Mixed bag of ok to go hum food, bad service, mediocre decor. The Green Curry is the standout meal. Huge portion, great mix of flavors. What they call the "broth noodles" are ok, but not good enough to make me forego the Green Curry usually. The wait staff is comically, and consistently, inattentive. And I think the prices are high for what it is, which is to say: middle of the road food in a setting that wants to be trendy, but isn't. The other locations look cooler. If you want better, similar food in a cooler setting, nearby, for better prices, head to Thai Taste or Zen Asian Fusion in Dillworth. Co is only a place to jump into if you're already at the Park Road Shopping Center and too lazy to drive to better options. read more

Been here about 10 times and it has yet to disappoint! The food is delicious, the staff attentive but not "over the top" and the atmosphere is "chill" (great music). I recommend it! I'm not sure why some people ding CO with lower than 5 stars as it has never been anything less than 5 for me. I had the Korean Rice Bowl and it was almost too pretty to eat! (see pic). Alas, I decided to eat it! Yum! read more

CO - Korean Rice Bowl! - Vietnamese Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

First impressions mean everything. Having a hair stick out of our iced coffee really set the tone for lunch for us. Waitress was really nice and immediately replaced the drink. At that point I don't know if my husband ordered it because he wanted one badly or he felt obligated. Either way the drink should have been comped, in our minds if there is hair in the drink what is in the food? Pork belly buns were the highlight of our lunch. I ordered a cabbage salad which was good. My husband ordered the ramen. It was....meh. 14 dollars for a bowl of soup? Maybe if he ordered pho his perception would change but even those prices seemed a little steep. I loved the ceiling fixture. Chairs were really uncomfortable, especially for those who are really short. Do I dangle my feet? I can't prop them as my legs are short. I sort of felt like a kid eating lunch in my elementary school cafeteria. I hate giving poor reviews, especially when the service is great. In my opinion at the very least a manager should have come out to apologize for a hair being in our drink but that's just me. Either way we probably won't be back. **I have spoken with a Manager who was apologetic and attempted to resolve over our experience and invited to return. We appreciate his sense of urgency. read more

Curry Laksa is so delicious. Tasty with fresh ingredients and herbs. Strongly recommend. Their Sushi is good too. I give a 5 star for Curry Laska and a 3 star for Sushi. read more

We loved this place! The sushi is great and so are the drinks and service! Will definitely be back!

My boyfriend and I recently had dinner at CO and were very impressed. There is such a good selection of menu items - sushi, dumplings, banh mi, broth bowls - and the best Pad Thai I've had since living in Charlotte. Order it with a side of peanut sauce - even more heavenly. This was the first time I'd had dessert at an Asian restaurant and let me tell you - I could eat those cheesecake wontons every day! The owner was even at the restaurant the first time we were there and took time to talk with tables and make menu and cocktail suggestions. I saw recently they have a great patio space with new beautiful furniture I didn't notice the first time I was there. I'll be enjoying sake cocktails this summer!! Also - they have a vegan and gluten free menu! :) read more

This place is beautiful and the decor is something you have a hard time looking away from. It's fabulous. We went on a Friday evening around 7pm and got right in without waiting. Great! The beauty of this place is all in the center of the restaurant where everyone is sitting at high tables. There is a half wall around this area, and then there are 9 low tables set outside of the wall. If you are one of the 9 unfortunate souls who gets sat at a low table, which we did, you are instantly transported back to your 10 year old self expecting an adult table but banished to eat at low kids table outside of the action. You get an excellent view of the wall, and just the tips of some peoples heads. The "kids" tables are very close to each other, so you get waitress butt in your face. My husband didn't mind. The outdoor seating area is basic. The staff was nice. We received an offer in the mail to try their restaurant buy one get one meal free. When we got there, we asked the waitress which meals this offer applied to. The catch: we were only able to choose from 3 rice dishes to get the deal, all of which we did not especially want. We're adventurous though, and tried them out: the Com Chien and the Korean Rice Bowl. They were okay but we wouldn't order them again. The rice bowl was extremely spicy (and I like spicy). My meal came out about 10 minutes before my husbands. I ended up sharing mine and we ate my entire meal before his came out. None of the staff mentioned anything, no apologies from staff. No updates about his food while we waited. Our waitress was nowhere to be found. Maybe that's how they do things. In my opinion, if you're a new restaurant (I know they're a chain) trying to get the nearly neighborhood locals to try and dig your restaurant, don't force them into ordering something they may not like with a tricky stingy coupon. read more

I really really want to love this place. The menu is amazing and has something for everyone;And it is convenient they have gluten and vegan friendly menus upon request. Service is the main concern. Maybe it is growing pains, but the service is BEYOND terrible. The servers are running around, so maybe there aren't enough of them, but the service is slow slow slow. It took us 20 minutes to get out wine, which was just left on our table, un poured with Champagne glasses (instead of wine glasses. ) we also received our apps AFTER our food had arrived. And the soup I ordered was cold. cold. Skip the sushi, it is overpriced and not creative or decent at all-stick to the small plates and noodle dishes. I know the soup bowels looks good, but they come out cold, and WAY to spicy to consume. The dumplings are amazing, as are the spring rolls and the sauce is wonderful that they pair with them. Drunken noodles and pad thai are very good, large portion, and they both have a bit of a spicy kick to them. They dont do take out- wish they did! read more

The sushi was so good and the presentation was perfect! The service was fast, polite, professional and inviting.

I went to this restaurant with a few friends for a late dinner and drinks. First of all it was beautiful inside and the staff was very friendly. I split the blackberry sake and it was some of the best I have had. I also tried the pineapple which was good but a little too sweet for me. My rice bowl was bursting with flavor and the portion was huge! I will be back again! read more

Delicious noodle dishes and dumplings. Specifically the beef and kimchee dumplings and the drunken noodles. Cool atmosphere and good, quick service, even on. Saturday night. read more

I've been here 4 times since its opened and haven't had a single bad thing on the menu! Amazing service for a party of 2 to a group of 25! Best menu items are Hanoi yellow curry noodles, salmon avocado lemon pressed sushi, tofu buns, beef kimchi dumplings, and the lychee blackberry cooler beverage! Everything tastes amazingly authentic. This is not just your average Asian food restaurant; it's truly a unique dining experience at very reasonable prices! read more

This is a greatly asthetic little spot in the middle of a shopping plaza so parking is easy and the ambiance is cool. BUT its overpriced sushi and out of a jar pho broth more than make up for it. The pho is mostly noodles so if you want what makes pho, well pho, you have to ask for an extra bowl. The water and Pepsi also taste like bleach, but you don't need much to wash down the little you'll eat here. Getting generous with two stars to be honest. read more

First time at CO. Nice atmosphere and hip feel. Given no reservations and typical waits, there is not adequate space to get a drink and hang out before your table is called. Only other negative is the constant thump thump music like you hear at a trendy night club or aloft hotel. Gets to be a bit obnoxious when you are trying to have a conversation with friends. Food was fantastic. From dumplings, curry dishes to sushi. Our waiter, Garrett, was informative and attentive. Will be a repeat diner, just think about changing up the music a little. read more

Can't speak for the rest of the menu, but their pho was terrible. Don't waste your time. It's a small (large cereal bowl) size bowl for $13. Most places charge about $8-9 for a bowl that small. The broth itself came out lukewarm and wasn't flavorful - tastes like you could buy a box of it pre-made in a store. I ordered the raw beef which came in huge slices that were tough and stringy. I've never had to spit pieces of pho meat out before, but I had to here several times. Staff was friendly and helpful, but avoid the pho - I'm guessing people go here for other items on the menu. read more

Yummy! I will definitely be back to try Co! Hubby had the green curry and I had the Curry Laksa, the signature dish. Soooo happy with mine! Would have it again in a hot minute - spicy, filling and tasty. I may try the beef pho next time I'm there, but the Laksa will be my go-to. I recommend this place for sure and love that Park Road Shopping Center has a new and different place to enjoy! read more

sashimi was good but we got charged twice. when we were ordering we asked how many pieces does it come with. server said "2 or 4 i think" he was wrong. it comes with 3 which was what we wanted and he charged us like $15. n when we asked about the price he said well i thought you both wanted 4 each. like why are you guessing? then i asked if he had a small side of fried rice and he brought a huge one that was $8. overall the service was awful. he did not want to be there AT ALL. like sorry we came in 1 HOUR before u guys close. i even asked if it was okay bc i am a server so i understand. but i would not recommend this place at all. it was our first n last time eating here. read more

Love the ambiance here!! Haven't been in person in a while due to COVID but the take-out is as good as in person! Start with the pork dumplings and then get a Korean Rice Bowl - both delicious!! They also have awesome, unique mixed drinks read more

Food decent but do not order any drinks $15 for a very small measured charddonay likewise very very weak mixed drink a complete rip off

I enjoyed all the dishes. Lychee drink from the menu had a pleasant aroma and the taste sealed the deal! The sushi rolls were nice. The waiter was nice and perfect with timing on everything. read more

It took 15 minutes to even get a drink order. Food took 30 minutes for Pho! Pho takes no more than 5 minutes to make... finished our food server was no where to be found for 15 minutes... food is definitely too expensive and not even tasty. I'm never going back to this place! Oh yeah they give you a super small portion of noodles! read more

I wish they would focus more on service. I live in the neighborhood and really want this place to do well (I do like their food) but I feel like service is poor. Recently I stopped dinning in and resorted to takeout but it is almost always delayed. Maybe the kitchen is slow. Today I placed my order at 6:00 and was scheduled to pick up at 7:30... It wasn't ready until 8:15. I asked for an update and and was told that it was being brought out...25 minutes later I finally had it. When I got home I noticed some of the sides were missing. It is easy to chalk this up to unusual times or an one off but I find this to be their standard not the exception. read more

It's a good place close to me with excellent meals and drink specials. I think the inside is nicely decorated with a large bar, seating, and a nice table layout. I went on a weekday night, not Friday or Saturday and there was a 25 minute wait to be seated. The hostess is friendly and we chatted while they cleared a table. After being seated the waitress came and we quickly ordered and were served. I enjoyed a pork sushi roll with cream cheese and a Japanese drink. Overall it was my second or third time at the restaurant which offers choices such as dumplings, sushi, Pho, and Vietnamese cuisine! read more

I agree with Jane - I really really want to like this place. However, I was quite let down. I anticipated this place opening and was thrilled to go there for the first time. The menu does look fantastic and I will have to go again to try something else; I ordered the Green Thai Curry. I LOVE green thai curry and this one just wasn't anything special. Very blah. The portion didn't even fill me up. However, my friend ordered the pho and had plenty. I was impressed with the wines they had by the glass but they had no drink specials on a Monday night. The service was not great. Our appetizer came a minute or two before entrees, even since we confirmed he had put our appetizer in after waiting for 15 minutes. I asked for a fork (to eat curry soaked rice) and had to wait for our server to run two tables other cards before he went into the back to bring me one. He also mixed up our tabs, but did fix it when we caught it. Again, this was a Monday night. Finally, the ambiance. I was so excited to see the inside in person, rather than on instagram! However, NONE of their seats have a back! We sat at a bench table, but I noticed no other seating options had any back support. And I could barely hear my friends across the table. There was no cloth in there to absorb sound. Overall, a giant "eh." And a disappointed lack of excitement. read more

Loved my sushi from here! Solid quality & price for what it was. Lots of other neat food options as well! Great location too.

Had a great time when my boyfriend and I went for date night a couple of weeks ago. Ambience was lovely, and the vegan menu made my day. Will be back soon. Eager to try lunch there. I only wish that they had more tofu entree options on the vegan menu. read more

CO - Gorgeous bar area. - Vietnamese Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Still one of my favorite places, so much to the point that it is a regular to me. I like the Waverly location as well but I believe the Park Rd location is more like home to me. The staff is wonder and always friendly and I am so excited to recently learn that they have a loyalty card to where you can possibly get cash back! (More reviews on this later). The happy hour specials are my fav because some the best apps are on the list with an added daily drink special. My favorite has to be the $5 cocktails on Wednesday's with spicy crab rangoon as an app just have to make sure you are there between 5pm-7pm. This particular time I tried something different from my usual curry laska. I ordered the spicy pho with shrimp and as bad as I feel I think I've found a new "usual" lol. For anyone who loves spice this is the perfect dish for a cold winter night. I wish I knew the recipe so I can make it myself but until that day this business will always get my money. read more

Pretty good asian fusion restaurant. Their pork and ginger dumplings are very delicious. Wings are good. Their ramen is flavorful but doesnt come with a soft boiled egg, rather it's hard boiled. Stir fried noodles are ok. Love the decor and drunks are reasonably priced. Would recommend. read more

I recently visited CO for lunch with my family, and we had a really awesome experience! First off, CO offers selections that everyone can enjoy. My mom and I are vegetarian, my sister is gluten-free, and my dad identifies largely as a carnivore. Additionally, a few people in our group really love sushi while others won't touch it. I shared bits of the the ahi poke, shrimp curry, and a caterpillar sushi roll. The shrimp curry was seriously SO GOOD - how can a Vietnamese/sushi restaurant do curry so well? I don't know, but I actually drank the curry sauce leftover at the bottom of the dish. No shame. My dad enjoyed a curry noodle bowl and my sister indulged in a yummy (gluten-free!) hanoi noodle bowl. My mom also enjoyed a tofu banh mi sandwich, and everyone had a great experience with the range of food. Additional shoutout to the Singapore hot sauce that comes on the table - you are very good. While we enjoyed lunch there, the overall decor and ambience seems well suited for the dinner/late night scene. The restaurant is centered around a beautifully decorated bar, and I can definitely see myself coming here for a cocktail and sushi one night. The service was a little slow, but the food is such high quality that I didn't mind the wait for it. read more

Great food but longer wait. First off, the food is amazing. We had 3 apps and 1 sushi roll. The spring roll was huge and the fish sauce dipping sauce was slightly spicy and tangy. The tiger sushi roll was unbelievable. We got the tofu buns, they were good, but small and probably won't get them next time. That all took about 25-30 mins, not bad and we still had our yellow curry shrimp coming. About 10 mins after we finished, our waiter came over and asked if we wanted anything else. Told him no, just waiting on the shrimp. Twenty minutes later, still no shrimp. Called him back over and he said he would see what was wrong. All and all it took 1.5 hours to get our last plate. When it came out, it was by far the best thing we had all night. Earlier in our meal the manager came to our table to the right and had to apologize for the long wait on 1 of the persons meal and ended up comping their entire meal. After our food finally came out and we finished, the manager came over and comped our shrimp (which was nice, but didn't make up for the extra drinks over the hour when we were waiting). When we were leaving, the manager came to the table to our left and had to cancel their meal b/c they were waiting 45 mins and no food. Needless to say, the manager was running around comping food left and right. Hopefully, they are just working out the kinks as many new restaurants do. If not, they will not stay open long giving out so many free meals. Will def go back, just not for a few months so they can smooth things out. Great atmosphere, great food but 2 hours for 3 apps and a sushi roll is not ideal. read more

This place is new and has some good noodle dishes. It's trendy and a little pricey but it's a good spot for happy hour.

I came here with a couple friends who told me this place was really good. We got seated and were greeted by our kind server(Emily) who took our drink orders. She recommended the Jam Session beer, so I got one, which was a great recommendation! Then she gave us some time to enjoy our drinks before coming back to take our order. I asked what she recommended and she said the Hanoi noodles are her favorite, so I got it. My friends ordered pad Thai because they're basic and know nothing else to order. Emily refills our drinks often and is kind and respectful when asking if we need anything at the moment. Not much time passes before the food arrives and I get to try her recommended Hanoi noodles. She was very right! The noodles were so good, I even crave them now while making this review. Overall I had a great time at CO, the food is great, the atmosphere is fun, and service is top notch thanks to our server, Emily. read more

Happy food--Gyoza Dumplings are deliciousness and leave you wanting a second helping!! Both of us loved the gyoza dumplings more than the kimchi/beef dumplings though they are a close second. We tried a variety of dishes to share -- Sushi favorites --Spider roll & Spicy tuna crunch rolls --both have a savory sauce and nice balance of spicy and sweet in the spider roll. The pork belly buns are heaven in one bite! They have the sweet salty pork, the honeyed dough of the bun and your tastebuds start dancing!! Also, I love the decor and the urban sophisticated vibe of CO. We came for lunch on a week day so there was no wait. I would like to visit again and try the pho next time. The house made hot sauce was super spicy and fantastic! read more

We had lunch at Co and had a very nice experience. We started with the beef and kimchi dumplings which were great and more filling than we had anticipated. We then had the pork belly roll and it was outstanding! The service as very good. Be sure to try the Saigon hot sauce, it is stand out. They do sell it btw. read more

Everything we ate was really good. The service was great and the food came out quickly. We were in and out in 90 minutes.

Great Asian cuisine, curry shrimp and Fiji salmon are our favorites, nice bar, open litchen

Great restaurant with lots of good Vietnamese and sushi food options. A little on the pricey side, but the food is worth it

The service at Co is some of the worst in Charlotte. I have been multiple times and they are always snotty, particularly the hosting staff. Chill. You are in a shopping center next to a hardware store. The food is good but not as special as they think. read more

Mediocre at best. Overpriced dishes that lacks flavor. The milk tea with boba was pretty disappointing. I've had real asian food and this is not it. Great location though and cute atmosphere. Just not my cup of tea. read more

Came here for lunch and enjoyed the bun xao with tofu. Was very tasty though the noodles were a bit clumpy. The atmosphere was fun and the service was good. Also ordered the spicy tuna crunch roll that was excellent - and the ahi poke tuna which was solid. Just wish the noodles were a bit fresher and the tofu was a bit more plentiful on my salad. read more
