Came here a day ago(8/7) Food was fantastic man, Oiled up drenched and sautéed. For 8.55 lunch menu can't pass it up. Sa-Cha Chicken, Egg Roll was under cooked but it was beautiful weirdly. Hard crunch on the outside, doughy pastry on the inside made for an amazing combo. The tangy, over oiled chicken with the dark soy sauce fried rice was a fantastic combo. Good food the one time I came by read more

if you are looking for good, authentic Chinese food, this is not it. Fried rice is just white rice with soy sauce. No egg, peas, carrots, etc. Very bland. Eggroll was nothing but cabbage. Owner and front desk appear to be of Latin descent. Not that it means they can't cook Chinese food, but they can't. At least look up some fried rice recipes. Make an effort. Spanish language programs on the TV doesn't help. A/C doesn't work. Sorry, Won't be back... read more

I wish I would've remembered why we don't order Chinese food from here. It's been a while now I know why. I picked up a carry out of sesame, chicken and general tso chicken. They use the same sauce on both except with the general they stirred and a red pepper flakes.. literally the same sauce. The fried rice was white rice that then they used beef flavoring to color it.. it taste awful !!! This is not real Chinese food.. What a waste of money read more

Chia Bistro - Chinese Near Me - Huntersville, North Carolina

Really good Chinese food near me! I have been wanting to try this place for years and never had the chance. Food was ready quick and it was super tasty. The sesame chicken and orange chicken tasted very similar though. Both were amazing but the orange chicken wasn't very orangey. The pork lo mein and pork fried rice were also really good! I just wish they had the carrots and baby corn inside. read more

The fried rice is just rice with sauce, no egg. Not sure why this place has a better score than hunan park which is way better.

General Tso chicken... Chicken dry, rice wasn't fully cooked, sauce was heavy and had a bbq type flavor to it. read more

I always order Sha Sha Beef, excellent and for me it makes two meals. I always order an extra egg roll to go with left overs. I highly recommend. read more

The food tastes a little bland. I had the pork egg foo young and the pork was kinda tough. Taste like some ingredients were missing. Didn't taste like real Chinese food. My husband had chicken wings and vegetable fried rice but rice looked different than other places. read more

Very good food, reasonable price and the staff is excellent. A regular place to eat for me.

My first time trying this place out today. Reviews seemed mix so I wasn't sure. Now I know. This is the worst Chinese food I ever had. How do you mess up chicken wings??? The fried rice, fried chicken wings and even the noodles for the egg drop soup was over cooked, and everything was seasoned strangely. Not sure who owns the place or is cooking the food but they are clearly not Asian style cooks. Overpriced and a terrible waste of my money. I will never purchase food from here again. read more

Food mediocre but I do like the appetizer tempura shrimp. It's not tempura but fried. I also like the chicken fried rice. So after a long day, I ordered my go to dishes. When I got home I realized my shrimp was some other dish . A spicy sauce in the likeness of Tso chicken. I live a mile away. When I got home I called to ask if their delivery could bring me what I ordered. No go. The gal who took my order, denied what I ordered. As they were closing (9 pm) and no one could bring me the correct order. The girl said she'd refund me the difference tomorrow. I said I know why no one is ever in the restaurant and asked if is this how you do business? She then said I didn't need to be rude. I told her I'd be there tomorrow to talk to the manager and she didn't know what rude was as I hung up on her. The Red lion down the street has way better food and way better customer service read more

It's really GREAT to have Chia Bistro Chinese restaurant close to our house. Grew up in NYC with Chinese take almost every Sunday..... and Chia brings back fond memories of Great tasting food, prepared with authenticity and JUST PLAIN GOOD !!!! It's certainly worth the trip if you are looking for a tasty take out mean (or sit a while and enjoy!!!!! read more

Best Beef Lo Mien in CLT. Also fried rice has an abundant amount of chicken or pork.

This place is Amazing! We always pass by but never enter? I'm glad we did today. The place was empty so I walked out but than decided to come back in and I'm so glad we did. I lived in NYC for many years and I know about good Chinese food and this place has it. The portion of food are huge and delicious. The service is amazing!!!!! AAAA+++ read more

Chia Bistro - a take out container of food - Chinese Near Me - Huntersville, North Carolina

This place is joke. So my wife and I went to Chia Bistro based on the reviews. Boy was that a mistake. I asked about items on the menu they don't have any knowledge about food and customer service. I have had Thai from several different restaurants in different cities, and this place is by far the worst! We walked in on a Saturday night. Restaurant was empty. The food is way under salted and under cooked. The quality isn't there. I would recommend people to skip over this place read more

So a few days ago noon rolled around and I found myself getting hungry. But I wanted something quick, cheap, and from someplace new. Chia Bistro came to mind so I tried to find their menu online to see if it was worth the drive there (not exactly around the corner from me), and of course for reviews! They have no info online, but I was able to find a small selection of positive reviews @ various sites. Needed gas anyway, so gathered up the children (dogs!) and headed out. Walked in around 12:30 & the place was empty, save one lone construction guy having lunch. That kinda thing usually raises an eyebrow, especially at the height of 'lunch hour," and even more so on a Friday. Browsed the menu & decided on the Hunan Chicken lunch combo ($6.01 w/tax). While the lady that took my order wasn't exactly what I would deem "friendly" by any stretch, I did like that she didn't give me any lip when I asked for double rice instead of the obligatory egg roll, and to only have broccoli, carrots & water chestnuts, so that earned a star. There is a rather large waiting area at the entrance, with plenty of seating available. More restaurants should follow suit. The dining area was on the smallish side, with maybe 10 or 12 tables, so that keeps things a smidge intimate. Décor was pretty inviting, without the expected explosion of kitsch. One review I read online said that portion sizes were humongous. Maybe this was an off day, but my portion was far from humongous. I was surprised at how LITTLE they gave me. VERY small amount of chicken & veggies, and two miniscule scoops of rice (more like glorified tablespoons). Lotus Express just down the way from my house gives twice that easily, if not more! But I wasn't starving, so I thought if was that yummy I would get over the portion size. I probably won't be back unless someone else is treating. As we all know you can order the same dish at five different Chinese restaurants and it will completely different at each one. That's what sets them apart from their neighbors. But this had the strangest flavor to it. The chicken itself was cooked well, but the Hunan sauce had THE STRANGEST flavor. I'm not sure how to describe it really. Kind of a "cooking-class-gone-wrong" flavor. **insert inside-out face here** And that rice. They call it fried rice. Not exactly. I've never seen rice such a dubious shade of brown or unusual texture. And that oily taste. Ick. Been there, tried that. I can cross Chia Bistro off my bucket list....and my list in general . :) read more

NOT good NOT any good at all!!! and if all I wanted was some flour type noodles I would get one of those cup packages that just add water - they're tastier and NOT this pricey!!! AND if you ever had Chinese food this is NOT it, not even remotely. read more

Not a bad place to eat at. Walked in and you're greeted with this awesome looking fish tank. Very clean looking too. I didn't eat in. But the dinner room is a nice size. The woman at the front was nice. My order was made in pretty good timing. The take out dinner combo tray was a pretty good size but the food could have been more in there. Tastes pretty good too. Rice seems a little too fired read more

Delivery tonight & with the exception of a veggie mix up, all meals exceptional! Will definitely be ordering from here again! Egg rolls come with meals - bonus surprise as they are so tasty! read more

I always judge a Chinese restaurant by the cashew chicken. This one was spot-on. Good flavor, no celery (which can dominate the dish), plenty of chicken. The fried rice is more like white rice in soy sauce, but I liked the flavor of it - no veggies mixed in. Plenty of food for a combo-dish. I"ll be back to try other dishes. read more

We always have amazing service. The food is great and the portions are enough for two meals. My favorite is the Triple Star. They also deliver and that is helpful on super busy nights. read more

I ordered the Crab Rangoons as an appetizer and the Sesame trio as an entree. The service was quick and the staff was friendly. The Rangoons had the perfect shell to cheese ratio and the sweet and sour sauce was nice. The sesame trio was phenomenal. It was sweet and savory. My only issue was the ratio of the beef, chicken, and shrimp (Chicken a plenty and almost no beef). Very good and I would eat here again. read more

As far as American Chinese food goes, this is not great. The general Taos was soggy and didn't have the signature tang and spice. Also no veggies at all. The fried rice reminded me more of Spanish rice. And the egg roll tasted and felt like it had been cooked and then reheated in a microwave. Not good. The hot and sour soup was ok. read more

Amazing food!! Always feel welcomed and the owner is such a gem!! I always come back for their fried rice or general tso chicken.

I don't see why there are negative reviews of this place. I am authentically chinese and love chinese food. This place is a gem in Huntersville, NC of all places! Having lived in New York City, San Francisco, London, Taipei, and Los Angeles, this place is pretty good for food on the go. Perhaps the previous reviewers didn't know what to order. I would recommend the General's chicken, fried dumplings, and singapore rice noodle. Super delicious! Their beef with broccoli is superb as well. I also LOVE that their portions are HUGE and enough for 2 meals. Economical. :) They never claim that the brown rice is "fried" rice. It's a healthier, well-seasoned alternative. Don't hate. I love the concept and it's delicious! read more

Although in America Chinese food isn't much authentic and I haven't tried the actual one Chia Bistro is one of the best chinese restaurants I've had around town. They have a wonderful selection of food and the service is wonderful. read more

Seems like this place changed ownership/management and since then they've messed up our orders a couple of times now which is frustrating since this was never an issue before the new management. I understand mistakes but when we called to try and resolve the issue we get voicemail 10 minutes before closing time, so we couldn't tell them our order was wrong. read more

Pretty good and super cheap (not in quality but in price). Lunch specials are varied and plentiful. I like that they allow you to chose between fried rice and steamed rice as I do not like fried rice with my saucy chicken dishes and most other Chinese restaurants have it fixed on their daily or lunch specials.They serve good portions for a fraction of the price of competitors. This is my new place for those weekdays when I do not want to cook, want good food but have little money to spend. :) read more

This is our go-to lazy Chinese place and is great for what it is; filling, sweet, and salty delivery. Their prices are very low, the service is friendly, and the delivery is always fast. The lunch combo is a giant portion for $5, but I'm not a fan of their fried rice; it's really salty and greasy, but a lot of my friends like it. read more

I tried this place when I was working over in the Highland Creek area of Charlotte NC and it was great. I give this place five stars because it would be the Chinese restaurant I would order from if I lived in this part of Charlotte. I will definitely be back next time I am working in the area. read more

This is my favorite Chinese place. Mongolian beef is awesome. Crab rangoons are top notch also.

A friend and I stopped in for dinner on a Tuesday evening. The food and service was good. We did ask to move because a group of 4 was seated too close. The host apologized and moved us to another table. I plan to eat there again. read more

They delivered fast food was fresh hot delicious we had house fried rice and sesame seed chicken egg drop wonton soup it was totally awesome..The best in town read more

Having recently moved to Highland Creek, my fiancé and I started exploring the area for good food. We saw this place while we were driving by so decided to give it a try. We went in on a Wednesday night. The place wasn't too full, just about 3 other tables were occupied. We were told to pick any table. The server took our beverage order and got us our menus. For a restaurant with about 10-12 tables they only had one server and she wasn't super knowledgable. Maybe she was new. She seemed nice, even though we had to remind her twice to bring us the chilli oil (again, one server for too many tables). We ordered the hot and sour soup and Triple Star for our entree. The hot and sour soup was pretty bland. It lacked flavor, salt and spice. Even some salt, pepper and soy sauce didn't fix it. The Triple Star (a combination of chicken, shrimp and beef in a brown sauce) was decent enough. I would definitely order that again, although it's nothing super awesome to write about. At one point the owner came out to survey the place. By then there was just one other table still occupied. He asked them how the food was etc etc. He did look over at us twice and made eye contact but didn't think it was important enough to ask us how our food was. Oh well, I go to a restaurant for not just food but service as well. I didn't feel welcome here. I'm not sure I would consider going here, especially when there's another decent Chinese restaurant just 5 minutes away. Oh and by the way, no fortune cookies with the check :( read more

I just finished my dinner that I picked up tonight from Chia Bistro. This restaurant happens to be in my neighborhood, so I thought I would give it a try. I don't usually take the time to write reviews, but I really felt like giving credit where credit is due. I ordered scallops and mixed vegetables. There was a generous helping of large scallops that were cooked to perfection and delicious. Also, there was quite a variety of vegetables that were carefully cooked, so that they were not too crunchy or too limp and bursting with flavor. The meal was served in a delicate brown sauce, which was carefully seasoned and absolutely delicious! Wow! I was so happy to find this treasure right in my neighborhood! read more

Beef and broccoli was good. Sesame chicken wasn't bad. The brown rice was bland. No taste what so ever. The egg roll was bland as well. Not even sure what was inside when all you see is white. The prices are more then Red Dragon on Poplar Tent. We probably won't be coming back to Chia Bistro as we'd rather go somewhere that costs less and tastes a whole lot better. read more

This is our go to delivery for Chinese! It's quick and easy, food is good and so far no complaints from anyone in the family. My only complaint is that we don't get as much food as we do at other Chinese restaurants... but really other than that nothing bad at all to say. My family loves Chinese food and this place is a great go to! read more

Our go to place for take out! We recently move to Highland Creek and stumbled upon Chia Bistro in an effort to fill our bellies with Sesame Chicken and haven't bothered to check out anywhere else. Their portions are easily large enough for two meals and their egg drop soup is great. Food is always hot, even after the ten minute ride home. Must try! read more
