Eastern Lights Chinese Restaurant is a family run restaurant. It is not your typical Chinese restaurant. Lily and Frank Chao, owners of Eastern Lights, appreciate the beauty and grace of serving authentic Asian food, made with only the freshest ingredients and prepared with traditional cooking techniques. For example, we roll and cut our noodles by hand. We marinate our House Special Duck in traditional sauces and spices, and cure it in the century old Mandarin tradition.

Best of all, we make each dish when ordered - no pre-made stuff here. Everything is freshly prepared to your specifications. That is why Eastern Lights Chinese Restaurant has such a large and loyal fan base and has been rated one of the most authentic Chinese restaurants in the Research Triangle Park area. Bring your family to Eastern Lights Chinese Restaurant to enjoy an authentic home-cooked meal prepared by the Chao family.

Catering

We specialize in catering large parties. Simply tell us the number of guests you plan to serve and any dining restrictions. We will design the perfect menu to match any budget.  We are happy to deliver within a 20-minute radius from the restaurant if the order exceeds $100. Please call and ask to speak to Lily Chao, who will provide specific catering information.

Hot Pot & Grill

One of our specialties is traditional Hot Pot and Grill, which provides an intimate environment for our guests to dine on fresh and delicious selection of Asian meats, seafood, and vegetables. Hot Pot and Grill is a concept on Chinese cuisine that incorporates traditional Asian ingredients with modern equipment. Our customers play an important role in the preparation process: we provide the finest ingredients but you, our guests, provide the special touch for each meal by deciding the content, flavor, and texture of the dish. Enjoy the sight, smell and taste of delicious food being prepared at your table.

Eastern Lights Chinese Restaurant is one of the top Chinese restaurants in the Durham, Chapel Hill and Raleigh, NC areas. Call us today at (919) 403-3650.
