Hong Kong House on Guess ended up being the ticket, even with the impending snow, Dim Sum still flowed...mmmm

Mirage in Raleigh is open for Christmas Eve (dinner) and then for drinks, etc. on Christmas Day (10 is the opening, I think).

Their sushi is awesome - sit at the bar, and let the sushi chef guide you!

I can tell you that Lulu and I had Thanksgiving at Crossroads - buffet, same price (if I remember correctly), pleasant enough; not great but nice.

I'd guess that Gourmet Kingdom (and other Chinese places) will be open.

yeah, i figured as much about the Crossroads buffet.

I wonder if hong kong will be open for dim sum? hmmm

Pretty much every Chinese restaurant will be open. That is the traditional Jewish way to celebrate Dec.25, after all. :-)

[TSQ75]

its fairly popular with Latinos as well. We tend to do our celebrating on Christmas eve, and snooze on Christmas day...lol

I saw Kari & Lulu at Crossroads & that was the best part of the meal:)

Hey any Hounds want to go meet up at Gourmet Kingdom for Christmas? As rockycat says that's what we do: go to Chinatown;-)

It was the best part of our meal too! Made our Thanksgiving, trust me. Lulu's been talking about it all week.

Surprisingly China Palace in Durham is NOT open. Bombay Spice and so is El Cuscatleco.
