   we were 4 diners: one vegetarian, one meat-lover and one that doesn't tolerate hot and spicey and we all were loved shared plates. My favorite was the new dumplings

   As always, the food, the beverages, and the staff are awesome. Tess and the team always make for the best experience. My only issue is that I crave their food for days after eating there. What a great issue to have!

    Overall the food is pretty good. As a vegetarian I had limited options available on the menu (so I can only speak to that). Would especially recommend it if you want to try different asian cuisines in the same meal.

    It's as if they never figured on anyone with a shellfish allergy going there. Things you'd naturally expect not to contain shellfish do because of some paste they use. The server asked the chef and turns out they don't even know what does or doesn't contain it so they had to recommended only ordering the vegetarian items if you have a shellfish allergy because "most" of those don't have shellfish. Firstly, NONE of those should have shellfish because that's an animal. Second, um, are you trying to get people killed? I've come to expect this kind of total lack of preparation/comprehension from some cheap restaurants but this was a surprise considering the prices.

    Like all other M Restaurants, the food is superb! Great "late night" vibe with Korean street food options. Small location with neon signage, upbeat music, and an open kitchen that's hustling!

    Dinner was excellent last night! It was our first time and we can’t wait to go back. We tried the shrimp toast, pork steamed buns, garlic chili fries, dumplings, and Nasi Goreng. All were so incredibly tasty. Don’t miss out on the shrimp toast, pork steamed buns or chili fries! Definitely one of the best meals I have had in Durham. Next time we will try the fire noodles and a few other items. I’m already making reservations.

    I’d been to M Pocha a week prior with a close friend. We’d gotten resys on a Saturday, which is a pretty busy time. The food, service, vibe, music, drinks - everything - was phenomenal! Being my first visit there, I was excited to book again for a date night. So I did. Long story short, the experience was vastly different. The service was okay, the drinks weren’t as well made, the food didn’t hit the mark and the overall ambiance was just “off”. So that’s what I’m going to attribute it to. Everyone was having an off night. My first experience was so good that I’m hoping to patronize again and regain the excitement I first had for the restaurant. To go from such a high to such a blah space was disheartening. But again, I’m chalking it up to an off night. First visit: - Gai lan (so exceptional that we ordered it twice) - Shrimp toast (tasty, chock full of shrimp) - Meat Mandu (good flavor, a bit limp though) - Spicy Pork Buns (soooo good, amazing even) - Strawberry cheesecake wontons (ask for this dessert, it’s delish) - Drinks: Dragons’s something? (it has mezcal, hibiscus and jalapeño and was a great blend of smoky, sweet and spicy) Second visit: - Lobster Mac n cheese (just okay, I wouldn’t order again) - Meat Mandu (my date ordered. These were more firm this time around) - Chicken Karaage (chicken was cooked to perfection, and sauce was very good) - Xiang Mian (left A LOT to be desired. Drowned in chili oil, hard to pull other flavors out. I ate a few bites and trashed it) - Cranberry Gin & Tonic (seasonal drink, had high hopes but it was too boozy with a strange aftertaste) I asked for a different drink because I didn’t care for the Cranberry G&T. Asked for the Dragon drink with Mezcal, Jalapeño and Hibiscus again thinking it would be a sure thing. I was WRONG. The drink was again too boozy, other flavors didn’t shine through and it was hella spicy. Hardly tasted any hibiscus. I concluded the bartender didn’t taste either drink

    Great fire noodles. Fun seats at the counter which are on the glass facing the street, like an aquarium. Also they have sparkling sake and I haven’t seen that any where else before.

    The waiter was great, the lack of five stars for service was for the restaurant itself and the rules. Why let me book a 9:30 reservation if I’m going to be rushed ordering, and when I do order, nothing is staggered or coursed out. Everything came basically at once, crowding an already cramped table. Food was great but this was not a great experience for my second time here.

    Food was overpriced. This is a tiny space with tiny chairs--larger bodies aren't welcome. I was brought the wrong drink. Their expectations for reservations (putting in a credit card, a text telling you to check in 20 minutes early, additional requests to confirm beyond one) are excessive. Get over yourself.

    Super pleasant staff and the food was probably the best I've had in Durham in a while. A bonus was all the vegan options, which is hard to come by. Would not pass up.
