I continue to be amazed by how good this place is! It has recently become a go to for us. Located conveniently nearby in the Park Road shopping center. Pro tip: get the sake infusions! Tue and Thursday half off sake carafes. The sake infusions are so good but be warned they are smooth and dangerous. After a couple visits we have tried several and like them all. Think the blackberry may be my fav 1/2 price sushi rolls at happy hour yes- I will order 2 please :) . The rainbow Is always solid and tried the spider which is also good. Maybe the best thing you can order though are the pork belly bun!! Words can't describe so do yourself a favor and order a couple . You will thank me. read more

[Grade: A+] I use to come to CO a lot with friends before the pandemic happened for Happy Hour specials, and honestly I would say it's just as good and maybe even better than I remembered! I came for the Tuesday/Thursday Half off maki rolls special during Happy Hour to get those delicious deals. From the Happy Hour menu, we got the Tuna Tataki, Salmon Carpaccio, and the Yellow Curry Tofu. The Tuna Tataki gave me yummy vibes of a Vietnamese-Japanese fusion as the flavour profile reminded me of Vietnamese Pho. The Salmon Carpaccio was delicious, citrusy, and tasted incredibly fresh and was my favourite dish. The Yellow Curry Tofu surprised me the most however as I was shocked at how fragrant, sweet, and spicy it was akin to a fusion-type thai curry, and I just had to take the leftover curry home to eat with some rice. One thing that disappointed me when I saw the new Happy Hour menu is that the Malaysian wings are no longer offered for $5 as they were incredible. The sushi rolls we got were also incredible as they tasted super fresh and were on par with other great sushi restaurants in Charlotte (but only half the price per roll WOWW). I personally love the Golden roll as I enjoyed the flavour of torched salmon. We also got the Samurai roll, and usually I don't get fried rolls as I sort of have a stigma from when I would go to buffets when I was younger, BUT this time I was pleasantly surprised at how it came out. It was lightly fried and gave it a slight crunch, while not being overwhelming with the fried batter, and the inside being super creamy in texture. It reminded me of eating a really nice cream filled donut in terms of mouth feel, if that makes sense haha. I deffo would get this roll again. Overall, this place has an incredible quality of food, akin to a gourmet restaurant, and continues to surprise me even after coming here for many years. The fish is super fresh, the curry is amazingly spicy, and the sushi just can't be beat, especially during the T/TH special. If only the Malaysian wings were on the Happy Hour menu, but I digress. Other than that, the service was excellent and I will definitely be coming back for more! read more

We had a fantastic meal this evening at CO. Our party of three had a short wait because the after work crowd was in but they soon left and our table opened up. It was much quieter during the dinner hour with a few other open tables while we dined. For starters, we got their chicken wings. Sweet, tangy, sticky, the six wings were a perfect appetizer and divided nicely for the three of us. Yum! Main courses, my wife and I each got a pho with beef. Mine without noodles was delicious and rich broth. Presented nicely with the usual fixings including peppers, cilantro, Thai basil, bean sprouts and both hoisin and sriracha. Plenty of beef in there and my wife's had plenty of noodles. I really enjoyed mine, a good portion. My daughter chose the spicy pho with beef. Not terribly spicy but there was a bit of "go" in there. Delicious and I would probably upgrade to that next time. For dessert, they split the cheesecake rangoon that looked delicious and I skipped as it's not keto-friendly. Presented nicely with candied orange zest and crumbled peanuts. I was regretting my choice just a little. Great service and a fantastic meal. CO is definitely "date-worthy" and it looks like a good spot for the after work but before dinner wind down too. [Review 11831 overall, 1613 of 2019.] read more

Very chic setting with very good Asian fusion food. It radiates hipness with a sculptural ceiling and exposed brick walls. The pan-Asian offerings span Korean, Thai, Japanese and Chinese food favorites. The inside ambience of the space is unexpected from the outside. There's a spectacular modern wood-ribbed ceiling that looks like a very cool modernist mushroom radiating from the bar area. I'm told it used to be a shoe store, but now it has been transformed to a very slick restaurant space with exposed brick. This particular location (part of a small NC and SC chain) is also located in one of the coolest shopping plazas in Charlotte. It's in Park Road Shopping Center, an old-style 1950s shopping center with a covered open walkway facing parking, but renovated to the epitome of 2019 hipster-ness. The food and service were also good. Waitstaff is attentive and funny, and even recommended alternatives ("oh by taking out the pork in that one it will be almost the same as the other steamed bun you're sharing" etc). Food was really terrific: Papaya salad was bright and flavorful. Spicy tuna roll was right on the mark. Vietnamese steamed buns were just the right combination of chewy and crunchy. Summer rolls and spring rolls were exactly perfect. Between three people we had a wide range of shared plates, and I recommend all. The only exception was crab rangoon (more or less cream cheese with crab in a crispy crust) was just way too creamy and rich. They stay open late and seem to attract a young, smartly dressed crowd. We went to a nearby grocery store afterward and realized we had forgotten the credit card. Even though it must have been close to closing time, they were asking if we wanted to be seated (but we just needed the credit card). Great service with a smile and they were very accommodating. read more

I love this place because of all the reasons! Ambiance is spot on, cool decor - indoor and outdoor seating. Variety of seating areas and types, good for dates or groups. Love that they take reservations, but you don't always need one - but it is normally bumping at dinner. Food is so good! I've loved so many things! -PORK & GINGER GYOZA - hard to go wrong with dumplings/potstickers but these were great. 4 in a dish and a light sauce for dipping. -CURRY LAKSA - Soup/noodle dish. The first time I had it was perfect, most recently it was much too spicy! I'd ask if they are able to tone it down (unless you love the super hot curry spice). My lips were burning this last time. Still has amazing flavor and is a huge portion - always at least 2 meals for me! -PORK BELLY BUNS - liked these, got them steamed -GARLIC SESAME TUNA TACOS - great flavors, but really the ingredients are all things I love so I'm kind of biased when restaurants put these things together. Plus they are tacos - so yes, love these. WAGYU Sushi - loved this dish too. Overall, great experience because the flavors are so strong, and if you share a few dishes it's like a party in your mouth. I recommend going in a small group and sharing, or at least with a date that doesn't mind. :) read more

CO - Vietnamese Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

I was visiting friends in Charlotte and had a big craving for Vietnamese food. One of our other fiends really wanted sushi. we jumped on Yelp and found CO. So glad we did because it had all of the food everyone was looking for and everything wes delicious. From the chicken katsu, to the beef pho, and all the sushi. The pho broth was pretty delicious and the noodles did not disappoint. The chicken was perfectly crispy and the sauce brought all the ingredients together without being overpowering. I only tried a bite of my friends sushi, but the rice was great and the fish was awesome. The atmosphere is laid back, but fun and the decor is really warm and inviting. We really loved the centerpiece that extended from the bar out through the ceiling. It was simple, but beautiful. It's also nice that there are decent amount of tables and types of seating, but it doesn't feel overcrowded. We will definitely be stopping by again when we visit. read more

There is no customer service at CO! I tried to give it another shot.. was beyond disappointed. There is no one in charge. I sat at the bar for too long & finally asked the hostess if there was a bartender. Never saw the bartender had to leave. Will never return! read more

Stopped by for a late dinner with the family. Has been on the list but finally made it over. Ambiance is quite nice with a mix of seats for large and small groups and a nice wooden sculpture that really gives the place something. We were seated quickly and food orders were gotten but service was a little spotty. We didn't get pictures of the gyoza but those were probably my favorite along with the ramen. Kids seemed to like the desserts. I didn't even get a taste. It's worth coming back. read more

CO - Pad Thai** - Vietnamese Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

We visited Co just the other day since my daughter loves sushi so much. I've had this on my list to try forever, and we finally found ourselves in Charlotte at dinner time! Unfortunately, we were pretty underwhelmed by the food. Co is a pretty hip place that's beautiful inside. My favorite design feature is the beautifully curved wooden beams emanating from the ceiling. Really dramatic and special! They also offer outdoor seating. There are tons of high-top tables with stools but we were lucky to score a normal height table with chairs. I hate stools that don't have a place for your feet to prop on, so uncomfortable. Co was voted as the #1 place to possibly spot a Panther. I don't know about that, but I do know the place was popping. That indicates that they do have a great business and perhaps we just visited on an off night. The service was great, though, even with the few hiccups we experienced. The great thing about Co is that they have all of these great specials during happy hour during the week. That kind of explained why they were so slammed. There are about 15 things on the happy hour menu that are offered at a discount, and some 1/2 price. We were able to try quite a few things this way. We tried the Pork Belly Bun and the Spicy Crab Rangoon. Both were really delicious and we should've stuck with the happy hour menu. The Pork Belly Bun was the best I've had, with the pork belly being so crispy and flavorful. The crab rangoon was great too, creamy and spicy. For our mains, we had sushi and Bahn mi. The sushi roll was great, but the Bahn mi was lacking. The katsu chicken bahn mi was great, but the Korean Short Rib was so salty I couldn't eat it. And I love salt, so that is really saying something. For dessert, we ordered Strawberry Spring Rolls and Crispy Cheesecake Wontons. The kids loved them both. I thought they were lacking real flavor. The Strawberry Spring Rolls did not have a strawberry flavor at all, but the Nutella dipping sauce was delicious. The Crispy Cheesecake Wontons had a strong orange flavor that the kids didn't enjoy, but I did. The creme Anglaise they say comes with it tastes suspiciously like vanilla pudding. I didn't like that. Another knock is that 2 of the wontons were actually filled with MEAT instead of cheesecake..an honest mistake because they did look similar, but imagine dragging that through the Nutella and creme Anglaise and then popping it into your mouth. Needless to say, we were done after that. We left feeling unsatisfied and disappointed. I think this place has some definite good points and judging by other reviews, perhaps others have great experiences. I, however, did not on this visit. I would give it another try if I'm ever in the area to see if that was a one-off experience. read more

The name doesn't give this spot justice. Co is a great restaurant with a full Vietnamese menu. The ambiance is excellent with a major focal point to the bar. I decided to get a Old Fashion and on Wednesday's they off $5 speciality cocktails. The spicy pho is exactly what the doctor ordered on a cold fall night. They offer happy hour from 4-7 during the week. If you're looking for a delicious Pho with the perfect kick please stop into Co. You can thank me later. read more

Located in a strip mall. Plenty of parking I had a mango type sushi don't remember the name and Thai chicken. The sushi was pretty good tasted fresh. But that's where the good stuff needs. The Thai chicken was a very small portion size. It came with what I thought was a salad with no salad dressing but ended up just being 1/3 of my Plate in garnish. Basic rice. The worst part was the chicken. It didn't taste like chicken or cat!!! It tasted extremely weird and chewy and like cardboard. I can't even put it in to words. The amount of disappointment for this dish. I left it on the table. Jo doggy bag for me. I have the lavender old fashioned. All you tasted was the lavender sweetener and no alcohol so that's a waste of money. The interior has a nice cool laid back vibe. Staff was kinda new at least my waitress was. But I won't be back to this place. I did notice some other places in the area as I walked to my car that I will try next time. The higher prices does Not match the quality of the food received. Business do better please. Change where your meat vendor this was horrific read more

This is a hidden gem like many of the spots along the park road corridor. I decided to stop in and give it a try. Very nice modern and clean ambiance. Service was great. No wait time for lunch on a Saturday. The menu has many options and they have the vegetarian options specifically marked on the menu. I enjoyed it so much because of the vegetarian sushi options that where robust with flavor and ingredients and were more than the average cucumber and avocado. Highly recommend the Buddha roll. Also tried the ginger martini and they seem to use really fresh ingredients for their drinks so it was refreshing and provided for the perfect photo opp. I'll try a tequila option the next time. Great for a casual day outing or a nice light dinner date. I'll become a regular. read more

Okay so first tips & tricks...go on Monday or Wednesday for $5 martinis (Monday) and $5 cocktails (Wednesday). All day! Yummmm. Cant beat that price! I tried the Lychee martini and it was good! Also tried the dark n' peach cocktail which is whiskey based and also really good! The inside of this place looks super cool, with a big wooden tree in the middle that goes across the ceiling. Looks and feels clean. Friendly and knowledgeable staff! Food wise their pho to my surprise was pleasantly good, I usually only get ramen from futa buta. Sushi was alright, think I'd pick a different roll next time and sadly I don't recall the name of the one we tried. Appetizer the spicy crab rangoon and spring rolls are bomb. Go between 4-7pm any Monday-Friday and they have happy hour prices on apps. I also love that they have pad Thai on the kids menu for $6-7 dollars and it's a huge portion. My son loves coming here too! We will be back. read more

CO - Mango Summer Rolls** - Vietnamese Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Full disclaimer: I've only been here once and sampled the chicken pho and pad tai. I like to give places more of a chance but I'm not a local so this is it. With that being said, I'm torn. Disappointing, I know. I wanted to love this place. I really did. The ambience, the upscale vibe, the mostly-full tables. But the pho was underwhelming. When you take a sip of a good pho, you are transported to a warm, cozy place in another dimension. Not really, but it's a heavenly and tasty experience. When I sipped CO's I tasted...pepper. Even when I threw in extra cilantro--still pepper. What a bummer. Oh, and my sprouts were wilted and browned. Bigger bummer as far as points for quality. Pad Thai was on the sweet side but overall tasty and well-cooked. Def not worth the price though. Same can obv be said about the pho. read more

Asian food is practically my life so of course I was excited to come here while I was visiting a friend in Charlotte. After a full day of brewery hopping the day before, the only thing I had on my mind was a big bowl of noodle soup. Atmosphere: super trendy and hip on the inside. With this massive beautiful piece of wood architecture that starts at the bar and makes its way up across the ceiling. It almost looks like a giant tree trunk with its branches covering the whole top. The seats are comfortable, the kitchen is open in the back so you can see what's going on and the bar looks really nice. I would say this is good date material. Service: 4/5 customer service was great. They offered suggestions, refilled my water, and were very nice. Price: 3.5/5 the prices here are a bit higher than other places with Asian fusion food. But because they do offer a variety of items and because the restaurant does look and feel a lot nicer than a hole in the wall type of place I guess I can understand. Their appetizers are $8 and under, dishes can go up to $18. Food: - 4/5 kimchi dumplings: this was sooo good. It was $6 for 4 dumplings which I think is kinda overpriced. But the taste was definitely there. The filling was moist but it was the dumpling sauce that it was in that was the real winner. I could drink that stuff. It was soy sauce based but a bit sweet and acidic that balanced well with everything else. - 3/5 spicy pho: let's be real. This was basically a bun bo hue but not as good. And I LOVE bun bo hue. The rare beef slices were super thick which is not something I'm used to in my Viet soups (they're usually thinner so they cook quickly in the hot broth when mixed). The soup was super oily and a bit sweet which was a bit weird. The noodles were good but everything else was just okay. Nothing special. I honestly wouldn't get this again. I do hear great things about the drunken noodle and pad Thai. So if I were ever to be back, I would probably try those! read more

We love CO in Waverly and this location did not disappoint. The decor was really nice - I loved the ceiling art. Our server Drea was fantastic - attentive, helpful, and on top of things. Our food was amazing - we all ordered sushi. We also had the dumpling appetizer which was outstanding. For the sushi, we tried the Spicy Tuna Crunch, Tuna Tataki, Thai salmon, Pork belly (soooo good and spicy!), and the bang bang shrimp. I normally go for a mix of sushi and Pad Thai at CO, but we were headed to a concert and didn't want to feel too stuffed! Everyone has a fantastic experience. We can't wait to come back. Next time I'll post pictures of the food, but I've never been that patient when a plate of sushi is in front of me to take time to snap a picture . Highly recommend. read more

The food was delicious but the best part was our waiter Justin. The restaurant was busy and he kept things moving and the table smiling.

What more can I say about CO, we love this place when we may want Sushi and maybe not and have a noodle bowl, Pho or one of the many other choices. The food has always been good but the only reason for the 4 stars is of course service this place changes staff more often than I change my under garments. (I know what your thinking, Yes everyday! lol) It is cleaning, the hostess staff has been pretty regular but they are not the friendliest or welcoming or inviting, but ignore them and sit for a pleasant dining experience. I really like Saki, they always have a good wine for the wife. If I recall correctly the the grade was in the mid to high 90's. Give it a try it wont set your life on fire but it is good food with okay service that will pleasant please you. read more

Walking in this place was SUPER cute and adorable!! The environment was very upscale! Greeted and seated with the quickness. A friend a I came on a Monday evening for dinner. Wasn't super busy but the food took a good while to come out. The server apologized repeatedly for the kitchen hold up. It wasn't her fault. Out food did get mixed up with another table, and they ended up getting their food before us even though we had gotten there way earlier. Again, she apologized and the manager took care of us without us complaining. Very nice of them. I ordered the five spice shredded pork tacos for appetizers, which were absolutely amazing!! The flavor was perfect in every way. The hot sauce they bring out to the table was also the best I've had at a "Vietnamese" Asian cuisine! The spicy pho was wonderful. I ordered the rare beef and meatballs and I could literally drink the soup all day. Other than the extended wait on our food, everything else was great! Our server was so helpful! read more

Pretty cool looking space, from the outside I wasn't expecting much. They did well with the seating, I had assumed there would be a wait on a crowded Thursday, but we were seated right away. As others have said, service was a little slow, but not as bad as others have said. We ordered a bit of food, so that kept us occupied. My friend enjoyed his pad Thai, and I enjoyed the rolls I ordered. The only one I wouldn't get again was the bang bang shrimp. There wasn't anything wrong with it, especially if you like California roll style sushi. I don't, but I enjoyed it as a once and done.

We were looking for a gluten free options close by. The indoor seating was the only option on this Saturday afternoon. The tables are roped off so there is space between each. The servers all have masks on. You have to wear a mask to enter. We didn't have to wait at all and there were 3 of us. We ordered a few different options. I ordered the ahi poke stack, crab Rangoon, and dynamite shrimp roll. I was a huge fan of each. Very fresh ingredients and very fast service. I would order each again next time I go. My boyfriend has celiacs so we are always needing a place that serves gluten feee options. My boyfriend ordered the chicken Curry Laksa and the spring roll. The Curry Laksa was flavorful and a big portion! The spring roll wasn't my boyfriend's favorite at all. He didn't even finish them. The menu has plenty of options for everyone. We felt safe and were full. We will definitely come back read more

I had been wanting to try this place since it opened but hadn't gotten around to it. I had heard mixed reviews, but it still looked good. I was excited when it got picked for a team lunch. We were seated right away with a large group and no reservations. Unfortunately they were out of several tea options that one of my co-workers tried to order. The menu is huge. Trying to decide what to order was so hard because everything looked good. I ended up getting way too much food because I was bad at deciding what I wanted. Luckily I got help eating some of it. I started with mango summer rolls. They were very refreshing and delicious. They came with a fairly big portion too. For my main course, I got three Curry Laska and the Firecracker roll. The Firecracker roll was really good. The Curry Laksa was amazing. It's one of my favorite dishes I've had at a restaurant in Charlotte. It's a huge portion and has a good heat to it. For dessert I got tempura bananas which were amazing as well. I tired some of my co-workers Drunken Noodles and Wonton Cheesecake both of which were very good. Everyone really liked what they got. CO is now one of my favorite restaurants in Charlotte. I highly recommend checking it out if you haven't already! read more

CO - Fiji Salmon roll - Vietnamese Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

We went here for the first time yesterday as the brunch spot on the plaza had a long wait. The atmosphere is nice and the servers are really attentive. However, I am taking off stars for food. The pork belly buns were good but could have used more hoisin. They were probably my favorite out of all we ordered. My spicy udon noodles did have good flavor but the steak was over cooked and for the price I expected more noodles. My fiancé got the Vietnamese ramen. We both thought it was okay but lacked a "punch" even with the spice bomb that you can request. Also, too much noodles and the eggs tasted odd. I am not sure if we would come back (we've had better at other places serving similar food in Charlotte) but if we did I would probably try sushi next time. That seem to be what a lot of people ordered around us. read more
