    Sushi Menu
    Ashleigh B.

    We went on a Friday night and were surprised at how crowded it was. We were told it'd be about a 40 minute wait but it was actually much shorter. The place is pretty small and honestly I thought the menu was as well. I really wanted ramen and haven't found a place that I'm truly impressed with. I was disappointed in the lack of chicken options. We started with the Birkdale roll and both got the chicken ramen. The staff was friendly and even made my daughter kids chopstick.

    I chose this place due to the high Yelp reviews. Maybe I ordered the wrong thing ? I was not impressed. I got the Hong Kong Noodles with thin noodles and additional veggies ($13.50). It came with pork, chicken, and shrimp in a broth but it was absolutely flavorless. I took about 5 bites/ sips of the soup and asked for a to go container so that I could take it home and fix it. I added hoisin sauce, chili paste, coconut milk, and curry when I got home and it was much better. I also ordered shrimp tempura sushi ($6) and it was fine. The restaurant entrance is cute and the decor inside is interesting with anime posters. The seating is those cheap, hard, metal chairs... so not very comfortable. I came for lunch and every table was full of mostly young people in their 20s. I wouldn't hurry back. But perhaps a different soup would have more flavor. No outdoor seating. Limited street parking nearby.

    The food and the service were amazing. Every dish we had was hot savory and flavorful. King was our server. He was great and explained what we were wanting to eat. I highly recommend this place in the area

    Pork Belly
    Nanci P.

    I ordered the Summer Roll with grilled pork, Pork Belly and the Chinese BBQ wings. The Summer Roll had absolutely no flavor. The Pork Belly was like eating an over cooked pork chop-honestly the worst I ever had. The only savory item was the Chinese BBQ wings. I am shocked that they have such great reviews. Maybe a bad cook night. I will not be back as I have had fabulous pork belly and summer rolls elsewhere.

    I really enjoy this place. They have an extensive menu and have large portions with their food.

    Food was excellent. No complaints. My Tom Yum was spicy and lemony ( lemon grass similarity), portions huge. Curry kick was creamy and flavorful. Spicy wonton in a slightly sweet sauce excellent, hand roll lots of tuna. But not very spicy. Mango bubble tea light , refreshing and good value for the money. Service was excellent. Very patient and explained our questions and gave suggestions. Jewel ia was our server. Very hospitable Ambiance was ok ( that's why the four stars). Wood benches , really? Hard. BYOP ( bring your own pillow , my wife's suggestion!). Would we come again? Yes

    Singapore boodles, Rainbow Bomb, 1000 likes roll, Double Dragon (middle )

    Food was really good! Spicy wontons for appetizers were amazing, Singapore noodles were really good- maybe needed a little more curry but still really tasty Sushi was really fresh! The rainbow bomb was amazing! Service was great too, our waiter gave us really good recommendations and took care of us Only reason why I'm leaving 4 stars instead of 5 is because I wish they had more fresh roll varieties (not fried) and also the wait for our table was really long, they have more room for tables but are not using their space well, also vibe / atmosphere could use a little work. They don't sit customers at the bar and they just use it to put take out orders

    late afternoon and utterly unenthused about the evening ahead and my impending decrepitude... on the other hand my dining companion is super cute and seems open to suggestions... like going for a stroll around the green while we wait up to 30 minutes for a table. phone rings so we make our way back and settle in with hot teas (green and black) and icy waters. ask for teriyaki wings for starters; kung foo noodles for her main, kimchi fried rice and avocado salmon maki for me!! drums and flats are above average in size and flavor, red and sticky and come with a bunch of wipes :-) kimchi is a strongly flavored, middling heat, low garlic variety that sets up well with a fried egg on a pile of browned rice and chicken. all in all a most enjoyable evening out and dinner with the cutest of chicks in the quiet calm of birkdale.

    This place is great! It is absolutely one of my favorite restaurants in Charlotte! The prices are reasonable as well. I have been here many times and I have always received great food and service! They specialize in noodle soups so I usually stick to them when I order. They have good appetizers and sushi as well, however. So for appetizers they have great wings - large and very crispy! They also have wontons and dumplings. I usually get the sushi by the piece - a great bargain as some are$2.50 each and others are $2 each. I love their eel Nigiri sushi and the Yellowtail Nigiri. They have Bahn Mi sandwiches, Bao Bao and several other items on the menu as well such as stir fried noodle dishes, rice bowls and fried rice. OK, now for some specific recommendations. For wings I really like the Thai Basil, Sesame Chili Garlic and Salt & Pepper wings. Under small plates the Spicy Wontons and Dumplings are very good. For soups, all of them are fantastic but I really like the Lan Zhou, Curry Kick, and HotPot (very spicy!). They say their customer favorite is Curry Kick and I see why - it is outstanding! Lan Zhou has a flavorful beef broth. For beverages they have a variety of looseleaf teas, bubble tea, sake, wine and beer Including several local beers - none on draught though. Cheers!

    Chicken Pad See Yew
    Meesh G.

    Got take out and it was fast and easy. The chicken pad see yew was way more flavorful than what it looks. I was concerned at first that it would be bland by the looks. But it was packed with flavor. I wish there was more chicken but other than that I have no complaints. I'm excited to try other items on the menu in the future.

    Ian M.

    Overall, the experience was pretty disappointing. The service was very slow and not attentive. The parking on a Saturday was horrendous. I had to park at the nearby movie theater. And finally, the food was just bland across-the-board. Everything about this experience was just so boring. The edimame is a good example of what I'm talking about. It tasted like it had just been steamed thrown on a plate and had some salt dribbled over the top. No flavor at all. Hibachi chicken rice bowl had undercooked rice and crazy dry chicken. The only reason we have 3 stars is that we had never had tonkatsu and this place turned us onto it. This place is a pass for me in future.

    Which wings should I get? Pineapple Teriyaki sounds good but I kinda want something spicy so I'm leaning towards Thai Basil. But Chinese BBQ and Lemon Pepper sound tasty, as well. Please HELP!!!

    Lol. You will get no help. They are all good. There is no wrong answer and that's the fun part. I do enjoy the Thai Basil and Pineapple Teriyaki a lot!

    This is my second time eating here and I was not as impressed as the other time. A few things…read morewouldn't allow me to give 5 . First, my General So Chicken was fried to hard. I had time chew the chicken, the spring roll had a unpleasant unfamiliar taste( could have been the oil). The pork lo mein was pretty good and the fried dumplings were just okay. Again, I was so surprised because the first time everything was perfect. I will give them another try. The service was friendly as always and the ambiance is a basic Chinese restaurant with a few chairs

It's a little drive from where she stays--not too far, but absolutely worth it. The food is always fresh and consistently delicious, and the staff is friendly and welcoming every time we visit. I normally go for my usual favorites: shrimp fried rice, wings, and an egg roll. My sister likes to get the egg drop soup, and my mom usually enjoys the shrimp fried rice as well. There's something comforting about the combination of flavors and the warm, inviting atmosphere of the restaurant. I would definitely recommend this spot because you truly will not be disappointed. It's the kind of place where every visit feels like a little treat, and the food always leaves you satisfied and coming back for more.

    I hadn't eaten here for about a decade but I was in the area so gave it a shot…read more At first, I wasn't going to give it a shot because there is a beat-up printer paper on the door--usually not a good sign. I went back to my car and looked up reviews before driving away. Most of the reviews were good. At that moment, I made a decision: "We're going in!" Even though 'we' is just me. Don't judge; I'm sure you do the same from time to time: consciously or subconsciously. I ordered a Quart of Wonton Soup (very exciting) and Roast Pork Lo Mein (pretty cool). The wait was 10-15 minutes and I paid ahead of time. It was $16 and change but the woman behind the counter stared with great anticipation if i would leave a tip. If I could go back, I wouldn't. For what? They're already marking up prices and this part was strange. Not a fan. Fortunately, the food was good. There were only five wontons (quart usually has 6-8) but it was very good!) The Roast Pork Lo Mein was also strong. It actually had too much Roast Pork for me. At this location, I might just get Chicken Lo Mein next time. But I have been seeing more TikToks with chickens on farms and they're pretty chill so maybe just Lo Mein. I would eat from here again. Hope that helped!

    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.
