I had the lavender lemonade cocktail with Ketel One, and it was AMAZING. Refreshing, flavorful and not overly sweet. I also tried the chicken lollipops and deviled eggs, and both were delicious. The wings were crispy, saucy and packed with flavor, and the deviled eggs were really good too. Nothing was bland! The service was just as good as the food. I wish I could remember the names of the gentleman and young lady who took care of me because they were both so helpful, attentive and welcoming. The ambiance is cute and relaxed -- definitely a place where you can sit, have a good cocktail, eat some good food and enjoy yourself. I will absolutely be back because there are several other things on the menu I want to try.

Everything was piping hot, incredibly fresh, and seasoned to perfection--you can tell there's a real passion in that kitchen. Plus, our takeout order was ready in 12 minutes, which made picking up dinner a breeze, and our server was an absolute lovely gem. She was nice enough to bring our food to the car! Her chill, friendly demeanor added to the positive vibe. While I can't speak to the drinks or restrooms, I can wholeheartedly recommend the wings, moist seasoned turkey burgers, and vibez fries (yes sir). These fries are battered and so crispy. They are a standout in a sea of fries. As a note... Vibez is equal opportunity delicious too. They have a fair amount of veggie options too. Who owns/runs this place? Because they are doing good work in this unassuming corner of Kannapolis, NC. The food was exceptionally delicious!

Overall, I really enjoyed everything and I'd go back here in real life or order them again.

Omg ...Amazing Chinese American food.. Living in Kanapolis since summer 2018 my love for Chinese food is unreal .. One location near food lion oak Ave ..very bland tasteless ..another Chinese restaurant near Kanapolis walmart..super rude , not clean..served me frozen spareribs..I gave up,I'd only eat Chinese if I had errands to run in Charlotte. Afternoon farmers market shopping I spotted this place my my my .. fried rice that's actually fried ..white rice with veggies, eggs plus soy sauce .Neat clean, friendly staff , hand rolled egg rolls and most importantly I asked the cashier for recommendations.(the trifold hard cover menu..you can dine in) she suggested the scallion chicken..Never had nor heard of it ..The chicken dish resembles general Tso however the sauce is brown..sweet yet spicy. I have nothing against the hood Chinese spots however this ain't that .. no wings and fries combo here ..wings yes..You know it's official when beef chow fun is available Vs bs spaghetti noodles drowned in sauce being called lo mein.

It's been a few years since we ate there and it was always, always been very good in the past.

I can say with all honesty it was made fresh. We sat in the "dining room" waiting for it to be made and it took us about 10 mins. to get home and it was HOT! The soup was the best. It had flavor. Egg rolls were next. They were also good. Mostly vegetables. The entree we shared was Sesame Chicken. It was enough for us to share, but it lacked flavor. It wasn't bad, just wasn't flavorful.

It all started with missing white rice…read more I had been working all day and hadn't consumed Chinese food in about a year. I love Chinese food but I have been paying off debt like Al Capone wanted his loan-shark money back, which led to me going from 27.3k to currently 1.8k on my Discover within a year. This background is to let you know why I haven't been eating a lot of Chinese food. It has nothing to do with sodium. But this is about wonton soup, sesame chicken, lo mein, white rice, and a drunk guy (not me). All of the food items listed above were solid. And they are always solid across the board. I wouldn't put this restaurant as #1 for any of those individual items in Lake Norman but I do put them #1 for all food as a whole. In other words, Jin Jin has the best wonton soup but you only get four wontons and they aren't as good at other stuff, and it just doesn't seem as clean--Huang's Chef is impeccably clean. Huang's China Bistro in Cornelius has the best sesame chicken but their lo mein and wonton soup aren't quite as good (still very good though). Lotus on River Hwy (Rt 150) has the best lo mein but not quite as good on the other stuff (but still very good). Huang's Chef (Mooresville) is a solid 9.0 across the board so it's where I order most. But the time prior to this one, I drove all the way to Huntersville and they forgot my white rice. This isn't a major issue but it kind of does ruin the experience after spending $30 for one person on dinner. Fortunately, they gave me a free pint of wonton soup the next time I went in. I was so excited to eat their food again that I ordered when driving by and had to wait. While outside and thinking I was alone on the strip-mall sidewalk, I practiced pronouncing "Huang's Chef." In order to do it, you need to inhale 5% on the "Huah" sound and exhale 95% on the "Wang" sound. I was getting good at it and repeating, "Huah-Wang's Chef ... Huah-Wang's Chef" while pacing, but a dude from from Marty's Bar popped out to smoke a cigarette and looked at me funny. "Just practicing," I said while nodding to indicate all was normal. "For what?" he laughed. I could tell he was one of those friendly drunk guys. "Huah-Wang's Chef." He walked over to cut the distance between us in half and laughed while taking a drag of his cigarette. Tall and skinny guy mid-60s with scruff and loose clothes that fit his personality. "Huah-Wong's Chef," he said. "No," I corrected. "It's Wang." "No it ain't," he cackled. "It's Wong." "That would be the Cantonese version. That's not correct." "I don't eat cantaloupes." He just started cracked up at his own joke, which wasn't funny, but then funny because of how much he enjoyed it. Then he continued, "What if we just put it together and start our own Chinese restaurant called Wang-Wong!" Bar guys always talk about things like this but know they will never follow through, and I didn't want to start a Wang-Wong Chinese restaurant with a scruffy-looking drunk guy. I had the perfect out anyway because Huang's Chef told me 15 minutes and it was about that time. "Good to meet you, but I have to go get my food now at Huah-WANG'S Chef." "Wong!" he cackled again as I walked away. Anyway, I definitely recommend Huang's Chef. It's a good price with solid portions and quality taste across the board. The restaurant itself is one of the cleanest Chinese restaurants I have ever seen, which is always a good sign. Definitely recommended.
