I have been a huge fan of Poke Bros since they opened their doors in my old home town of Columbus nearly ten years ago. They have come a long way! All the way to Gastonia! I was so happy to see PB on a recent work trip. I ordered a meal through DoorDash. It was super delicious as expected. I went with the build your own tuna bowl ansbit was fantastic. I am so happy! read more

This little place, squeezed into a strip mall off Andrew Jackson Hwy, has all the ingredients for a decent poke bowl. I got the spicy tuna on sushi rice with seaweed, squid salad, masago, ginger, and ponzu. The seating area is well-spaced and clean. I will definitely return for a quick & healthy lunch. read more

I have only ordered doordash from here, but I have always been impressed with their portions and flavors. The amount of food you get for the price is fantastic, and I'm not referring to the filler - there's a lot of diced tuna, veggies and toppings. I have only ever gotten the tuna items here, but they have always been consistently good. Don't sleep on the wasabi aioli either - that's delicious! read more

Was on the hunt for non chain eateries while traveling & came across Poke Bros in a local strip mall. It's not fancy or flashy. Service was pretty abrupt, no nonsense and efficient. Not very warm or friendly at all. My order was prepped very quickly. Ingredients were very fresh. Food was very tasty overall. Spicy salmon needed more flavor other than just spicy hot. I also wished that they told me when I was ordering that the masago, kani & seaweed salad were extra charges. It wasn't a big deal but it would've been nice to let me know ahead of time. read more

Tuesday, was our 19 year Anniversary and we decided to eat on the light side. I had been eyeballing this place on Yelp for a while and glad I went for it. We went for the create your own bowl which was cool. My first layer started with the sushi rice topped with seaweed, onions, imitation crab meat, shrimp, tuna and pretty much a little bit of this and that. Everything on the bar looked like it was cut today(fresh). I guess I got excited cause my bowl had a lot of add-ons. So, be careful with your selections or $$. It was worth it though. Staff was nice and safe wearing mask/Covid-19 signs posted. If you looking from something light with options. Here you go read more

I was super impressed the first couple of times I went to this location. The bowl were full and delicious. The last three times, the bowls have been really unfufilling. These recent trips the proteins has been half a scoop each, previously they were a full scoop. The veggie scoops/servings have also been lighter. I have started buying a kani salad to dump into the bowl to fill it like they used to be. I have attached a picture of the latest bowl. They used to be filled to the lid. On a positive note, the staff is friendly and courteous. The restaurant is also well kept and clean. read more

But she worked with you she asked you she talk to you she spoke to you and then she smiled with you, wearing a mask you can still see the smile.

I would honestly that for the past year or two Poke Bros is the favorite restaurant of me, my wife, and my daughter. It's basically like a build your own sushi bowl with very high quality ingredients and excellent service. The staff is very friendly! Almost anytime we're in Gastonia or passing through Gastonia this is our go to option. We've just started going back into restaurants to eat and this was the first place we chose after not having done indoor dining in 13 months. The folks that run the place have the restaurant set up very safe, everything is always clean and sanitary, and they just have really good food. They do have non-raw options (cooked chicken, tofu, and shrimp) for those unwilling to go with raw salmon or tuna and with the variety of options you can build some rather unique bowls. read more

We brought this to their attention thinking the dish would be remade but it wasn't offered. I had an order of their summer rolls which was good and I also ordered Pho Kay Kho, beef combination which was a spicy Pho. Both meals and the appetizer or plated and presented well. How Pho I had overall was good and I even added extra spice to the soup. Overall, both meals were good, but it didn't really live up to the rave reviews that I had read. The server could have checked on us a couple more times and refreshed our drinks. The interior appeared to be rundown, just a little, but not enough to make me go somewhere else. If I am ever in this area and would like Asian/Thai food, I would probably stop again. I would prefer another couple of my favorite restaurants that serve Pho over Bep-pa's. You'll see the photograph the presentation was nice. The food was good however, there were some customer service issues along with the interior portion of the restaurant could be cleaned up just a little bit more. I would recommend, however there is nothing over the top about Bep-pa's.

A friendly young woman greeted us and prepared our bowls with care, walking us down the options without rushing. Mrs. K. chose a rice base topped with a sweet and spicy sauce that struck a lovely balance. I went with greens and a spicy avocado sauce that added just the right kick without overwhelming the freshness of the ingredients. Both bowls were vibrant, well-portioned, and reasonably priced at $14, though there is a $2 upcharge for surimi and for masago, which is worth noting if you're customizing your bowl with extras. The restaurant itself was spotless. The assembly line looked well maintained, with ingredients neatly arranged and everything moving smoothly. It's a small detail, but it speaks to the pride they take in their setup and the consistency they aim to deliver. As a pescatarian, Mrs. K. has a soft spot for poke, and this spot hit the mark.

The picnic tables were a little dirty so we decide to eat at the tables closer to the window. My bowl was good and very light. I was extremely hungry after eating it. I think the protein size should have been a little bit more for the price. If you look for a light light option here you got. It was OK.

The servers were very kind and helpful. I take minor issue with two things: (1) the time it took to receive my takeout order. It was over 20 minutes, and while I waited, folks walked in, placed new orders, got good, ate, and left before mine was ready. Probably a kitchen oversight, so no big deal. (2) there are no espresso based drinks here, which is quite surprising for a place with "café" in the name. There was a self-serve American coffee station however. Otherwise, if ever again in the area, I would return and order the same things!

They had a smaller breakfast menu, but I landed on their homestyle breakfast with bacon, potatoes, and raisin toast. They also had an option to have liver mush, which I never heard of or tried. The cashier mentioned it's like a slab of pork. My friend had the Cajun grits, and I almost ordered that, but had an unpleasant experience with grits at the last restaurant I went to, so wanted a safe bet. It did take a little longer than anticipated for my plate to come out, but the staff is very pleasant and kind. My meal was very simple but very good. My favorite part of it was the bacon. It was perfectly crisp with the right amount of crunch. I tried it with the raisin toast, and it was sweet and savory. My friend commented that the grits were good, too. The prices there were even better. I would definitely support again if I was in the area.

It looked like a nice spot overall. Since it was close to closing, not sure what it's like with a crowd. I asked if the chicken noodle were like hibachi with the sauce and I was told yes. Got that and spring rolls. I got to work and was so disappointed. There was no sauce or seasoning on the chicken it was plain chicken and noddles. My photo is after I put two packs of soy sauce in and went to purchase more to add to the food. It was very plain. I was really in the mood for noodles. I may not return because I don't want to be disappointed in my order. I should have throughly looked before leaving but was on the way to work.

We had a few of them back in the Mountains when I was growing up but here in the Piedmont, they were an institution. Not as popular as they used to be and some have closed but this is one of the best remaining ones. Located in Gaston County next to the South Fork River. It has they feel of a place where everyone is made to feel immediately at home. Like most fish camps, fried fish is the rule of thumb and theirs is excellent. Nice and crispy and while tartar sauce it the norm, I prefer either just lemon or malt vinegar. No problem. They also have fried oysters and fried chicken livers which I have had both as well as deviled crab. Portions are huge and I always end up taking the leftovers home. Staff is very friendly and helpful and place is immaculate. Service is great. Highly recommend.

I don't know who posted these reviews, but I think it's probably the kids that work there because this is in a FOOD COURT INSIDE A MALL. Not even a real Chinese restaurant! (obviously I didn't see that on Google). I didn't have my hopes too high thinking it would be similar to New York, but this is just an insult. Good thing I had extra packets of sauce at home from my son because they even charge you extra for the packets of sauce. SMH And if you order anything other than chicken, they call it hibachi so they can charge you more. Really? A hibachi grill...at a mall... Lesson learned. Now you know. :(

Needless to say, we were excited when we heard a Gastonia location was opening. Unfortunately, we've visited this location twice now, and both experiences have been disappointing. The chicken has been noticeably bland, the fries lack seasoning and flavor, and the fountain sodas have been flat on both visits. It just doesn't deliver the same quality we've come to expect from SuperChix. We were really hoping this would become our new go-to location because it's so much closer to home. Instead, we'll continue making the drive to Fort Mill, where the food is consistently fresh, flavorful, and prepared the way SuperChix should be. We hope the Gastonia location improves because we'd love to support it.

Chex Grill & Wings

In the pursuit of excellence, one must often look past the surface to find the substance. At…read moreChex's, the surface is undeniably polished. The establishment boasts an aesthetically chic interior, anchored by "marble" tables that, while regrettably small, contribute to an atmosphere of modern cleanliness. This commitment to hygiene is not merely a feeling; it is a matter of public record, as evidenced by their impeccable 100.0 sanitation rating. However, a critic knows that a clean house does not always guarantee a feast. The kitchen was manned by a skeleton crew of only two workers, while a third handled the front register--a staffing reality that telegraphed an inevitable wait from the moment of entry. While waiting, my gaze was frequently drawn to the refrigerator behind the counter, where large, tempting slices of red velvet cake stood like alluring sirens. The meal itself was a study in contradictions. The fries were a standout: fried to a structural crisp and dusted with a unique seasoning that provided a sophisticated "tang". Unfortunately, the Mozzarella Sticks failed to reach such heights... $7.99 for six, they were decidedly mediocre and hardly worth the price point, accompanied by a measly two-ounce cup of marinara sauce. The true tragedy, however, lay in the wings. While the portion sizes were undeniably generous, boasting an impressive amount of flats, the sauce was a disappointment. As the visual evidence confirms, the sauce lacked emulsification, leaving the wing to languish in a pool of separated oil. This scarcity extended to the condiments: I was provided only a single two-ounce cup of ranch to split between seven wings, a mountain of fries, and six pieces of celery. The Verdict: Chex's Grill & Wings is a place of diligent effort: I observed the front-counter worker spending their downtime meticulously tidying the lobby. Yet, for all its cleanliness and five large-screen distractions, the culinary execution remains inconsistent. It is a masterclass in visual presentation, but it requires more depth in the sauce and a bit more generosity in the portioning of its sauces. Rating: 3/5 Stars
