Try the Eastern Lights and Hot Pot & Grill at University Drive, Durham, for authentic Chinese food. They do not precook their food and all the dishes are made to order. You will enjoy the home made noodles cooked according to your desire. Do not feel discouraged by how it looks from the outside. You need to go inside and find out for yourself as the restaurant is spacious though the décor does not compliment the excellent cuisine they serve.
