We bought a $30 gift certificate to Spring Rolls on Living Social (group buying site) and so tonight we went there for dinner to check it out. Spring Rolls opened in the North Hills area in North Raleigh four months ago; the restaurant is located near the Moe’s, Ruth’s Chris & Ethan Allen. Spring Rolls has a chic atmosphere with contemporary decor. They have a size-able cocktail menu and an Asian Fusion food menu, with traditional Chinese &  Thai offerings.

We started out with the Saigon Spring Rolls and BBQ Spare Ribs.

And then the NYer had wonton soup.

We shared the Pad Thai Chicken and the Mongolian Beef entrees.

And finally we split a Strawberry Bubble Tea. (We had never had Bubble tea before this.)

The Raleigh-ite– I personally LOVE Asian Fusion cuisine and this was fairly good. It’s no Mura (also located in the North Hills shopping center) but it’s less expensive and better for a weeknight. The spring rolls were light and I loved the peanut sauce they were served with. The BBQ spare ribs weren’t quite as tender as I expected, but they were served with a good duck sauce, so they were tasty. Spring Rolls’ “Famous Pad Thai”  has very thin rice noodles and was good, but the flavor was semi-lackluster. I prefer Champa’s Thai food.  I topped it with some soy sauce, and that gave it just the flavor pick me up it needed. The Mongolian Beef had great flavor, and I loved the onions it came with. I’ve never had Bubble Tea before and I wasn’t impressed with the one we had here.  So I’m not sure if I don’t love Bubble Tea or if I don’t love the Bubble Tea from Spring Rolls. We told our very helpful waiter not to add any sugar to it, so I’m not sure if that would have made it better. We had a great waiter, but we were one of only 5 occupied tables on a Monday night.

The NYer- Spring Rolls has a nice atmosphere in North Hills. Great tasting Wonton Soup. Flavorful Pad Thai. Seems like a big menu with plenty of choices. Service was excellent.

If you love Chinese, try Five Star.

Do Over? Definitely. It’s the right price for a weeknight meal, especially with the living social deal I purchased.

11/2- We ordered- Saigon Spring Rolls, BBQ Spare Ribs, Wonton Soup, Strawberry Bubble Tea, Pad Thai Chicken, Mongolian Beef, 1 Diet Coke. Total : $50.50 (We had $30 off of this price)
