Frommer's Review
Our favorite Asian restaurant in Raleigh has the kind of glossy, minimalist decor that evokes an upscale neighborhood in Hong Kong -- a cocoon of burnished teak and cherrywood. Reasonably priced and charmingly unpretentious, it has a large and accommodating bar near its entrance and a sophisticated array of martinis, some made with sake. The chef is likely to pay a personal visit to your table during the course of your meal, asking how, for example, you like the deep-fried pork-and-shrimp dumplings, the spring rolls, the steamed filet of sea bass with ginger, the lamb chops cooked with curried coconut milk, or the "lion's head" meatball stuffed with scallops and served in a clay pot with baby bok choy.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
