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.

Pork & Crab Spring Rolls

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!!!

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.
Sammie S.

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.

Dumplings
Kristy A.

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

This place is huge and the ambiance is great! The service was good as well we dined on the patio. We ordered tapa style, shared plates so we could have as much as possible! The twice fried Korean chicken? Amazing!! I recommend this method! Everything was AMAZING! I will say the Karaage comes with a side of mayo with a spice topped on it. Personally, I'm not dipping chicken in pure mayo and a siracha mayo would liven this dish up! The coconut shrimp looks underwhelming but the taste is delicious! The spring rolls taste so fresh and the roti is WORTH a few orders!! We will be back again!

Everything was decent and we had plenty leftover for lunch the next day. The service was fantastic and we really enjoyed our conversation with the server.

It was our first visit and we wanted to try the curry. We ordered the Thai Red Curry and the Thai Green Curry. Both were perfection!

These were both very good and we added shrimp and chicken. I believe they would be just a satisfying with only the vegetables.

They genuinely did not taste like chicken at all, and I couldn't even finish them. I strongly recommend staying away from that item. I also tried to order a bubble tea without ice and was told I'd be charged an extra $2 because they would need to "add more juice." I didn't ask for extra juice, just no ice!!! And charging extra for that feels unreasonable and borderline price gouging. Ridiculous!!!! Between the poor food quality and the frustrating service, the overall experience wasn't great, and I won't be returning.

My date said the wings were a 6 out of 10, and I thought my sushi was 8 out of 10. The cocktails were perfectly made. This spot is a great place for dates or to attend with a group of friends if you intend to get shareable plates as it has more of a tapas feel.
