    James Beard Award--winning chef Andrea Reusing’s flagship restaurant brings together Asian flavors and North Carolina ingredients sourced mostly from local farms and purveyors. The menu changes seasonally, but the legendary tea-smoked roast chicken and chive-and-pork dumplings are staples. The small, intimate dining room is accented by hanging light fixtures of various shapes and sizes. Tucked away in the back of the restaurant, the red-hued bar area is a nice place to linger with a cocktail.
