First, absolutely LOVE this new location, much more lively and bright.
Two, the chef out to be met with a kiss because they are COOKING back there! The food is packed with different layers and flavors it’s almost criminal.
Three , anything that needs to be handled over food should be handled here at fiction kitchen. This is the best vegan spot you will find in the Raleigh area! Need to break up w your person - fiction kitchen. Need to propose? Fiction kitchen. Long day after work? Fiction kitchen. Business lunch? Fiction kitchen.
They did not disappoint in my meal tonight. I ordered cornbread , hush puppies (no regrets on the double corn prepared in different ways) , peanut noodle bowl and pumpkin cheesecake. I am STUFFED to the brim.
I love finding a restaurant that matches the price of food with the quantity and quality of the food. The best dinner purchase for sure.
10/10/10 scores the board, including Presentation , taste , flavor town , labeling my to go boxes. YES YES YES.
Unfortunately for me, I will 100% be back to try the rest of the menu. #BigBack2025 thanks fiction kitchen.
EDIT: a day later i went back for dinner. No regrets. Will do it again.

We had a delicious 3 course meal and fantastic service. Highly recommend. We tend to ask for recommendations from the staff, which we did tonight, and we were not disappointed. I had one of the zero proof cocktails and it was perfect.
Reservations recommended but it looked like you could walk in and sit at the bar.

First off the food was beyond amazing, highly recommend a group dinner of appetizers, cornbread, charcuterie, pimento cheese and house made pepperoni, all so good! Sadly we had a bit of a snafu with our service as we had none for about 30 minutes till I got up to go to the bar, however, they fixed it, were truly apologetic and comped an appetizer to make up for it. Cocktails were also amazing!

The Fiction Kitchen is now my favorite vegan spot in Raleigh. The globally inspired menu is creative and flavorful, with fresh, seasonal ingredients. I especially loved the Lion's Mane Rangoons, which was crispy and delicious. The portions are generous, and the prices are very reasonable. We also got some mozzarella sticks for starters and some red wine. The noodle bowl and the curry bowl were great entree options and we also added the tofu as a protein on it. The restaurant itself is warm and inviting, with a bright and airy atmosphere. We visited their temporary location as they are rebuilding their old one. The staff is friendly and attentive, and they were happy to answer my questions about the menu. Tres Leches cake was just the perfect way to end the meal.

Let me start with the service. Our waiters were great .. What wasn't great was that they were out of 6 dishes when they only have a small menu to begin with. And one of them was the special that was on the chalkboard but instead of erasing it ( it's a chalkboard) they left it and after telling us about all the dishes that weren't available on the menu, I order the special, and that's not available either! The food is good, no doubt they make an effort to create tasty, vegan meals. But so very disappointed especially since my kids made reservations to take me for Mother's Day. They kept apologizing for picking it, even tho it's not their fault that half the menu was unavailable. So we basically ended up with whatever was available bc it's Mother's Day, and where else could we have gone.
