David's Dumpling & Noodle Bar

A great hidden gem in Raleigh, we were greatest with a smile when we first walked in and then quickly seated. The server was prompt and very friendly. She took great care of us through the entire mean always making sure to keep drink glasses full and helping me choose between two of the menu items. We started our meal with a chicken Satay and the curry peanut sauce was well balanced between it's sweetness and curry flavors. For my entree I ended up going with the General Mao's chicken and my fiance got the Beef and Black bean. The food was delivered to our table quickly, it was fresh and hot. The flavor profile was well balanced with a subtle but complex array of flavors that felt full on the tongue. I had tried their blood orange Sunrise drink, pear sake, oj, and a splash of cherry juice I highly recommend it. We both finished our plates, the server thanked us again before leaving. The prices are reasonable in my opinion, for the two of us to eat only cost 50.00 before tip. If you have a free evening you should stop in and grab a bite to eat I promise you will not be disappointed!

Wow!!! We were in the area and had to stop somewhere for lunch and stumbled upon David's. It was incredible!!! The service was great, our waitress was so sweet, the food came out really quick and it was delicious. We loved it as well as our kids. Really affordable prices for lunch. We'll be back! Our favorites were the Hot & Sour Soup, pan fried dumplings, and sesame chicken!

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.

Amazing and authentic Asian food!!!! Everything was on point here compared to others. From Malaysian Chicken Curry with Indian Roti to just salt and pepper wings I was completely satisfied. Definitely somewhere you should check out.

This place was great, the staff was super friendly and attentive, we went about an hour to close and were out before closing time and weren't rushed at all. The portions are very large and the prices are reasonable for the serving sizes. I think i paid $60 for both of us after tip. And we both had enough for leftovers.

Wow. I was not expecting to be blown away by this place. I checked out the reviews and and decided to give it a shot for Valentine’s Day (Feb ‘18). I’m so glad I did, as this might be my new go-to place for delicious Asian food.

Service was impeccable - fast, friendly, helpful, and attentive (never had to ask for a thing!). Food was beyond tasty - loads of flavor in every dish we tried. Honestly, the Pork Steam Buns might be one of my new favorite dishes in the triangle - they are that good. As far as price, this is only slightly pricier, if not about the same price depending on what you order, as our neighborhood Chinese place, and this place is leaps and bounds better. With that said, I will absolutely choose David’s now!

Happy customer and will return!

My son insisted that we get dumplings for dinner- so to Google we came and found that on a Friday night we can probably get a seat at 7:00. The menu is good- as is the service. The steam buns seemed to be a popular option.

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.

Our server, Wing, was a delight and took great care of us while the staff was short handed.
The pork dumplings, hot n sour soup (with homemade crunchy noodles!), hunan shrimp (see photo), and Ginger Garlic Chicken were all top notch. The chicken is tender and velvety. All veggies were fresh, fresh, fresh!
This is arguably the best Asian restaurant in the Triangle. Enjoy!

This has become a favorite Asian place to go for lunch on Sundays.

The dumplings are always fresh!

On our numerous visits we have had the Malaysian chicken curry, wonton soup, hot and sour soup, half fried dumplings, the fresh summer rolls, Vietnamese fried chicken spring rolls, and other dishes.

They were all delicious!

amazing little hidden gym that I feel like a lot of people don't know is there. The food is delicious and the service I great, everyone is nice and polite. The atmosphere is good very relaxing and the lights are like the perfect brightness.

UPDATED October 20, 2022: Once again, a good experience at David's Dumplings. Food was served quickly and hot. Today I got the Ginger and Garlic Chicken. It was very good.

----------------------------

First time here and I really enjoyed it! Staff was super helpful. At first glance, menu looks small (only one, single sided page), but with all the options, there's quite a selection. I got the veggie Pad Thai and it was delicious.

I can't wait to go back and try something else...

David's Dumpling and Noddle Bar is delicious! I've tried several of their noodles and dumplings now, and I've loved each one. They have plenty of options for vegans and vegetarians as well. Each noodle dish is offered with a choice of protein, which includes tofu, but also things like pork and beef. The servers are always wonderful and always check about food allergies and restrictions. I would definitely recommend David's, I love it!

Great location Amazing food & Wonderful service! This place hit it out of the park. Our server Ian was informative, he explained different menu items to us. He was thoughtful closing blinds without us asking, it was neat sunset. He also offered a kids cup and various other things to assist with our toddler being present. We loved the food and will definitely be returning. 🥰

Vegetable/tofu curry was very good and a great portion as well. Cozy atmosphere and excellent service 👌

What a nice and comfortable restaurant! The menu has chinese, Thai, Vietnamese choices. The cocktails list is quite long so you better ask the waitress foe the most popular because would take. While to come to a decision what yo for k. Food is fresh, delicious, well prepared and with nice presentation. Service is quick. Ambiance unique with its brick walls and huge picture depicting owners early beginners

Located in the same space as the once popular Daryl's (lots of memories there), David's Dumpling & Noodle is definitely worth a try. I had David's Fried Rice with Shrimp and Chinese Sausage. Delicious! A bit pricey for lunch, but seems COVID has driven lunch prices up about $2 everywhere.

Tried for the first time and honestly, best in the area! The restaurant is clean. The staff is AMAZING ! The food is even better reheated. My office staff and I will be back!! Thank you for accommodating our large party in such an amazing way!

I've been s few times now and the family thinks this is the best food option in Raleigh. Nice and close to the school as well.

The dumplings didn't disappoint. They are definitely worth ordering a few kinds to share. On top of that our main dishes were delicious, perfectly seasoned and came out nice and hot. The generous portions make everything sharable or going to take home and have again! Our waitress was so attentive she kept our glasses full but never interrupted a single conversation. I definitely recommend it!
