    Curry Laksa w/ Chicken & Shrimp
    Rose E.

    I've had some mixed experiences here in the past...but I remember not quite loving the experience here last time. Still, I decided to give it another try. Well, immediately, I remembered why I didn't quite love this place. Just like last time, the place was literally freezing-cold. As much as I love A/C, this place goes over-the-top with the cooling. Then their outlandish price points! For instance, their Crispy Tuna Rice appetizer is priced at nearly 20 bucks. Really??? I've NEVER seen this appetizer priced so high...ANYWHERE...not even the swankiest places in NYC or LA. Then my order...Curry Laksa was 29 bucks, once I added Shrimp. BTW, they add 5 bucks for 4 small shrimps. What a rip-off! I really liked this dish way back...but this time, not so much. The curry broth was weak this time. The broth was much more yellow (versus more orange)...very diluted! While the veggies were fresh in this Laksa dish, they were just not that tasty. In the past, I remember appreciating the freshness of the veggies...but definitely not the variety that is at all appetizing. In short, this was the worst Curry Laksa from this place yet...while the most expensive. At Open Rice, you'll get a MUCH better, richer version of Curry Laksa, complete with fresh, tasty veggies, at fraction of the price! Even YaMe Noodles serves up a better bowl of Curry Laksa. Service was just OK. The place itself is quite fancy with its sprawling roof design...but they ruined the ambiance of the place by putting half the chairs up during dining hours (?!?)! Plus, no overhead music either. Just a ton of cold air and high pricing lol! I'm about done with this place. Their price points are truly ridiculous...especially given their mediocre foods. I could only down half of my Curry Laksa bowl (Just not that good!)...and I left feeling quite ripped off (again)! Think I should know better not to return here again.

    I have consistently received both great service and food since they opened. Never been disappointed or felt gouged or undervalued here. And tonight with friends was as expected. Thanks for years of getting it right! Has my "Give 'em a Whirl" meter smiling every time I am nearby. Go here.

    We LOVE this place we have been coming here for years. The food is always top notch. And the service is wonderful. The ambiance is so comfortably and cozy. The last time we went our waiter Alston went above and beyond for us. He was great. If you are thinking about trying this place you won't be disappointed. Give it a try.

    This restaurant was so good! The service was incredibly friendly and fast and they even sat us very quickly. The meal was a bit more expensive than we were prepared for but they shared the best nights to go for half priced sushi or small plates so we can come back and enjoy more for less. I definitely think it was worth the splurge and parking is easy in the park road shopping center. Delicious food and great dining experience.

    C.O. is a Charlotte classic that can be trusted regardless of any changes to our food scene. I became a fan over 10 years ago and, no matter how much time passes between visits, they never disappoint. Love the Drunken Noodles w/steak--perfectly cooked noodles with just enough spice to keep it interesting. You also can't go wrong with the Malaysian wings or crispy edamame spring rolls--if only this was what it meant to eat our veggies as kids! Of all the cuisine types available in the QC, Asian is where I find us to lack the most. C.O. for the win every time!

    The food was amazing--no complaints and taste. Service was slow but manageable. The ambience was what you would get on Valentine's Day. I still enjoyed myself even though I had a hair in my drink. Make sure you check your drink before you drink it.

    (CO)LD nights call for CO! However I recommend going during any time of the year! The giant structure from the center of the bar spreading out against the ceiling brings instant vibes. Very cool indoor area and nicely/dimly lit, but also offers outdoor seating tucked in a little alley on the side of the building. Parking is easy as it's in Park Rd Shopping Center. Drinks were great, food was fantastic, and service was great too! When I asked for to-go boxes for leftovers, the waitress brought them to the table but cleared the food and packed it all up in front of me.

    Went on a Monday night for Martini Mondays and had an amazing customer service experience with Millie. She was friendly and extremely knowledgeable. Food was amazing as well as the ambiance.

    Spicy Crab Rangoons and Lychee Martini.

    I'm screaming to you that this place has THE BEST CRAB RANGOONS IN CLT! They have amazing specials from 4-7 everyday that are sooo worth it. Sake crafts, and martinis are boozy and fresh which is my personal fav. The servers here are cool and fun. Prompt with food delivery. The eye catcher is this beautiful wooden art piece that sprouts from the middle of the room (bar). Very upscale feeling. Going outside of the special hours it can be pricey. However the dishes are of high quality and menu offers a variety.

    Kicking off the first of a series of birthday dinners, I met up with friends at CO. First things first, there was no heat as of Dec.4th. Initially we thought the restaurant was just cold, but the waitress confirmed the heat was OUT. No apology. No discount. Not cool, cold. After being told it was my birthday, the waitress didn't so much as acknowledge this in any way. Not even a "Happy Birthday". Those are my gripes. Food was great. They have very reasonable specials, drinks all day and food 4pm-7pm. I had beef dumplings, which were yummy, but could've been warmer. What was warm that I appreciated was my sushi. I took a chance and chose the one with sweet potato, not knowing how it would be incorporated. However, it was a puree. Very good. Everyone else enjoyed their meal and overall had a good time sans the temperature.

    Interesting interior at Co.

    A nice restaurant, had the caramel pork Banh Mi, pretty good. The filling was good, had a bit of spice, the bread was really good too. The filling could have been just a bit better, a daikon-carrot slaw would have been a bit crunchier. The service was good, everything is done with QR codes although they will offer a paper menu on request. The bill also comes on a QR code, super convenient. The interior is very nice, interesting design. 4.5 stars overall

The restaurant was suspiciously empty for a Saturday afternoon, besides us there was another family dining in. But, I did notice they were pushing out a ton of to go orders, so that's a good sign. Our servers were so polite, and offered insight on some of the popular items on the menu. We had the chicken pot stickers and they were good. I ordered the Pho Dac Biet, which was absolutely delicious! The broth was prefect, you usually have to doctor pho up to get it to taste right, but that was not needed with this pho. I have to say this is the best pho I've had to date!!! The broth was simple yet flavorful, the vegetables were fresh, and the meat was tender. Everything was delightful. Service was great, the food was fresh and delicious. We agreed that we would definitely come back. What a great hidden gem.

Now once you arrive, you sit down and they take your order as opposed to ordering yourself at a kiosk like before. They did add some things to their menu but unfortunately got rid of a lot of things, including our favorite bowls which is why we went there a lot. They added calamari which we love but unfortunately these were not the best. No flavor. Vietnamese coffee was strong and sweet. They got rid of their rice bowls and anything "created your own" the noodles bowls only come with cucumbers, sprouts, lettuce, noodles and protein of you want. Before you fould customize it and add a plethora of things to it which we loved and was very filling (refrence my older pics posted). Unfortunately the noodle bowl was just lacking with the minimal ingredients offered and it was not very flavorful at all. Upon learning these new changes, I don't believe we will be returning.

    Dinner at Saigon Palace with friends is always a good idea…read more This was one of those nights where the table just kept filling up with dishes and everyone shared everything family-style. Summer rolls, quail, noodle dishes, pho, and of course the beef and broccoli that I am constantly telling people to order. Once again, it delivered. Tender beef, great flavor, huge portion, and everybody at the table immediately understood why I keep talking about it. This is the kind of restaurant that works best when you order a bunch of dishes and let everyone try a little of everything tapas-style. The portions are generous and very shareable. The staff here is also genuinely helpful. They made recommendations for our table, checked in often, and kept everything moving smoothly even with a larger group. Another underrated bonus is the parking. They have their own lot, which in Charlotte honestly deserves appreciation all by itself. Easy access too, especially if you are coming from the freeway or busy parts of town. If you love Vietnamese food, this place is absolutely worth adding to your regular rotation. Great pho, great noodle dishes, friendly service, and consistently delicious food. Life is too short to not eat well. Get out there and eat your way through Charlotte.
