Oh man, WHY did I wait so long to check out CO? I dropped in for dinner on a Wednesday evening around 6 p.m. - we were able to snag bar seats right away (by 6:30ish, the restaurant was full and there was a wait for a table or bar seats). We started off with the $3 happy hour summer roll with a delicious peanut sauce - it was the perfect light start for 2 people. We both ordered the curry laksa with shrimp added -- this noodle soup was so rich and flavorful. The coconut-curry creaminess was simply dream-worthy. Thankfully, I didn't find it spicy at all (I only mention this because I had read in another review that they received a very spicy bowl.) The venue is beautiful and the the service was perfect. CO could serve as a casual bite or a fancy night out - you decide! read more

Hubs and I went to check this place out for an early dinner one day and we enjoyed our time here. It wasn't crowded, but we went at an off time. It's located in the Park Road Shopping Center so there's plenty of parking. It can get crowded and crazy though. The inside is very modern and clean. Concrete, clean lines, and a huge wooden feature that extends into the whole restaurant. It was freezing and the music was too loud to really enjoy the ambiance. Their cocktail menu looked good even though we didn't order anything. We did get several rolls including the pressed sushi rolls. Those were mostly rice and a little sliver of fish and avocado so they were really worth the money, but the rolls were really good. I ended up ordering dessert which was fried cheesecake and it was amazing. I would go back just for that. Overall, it wasn't one of our favorites, but it was good and a good experience. read more

This is one of my favorite places. I love the curry latka. Today it was different. The chicken tasted like it was boiled and thrown in right before serving it. The chicken had no flavor. It's like the now cool the meal and put the protein in before serving. I'm not a fan anymore. read more

20-25 minute wait on a Thursday night, around 7pm. This place is really hip. They eventually dimmed the lights and played a lot of remixed songs. Almost like a mini club lol I liked it. As a starter, I got the Crab Rangoon Dumplings. They were hot and fresh. And DELICIOUS! They were tiny but the perfect size to hold me over until my entree came. My main dish was the Korean Short Rib Banh Mi. It came with a little cup of kimchi slaw. I put a little on top of the short rib and it complemented it nicely. Extremely good food. Good service from our waiter. The hostess however was not very friendly. She looked like she did want to be there. Or even seat us. She just looked at us without even saying hi hello welcome.. she was just like, "how many." and looked bothered.. A hostess is the first encounter you really have at a restaurant.. maybe she was having a bad day. It was very busy too. But it would've been nice if she treated us with just a tad bit of kindness. Because it was kind of awkward. Oh well. Still a great restaurant and I will definitely be coming back. read more

After much deliberation on whether or not to hit up Doan's, Rai Lay, or Hibiscus, we decided on checking out CO for the very first time, and man I'm regretting not coming here before! CO is quietly nestled next to the entrance of Back Lot, and has dark windows to kind of separate your experience from the bustle of Park Road Shopping Center. When you walk in, you're immediately struck by the wooden centerpiece that has planks extending to all edges of the whole space. Very cool. Kept on marveling at it while eating. While The Lady and I sat at the bar, Garrett helped us out a TON with recommendations, and also making sure that our plates came out correctly. Soggy bread in the shrimp curry? Let's replace it. Cocktail too bitter? Have some more champagne. Garret was AWESOME throughout our whole time here. To drink, I ordered the Dark n' Peach, a slightly fruity and herbal variation on a dark and stormy that was complex and wonderful. For food we ordered: Spicy Crab Rangoon: The best cream cheese filling ever, at the perfect temperature. Would absolutely order again. Sushi rolls: Fiji Salmon, Tuna Tataki, Lemon Roll. All of these were great, but I have to side with The Lady - The Lemon one was very different.. it was more of like an aperitif sushi roll, if that makes sense. Very light and refreshing. Small dishes: Curry Shrimp. Holy cow, that broth was incredible. I could drink BOWLS of it. It comes with pieces of toast, but they were soggy at first, and once they were replaced it was much better (just as an extra touch to the dish). I saw lots of cool things on the menu that I want to try for next time, so The Lady and I (or anybody else who offers first) will have to make a point of coming back, and soon! read more

The service wasn't very good and right when the appetitizers came out it all seemed to go down hill from there. We ordered 3 pork belly bao buns and one with no cilantro, the order took quite a while to come out and when it did all three bao buns had cilantro, when the server came back she insisted that we didn't tell her but we absolutely did and she even confirmed it. We were then told another order would be put in and comped. Then when we were ready to order for the whole group the same server took our order and proceeded to confirm the order. About 15-30mins in we're told that the wagyu was out and a few people had to reorder. The grouped waited for quite sometime after that and once the orders started coming out...orders were confused, extra orders of certain dishes were being put on the table that weren't ordered, soups came out cold, and some orders we were told were cancelled for some reason. At the end, our check included all 4 bao buns when we were told one was comped, the wagyu rolls that we were told were out were also added to the check as well as an extra roll that wasn't ordered. When we server came back we felt insulted in her response to us outlining the issues with the receipt. It was a terrible experience. First and last visit. read more

Best PHO in CLT. I don't think they use a delivery service, wish they did. But worth the drive for take out .

Hands down my favorite Asian restaurant in Charlotte! Everything was so tasty and the service was great. Also ask you what spice level you want. I can handle a lot of spice and usually when I say extra spicy, it's not enough for me. But this place was perfect!! read more

CO has everything you could want in an Asian fusion place! We met another couple there for dinner on a Sunday evening, and we were able to be seated quickly, even though there were a lot of people eating. This place has a wonderful atmosphere-lots of seating, a bar in the middle, and dim lighting. We each got a drink, and while they took a while to get, they were very good. Mine was an orange blossom, and I loved it. The table got crab Rangoon for an appetizer. OMG, they were hot and delicious, with a sweet sauce drizzled over them. For my meal, I ordered the Pad Thai with chicken. It was really, really good-the perfect amount of unami and savory. I was able to try some of boyfriend's sushi roll and pho. Both were really good! We had a wonderful server, who was very attentive and helped us with recommendations. We had food to go, and everything was worth the price. We will definitely be coming back here! read more

I enjoy a lot of things about the Park Road Shopping Center and CO is one of them. They've got really great food and excellent service. I came here for a lunch with coworkers and as usual the food that I got did not disappoint. This time I decided to give their Thai green curry a try and it was super yummy. It had the most flavorful amount of spice without being too incredibly over bearing with it. The mix of vegetables and shredded chicken made the curry very savory and I enjoyed adding my rice to the whole thing and mixing it all up together. Once I did that the rice soaked together with all the curry flavor and was absolutely amazing. And it was such a great amount of food so I had leftovers to take home and enjoy later. Definitely check out CO for a wide range of noodle, rice, and sushi dishes. Both times I have been were amazing and I can't wait to go back. read more

Ordered green curry and the meat was too salty. Luckily, the server took it back. Fried rice was okay.

Even though there was a delay and shortage of glassware with the kitchen backed up. Understandable during COVID, there are so many little things we take for granted in a restaurant to come to light during this time. That being said, we had the best service tonight and it was a non issue for our large party. Food was spot on as always! If you come in please keep in mind that businesses are still trying to operate during a pandemic. read more

Can't believe this place has been open 2 years and this was my first time trying it! We sat at the bar since the only tables left we're for 8 (but good to know next time I have a group). Garrett was our bartender and he was very attentive and easy to chat with without being overly chatty. He'd been there just over two years and knew a lot about the menu. We took pretty much all of his recommendations! Drinks: I had the Orange Blossom, which at first was a little bitter for my taste, but Garrett heard me and was nice enough to add a little more champagne to even it out. Food: started with the spicy crab ragoon dumpling and YUM! Next came out our two rolls of sushi to share: the FIJI Salmon and Tuna Tataki. The salmon was rice-free and very fresh. The tuna was excellent as well and a great combo of flavors. We also later added a lemon roll which was very refreshing but definitely different. You have to like lemon a lot. We also ordered the curry shrimp from the small plate part of the menu. It took a long time to come out and Garrett noticed and checked. It came out not long after that but the bread was soggy. Garrett noticed and put in an order for new bread for us, which was much crispier. The food was pretty great and Garrett was freaking awesome for looking out for us. The only thing I would change is just making sure every item served is top quality. read more

I ordered the Beef Kim Chee potstickers, the Avocado Mango spring rolls, the spicy pork tacos and the cheesecake wonton dessert via the Yelp app to pick up. Pot stickers: ok flavor, but did not detect any kimchee. Avocado Mango was delicious and the sauce was good. Spicy tacos were not spicy at all, but pretty bland. The dessert would have been good, but they gave it to me without lids on the chocolate and vanilla sauces and they just sloshed together in the container. There was also a side of Cilantro and onions that had gone bad (smelled so gross!), so I just tossed it. Meh. read more

CO is a really nice Asian restaurant in the Park Road Shopping Center. It is located near the middle of the shopping center near Jeni's Ice Cream. The food is good. I recommend coming early on weekend night because it does get crowded. My mom got the Green Papaya salad and loved it. I ate the Spicy Crab Rangoon and Pork and Ginger dumplings. My meal was delicious, but a little on the tiny size. I have had bigger dumplings elsewhere. I still would come back and get them again though. They were flavorful. read more

Half price sushi rolls on Thursday before 7pm. Ummm... yes please! We totally planned to go here regardless of the sushi special, but it did sway our menu choices once we found out about it especially since CO's menu is super diverse with a lot of options. We went early since we were catching a movie at Park Terrace so didn't have to wait for a table. You can tell the restaurant got really busy all of a sudden since service was a little slow. Our server Danielle was super nice and took care of us. The entire table ended up getting sushi, but it all came at the same time with exception to a roll that had been fried (so understandable)... but still it was maybe a min or two before it came after everything else arrived. Oh - half price off of Sake carafes was a nice pairing as well. The lemongrass lychee was delicious and DANGEROUS. They have OMB on tap here as well as Sapporo and other craft beer options (in bottle form). Sushi was tasty. I had the pork belly and the spider. I know for those "traditionalist" sushi eaters, a pork belly roll, may not be your thing, but luckily there are plenty of other "things" on the menu. Probably the restaurants interior and ambiance is probably one of it's strongest features with the wood slats creating a cool space that all stems from the bar. Since we early I saw some couples with small children, so it's nice to see a kid friendly atmosphere here. The later it got though, I didn't really see how kids would do in a loud, dim environment. read more

I am not a huge Vietnamese fan, but was invited to CO for Restaurant Week and definitely am always up for new things so couldn't pass up the invite. Needless to say I am so happy I went. CO definitely did not disappoint and I definitely see myself returning soon. We started with the tuna tacos, light and fresh, a perfect start to the meal. Then on to sushi which was my favorite part of the meal. I had the Kung Fu Crunch roll, OMG! Salmon, Avocado Cream Cheese topped with Spicy Tuna and Tempura Flakes. I could have gotten five of those rolls, so good. Others had the Lemon Roll, which they loved. For entrees we tried a variety of items, including Chicken Pad Thai, Curry and a Beef Rice Bowl. All were amazing. Along with the menu, we received Saki pairings, 3, which was a nice addition. My favorite was a Sparkling Pineapple Sake. The atmosphere is very cool, but service was definitely not 5 stars...but again it was Restaurant Week so I won't fault them for that. Although my first visit was during Restaurant Week, the service and food was so good I will definitely be a returning customer. read more

I would highly recommend the Chicken Pad Thai and the firecracker roll. Denise did a really good job suggesting items on the menu and both selections were delicious. She was prompt to greet us and kept us laughing. Definitely coming back! read more

Short rib banh mi and tuna stack is the perfect meal. We love going to happy hour too. Leechee tea is so good!

I'm definitely starting to become obsessed with this place. I've been here twice and each time was amazing! I love the atmosphere, you can dress up or down and it all works here. I've only sat at the bar, but i got the same if by more attention if i had a regular table. I mean super friendly and knowledgeable staff! I love the happy hour and daily specials that allows you to try a lot of different items on their menu. My favorite this is the curry Laksa. It is the best! Not to mention it is huge! Bartender suggested that i take the broth home( because you will have a lot left) and reheat and add some rice! Yes thank you, a nice substitute the next day! Prices are reasonable and the drinks are great, try the sake on 1/2 carafe days(Tuesday and Thursday)! read more

This was my 3rd time coming here and it's slowly becoming one of my favorite restaurants. The food and service has yet to disappoint! They have different specials all throughout the week as well as a great Happy Hour Mon-Fri from 4p to 7pm. This visit I ordered the blackberry sake carafe that was so good, great suggestion from our bartender Brandon. And it was 1/2 off because it was Thursday. For food I had the Spicy Crab Rangoon, Kung Fu Crunch sushi roll and the Masa Ramen. I could have ate like 3 orders of the Crab Rangoon because it's just that good. The sushi and ramen were delicious as well, lots of flavors and cooked perfectly. The atmosphere is more upscale compared to your more traditional pho/ramen restaurant that makes it a good place for a date night or birthday dinner. read more

Atmosphere is casual but very "Uppy" service is not bad but can have some improvements. I had the Vietnamese Rame. I added wakame, mushrooms and scallions (they should add it to the original one) it's definitely not spicy so if you like spicy food you need to ask for it before ordering. I asked for chili oil and they gave me a spicy sauce (definitely not chili oil) it had a different taste to it and texture too (it may have peanuts). The broth and noodles weren't really hot like a ramen should be. The noodles got really mushy really fast and they had a "different" taste to them, not bad just different. The egg was good. Overall it was ok. Definitely would make some improvements. Not opposed to coming back and giving it a second try. read more

Love co! Out of the entire dining scene in charlotte, Co offers some of the most widely diverse menus and still manages to have quick and speedy service. Their asian food is flavorful, and their menu is well put together and thoughtful. I always come for the spicy pho ($14?) and their summer rolls ($7). The pho is enough for two meals for me, and the summer rolls come with a nutty dipping sauce and are always tasting fresh. This is a great place for date night or a casual night with friends. Always knocks it out of the of the park. read more

New to the area and was really looking for a hole in the wall Vietnamese spot. Came across Co which was pretty close and they had pho and spring rolls so I ordered. It took quite a minute for my order to be ready and was a little disappointed with the summer rolls as they have ice berg Lettuce in them. But the Pho.. was great! I haven't had a pho that tasted like this broth but I wasn't upset. It is refreshing and has a great aftertaste. I also got a refresher which was good. I also accidentally ordered the spring rolls over the summer rolls which I wanted to summer so got both after arrival. The spring rolls were fried but decent as well. I would return for the pho! A little pricy but compres to local hole in the wall pho places. read more

I'm surprised I haven't written a review of Co yet! We have been several times, and every time I am always glad we did. This most recent time, a few of us got mocktails which were pretty refreshing. We sat at the bar until a table outside was ready. The patio is super chill and tucked in the side of the restaurant, with plants bordering the seating area. We each ordered something different. I got green curry chicken with no rice, and they loaded the bowl up. It was perfectly spicy and very tasty. My dad got the pad Thai with chicken. Not quite as flavorful as it could have been, but still good. My husband tried a tofu dish that he enjoyed, and my mom had Thai basil chicken. Every time we come, the food is consistent and good, the service is good, and the atmosphere is always a pleasant buzz. If you haven't been to Co, check it out next time you're feeling Asian! read more

Great food and service consistently in a nice setting. Never been disappointed. Try the edamame rolls...

At this point, I've been to CO about four times, and have now tried a good chunk of the menu. I have yet to find something I don't like. Let's start with the starters. Pork dumplings were pretty decent and the edamame was good. If you're looking for a safe bet, these are the way to go. If you're looking to jump a little outside the box, try the short rib bahn mi. Great flavors and sauce! Now let's transition into the Sushi. I had a wagu rool that had cream cheese in it...sounds weird, but it works. I've tried a few other rolls with salmon and tuna...all are incredibly FRESH (not fishy) and the rice/seaweed was not chewy like it's been sitting out for a while waiting to be turned into a roll. I hope you've saved room for noodles. Drunken noodles and pad thai are pretty solid. Thai Basil was ok. Big winner was the Vietnamese Ramen. So much flavor in that little bowl, it was unbelievable! Included are two pieces of pork belly...a nice added touch. It's a fun place to get dinner. They have a cute outdoor space, so I can see this being a popular spot to hang out during the summer. Drinks are pretty good and the service is decent, but you come here for the food and the ambiance. Great vibe! read more

CRAB RANGOONS!!! Co at the Park Road Shopping Center serves up some damn fine Crab Rangoons (or Zappy Zoops, as they are sometimes called).

This place was not a disappointment! It was happily delicious and left me with some cravings to come back! I tried the wontons, dumplings, and curry shrimp for appetizers and loved them all!

I got the drunken noodles, which was also very delicious. The service was ok. I was more thrilled with the food. I came back shortly after my first visit because I was so excited to try the steamed bun. I would definitely pick the other menu items OVER that. It was not what I had hoped. read more
