Brewery Bhavana was a great restaurant that checked the box on mini things. The place was nice and clean, the layout and design was great and included a bar area and more of a formal sitting area. The background books on a bookshelf that you could read. The food was really good. I have to give props to the chili oils spice on the table. Delicious! We ordered several dishes and the dumplings were great, and the dim sum and buns were delicious. The crab Rangoon was great. We also ordered some jasmine tea, which was tasty and they have a wide selection of beer and wine. We ordered a couple of local beers that were really tasty. The customer service was good too. We had our waitress who checked on us every now and then and then other servers would bring out the food. Overall, we thought this place was pretty good and recommend.

This place is more than meets the eye; not only is it a distillery, it's also a bookstore, flower shop, and dim sum restaurant! The space inside is beautiful - it almost feels like an upgraded living room, a unique gathering space. Their dim sum is the real highlight; we ordered veggie dumplings, chicken dumplings, and vegetable samoas and we're still trying to figure out which we liked the best. This is an absolute must if you're in the area!

Beautiful space and great for group dining! We tried a variety of dishes. Soup dumplings, seared chicken curry bao, pork belly rice cakes, and Peking duck. The duck was flavorful, though the first one came out a bit dry. The scallion pancake with bone marrow was fun to try, but not something I’d reorder regularly. The mocktail I had was refreshing, and the pork belly rice cakes were packed with flavor.
Out of all, probably the pork belly rice cakes was the one I enjoyed the most.
Overall, a stylish spot with solid dim sum and great vibes in downtown Raleigh.

We had a great time here for a hang out dinner on Saturday night. The menu is sectioned out so you can either do small plates for the table (dim sum) or entrees for individual dining. And all of it is outstanding. The food is made with care and Pride, the ingredients are fresh and of quality too. Courses can be staggered so you can settle in for the whole experience.

The edamame dumplings were shockingly good. I was not expecting them to be the standout dish of the evening. The mooncakes are also just, ugh, chef’s kiss. Anything with bao is a must and the duck was so succulent and crispy. If you do order the duck, let them know early on because it does take a while to prepare.

You definitely want to get reservations ahead of time though! Sometimes you can squeeze in a same day res, but planning ahead is the way to go to make sure you get to eat at your preferred time.

It is a great place to visit the first time. I am not sure if I want to come back. The quality of the food was just OK, nothing crazy in reference to flavor and nice presentation. We ordered the duck egg rolls and they tasted not fresh, like fried from from the fridge...also we tried The Char Siu Bau, (Cantonese bbq pork steamed buns) these were kind of surprisingly good and the coconut cake for desert was fine. The server seemed to be always in a hurry and because it is like a "tapas experience" and he never worried about asking for the quality of the food, just waited for us to finish the plate, and came to the table asking: more food?. With the tip  we end up paying $80 dollars, again, kind of expensive for the quality.
