In Short – Located in the Brier Creek Commons, this Asian-inspired restaurant's atmosphere is upscale and elegant with an intimate gray and yellow-hued dining room. Champa serves gourmet versions of spicy Thai soups, grilled seafood, sushi and classic noodle dishes such as pad thai to local office workers and shoppers. Standout dishes include a spicy beef salad called Tiger's Tear, the lamb in basil sauce and the catfish in ginger sauce.
OK Sushi, great Pad Thai
by RussellinCary
We like this restaurant and have returned a number of times, especially on, I believe it is Tuesday night, when there was live jazz. Service is spotty and it can take an age, but usually the restaurant is full, so I guess they are busy.
The food varies in quality and is inconsistent. That said, we have not had a really bad meal there, but sometimes the flavor is not all there. I would not go here purely for sushi, there are many better sushi places, and Champa's sushi is not cheap.
However, the Pad Thai is always excellent and is one of the best examples in the triangle with none of that funky red sauce some of the Thai-fusion places in the area throw on it. It is sweet, sour and savory and quite well balanced.
The Thai tea is also good.
I think the place could be cleaner, however, and the wait staff could be less abrupt and not look over their shoulders the whole time for their next table while taking your order.
With a bit of work this place could be great.
- Pros: Thai dishes are quite good
- Cons: Consistency / quality / service
Good food, good service

Great Sushi and Pad Thai! Good, quick service but there can be a wait at lunch at dinner because it is a pretty popular place. Highly recommended
good for a date
by stumbler02
i went here last night and thought it was pretty average. the presentation of the food is nice and the service is really friendly, but the food itself is just all right--not worth the high prices especially with the portion sizes. you won't leave hungry but you won't have any leftovers either. the items i really like here are the pad kao and basil fried rice, but even those i don't think are worth the money--$13 at restaurant for a plate of rice i can make at home? as for the sushi, ive had it here a few times and it's decent. in general id say this is a good place to take a date, and it's definitely one of the better options at brier creek (though that's not saying much). but if you're looking for an authentic family-style thai meal or lots of good sushi then go elsewhere.
- Pros: Friendly service, good for a date
- Cons: overpriced, no reservations for groups under 6
