Grasshopper Asian Kitchen

One of my worst dining experiences in the Triangle or ever. There were virtually no staff on hand, including kitchen help, hardly saw the waiter, and when we did complain, we were sent the manager, who offered us free dessert. No one had eaten their cold, raw disgusting food, so we ordered dessert, of which 1 out of the 4 was inedible. We were then charged full price for all appetisers, entrees and 3 out of 4 desserts! We left starving after paying almost $200 and went by Elmo's to grab a sandwich before going home. Pathetic!…

abominable experience. My husband and I ate at this restaurant last night and it was nothing less than a disaster. I ordered a tofu dish with vegetables and edaname. It turned out to be a bowl of liquid with tofu -no veggies or edaname. I told the waitress and she said she would bring me some vegetables to put in the broth. 10 min later she brought a dish of sweet potatoes in some kind of sticky burnt sauce. Also their rice cooker was broken, so instead of rice for my husband's meal, they brought a huge bowl of ice cold rice noodles! And the end of the meal (?), when the waitress finally brought the check, I told her how disappointed I was but instead of her letting the manager know, she just told me she hoped the next time I would order something else. Never again will we darken their door. This may be the place for you if you want the opposite of what you order!…

Excellent food!. I'm not sure if things have changed since many of the negative reviews written about this quaint establishment, but my first experience at Grasshopper was amazing. The food was fantastic (red chile talapia). It was served hot and perfectly prepared. Dish presentations made me feel I was at a more elite restaurant than could be found in a small-ish city. The service was courteous and professional. Even though there were not many other customers, the restaurant was cozy and romantic. The patio seating was fantastic on a late summer evening. I'll definitely be going back.…

Bold in flavor and striking in atmosphere, this Asian restaurant boasts one of the most unique dining experiences in town.. In Short
The dramatic ceiling--layered with the texture of bamboo poles and golden-glow lamps--might demand your attention, but the restaurant's bar steals the show, with its dramatic lighting and green gem-flecked counter space. For a fantastic outdoor dining experience, head to the Zen garden where flickering candles and minimalist decor soothe the soul. Fill up on lemongrass beef or the subtle lime leaf chicken. For dessert, consider homemade ginger ice cream topped with fresh blueberries.…
