Low-key joint serving familiar Thai & Chinese fare along with a kids’ menu & health-conscious eats.

this place was very good. our waiter was very nice and efficient. we got the shaved noodles + beef, the steamed beef ramen, and the regular beef ramen. the stewed beef ramen (labeled spicy) was very good and not spicy enough to deter consuming. we got pork dumplings (not pictured) which were enjoyed. the service was very fast and it was a fairly quiet environment with music at a good volume. the texture of the shaved noodles made me want to never stop eating, although they weren’t quite as flavorful as the ramen. highly recommend.

Our first time dining here, and we will definitely return God willing. the staff was attentive throughout the meal. The food was delicious. The portions were large. Restaurant had a good vibe lively, but not loud. They have three menus and it was explained to us this way “we have a Chinese menu, wehave an American menu and we have a real Chinese menu” so you get to choose your level of comfort. The portions were large enough that we all ended up sharing so I kind of became family style and we still had leftovers.

Food was incredible, high quality ingredients and prepared perfectly. There were some reviews that knocked the restaurant for atmosphere, this place is literally high end quality in a relaxed, causal atmosphere. It feels cozy, the dated feel gives it an authentic-seeming vibe. And to be honest, when you see the majority of the clientele are Asian and spending Chinese at their tables, I feel the food must be pretty authentic too.

Everything tasted flavorful, fresh, and the portion sizes were great too! We loved the fried shaved noodles and the bean jelly noodles.
They also had a “American-Chinese” part of their menu and we ordered General Tso’s chicken from that menu, which was also really good!!

Comfort Chinese food!! The menu is huge but trust you can’t go wrong with anything on it.
They have traditional Chinese, American Chinese, AND other fusion Chinese like the Singapore mei fun (fried dry curry noodles with chicken and shrimp) though make sure to ask for extra curry seasoning when ordering this, trusttttt I’ve gotten it like 4 times now.
Alsoooooo the chicken with chili oil sauce is on a whole other level and very reasonably priced!!
The Dan Dan noodles are also bomb.

Asian Kitchen is one of those reliable neighborhood Chinese restaurants that you’re glad to have nearby.
The dining room is clean and comfortable, service is warm, and it’s well located.
The food is decent—nothing over the top, but definitely satisfying—and the fact that half the tables are filled with Chinese families says a lot about its authenticity.

Ignore any bad reviews, they are misplaced. This is one of the few places in Durham I believe deserves a full 5/5 on every metric from food, price (relative to portions), and service. We got 3 dishes. First brothy shaved noodles with beef. The beef was tender and melted in your mouth, the broth complex and aromatic with fresh garnish. The beef and onion dumplings were filling and worth the money with the perfect ratio of filling to wrap. We finally got the sesame chicken as the American Chinese dish we wanted to try. It tasted fresh and NOT greasy. Overall the food seemed very intentional. For service 5/5. Our server was kind and checked in with us without making us feel like we were being rushed out. This was genuinely the first time in a long time I felt the restaurant deserved the highest recommended tip. So ignore the weird bad reviews here, I woke up the next day thinking about how good my experience was!
