Opinions de Lucha Tigre Chapel Hill
Fantastic Cantonese food in RTP! Every dish was fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The crispy noodles with seafood, walnut shrimp, and steamed fish were standouts. Great service, generous portions, and everything tasted authentic.
Probably the best sesame chicken in the RTP area. The chicken actually tastes like real chicken, not just batter. The sauce is balanced, slightly sweet, and not overly heavy on the ketchup flavor like many other places. I’ve been eating Chinese food around here for years, and Hunam consistently gets it right. Apologies for barging into the kitchen on Christmas Day to snap this photo, and a big thank you to Nelson for being so kind and letting me take it.
High value, high quality Cantonese-style food. Best you can find in the RTP area!
Five stars all the way for what it is: an authentically simple, good quality, great priced, local Chinese restaurant. Takeout is great but we dined in and I actually loved the traditional simplicity of the experience. Nothing flashy, traditional fried wontons complementary to start, quality basic dishes in a simple and muted atmosphere, at a great price. They built out the back room a little bit fancier for parties or meetings. Forgot to take pictures of the dishes! My daughter and I shared chicken lettuce wraps and chicken and broccoli as a dish. The hoisin sauce and chicken lettuce wraps was fantastic (get extra hoisin bc it's awesome), and although the chicken and broccoli looked insanely simple when it came out it actually tasted great and is a new favorite for a healthy but tasty meal.
Love the eggplant chicken salty fish clay pot. Other dishes were good too. The service was excellent.
First time eating food from here. Did takeout. The fried squid was amazing and the sweet and sour fish excellent. My lemon chicken was okay, had better ones overseas and in Raleigh. But it does get the job done. The fried rice was also tasty and they put a good amount of sauces in bowls which is awesome. Overall would recommend eating from here
We are a group of five Chinese adults visited this restaurant for lunch. We ordered 4 food : chrysanthemum crispy fish 糖醋魚,water boiled chilly beef水煮牛肉,chestnut shrimp 合桃蝦,vegetable with Chinese dry sausage 韮菜臘腸. The food are excellent, the ingredients are fresh. I would rank it the top Chinese restaurant in Durham and Chapel Hill. I recommend it if you want to have Chinese food in these regions.
The food here is nice, the boss is handsome and the service is great. It also has karaoke here. Highly recommend this place.
The shrimp with vegetables was delicious. It all tasted very fresh. The egg roll was very small. About half the size of any I have had. It was good though!
Best chicken fried rice in a long time DELICIOUS perfectly seasoned cooked by a Chinese chef. I will definitely recommend this restaurant. Great ambiance clean great staff. Laoson the owner was great.
Incredible food. Everything tastes fresh and flavorful. Incredible service. I will definitely be back!
Great good. You also get a LOT, so its worth the price. My family got: lemon chicken, orange beef, honey walnut shrimp. All tasted great and cooked well. The appetizers we had were fried dumplings and crab ragoons. They were good, but not great. All in all, I highly recommend and will be coming back to try even more dishes.
General tso and it was excellent sauce was right on point the portion size was more than enough for two people. For the money the value is great. Love the menue options they have many options some I probably would not try lol.
I order takeout often and almost every visit would rate it a 5. The food is fresh and well-prepared. The fried rice has that great smoky wok flavor, a benchmark for me in Chinese food. I have taken numerous other people there, too, and it never fails to impress. A friend who has been going there for over 25 years used to deliver their ingredients and says the owner was always very particular.That shows in the final product still today(same owner.) One huge disappointment to be wary of: fried rice included with the combo meals was left on my plate the one time I ordered a combo meal.It was definitely a different product.
This is the first time I have ate at this place since the late eighty's and early nineties with my Mother. She loved the food here and the owners. Since I moved back here 9 years ago I have not gone back. What a huge mistake on my part. Yes the place is a little bit old and dated, so is the interior decor, but its as old is the building(1984) But everything was clean and it worked, ve friendly and knowledgeable staff. So please don't judge the place by it looks outside and in...it will definitely be your loss. The service was outstanding and the food was incredible. Plus good portions sizes for the money. One thing I got was the special house fried rice. Yes it's a very common dish. But they elevated it to something absolutely delicious, juicy vegetables ,tender meat and shrimp,flavored great, and the rice cooked perfectly. If you enjoy great Asian food and great service for fair price. Check it out, and you decide. Thank you Hunam for a great experience. You have made a new customer.😁🙌👍
Fun and inviting atmosphere, consistently great food and warm friendly service. I’ve been going here for years and am never disappointed! Very creative fusion dishes, good amount of gluten sensitive items and vegetarian options.Highly recommend going!
Absolutely delicious food. Well presented and served quickly. We had a group and they stayed on top of everything we needed. Personally, I recommend the salmon Poké bowl and the green bean appetizer. I have no idea how you’re supposed to eat that thing, but I would eat those green beans with my fingers if necessary.
Good dining ambience as it was not too crowded. There's a bar section which is separate from the dining area. The kimchi &pork belly fried rice was delicious. The Pho Tai soup noodles was hot and savory. The Lemongrass chicken would be better if it had more lemongrass in it. The crispy Vietnamese spring rolls and Heat seeker shrimps were good too. Service was fast and friendly.
This was a great find in Chapel Hill. Our order of twice fried wings were delicious, possibly the best wings I've ever had. Drinks and cocktails were delightful. I had the poke salmon and my lady had the skirt steak. We both left with happy bellies. We look forward to coming back and exploring more of this amazing menu.
I was there with my family. We love the menu with items have new twist, not typical Asian. The servers were extremely nice, professional and knew about the items. Very prompt with requests. We were there for brunch today. They do not have dessert menu but you can have it from very good choices. The price is very good. It is a good college town place with good price and good portion, not large. I will recommend it highly.
The spring roll was amazing and crispy, the house fried rice had very little flavor, but the cashew chicken was pretty tasty. The food was hot when I received it and I was pleasantly surprised by the lunch specials.
A really solid Chinese restaurant. The menu is fairly tight, not overbloated, which can be a pro or a con depending how you like it. There is a mix of classic Chinese-American dishes like sesame chicken, as well as some more traditional Chinese dishes like some Szechuan hot pots (we got the eggplant hotpot, very tasty), and shrimp walnut. You won't find any of the more adventurous Chinese dishes like intestines, lotus root, lamb, etc. Overall however, we enjoyed the food. The salt and pepper fried squid in particular was a treat.
Have had several great meals here over the years. Always a good selection. The only problem with my most recent visit is that it smelled a little musty and the floor was sticky.
Either we picked the wrong fusion spot or the dishes just weren’t made well. The salad was drowning in dressing, and my pad Thai… I honestly have no idea what it was supposed to be. It was advertised as a Tex-Mex and Asian fusion, but it tasted more like a tomato-based carne asada mixed with Italian flavors, and then they tossed in pineapple on top of it all. The whole thing was such a strange combo. I could barely eat it, but I was starving. Definitely wouldn’t recommend it to anyone. But the ambience and service was spot on
It hurts me to have to leave such a low rating for this restaurant. It was so good but now it’s really hit or miss for many things. The spring rolls and pork egg rolls are delicious and the soups are good. I’ve had mixed results with entrees, once I ordered shrimp egg Fu yung and it was amazing the next time it had frozen fried shrimp instead of fresh. Now it seems they are double frying things like crab Rangoon which makes them extremely oily and overcooks the filling. I tried two orders with the same result. I just can’t recommend this restaurant.
Food looked good and was presented well. However, as soon as it arrived, a roach ran across the table. The manager arrived and took care of the bill, but I couldn't eat there afterwards. Seeing roaches running about the restaurant, makes me question their cleanliness. If hadn't seen it, I would have likely given this place a positive review.
I keep trying to give this place a try and like it.This is my third attempt. They have a great service and great drinks and previously had a great chicken tenders for the kids. However, they have halved the portion of the kids meal. Each meal I’ve ever had here has been fairly disappointing and I just recently had the Peruvian shrimp hoping for better at $21. It was not good— Too much sauce and I could not finish it. It takes a lot for me to write a review but having spent $50 on a meal for myself, a drink and a meal for my child, I don’t think It’s time we call it. I would not go there for anything more than a drink.
I have dined here for years and use to enjoy their food for lunch on a weekly basis, but this will be my last time. I normally dont leave reviews, but I feel the need to do so to hopefully prevent someone from wasting their hard earned money and expecting a descent meal and not receiving one. This place has gone downhill in the past few months. No meat in the one Noodle I got in my Wonton Soup(See Pic below). I have called them back in the past to inquire about what happened to the quality of the Wonton Soup, and she said they would put more noodles and meat next time. They didn't. Nothing Changed.I have ordered the Sweet and Sour Chicken before but started being hardly no chicken and all dough, so I started ordering the House LO Mein and was very disappointed again. I keep giving them a chance, thinking maybe it's just an isolated instance, but the last 4 times have been very disappointing. I dont know what has changed for them, but I hope they get it fixed.I will be taking my business elsewhere. So I recommend that you don't waste your time or money either!
This was their general tso chicken. It is not like any i have ever had before and also not good at all. I normally love spicy but this was unbearably hot. It was very orange to be general tso. We even called to make sure we had the right plates and the man said it was correct. Its not a place i will ever return.
The food is good when it's done right, but we've learned from experience, we just can't trust them on allergens. They've served us peanut-containing food they swore didn't have peanuts in it (I asked the server three times, so much so that I apologized after the third time and explained that we may seem paranoid but it comes from experience eating in other establishments). They've served us "tofu" summer rolls that were actually shrimp. They apologize each time, then they do it again. If you're not allergic to anything they cook with, go for it, it's a good place. If you're unlucky enough to be allergic to peanut, sesame, shrimp, or anything else they have on the menu - just stay away. It's not worth the risk.
Strangely awful. Everything we had was mediocre at best, especially the General Tso’s chicken bowl thing which was purported to be amazing and spicy by the server. It was a bowl of twice-cooked (at least) diced chicken bites which were quite hard, a scoop of white rice, a sprinkling of some barely steamed broccoli and a little bit of sauce. And that’s it. Oh, and they “can’t add tofu” because “it’s proportioned.” In other words, Sysco offers one size only. There is virtually zero chance that this was made to order. The apps were passable if unremarkable, and the rest of the food (al pastor taco, pozole) were okay with the pozole being good enough to take home. Not worth a return visit.
