This place is AMAZING! All around best place to eat downtown. The service is top notch – we love Salliereid and Jib. The food although a little pricey is of great quality and especially delicious. The place is such a vibe – it’s a brewery, restaurant and also has books, coffee/ tea. Lots of gluten free options and the staff is super understanding and helpful in that area. Definitely try this place out.

Such a cool spot in downtown Raleigh! The vibe here is amazing- stylish, cozy, and full of character with the mix of brewery, flower shop, and dim sum restaurant all in one. The food is always on point — love the pork buns, dumplings, and moon cake dim sum.
Their Matcha San cocktail is my favorite smooth, creamy, and not too sweet. The staff is always friendly, and it’s just a fun place to hang out. Definitely one of my favorite spots downtown!

Great experience!
Let me tell you why…
I walked in to get my wife and I on the list for a table at around 3 or 4pm. The kind person at the host station informed me that the wait for a table was HOURS (I believe the time was 915pm) but they have a full-service bar, meaning we could get food and drinks there, as long as there were seats available. My wife and I got a few seats at the bar, were greeted immediately, and had samples in our hands almost as quickly.
We opted to take advantage of the Dim Sum section of the menu.
We got the Pork & Chive Shumai (1st pic), Duck Egg Rolls, Chicken Curry Bao & Jiaozi Chicken Dumpling (not pictured). The shumai was amazing without the house dumpling sauce and still really good with it. The egg rolls came with a house dipping sauce (not be confused with the house dumpling sauce) which made the not-greasy-at-all deep fried rolls taste delectable. The two other dumplings were good with the house sauce, but between those two the chicken curry was the standout.
I tried (and ended up choosing) the Festbier (an Oktoberfest beer), the Grove (a double IPA, without the overwhelming bitter aftertaste), and the Rosecomb?
I also had a cocktail that has a name that I can’t recall and the name isn’t on the online menu. Joshua created it and if I get back there anytime soon, I’m getting a few more! Gotta be a fan of citrus/bitters tho or ya might not like it.

Bar drinks and bar staff are excellent. We were seated in the dining room which is decorated simply. We ordered the chicken dumplings, very flavorful and the pickled cucumber salad. We felt the cucumber pieces were cut too large because there just was not any flavor, disappointed. I ordered the General Tso’s chicken and my husband ordered the Szechuan fish. My chicken was nice and crispy but was a little tough and mainly tasted like Texas Pete. The fish was overcooked but overall had good flavor.

Brewery, dim sum, bookstore AND a flower shop? You got it here all in one! Really great beers and the ambiance is so unique and special too. Really enjoyed the multifaceted nature of this place that makes it a bit quirky but works! I really enjoyed the Glean beer with its mango peppercorn accents that is a great at wetting your appetite before food. For the dim sum, my favorites was the Ginger Salad and Crab Fried Rice. Everything was delicious though and great to share with a small group. Service was nice and attentive too!

Food is always on point. Unique dishes with plenty of options for all palates.
Been coming here for 8 years and it’s my absolute favorite restaurant in Raleigh.
Shout out to Spencer who is genuine, attentive, and chill.

The atmosphere is beautiful and relaxing, the service is always warm, and the food is incredible. My absolute favorite is the pork & chive shumai — perfectly seasoned, tender, and so flavorful. Pair it with one of their unique craft beers and it’s an amazing experience every time. Highly recommend!

Really beautiful place, nice evening intimate ambience, tons of seating. Tables are a bit small and it would be nicer if there were bigger. Can have conversation and doesn’t get too loud. Got reservations for 2 on a Thursday, service was great. There were quite a few drink changes, but the samples allowed us to find a few good sour and light beers to enjoy. The pork chive shumae was tasty. The chicken curry bao was a bit cold so not my fav tho the bao was a good texture. The pork belly rice cakes was a platter rather than fried cakes so I guess I ordered wrong, it was maybe heavy on the salt and umami. The chili sauce wasn’t too spicy. Expensive for sure, nice to go once, but better food akanl dim sum other places.

Came to see the Billie Eilish concert. Flew from Indiana. Wasn’t planning on going here but the place I wanted to (next door) was still closed for an hour so I stop by for a drink. The atmosphere was tranquil. Very relaxed and pleasant. They told me I could walk around as there was a library . The natural sunlight from the ceiling helped with the vibe. Felt like I was not in some city in NC, it was like some futuristic utopia. Even had a book store . Had an espresso martini. Probably the best I’ve had. Was creamy and delicate just how I like it. Had a beer there too. It hit the spot. The staff was knowledgeable and extremely kind and polite. They even helped me charge my phone. The experience was so good, I decided to order food. Got the pork shumai and crab ragoon. Both tasted fresh, flavorful but not overpowering as these dishes tend to me. The casings of both were thin and crispy for the ragoon and soft and thin for the shumai. What got me was the pork bao. I tasted homely in a good sense as if my mother made it even though she never made this dish. As if I got teleported to rural China and lived there all my life and twice a year my grandmother would make this for the family for a holiday. It was warm, soft, and tasted like heaven. It tasted so good I didn’t want to swallow or finish the dish, but of course I did. I wish I came here originally, I would of gotten the duck but I wanted to save room for the other place. 10/10 highly recommend and would go there again, if I’m ever in town.

If I could give the service 10 stars I would. Our server Anthony went above and beyond for our dinner. He was patient, gave us tailored recommendations, checked in at the perfect times, assured us we were clear on dishes with allergens, and remembered the little details. He was so personable and even gave us comped glasses of champagne for a birthday we celebrated.
The place is adorable — part brewery, part flower shop, part book shop and restaurant. And they do it well!
