    New favorite takeout spot for sure! We ordered the duck noodle soup, which was huge and tasted great - lots of onion flavor. We ended up splitting the soup between two people. I also ordered the appetizer sized honey walnut shrimp, which was so incredible!! Not the best portion size but the flavor was awesome. Lastly I got the Lumpia which tasted so crispy - loved it! Plenty of parking for an easy pickup. Check out their lunch menu for super reasonable prices.

    Kimchi udon noodle soup

    Got the milk tea boba tea and kimchi udon soup. The boba tea was delicious and not overly sweet and the uson soup was tasty. Sour soup base with lots of kimchi, veggies, fat udon noodles and lots of seafood. Service was very good and restaurant was spacious so you didn't feel clustered.

    Broth for hot pot
    Victoria G.

    Riso is just about as authentic as you can get in Charleston. We've been several times but I will say this last time was our least favorite visit. Food was not as spicy and flavorful as usual but the doesn't mean we won't keep going back. The spicy Szechuan chicken was something new we tried and it was delicious. Also tried the limpia for the first time and was slightly disappointing. The hotpot is what we always come back for. You can get spicy or regular. We got half and half this time. It comes with chicken, lamb, beef, pork and vegetables that you cook in the spicy broth. I have yet to find a place in Charleston that does anything similar.

    Pho Special
    Sharon R.

    This place was just ok. I ordered the Pad Thai and it wasn't really peanutty, it has this red sauce but I'm not sure what it was, it didn't really have any flavor. My husband had the beef pho and found the flavor lacking as well. It wasn't awful, but we certainly won't be back

    Pho Special Bowl with Beef Bowl

    I used to love eating here and was a regular to the point that the waiter knew my order. However They have really let the place go and the bugs take over. Today I received a cockroach IN MY BOWL OF PHO. The pho special is not supposed to be a roach protein surprise! I get it that restaurants have bugs to some extent, but this isn't the first time seeing them there either. Extremely saddened and disgusted

    Yummy!

    It's a great place! One star ding for not having an efficient order online service. Order was supposed to be ready at a certain time and it wasn't. Had to wait 15 minutes. People, who were ordering on the spot, got their meal before me. That being said, everything was tasty. Forgot to get pics of Bubble Tea, perfect shrimp lo mein with shrimp basil roll. I did get a pic of my tasty House Pad Thai--beef, shrimp, chicken, and pork. Yummy!

    Shrimp Pad Thai
    Heather E.

    I've been eyeing this restaurant for about a month now and today I went in for lunch. I was immediately greeted by two friendly wait staff/hosts and seated. I was the only one in the restaurant, as I timed my visit to miss the lunch rush. The food was delicious! I ordered the Shrimp Pad Thai and Gyoza (pan fried dumplings). I also asked for a little of the hot chili oil on the side. The dishes were beautifully presented and very tasty. The waiters were so friendly and we chatted and watched a funny video on one of their iPhones. We also spoke about traditional Chinese dishes we love. Of course, my waiter being Chinese, knew much more about the various dishes and recommended me to try a few next time I'm visiting my best friend in New York City. The other waiter showed me a picture of a little snowman he made when it snowed in Charleston a few years back. He used Chopsticks for arms and cheese puffs for buttons. Cute! Speaking of my best friend, I sent her the pics of my food that I'm attaching to this review. I told her that I was definitely taking her here when she visits me! I loved the food, the staff was so friendly, and the decor was calming and inviting. I'll definitely be back!

    hot pot
    Caroline C.

    We came here specifically for the hot pot and were not disappointed!!! Be prepared that it takes about 20 minutes for them to prepare and you can pick between non spicy, spicy, or both broths. I recommend the spicy broth and will probably ask for extra spice next time. The hot pot is $40 for a minimum of 2 people, but I would say this would feed 3-5. It comes with bok choy, zucchini, napa cabbage, tofu, glass noodles, and mushrooms. The included meats are lamb, beef, chicken, and pork, which are all thinly sliced for easy cooking. The veg and meats were fresh and tasty! This is definitely a fun way to spend a Sunday brunch with friends!

    Fried noodle bowl
    Vivian W.

    We came here for dinner as i want their super spicy noodle soup. But when i ask them and try to order that noodle soup, they say it's no longer in the menu, just a picture. Too bad. So i ordered Vietnamese noodle soup. Husband order fried noodle bowl. He is really impressed with the noodle bowl, and the meat and veggie stirfry inside is not like normal Chinese restaurant with a sweet taste, so he really likes it. My pho is good, except the beaf, the beef is not the typical Vietnamese beef noodle pho beef. Itsmore like a sliced piece of beef after cooked. It should be a raw very thin sliced beaf, and should be very tender and juicy. But their beef is hard and firm. But they offer a lot of beef in the soup, more than what u can get in a typical pho.

    We enjoyed eating here because they have the best Honey Walnut Shrimp. The Chinese food is great. Simple modest dining area.

The ambiance is very charming, making it a great spot for a casual yet elevated dinner. The Drink: We tried the traditional infused Baijiu for the first time. It's a concentrated liquor that packs a serious punch! It's served in a vessel smaller than a shot glass and meant to be sipped. One of the staff members shared the history and craft behind it, which made the experience feel like a genuine cultural exchange The Food: The Hot and Sour Mushrooms are the unsung heroes of the menu. They were earthy, tangy, and the perfect palate cleanser between bites of the fiery Cumin Lamb Noodles. Can't wait to go back and try other menu items!

    Great hidden Chinese spot on James island for those who love a little (or a lot of) spice!…read more Kewi Fei is a super charming gem with fantastic food and service. It's not huge inside so if you're sold on dinner here, get a reservation! The staff is excellent about explaining the menu and identifying choices that can dial up or down the spice. We ordered a variety of plates including the marinated cucumbers, lamb dumplings, crispy potatoes, green beans, and Dan Dan noodles. Everything was absolutely fantastic, but the lamb dumplings and noodles knocked it out of the park. Everything but the green beans had some level of spice, but nothing intolerable. The food comes out family style and many of the plates are on the smaller side so it's made for sharing. You can't go wrong with anything here, just prepare to drink lots of water while enjoying the amazing food!!

We did come in on a busy Saturday night at prime dinner time so we had to wait about 40 mins, but I knew there would be a wait so that's fine. Also, once you sit down, you don't wait for anything. Every time we ordered, the food came out in a few minutes or less. For our first round, we started with the a pot of jasmine tea, cucumber salad and the crab rangoon. The cucumber salad seems like such a simple dish, but the mix of flavor they add makes it a refreshing bite between each course... this is a must have. The crag rangoon was some of the best we've ever had and we loved it so much that we ordered a second plate. There are only three per plate so order accordingly. The tea was great but let it steep longer than you think you need to for maximum flavor. Next we did a round fo dumplings. Obviously we had the pork soup dumplings which were fantastic. I wanted to get more, but we had also ordered the sichuan chili wonton and the pan seared pork dumpling. While I enjoyed both of these, I would probably try some of the others on the menu next time. We finished with two entrees. One was the udon noodles with chicken and the other was the beef and broccoli. I love udon noodles for their bouncy texture and this portion was plentiful. The beef and broccoli was so tender and delicious. This would also be a must order item and make sure to get a side of white rice to go with it. While the robot didn't come anywhere near our table, the human servers were all amazing and made sure we had everything we need at a moments notice. They really run a tight ship here and can turn tables while providing excellent service all at once. I can't wait to come back and try more of the menu.
