Chicken Wings and Fried Rice
Laquisha N.

Nice restaurant with plenty of seating. Food was hot and fresh. I had the sweet and sour soup with Shrimp fried rice and chicken wings.

Crab Rangoon
Valarie J.

We decided to order take out from this restaurant. We wanted something quick and easy. It was very easy to order. We ordered General Tso Chicken with white rice with Crab Rangoons. The General Tso Chicken had good flavor and there was lots of chicken. I believe it comes with a pint a white rice. The low star review was solely for the Crab Rangoons. They were literally empty. There was no filling inside any of them and it was a huge waste of money. I wouldn't order them again sadly.

Shrimp fried rice with chicken wings, always good and excellent service

Fast and friendly service, fried rice and chicken wings are really good. My go to Chinese when I'm in Pineville.

Crab Ragoons. Not my favorite but there ok.

Always friendly and quick! I lived in South Charlotte almost 20 years and they are definitely my go-to take out. Food is great and fresh. They also sell shrimp sauce which is a plus!

Hot & Sour Soup a little bland
Rosanne R.

Very good for take out Chinese! We called in the order but apparently you can order online from the website (not listed on yelp). We ordered and would recommend the chicken and broccoli with garlic sauce (our preference), pork fried rice, orange chicken. We also ordered but wouldn't reorder the Mongolian beef - beef was a little tough, and the hot and sour soup which was bland. The char sui pork was ok but greasy. Would def reorder here!

We were so glad that this place was open for take out despite COVID-19! They have a wide variety of options at great affordable prices. We had Shrimp with Lobster Sauce dinner combo ($8.75) and General Tso's Chicken dinner combo ($8.25). The dinner combos all come with pork fried rice and an egg roll. The egg roll was large but a bit soggy and lacking in flavor. They were very generous with their portion sizes. General Tso's Chicken was not spicy at all, which I was actually glad for. Their Steamed Dumplings (8 pieces for $4.95) were delicious. You can request that the dumplings are either fried or steamed. We weren't sure when our food was ready for pick up because our name was never taken and therefore never called out, nor were we given a number to be called when our food was ready. They just left the food in a bag on the counter and walked away, as if we were somehow supposed to know it was ours. Other than that, we were pleased with our experience.

This is what came out of the plastic bag my order was in!

The paper bag with my order was in a plastic bag, so I did not notice the greasy mess until I took it out of the bag. The food was otherwise just okay.

Shrimp in garlic sauce lunch special.

The food is always consistent, and that's what keeps me coming back here. I visited during lunch, and they only had two servers working, so service was a little slower than usual. To start, I ordered the spring roll, then had the Wan Fu Scallops and the Singapore Rice Noodles. The spring roll was crispy and hit the spot. The Singapore noodles were packed with flavor and had a nice spicy kick. If you're not big on spice, I'm sure they can tone it down if you ask. The Wan Fu Scallops were tender and just as delicious. I've been here several times, and the quality never disappoints. Consistency is hard to find, but Wan Fu gets it right every time. If you're looking for Chinese food in Charlotte that's worth coming back for, this is the spot.

Couldn't tell a big difference between the two, and also deep friend which we were totally expecting. Then our entrées came and were the real showstopper! We ordered fried rice with Chinese sausage and shrimp (also deep fried) and Kung Pao Beef. Different dishes, but both packed with flavor! Service was great being very attentive and helpful in guiding our order. The vibe was on point with a cool decor style that seemed authentic. I was shocked at the look of the building too-- even has lion statues! I am glad we found a new go-to Chinese spot!

I ordered the General Tso Tofu, and it was like little heavenly bites of perfection. Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and packed with flavor. Absolutely delicious!

The customer service is always five-star -- they take the time to explain the dishes if you have any questions or concerns. The dining area is also very clean and welcoming. Phenomenal experience every time!

As far as atmosphere, it's super casual, no cocktails, not much in the way of ambiance. Think of it as primarily for takeout, with table service. No matter! You come here for the huge portions of Chinese comfort food. Service is excellent and friendly. I could've spent a half hour with that menu, as I wanted to make sure I ordered the right things. This is the perfect place to share, as with many Chinese food that's done right and well, you order protein dishes apart from vegetable dishes. So we had Beijing veg duck, dry pot, eggplant with basil (they were out of the string beans that I really wanted to try) and shumai to start. All of it was delicious. I knew the eggplant was a bit of a risk, as so many places will serve you rubbery, bitter horrors. Not the case here! It's sweet with melt-in-your-mouth texture and I appreciated that it had other veggies mixed in with the generous portion of eggplant. The protein dishes are full of taste and texture-- no need to add seasoning to the dry pot (perhaps a little more spice but they have red pepper flakes on the table). I'd expected more of a bean curd skin/yuba for the duck, but instead it's seitan (I believe) and chewy in a good way. The shumai was tasty but too starchy and full of rice when I expected protein. Not sure I'd order that again with so many other tempting apps, including other dumplings, on the menu. If this were in my neighborhood, I'd be over the moon, because I'd finally have a viable option for good Chinese takeout. As a vegan, normally I'm regulated to the same old Buddhist's Delight. Ma Ma is such a treasure.

It is busy enough that plenty of other people had also called in for takeout. The price was higher than I thought it would be by a significant margin; I thought something was off but then rechecking their menu I saw it was indeed $20 for a vegetable entree. On the upside, they did offer brown rice at no extra charge. Still, I'll get three meals out of it and as someone who eats a lot of takeout, this was not a great value. In terms of quality, I was thrilled to find that they offered a stir-fried okra dish. This is a ubiquitous Indian dish, and of course okra is common throughout the tropics globally, but I'd never seen this offered at a Chinese restaurant before. And the rapid cooking technique typical of the cuisine produced a delightfully crisp vegetable, which went great with a black bean sauce and some very hot dried chilis. On the other hand, their interpretation of ma po tofu had some fermented broad beans but minimal vegetables (sometimes you get mushrooms or peas or at least some leeks or something) and no numbing sensation. They had a bean curd roll dish that I enjoyed, and some quality dumplings. Overall, not huge portions and a mix of okay to great quality.

The pork lo mein, while also generally bland in the noodle and sauce department, had generous helpings of roast char siu pork that were decently flavorful. This was the only saving grace of the meal. ==The Bad== The wonton soup was lacking a bit in salt, which i understand may be a personal taste preference, but there also wasn't any particularly strong flavor from the wontons so the whole dish just felt dissatisfying. The sauce in the Mongolian beef wasn't very savory so it, too, came off a bit bland. To their credit, the cuts of beef were actually quite good and the vegetables were decent, but without a solid tasting sauce the whole thing falls a part. ==The Ugly== The teriyaki chicken skewers were just chicken with teriyaki sauce poured over them. It seems almost heretical that they didn't bbq these skewers in the sauce. This was the most disappointing part of the meal. Overall, pretty on par for restaurants that have long lost their passion for this game. If you've never had Chinese in Boston, LA or New York, you'll probably like this place. More well-traveled patrons should look elsewhere.

It's very rare for me to do a review and not have pics to accompany it but from entrance to exit I don't think I liked my phone up once.

I have eaten here many times and I have tried virtually everything on the menu. With that said, here is my take on it. Everything that I have tried has been delicious! For cold appetizers, I am a big fan of the Black Fungus W. Vinegar Sauce, Cold Spicy Sour Cucumber and the Spicy Beef Tendon. For hot appetizers, everyone raves about the Popcorn Chicken and I concur that it's very good! I really like the Frled Pork Gyoza too. For the main course, they have some rice dishes, but the main focus is the hot pot soups. They bring out a 300°F Stone bowl of broth (in an insulated pot holder) and the ingredients to put in it. You put the meat and lettuce in first, then the other ingredients and the noodles last then wait for "10 seconds"thus the name of the restaurant. I have tried all of the broths and they are all good depending on your tastes. The original broth is the bass broth. Then they add things to the other others to differentiate them. My favorites are the Tomato Soup (especially with Beef Flank) and Spicy Soup. If you like things VERY spicy, they can bring you some cut Thai peppers. The wait staff are patient are very helpful in guiding patrons. They understand that this is a new experience for them. They also pay attention to their customers eating habits. One time when I went in, they noticed that I added lots of chili peppers and chili oil to my food. That's when she said she could bring me some very hot fresh chili peppers. Charlotte is truly blessed to have so many great authentic Chinese body shops popping up all over town! I highly recommend this place! Cheers!
