We thought we'd do something wild and crazy this weekend and go to Cary.

Are there any good Chinese (or Vietnamese) restaurants?

Thanks.

Super Wok - ask for the authentic menu.

We love Red Bowl Asian Bistro in Cary. It is a combination of Chinese, Thai and Japanese. It's one of the best, no doubt. We have never been disappointed and we were basically weekly customers. We had our own booth.

Everyone has different tastes in Asian food. Personally, we think the Red Bowl is the worst Asian Food we've ever had....the sushi is the only decent thing there. We found most of the other dishes tasted like thickened soy sauce. I'd highly recommend:
1. Tangerine Cafe corner of Cary Parkway/Old Apex Rd. Fantastic food! Small non-descript place.
2. Sushi-Thai - Kilmayne/Kildaire Farm Rd - huge menu, nice atmoshere.
Hope you have a great dinner.

Meat and vegetable with brown sauce seems to be a pretty common theme at Red Bowl (not impressed).

My favorite chinese places right now are Super Wok and 35 Restaurant (their chinese menu).

We like 35 as well (we ask the waitstaff to pick our meals from the chinese menu...)

Wild and crazy for sure!!

Everyone -- thank you!!!

Red Bowl is bad...that's all I got. But thanks to everyone else for helping me too!

I highly second Super Wok. I also love Pei Wei and have had nice meals at Orient Garden.

For Vietnamese, you can try Lotus Leaf if it is still open, and there is the upscale Asian fusion restaurant called An off Harrison Ave.

Can't say offhand, but I do know that if you have to walk up to a counter and order, don't expect to be dazzled. (PS I have been to places like that where the food was good, but that doesn't exist anywhere in the Raleigh/Cary area).

Anyone comment on the places along Chapel Hill Blvd? Don't recall names offhand but I've seen a bunch.
