    Orange Flavored Chicken  with Egg Roll and White Rice
    Jenita M.

    This is a decent spot for Chinese. I first tried the orange chicken. It wasn't too bad. I didn't care of the finger-nail sized orange peels throughout the meal. I picked them out. That next weekend I got combination plates especially since they ran $10 each. I was hoping portions weren't small and they were not. So I got the garlic shrimp and Szechuan chicken in both spicy. Neither were spicy. The sauce was light tasting. For the value it was nice but not much taste. They seem to sell quite a bit even pad Thai and now hibachi. I don't see any reviews on Hibachi yet but hoping it'll be better than what I've had this far because I can't find good hibachi I'm Charlotte. You can order online but double check at times because the system may be down. Plus the hours split between lunch apart dinner.

    Szechuan wonton appetizer with spicy peanut satay, $7.95
    Peter M.

    Comfortable and casual place to find Chinese-American fare with all the usual suspects. Mitch K recommended the Szechuan wonton appetizer at $7.95. Gently steamed and covered in a peanut satay sauce with chilli oil makes a wonderful start to your meal. Good call Mitch! The food was prepared excellently, well seasoned, and served piping hot. The hot mustard on the side will smoke your sinuses. I loved it. I put them right there with Boading and Lam's. Should they have offered more regional Szechuan dishes (e.g. Taste of Shu and Lam's) then I'd give the extra star. Excellent food, though. Overlook the low-star reviews from the Yelp haters and you'll discover a great little place to dine. Has my wok smokin' hot on my "Give 'em a whirl" meter. Xie Xie.

    Chicken & Broccoli
    Vince M.

    Today's lunch was my first visit here and I discovered that, other than a rather dark dining room, there's a lot to like about it. They offer the usual lunch menu choices ranging from $8 to $10. I went with the chicken and broccoli, and especially appreciated the fact that whole grain brown rice and crab rangoons were available options as sides in addition to the typical spring rolls and egg rolls. Everything arrived quickly, was piping hot and was delicious. Service was friendly and attentive, and although I don't normally prefer a dimly lit dining area for lunch, I did find it very comfortable and tastefully decorated. I especially enjoyed the soft yoga-like music that helped make my lunch very peaceful. They do need to improve their 93.5 sanitation score though, and as long as such a low score does not become a trend, I can see myself becoming a regular here.

    Singapore Noodles here are excellent.

    Quick service and the food is always hot and fresh! They have a wide range of all day meal specials which are a great value.

    Surprised by the quality and service. All 5/5. Well run and attentive staff. No corners cut on the food or portions. Great Wall is in my rear view now after 35 years of patronage. This is my new spot.

    Orange chicken, General TSO chicken
    Brittney W.

    Fast and friendly service. Take out and dine in available. Orange chicken is spicy . One of the best General Tso chicken we have had. Will go back and try the other dishes.

I was in one of those "I need noodles immediately" moods, and Sun's Kitchen did not disappoint. I called my order in for takeout, and everything was packed perfectly. No leaks, no mess, still hot when I got home, and the portion was surprisingly generous for the price. The dan dan noodles here are rich, savory, a little spicy, and incredibly comforting. If you're not familiar with them, dan dan noodles are a classic Sichuan street food dish from Chengdu traditionally tossed in a spicy, numbing ma-la sauce with pork, scallions, and pickled vegetables. Sun's Kitchen does a really delicious version that's flavorful without feeling too heavy. The noodles have that perfect chewy texture, and every bite has just enough heat to keep you going back for more. If you're someone who's curious about ethnic food but maybe unsure where to start, this is honestly a great entry-level dish. Yes, there's a little spice, but it's approachable and balanced. The dining room itself is modern and beautiful, and now that they serve beer and wine, I definitely need to come back and enjoy a full dine-in experience instead of rushing home with takeout. The only caveat is the parking lot can get a little chaotic since it's shared with neighboring businesses, especially during busy hours. But trust me, it's worth circling for a spot. Charlotte, there's a big wide world of food out there, and places like Sun's Kitchen make exploring it easy and delicious. Get out there and eat your way through it.

Whenever I am up in Charlotte, I look forward to my meal here. I love going early on weekends (avoid the crowd and wait time) when they have cart service. So much to choose from.

Unfortunately, the execution didn't quite live up to expectations. Many of the hot items coming around on the carts--especially the dumplings and rice noodle dishes--were noticeably cold by the time they reached the table. Service also seemed strained; the restaurant appeared short-staffed, which made it difficult to get attention or request specific items. The portions felt small for the price point, and overall it didn't feel like a great value for the money. Despite that, the restaurant is absolutely packed every weekend, so clearly it has a loyal following. Having experienced incredible dim sum in places like Sugar Land, Texas, and especially throughout the San Francisco Bay Area, it's hard not to compare. Those spots set a very high bar, and unfortunately Open Rice Metropolitan doesn't quite measure up.

It is busy enough that plenty of other people had also called in for takeout. The price was higher than I thought it would be by a significant margin; I thought something was off but then rechecking their menu I saw it was indeed $20 for a vegetable entree. On the upside, they did offer brown rice at no extra charge. Still, I'll get three meals out of it and as someone who eats a lot of takeout, this was not a great value. In terms of quality, I was thrilled to find that they offered a stir-fried okra dish. This is a ubiquitous Indian dish, and of course okra is common throughout the tropics globally, but I'd never seen this offered at a Chinese restaurant before. And the rapid cooking technique typical of the cuisine produced a delightfully crisp vegetable, which went great with a black bean sauce and some very hot dried chilis. On the other hand, their interpretation of ma po tofu had some fermented broad beans but minimal vegetables (sometimes you get mushrooms or peas or at least some leeks or something) and no numbing sensation. They had a bean curd roll dish that I enjoyed, and some quality dumplings. Overall, not huge portions and a mix of okay to great quality.

    The fried rice and stir-fried okra together are amazing. Food is always good!…read more The ambiance is outdated but the service is exceptional.
