Best Southeast Asian Restaurant Cary Near Me

Marina Mochkina: One word: overrated. The ambience is very pretentious along with ridiculously overpriced food. Don’t mind paying top dollar but not if the food is average and waiters have an attitude. Won’t be back, to say the least.

Michael J. Reilly III: Absolute perfection. We had Oscar as our server. He was so nice and was very spot on. As was the bus boy , he asked and was genuinely concerned about our experience there as well. Both were very engaging.The Lobster Roll app and the Wagu beef skillet were delicious. The pork meatball/ noodle bowl & the surf & and turf plate were sublime. My filet I could cut w my fork, melted in my mouth. Cocktails were nice, and the overall vibe made for an incredible birthday celebration. Certainly returning.

Shinya A: The dinner we had here was delicious. The menu can be pricey but I do believe you are getting what you pay for. Their dessert selection is good. This is not a place to bring children because it is a more of a fine dining and business class feel restaurant. It has a romantic ambiance of dim lighting and decor. I highly recommend this place for a birthday, celebration, anniversary, or date night.

Vitaliy Levit: I'm rather flabbergasted to find MC Modern boasting such a high rating among food enthusiasts. My recent visit, an occasion to celebrate my mother's special day, left me with a bitter taste - metaphorically, of course. The cuisine, hospitality, and general atmosphere left much to be desired.My family and I made an early entrance just as the doors opened, and despite the vacant dining area, our server took an alarmingly lengthy time to acknowledge our presence. His demeanor lacked the cheer one would expect from a person in his profession.Our interactions with him were unfortunately characterized by us beckoning for his attention to accommodate our most basic requests - be it placing our orders for starters, drinks, clearing our table, refilling our water glasses, or even providing new chopsticks after he mistakenly cleared away the ones we were using.Our server's knowledge regarding the restaurant's sake offerings was equally disappointing - he was unaware and unable to articulate the available options. His lack of attention was all the more puzzling given our table was one of the few he had to attend to.Then arrived the food, and I must admit, I was taken aback.The Caesar salad was laced with wasabi, a combination that unfortunately did not appeal to our palates. Additionally, its presentation was unappetizing - a massive slab that required further cutting. This, combined with poor dressing, compromised the salad's flavor profile.The edamame, although consumable, was overcooked, falling short of the standard you'd expect from a grocery store like Trader Joe's.The coconut shrimp dish, though aesthetically pleasing at first sight, was a letdown as we discovered that the actual shrimp were minuscule, engulfed in a thick layer of undercooked tempura batter and doused in an overpoweringly spicy sauce.The wagyu sushi was, in a word, uninspiring. Overcooked and devoid of flavor, it bore no resemblance to the wagyu we're accustomed to.Their Otoro tuna belly, which boasts being the priciest sushi on the menu, was the biggest letdown. Sliced incorrectly, this normally tender cut was chewy and hard, with a considerable piece of tough fat still attached.Our Chirashi dish was conspicuously absent until our forgetful waiter was reminded of its omission. When it did arrive, the presentation was disappointing. It seemed hastily assembled - scraps of fish strewn atop the rice, missing the essence of what a Chirashi should be. However, it was the taste that truly left a bitter impression - the fish tasted distressingly stale, akin to being left out for days.I had to send it back to the kitchen, after which a person who appeared to be a front-of-house manager approached, offering me an alternative without a word of apology or even making eye contact.For MC Modern to be considered for a future visit, a significant overhaul is necessary, both in the culinary team and the front-of-house management. As it stands, I feel compelled to dissuade potential patrons from visiting until necessary improvements are made.

Shannon Stiles: Went for a solo dinner and had a wonderful experience. Great atmosphere and vibe in a renovated historic home in downtown Cary. Service and management are excellent, pleasant, and attentive without being intrusive. Oscar was amazing! The Ceasar Salad was delicious, the Wasabi-based dressing had the right amount of kick to not make it overpowering. I had the Beaufort Swordfish and Shrimp which was cooked to perfection. Don't skip dessert, the Molten Chocolate Cake was epic. Everything on the menu is locally sourced and the menu changes every Thursday. I would recommend making a reservation as they have limited seating. This hidden gem is a must if you're a local or in town for business!

Justin Monroe: Mc Restaurant was a wonderful experience. The staff was friendly and the food was amazing. Menu changes based on locally sourced food. The Beaufort swordfish and shrimp was cooked to perfection. The almondine sauce was a perfect compliment to the swordfish. The Caesar with Wasabi dressing had just enough kick to make it a great starter. I would recommend this restaurant for anyone in the area.

Jeff B: Recently went here expecting a great dinner and service. We had several items and only one was great. The others were fair. The service was lacking and disappointing for the cost of dinner.

DrwedThinks: The place looks nice and the service were good, however when comes to the food is not what I expect. I expected good food because their food are expensive, however their food are not good at all. I ordered saigon noodles, Ravioli, and crab cake the food feels like they are bought or cotsco from Walmart, I expect something better for the price. At least the sushi was ok. I am not coming back.

Chad Blankenbeker: I’ve only ever gotten take out here before, but after ordering 3-4 times over several years I’m not going to again. There is nothing special about the food, I’ve tried the sweet and sour chicken and the teriyaki stir fry. The teriyaki chicken is essentially a soup, the entire bowl is always full of liquid and broth, which if that’s what you expect from a stir fry then you’ll like it. The last straw was forgetting to include rice with my last order. I don’t eat sushi but for what’s it worth I’ve heard it’s okay.

Corey Mccumber: Red Bowl is a cute, cozy, and welcoming spot to grab excellent food. Their staff are all always friendly, and accommodating no matter how busy. Their food is exceptional, from their outstanding stir-fry bar, to sweet and sour chicken (my fav), to some of the best sushi I've ever had. If you are looking for fantastic food, service and atmosphere Red Bowl is it.

Mandy Traylor Cavanaugh: My family visited Red Bowl Asian Bistro last night and we were so disappointed. Service was alright, and atmosphere was fine, but...- None of our food was hot.- My dinner looked and tasted like a microwave dinner.- I ordered a spicy mango chicken dish, and there was no spice to it whatsoever. I didn't finish even half of my meal, and definitely didn't take it home for leftovers.- The food was mediocre and WAY overpriced for the low quality.We definitely won't be visiting again.

Shane Armstrong: Food was okay, but not great. My vegetables were undercooked and my friend’s chicken was over cooked and greatly lacking in sauce. Service was good but couldn’t save the mediocre meal. Probably won’t return.

Cassiata T: I love Asian food so much, and when I heard about this place with a wide variety of dishes, including sushi rolls, I knew I had to make it up here even though it was pouring outside. I’m so happy I did! It has zen decorations that make you feel relaxed. The lighting is soft, and the music is calming yet modern. For the appetizer, I ordered the Spring Roll and Bang Bang Shrimp. The Spring Roll was lightly fried, and the cabbage stuffing was fresh. The Bang Bang Shrimp was so good!! It was large portioned, so it was like eating a shrimp salad. It was light on my palate because the shrimp was medium-sized, gently dipped in the tempura batter, and they used fresh iceberg lettuce. For entrees, I ordered the Sweet & Sour Chicken with Fried Rice and the Snow White Roll and Spicy Tuna Roll. The pineapple in thee Sweet & Sour chicken was ripe and would’ve been better if it wasn’t added. The Snow White Roll was cold and the imitation crab on top was chewy. For dessert, I ordered the Banana Spring Roll. The banana went bad, so it was bitter and sweet.Overall: 6.5/10

I have been here a handful of times since, their food is always spot on no matter what I order from there. If you are in the mood for amazing sushi, I would definitely recommend this place. They also serve hot plates which are very delicious too, the sesame chicken is one of my favorites. I would recommend anyone looking for a new place to try this one
