Excellent food! The Chinese eggplant with garlic sauce is delicious, as was everything else we tried. We came here 3 days in a row while in the area, we couldn't get enough. read more

Such a nice and cozy spot to dine. Unfortunately, I had a migraine, so I grabbed my food to go. Although I did not dine in, the young ladies at the register were kind and enthusiastic. Flame is Asian fusion with a combination of Chinese, Thai, Korean, and Japanese, so DEFINITELY a place you should check out. I had the sesame chicken which comes with jasmine rice and chicken egg rolls. The sesame chicken was sweet with a bit of crunch to the chicken, which I liked, but there was something else I detected, I just cannot place my finger on it. Not a bad thing, it just gave the entree a little razzle dazzle. The egg rolls were nice flaky and light, filled with the standard cabbage, carrots, and chicken. All in all, the food was great. So, if you are in the area and want Asian food, give Flame a try. I intend to return and dine in the next time I am in the area! read more

Went for lunch today (11/29) and the food was overall pretty solid, but the service definitely needed support. There was only one server working the entire dining area, and it was obvious she was overwhelmed. A man behind the bar stood watching but only stepped in once to help while we were there. I found it baffling that he didn't help more. I get wanting the primary server to keep the tips, but it shouldn't come at the expense of basic customer service. We wanted to ask for chopsticks after our food was served, but our server didn't return to check on us until we were nearly done eating. When we asked for to-go containers, it took another 15-20 minutes because she was so slammed. Food rundown: Crispy duck (half): 3/5 Skin was pretty crispy, but a lot of pieces had thick layers of fat that should've been rendered out better. Open Rice's crispy duck is significantly better. Beef chow fun: 4/5 A bit underseasoned, but the beef was tender and the noodles were cooked well. Could have been more generous with the bean sprouts and scallions. Beef fried rice: 4/5 The beef pieces were a little too large for fried rice, but tender. Odd that pork isn't offered as a protein option here, which is what we usually get. Offering char siu pork would be a major plus on the menu. Sesame chicken: 4/5 The steamed broccoli was cold for some reason, but the chicken itself was tasty. Overall, the food is decent and we'd consider returning if we lived closer. read more

Checked out this new restaurant for lunch today...and it was stellar! The place itself is very sleek...minimalist in design. I'd say the ambiance is cool, yet inviting. They did play overhead music, which helped to warm up the place as well. Service was top notch. My waitress was on top of things...and stayed very attentive throughout. There was even a host that greeted you cheerfully when you entered the place. This is something that's becoming much less common nowadays. I've almost gotten used to getting these blank, dead-pan stares when I enter restaurants. I tried the Flame Special Stir Fry Lo Mein, and it was possibly the best Lo Mein I've had? So much flavor...and they were super generous with the varieties of jumbo shrimp, beef and chicken. So plentiful, I couldn't even finish. Also tried their appetizer Golden Crab & Brie Wonton Crisps...which basically looked and tasted like Crab Rangoon. I liked them, but didn't think they were anything too special. I'll probably try another app next time. Still, the presentation for the foods ordered were great. Overall, I was impressed with this Chinese fusion restaurant. Thought it was on par with Open Rice, another upscaled Chinese fusion place that I love. I loved the convenient location as well. I can't wait to return and try other items from their menu! read more

Great vibe - wonderful new place that was not designed with females in mind. I say that because the chairs don't have a spot to put your purse and there are no hooks under the table. This results when the tables are full having it on the lap, on the leg or just figuring it out like the floor and being uncomfortable. Don't let the bao buns fool you. They are a meal unto themselves. The server described as 2 biters - it was 4 or 5 for me. Shrimp was fried a delicious golden brown, mayo was on point not too much, not too little, and other accoutrements overall complemented. The crab fried rice - the bowl itself was hot and I couldn't understand why the rice itself wasn't. It was tasty nonetheless w/bites of shrimp or crab in every bite. Overall, this is a fantastic new addition to the S. Charlotte dining scene. read more

The updated menu is great, it is closer to more Cantonese style food instead of fusion. All the dishes are delicious. The service still great and the restaurant is still nice and pretty. Will have to come back to try their Dim Sum. read more

The food was great but the service wasn't. They only had one waiter working on a Thursday night. It ended up that I had to look for silverware and other needs for our guests. read more

Been here twice and I'm a fan! The lettuce wraps and squid appetizer were so flavorful, Nothing like I have tasted before. The Mongolian trio has plenty of plump shrimp, chicken, and beef. The Singapore noodles were one of the best we have had. The atmosphere is warm with stylish décor, and not too loud making it a great place to have a date night or catch up with friends. The cocktails were also on point! Prices are fair for the quality and portions. Will be coming back! read more

This place was a nice surprise. The restaurant is nicely decorated and very, very clean inside. They have flowers on the tables too. The service was very good - I asked for some recommendations and went with several of our server's suggestions. We started with chicken gyoza and the crabmeat wontons (basically rangoons). The gyoza was connected by a lacy fried top which was really interesting. We had the Cantonese Beef Chow Fun and the Singapore Curry Chicken. The curry was awesome - but the beef dish was a little bland. Overall, I'm giving it 5 stars because it was a good experience with very good pricing. read more

Tucked in the McIntyre Commons plaza in Pineville, right near the Amazon warehouse. It's a modern Asian-fusion spot with a wide-ranging menu that leans American-Chinese but blends Korean, Thai, and Japanese influences too. Inside, the space is clean and simple, some might say too simple. There's not a single piece of art on the walls, which makes the space feel a bit empty and doesn't help the acoustics. That said, the chairs are comfy, the bar is fully stocked, and yes, they serve Cheerwine. Our server Sylbi was warm and attentive. She explained that the concept is fusion-focused, not traditional. You'll find dishes like Shanghai-Style Beef Borscht and Cheese-Baked Filet Mignon alongside familiar favorites. Here's what we tried: * Chicken Gyoza: Served under a crispy, lacy cracker-like pancake that added a satisfying crunch. Not overly doughy like some spots in town. * Crab & Brie Wontons: Crispy on the outside, stuffed full inside. Tastes like a classic crab rangoon. The brie was hard to pick out, but the filling was clearly house-made. * Chicken Egg Roll: Packed tightly and not overloaded with cabbage. One of the better versions I've had locally. * General Tso's Chicken: I asked for no spice and still got a mild kick, but it was tolerable. The chicken was crispy, flavorful, and came with a side of steamed white rice. The plating wasn't anything flashy, but everything tasted fresh and light, not greasy or overly salty. Prices were fair, especially considering the portion sizes and variety. This isn't an authentic Chinese restaurant, and it doesn't try to be. It's casual, Americanized Asian-fusion done with care. If you're nearby, it's worth checking out. read more

Very good Chinese food! It's very nice inside for being in a strip mall type building. Service was prompt and the server was well versed in the menu. We ordered the crab Rangoon, general tso chicken and beef chow fun. Everything was hot, fresh and above all, not greasy! My only small gripe is that a simple vodka soda was $12 but that is not uncommon in this economy. We will be back to try more adventurous dishes. read more

I hope this new restaurant gets the support that it deserves because it is really good! I came for dinner with three of my friends and everyone liked what they ordered. I had the Singapore Curry Chicken. I liked the flavor very much but wished it was a bit spicier. I asked for a medium spice but it was very mild. But now I know for next time. So make sure you tell them if you are a spicy person. Service was really good and the owner was very nice and was asking everyone for feedback on the menu. read more

We went here for a birthday lunch and glad we did! We ordered Singapore laksa, Singapore curry vermicelli, beef chow fun, orange chicken, Sichuan twice-cooked pork belly, and walnut shrimp. They were all so delicious that everyone cleaned their plates! There's so much to choose from their extensive menu that you can't go wrong with what you choose. I can't wait to go back and try the other dishes that the others ordered. The inside is very roomy and nicely spaced out between tables. Our server was very attentive and she even gave the birthday person a complimentary cheesecake. Check this place out and find out what you've been missing. Your taste buds will thank you for it! read more

I had been craving tGeneral Tso's and it was yummy!! Put this Asian Fusion restaurant on the top of your list to visit! read more

This new place is spot on! Everything exceeded our expectations!! The three things I look for are service, food and atmosphere. All were incredible. Our server, lailah, was professional, attentive, informative and very nice! Our food was excellent and the ambiance was inviting and relaxing. We had the crab/brie wontons, fried rice with chicken, Thai Basil Eggplant and the Ribeye Teppan. All prepared to perfection. read more

Lovely decor. We tried their Dim Sum menu and were disappointed. My wife said it best; "we can buy all this stuff at the International Market". The Spare Ribs were mostly fat. The pork pan-fried Potstickers were tough. After sitting down the server proceed to tell us which dim-sum items were unavailable.( 6) I asked for Diet Coke & got Pepsi:( We did see some non-Dim Sum dishes come out that may warrant a return visit. $$$ read more

Flame was absolutely amazing. The drinks were great and the food menu had plenty of good options. The portions are also pretty large, I hope that doesn't change. The customer service was wonderful and the manager went above and beyond. Hopefully over time their reservation system gets a little better because the way was a little long but other than that great experience. read more

First I would like to say that The Flame is a beautiful and long anticipated venue. Next David was our server and he was top notch- friendly and on the job. Next we started out with some appetizers and drinks - David wasnt too sure about the alcohol because the Bartender had not showed up. We finally got some Sake and a couple of beers for the men. Then some appetizers, The PineNuts Chicken Hash, and the Gyosa Chicken Pot stickers. Both Good! We ordered the Shishito Pepper Beef, The Beef was good but the Peppers were very raw and uncooked. The Thai Fried Rice was too fishy to eat, we sent it back The Chicken Curry Was just okay. Veggies were also very raw. We had two orders of the General Tso's Chicken which was Pretty Good.... Not too spicy but flavorful. The Chicken LoMein was probably the best item we had. I think it is worth another try when they get the new things ironed out. But it was pretty expensive for amount of food received. Also the kids meals without drinks were 12.99 - that is pretty high. Go and see what you think. They were very attentive but need some new opening problems to be ironed out. read more

food was so low quality.. went there thinking i was getting something really good since the place looks nice but instead it was just plain bland food, servers were horrible as well. maybe this was only my experience but i wouldn't go back. server kept asking me why i wouldn't tip after i received the worst attitude from them and they cursed at me. establishment hires anybody!! close back down and reopen and try this again! i'm not sure if i received this treatment because of my skin color or because these people are just heartless. please do your research before going there!! read more
