Saap

Saap is an Asian restaurant on South Walker Street in downtown Cary. The dishes are the ones the chef grew up eating, so the menu reads like a family’s instead of a committee’s, and the cooking is personal.

The restaurant wants to be a place where an evening turns into something people remember, and it says so plainly. It is set up for a celebration as easily as for a weeknight dinner, and the downtown location makes it easy to fold into a bigger evening out.
