Taipei 101

We have a feast at Taipei 101!! If you’re looking for bold flavors, spice, and a variety of textures, this place delivers. The spread we had featured crispy, spicy fried fish and chicken tossed with dried chili peppers, a flavorful lamb stir-fry, silky tofu with a light batter, and a bubbling hot pot filled with tender meat and vegetables in a rich, chili-laden broth. The standout dish was the crispy fried fish—perfectly crunchy on the outside and juicy on the inside, with a numbing heat from Sichuan peppercorns. The fried chicken had a similar preparation and was equally addictive. The tofu dish provided a nice contrast with its mild flavor and soft texture. The hot pot was hearty, comforting, and packed with umami. The food was fantastic with well-balanced spice and deep flavors., if you happen to be in downtown Cary this spot is worth checking out!

We tried Taipei 101 and ordered the Eggplant Garlic, Braised Veg Mushroom, and a small Egg Fried Rice. The eggplant dish was definitely the highlight—rich, flavorful, and well-prepared. The mushroom dish, however, was a bit disappointing—rubbery texture and lacked flavor. The fried rice was decent, I’d give it a 7/10. Service was good though—friendly and attentive staff. Overall, a mixed experience but worth a try for the eggplant alone.

We were visiting Raleigh and came here because it was highly recommended by our friends. Overall it was pretty good once we got over the fact that it was definitely not Taiwanese (made apparent when we looked at the menu), despite them choosing to name the restaurant Taipei 101. The main disappointment in the food was that the Peking duck was not Peking duck, it was more like a regular roast duck, and it was a little dry. The buns were tiny and clearly packaged/frozen and a little freezer-burned because the bottoms were all hard. Maybe this was just not a popular dish. As far as the other food, it was all pretty good! The beef scallion pancake was crispy. The spicy boiled fish was the main attraction and the most popular dish on the table. We got the jellyfish cucumber appetizer, and it was just right to cool down the spicy stuff. We also had the cumin lamb, beef flat noodles, and some veggies. They were all great. I'd come back, but I wouldn't order the duck again.

I remember eating here a couple times when I was at Duke, but 3 years after graduating I visited NC again and decided to come here and it’s some of the best Chinese food I’ve had…seriously! Portions are huge, service is so friendly! Highly recommend the spicy boiled fish and the scallion beef. Places like this make me miss NC! Will definitely be back whenever I’m in town again :)

First time trying this place and we will be going back! Everything was delicious! The portions are shareable, service was quick once we got seated, and the servers were polite. We did wait a little while to be seated but that can be overlooked based on the other positives We ordered Singapore Noodles, Pad Thai, General Tsos Chicken (w/ fried rice), two eggs rolls, and an order of egg drop soup. I would recommend trying all dishes as they were equally tasty!
