James Beard Award–winning chef Andrea Reusing 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. The back parking lot has been reimagined as a pop-up Garden Spot for guest chef events in warm weather.
