Sister Liu's Kitchen

Got the food truck at Duke, just tried the dumplings and my friends rice noodles. The line was super long so I thought the food would def be fire (it was). The dumplings were really really good and tasted authentic, but I wish they were a bit fresher. When I ordered he just grabbed a box from a heater or smth and they weren't super warm. Next time I definitely want to try the egg drop / wonton soup. EDIT: 2nd time I tried their spicy chicken mushroom noodles, and they were super super good. Could've benefitted from more mix-ins and meat since I ended up just having noodles left about halfway through but the actual taste was 10/10.

Ordered online for pick-up, First time there. I was pretty confused with where to go and it took a moment to find someone who could communicate with me. They told me to go to the other side so I did but then they came to hand me my take out food. It was a really nice day so i ate on the picnic table outside. I didn't mind the set up but I could see how it might be inconvenient if or when it gets busy or the weather is not nice. I parked easily right in front but there were few spaces. The food: I wanted to like it but I just did not. The dumplings (pork/chive) were mediocre at best. Very little filling to dough ratio, they were extremely fragile, and the filling had almost no flavor somehow. It needed salt/spices, and it was pretty dry. The sauce was equally lackluster and had almost no taste? Unclear how dipping sauce can be under salted lol. I hoped that dipping them in there would add some flavor but it just didn't unfortunately. I also had a pork bun. The bun looked beautiful and really well done so I was really excited for it but again, it fell flat. Very little filling to dough ratio and it was just bland-- the quality of the meat seemed off somehow. Side note: I pan fried

Overall Score – 22 out of 10 This spot is definitely unique—but not necessarily in a good way. It’s tucked off a main road in a partly abandoned area, and the setup raises more questions than comfort. The ordering process happens outside with no real help, and the building didn’t feel welcoming or safe. There were no drinks available, and the restroom situation wasn’t clear. While it may have a reputation as a food truck, the physical location isn’t recommended. Dumplings – 5.5 out of 10 These were decent. They tasted fresh, but the quality of ingredients felt questionable. Nothing too memorable, but not bad either.

Parking lot is a nightmare. Order for pickup was ready fast and warm, but they included part of someone else’s order in our bag that we returned to them. I could see why some reviews talk about their orders being messed up. The buns, fries or steamed, were dry and didn’t have much filling. The filling inside wasn’t very flavorful. The spicy pork burger had good flavor but felt greasy and dry at the same time. The grease got soaked up by the bun and the meat was dry. The chicken and pork dumplings were good but I would not recommend the shrimp ones. It would also be nice if they offered a fried dumpling option. This place is pretty far out of my way so I am not likely to be a return customer.

Stopped on our way driving from Asheville to DC, and go glad we did. We got the pork and cabbage dumplings, spicy cold noodles (perfect for a hot day), and the spicy beef burger. Everything was delicious. The owner came out to ask us if we enjoyed the food, which was really nice. If we hadn't been on a road trip I would have definitely bought some frozen dumplings to go.
