David's Dumpling & Noodle Bar

The place is nice, great ambience! The staff is excellent, very attentive and helpful. But the food is just ok. We ordered green papaya salad with beef and Malaysian Roti with chicken curry (roti canai) for appetizers. The green papaya salad was good but the roti was frozen roti from an Asian store warmed on a pan (we buy it often so we knew). The chicken curry could have used a bit more coconut milk to make it more Malaysian. For entrées, we got Hunan beef and cashew chicken. They were ok too. The beef was not spicy but maybe because we’re used to spicier food. The cashew chicken had plenty of cashews, but was a tad sweet. The sauces for both dishes seemed the same to me. But the staff was great.

I went to an event at NC State and stopped here afterwards. I would say that the dumplings are really good and I recommend them as an appetizer. The main dish I had was okay but was lacking a bit in flavor. I've had a lot of authentic SE Asian food, and this was more Americanized. Overall, nice restaurant.

I honestly could not say enough great things about the food!! I had the open top shrimp and pork shui mai dumplings and Malaysian curry noodle soup and both were exquisite!! The server was very nice and the food came out quick. I look forward to visiting again next time I’m in Raleigh.

We went on a Saturday at 5pm, no wait. Staff was friendly and the food came out quickly. Food was yummy! We ordered the edamame and half fried dumplings, both were good but the entrees were tastier. The lo mein in particular was delicious!! If we go back we’ll order that again and try other dishes. All in all, great experience and our whole family loved the place.
