in chili oil and the steamed chicken slices are a close second. I would get everything again except for the Dan Dan noodles. They were okay, but not particularly my preference bc of the taste that remains in the back of my throat after eating it (from the oil/sauce) so I’ll try another one of their noodle dishes! Highly recommend this place and will be back!"

"We ordered delivery from this restaurant. We were very pleased with the quality of the food and the rapid delivery. We ordered Kung Pao Chicken, Stir Fry Chicken and Mushrooms, Vegetable Fried Rice, and Pork Buns. There was a large portion of chicken as well as mushrooms in the Chicken and Mushroom stir fry. The food was tasty and well seasoned. The portion size was large enough to have plenty of leftovers for tomorrow. We have been looking for a "go-to" Chinese food restaurant. I think we have found it!"
