Sunset Crab Roll
Kamilia L.

The weekly specials are a hit. HH 4-7 pm with drink specials daily including sushi specials 1/2 off on T/Th. Thats a great weekday experience. I was forewarned that the wagyu was removed so I went with my classic, a Sunset Roll. It was mostly cream cheese but my Lychee Tini was hit'n. I also indulged in the Katsu and Rangoon. I wanted a robust experience. To be honest this location isn't as good as Waverly. However, I do feel that its a great location with outside seating, too. I was pleasantly surprised as the space nestled in the Nook of the buildings. Try their udon. I got it too go and it was delicious. Great flavor!

Delicious blossom roll. Loved the kimchi sauce. Kids chicken strip meal was a good portion. Tons of parking in the plaza!

Beautiful presentation, but the flavors missed the mark Sunday errands had me in the area, and I originally just wanted to grab a banh mi. CO had been sitting in one of my Yelp Collections, so I decided it was finally time to give it a try. Located in Park Plaza, parking was plentiful and easy. I was warmly greeted when I walked in, and my first impression was great. The restaurant is beautiful inside, but since it was such a gorgeous day and they were seating outside, I happily chose a table on the patio. Along with the regular, drink and happy hour menus, I was given a menu featuring their new Bento Box Lunch. Curiosity won. I ordered the Chicken & Gyoza bento for $17: teriyaki chicken, pork and ginger gyoza, mixed green salad with carrot ginger dressing, maze gohan onigiri rice and a shoyu egg. When it arrived, it was beautiful. Everything was neatly compartmentalized and visually very appealing. Unfortunately, the flavors didn't live up to the presentation. The biggest issue was balance. The teriyaki chicken was overwhelmingly sweet. The gyoza had a nice ginger-forward flavor, but the accompanying dipping sauce was so salty that I couldn't really enjoy it. I eventually broke apart the onigiri and used the plain rice to temper some of the sweetness and saltiness. Ironically, my favorite thing was probably the salad. Fresh, crisp and delicious. My only quibble was that some of the greens were quite large for something being eaten with chopsticks; smaller, bite-sized pieces would have made it easier to enjoy. Service was pleasant and well-intentioned, although a little too attentive for my preference. Sometimes when I'm dining solo, I simply want to enjoy my meal quietly without frequent check-ins or conversation, and I would have appreciated a little more space. I really wanted to love this one. The setting was lovely, the presentation was beautiful and the menu has some genuinely interesting dishes--including laksa, which caught my eye. But after such an uneven experience with something as straightforward as teriyaki chicken and gyoza, I'm hesitant to venture into the more complex dishes. Would I return? Maybe. There was enough here that I'd be willing to believe I simply ordered the wrong thing. But the Bento Box wouldn't be my choice again. Life is too short not to eat well, sleep well or travel well. Get out there and find your next destination!

Fiji Salmon Roll and Wagyu Roll

The move is to come on Tuesday or Thursday from 4-7pm for their half off sushi rolls. Good sushi, nice ambiance, and great service.. we will be back!

Malaysian Chili Wings
Henry L.

First time trying this place. Wings were dry which was a bummer. Vietnamese ramen came out and it was missing the main protein: pork belly. Pork belly tasted good though. I added shrimp for $5. They were tiny shrimps. Laksa was okay. Food overall was expensive. Service could be better. Long wait to order and for the food to come out. It wasn't busy as this was around 7:30 pm on a Wednesday night. Ambiance is okay. Not sure if I will go back here after this experience.

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.

Pork & Crab Spring Rolls
Michelle F.

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.

Blackberry Bourbon Fizz--YUM!!!
Sabrina C.

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!

Blossom Roll
Ashley L.

My favorite restaurant in Charlotte. Always delivers. The Blossom Roll was excellent. Justin provided top notch service and made the experience fantastic. Coming back soon.

Kay T.

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.

Bar area
Mike G.

(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.

Asian crunch salad

Great food & service. Chill atmosphere and fun happy hour menu. First tried CO in Charleston and was excited to see they expanded to Charlotte. Asian crunch salad is my fav!

We drove to the restaurant and they were closed from 4pm-5pm (we arrived right at 5pm) I'm assuming this was a break for employees seeing as their hours are 10am-9pm. We we parked directly in front of the door watching employees come in for work. One of them had taken the "closed" sign off the door showing that they were now opening. This man in the photo proceeded to light a cigarette inside the restaurant closing and opening the front door to blow the smoke outside. We immediately left, because why would we want to eat or even walk into this place while this man was smoking inside the restaurant. Who would want to step inside this restaurant knowing that someone is smoking a cigarette inside this restaurant. The other employees in the dining room were watching this man smoke without a care. Imagine walking inside and immediately smelling cigarettes. If this man is allowed to smoke a cigarette inside their establishment, what else could they be doing inside that is not within restaurant cleanliness. Do what you'd like with this information but I thought it would be important to share this with others who are wanting to try this place.
