David's Dumpling & Noodle Bar closing after 15 years in Raleigh

David's Dumpling & Noodle Bar is wrapping up a 15-year run on Hillsborough Street in Raleigh.

Sunday, July 13, will be the restaurant's last day open.

Restaurant management posted the news on Facebook on Wednesday.

Chilton Sheppard thanked the customers for their business and staff members for their diligence.

"We've had a phenomenal 15-year run and we've been honored to serve the local community," the message read. "We owe gratitude to the original chef David Mao, our cooks, dishwashers, managers and all of our front of house staff that we're proud to say have been majority NC State students who have worked hard all while maintaining their academics. Personally the experience has meant a lot to me by continuing a great immigrant legacy of culinary prowess and building personal relationships with the local business/social media community, NCSU community and all the regulars whose friendly faces I kept seeing year after year. I'll treasure the time for the rest of my life. Thank you all!"

Mao has been in the restaurant industry in Raleigh since the 1970s.
