The lo mein looked kind of bland to me at first, but upon the first bite, I was proven wrong. It wasn't super saucy like some lo mein, but the noodles were so fresh and bouncy, with a great savory flavor. The crab Rangoon were tasty (a little heavy on the cream cheese, but the price reflects that). Highly recommend the Chinese style green beans. Can't wait to try more items!! They have a very large menu and the to-go serving helpings are massive. Great deal and tasty food!!

After trying many pho spots around Charlotte, I can honestly say Pho at NoDa is doing it right…read more The filet mignon pho is excellent. The meat is high quality, tender, and generously portioned, and the broth is rich and full of flavor. I've ordered the same pho every time because it's consistently that good. I've also tried the spring rolls, and they were fresh and delicious. If you're looking for authentic, flavorful pho made with quality ingredients, Pho at NoDa is definitely worth a visit.

I am filing a formal complaint regarding my experience at 4 at NoDa. This is the second time I have…read morevisited this establishment, and on both occasions the same employee changed the total on my receipt after my purchase. ( THE GUY WITH THE GLASSES HIS NAME IS PETER ) (HE'S THE ONLY WAITER) added a tip for himself without my authorization ( FOR THE SECOND TIME TIPPED HIS SELF $10.00 ( THATS STEALING ) ( THIS IS HIS SECOND TIME. ) This time, I caught him in the act. When I questioned him, he denied what happened and then attempted to cover it up by printing a duplicate receipt showing the original amount instead of the altered receipt that included the unauthorized tip. This behavior appears to be deceptive and raises serious concerns about fraudulent activity. People work hard for their money and should never have to worry about employees altering receipts or adding unauthorized charges. I believe this matter should be thoroughly investigated, including reviewing surveillance footage and transaction records to determine whether this has happened to other customers. I expect appropriate action to be taken, including holding the employee accountable if the investigation confirms this misconduct. If this matter is not addressed seriously, I intend to report my experience to local news outlets and any appropriate consumer protection agencies. I hope management will treat this complaint with the seriousness it deserves and take immediate steps to protect its customers from any future incidents. ( I HAVE MY PROOF )

Service was fast, a little brusque, and price wise it felt a little steep (18$ after tax and tip). It's a simple and straightforward place and menu.

Had dinner at Thai House - University and it delivered exactly what a neighborhood Thai spot…read moreshould. We ordered the Basil Fried Rice with chicken (added a sunny egg on top), Pad Thai, and the beef skewers. The basil fried rice was the standout. Great wok flavor, rice wasn't soggy, and the egg with crispy edges tied everything together perfectly. I ordered medium spice -- just right for me, although my wife felt the heat immediately. Thai medium is not American medium, so order wisely. The Pad Thai was solid and balanced -- not overly sweet, good noodle texture, generous portion. The beef skewers were tender with nice char and paired well with the peanut sauce. Service was friendly, food came out hot, and portions were generous. Now for my slightly controversial take: in my experience, Asian restaurants are almost never 5-star places. The magic zone is 3.5 to 4 stars. That's where you usually find the most authentic, no-frills, flavor-first cooking. If a place is too polished, something is probably toned down. Thai House sits right in that sweet spot. Would absolutely come back.

Visited Thai House during a business trip and ordered takeout. The online ordering process was…read moreconvenient and made it easy to grab food on the go. I ordered the broccoli fried rice and the knockout rolls. The broccoli fried rice was decent--nothing extraordinary, but it satisfied my hunger. I ordered it at a level 2 spice, which ended up being a bit spicier than I expected. It also could have used a little more flavor overall. The knockout rolls were good and generously filled, which I appreciated. My only complaint was the peanut sauce, it tasted more like hoisin sauce, and I wish it had a stronger peanut flavor. The service was also very good. The staff at the front were friendly, welcoming, and made picking up my order a pleasant experience. Overall, it was an alright Thai restaurant. It may not be the most memorable meal, but it's a convenient option if you're looking for a quick Thai takeout spot with great service.

All that being said.... I still don't have a "perfect" pizza place, bagel, or Chinese spot. I'm raving about Ho Ho Cherry House because it's exactly what it needs to be. I wanted Singapore noodles and a bunch of random soups and apps. I got all of that via delivery (so props to the apps) but my food was SCORCHING hot, fresh, and delicious. Everything was packed neatly and I was given plenty of extra sauces, fortune cookies, utensils, and the like. I've begun to realize I will forever be let down if I keep comparing everything I try to what I was used to back home. And being so focused on the comparison, I forget that sometimes these places are BOMB in their own right.

There's something timeless and comforting about traditional American Chinese cuisine. From the…read morefortune cookies, to the duck and soy sauce packets, to the instantly recognizable boxes for rice and noodles, it's a cultural mainstay that we grew up eating. I remember as a kid being so excited when my parents decided to order some Chinese take out and the feeling of opening up the bag when they got home. Everyone needs to have their go to spot for take out, and I have found mine just a short walk from where I live. Lai Lai is a small and cozy spot located on Montford Drive. There are a few tables but it is definitely primarily a take out spot. The prices are reasonable, and the food I've had is very good. My particular favorites are the bourbon chicken and the boneless spare ribs. I love knowing that they are right down the road from me so if I'm ever craving Chinese, I won't have to look far!

I placed my order for chicken bulgogi via the kiosk. Once I paid, I noted that I never got a receipt even though I'm certain I put in my email correctly. I waited 30 minutes for my food, which is way too long for what I ordered. While I waited, I noticed only one person was working, which is surprising since it was a Friday night. She was working as fast as she could, but there must've been 10 customers in front of me, so she had a lot of orders to process. When I finally got my order, I sat down and gave it a try. What a disappointment. The chicken seemed to be precooked, and just tossed in sauce. The vegetables are pre-chopped. The rice quality was below average. This was basically a dish that could be put together in less than 60 seconds since everything was prepared in advance, so I'm not sure why it took 30 minutes. The Blasian Lemonade was quite with just the right amount of ginger. It was edible, but nothing more. I've had better chicken bulgogi at a shopping mall food court. The only thing I enjoyed was the Camp North End atmosphere and the DJ in the area and the lemonade
