Every turn we had led us to more hallways of closed and/or empty stores. The few locations still containing employees were underwhelming in selection.

The Mall didn't fully open until 11am. But really there isn't much to wait for. Not many things still left here! There is about 10-15 stores, a bath and body works, Hot Topics, Shoe Dept Encore, Belks, several stores can't remember their names, & Kay Jewelers. At least I was able to join some mall walkers to get in some steps.

Alley 51 is a food hall next to Super G's International Market. they have an incredible variety of restaurants to choose from all of them from East Asia. You can find sushi, Vietnamese noodle bowls, Mongolian, beef, and even roast Peking duck. come on! How cool is that? I have tried a few of the restaurants. I especially enjoyed the Thai. I have had the drunken noodles which were delightful. I was able to add Thai chilies which helped the level considerably. The owner recommends the basil chicken fried rice. I have also enjoyed the Laoatian food. The Laab is really good. I plan to eat my way across the entire hall. I am looking forward to sampling it all.

Well stocked and loved that the aisles were labeled by country/continent. Wide variety on each aisle. The stuff you find in the aisle is the real life to the AI snacks posted that make you mad but they exist here! From fresh fruit to imported sodas, chips and seasonings and that's just the grocery store part! The food court is almost hard to digest! We walked around 2 laps before deciding! Everyone is ready to serve you! Most had digital checkouts but I asked the actual persons so that I can ask recommendations I recommend order a little from a few different stands. My favorite was the green drink. It was kiwi lime flavored. Sweet but tangy. Delicious! My least fav was the dumpling looking things.

We moved from the Richmond, VA area less than a year ago so we're still discovering all the places. My husband and I are GenX, so we are the Mall Rat generation - lost in a sea of the hot trend of "Town Centers", so we always check out malls to try to find ones that aren't on their last leg; filled with one-off trinket shops. We were in awe of this mall! It is full, it's big, it's lively, and it's got an awesome food court! It's like we stepped into a time warp and landed in the '90's; we felt like teenagers again! All the good stores are in here. The only thing I didn't see - and I may have just missed it - was a music store. I miss the old days of going and listening to new albums on headphones and talking to people as we dig through the CD racks. I got some of my best music recommendations that way. And with the resurgence of vinyl, that mall really would be a prime spot for a record store! If anyone ever decides to build a nursing home for us GenXers, just use this mall. All you have to do is take out the Southern Lion and put little rooms in there. You don't have to change anything else! 'Cause let's face it - we're not gonna go easy, so there better be a Spencer's and a Cinnabon wherever the youngin's put us.

I mean does any over 40 remember growing up to one of the best experiences of their childhood called a MALL? I do and sadly those days are slowly yielding way to Ecommerce, outdoor shopping centers designed for ease of access and speed, and new societal norms. Located in a safe area off of I-485 Carolina Place is a very nice place to take the family while shopping for all those modern needs or even for us older folks, a step back in memory lane. I mean gone are Radio Shack, Merry-Go-Round, Aladdin's Castle, KB Toys and Suncoast to name a few replaced by empty units or some places that have been able to maintain their leases like Belk (for those southern folks), Gamestop, Dicks and well you get the point. The main take away is I feel is the place is safe and has great natural light. I took my daughters and got their bathing suits at a place that will remain nameless one for $80 the other $60, but alas the discount brought both to $50 total. I'm ignorant of pricing at retail stores and how it works during the season but that was just weird to me. We wondered around, picked up some Auntie Anne's pretzel bites (our favorite) to nibble on while I took them to several stores which they loved including Hot Topic and Claire's. I really like the layout here, wide open. My favorite place to take my girls is the food court. We saw a huge line and while I hoped it was for multiple restaurants, nope I knew what it was for. Sarku had over 30 people in line while all the other stalls had one or two customers. All in all it took us roughly 20 mins to get our food. I'm curious what would happen if I dropped another Sarku in the food court? Anyways, they were SLOW but as always really good. So, when you're there I highly suggest Double Chicken Teriyaki w/ fried rice along with an extra scoop of sauce on the top. The chicken is nice and caramelized with a nice soy kick and fried rice, need I say more? All in all, I still cherish the mall and Carolina Place is holding up the tradition! While I wish all the units were filled, such as life these days. If you'd like to make a day of fun activities with the kids, I think you should consider stopping by, just make sure you hit the food court while doing your shopping!

Hidden Gem BBQ & Noodles at the Asian Market…read more As a transplant to Charlotte for work -- and someone who is always on the hunt for the foods I grew up loving -- this food stall inside the Super G Mart extension in Pineville absolutely hits the mark. It does not disappoint. I have to agree with the former chef from Fahrenheit who once said they have some of the best char siu in town. Here, they call it honey BBQ pork, and it's served over rice with a soy sauce egg and pickled radish. It's simple, comforting, and incredibly satisfying -- the kind of meal that keeps you coming back. I've also tried their wonton soup, potstickers, chili oil wontons, and even the BBQ pork ribs à la carte. Everything has been consistently delicious. This is the kind of place where you can explore the menu over time and never get bored. A few practical tips for fellow shoppers and food lovers: * Parking is easy, and there's a separate entrance just for the food hall. * If you're shopping in the grocery store first, be aware that shopping carts aren't allowed in the food hall section -- so plan accordingly. * And my best advice: go hungry and eat before you shop. Trust me on that one. There's a whole wide world of food out there, and this spot is a great place to start eating your way through it. I'll definitely be back.

The wings were the standout: crispy skin, sticky-sweet BBQ glaze, and an Asian flavor that made them super addictive. You get 6 wings. The shrimp fried rice was a nice compliment, with plenty of shrimp. The food came out hot and fresh, and service was quick, even on a Friday. I like the casual food hall setup -- it's great for grabbing a bite without committing to a full restaurant experience. I'd go back for the wings alone.

They have a few entrées to choose from as well, and their barbecue pork fried rice is absolutely delicious! My only complaint is the pricing. I personally feel like dim sum and smaller buns should be relatively inexpensive, especially considering the portion sizes. For what you pay here, you could visit a sit-down dim sum restaurant and get a little more bang for your buck. That being said, the food is flavorful, and I do enjoy stopping by when I'm craving a good pork bun or boba. I just wish the prices were a little more reasonable for what you're getting!

I asked the person taking my order what she would recommend, but she seemed unsure and didn't offer much guidance, so I ended up ordering the Braised Pork Jian Bing. The order comes with two pieces, which is a good portion, but there was barely any meat inside. Most of the pork was very fatty, which made the dish disappointing. It's unfortunate because this was my first time trying food from Quicitop, and it didn't leave a good impression. The Alley food hall itself is great, but based on this experience with this dish, I probably wouldn't order from here again.

Not a bad thing at all, but not what we were expecting based on the dish's name. These are a hoisin-lover's dream, and the sausage inside was a nice touch. Would get again!

I've tried several vendors by now, and so far, they've been more or less disappointing in taste, presentation and pricing (way overpriced). This place, however, hit all the right spots. We ordered the OG Smash Burger with Fries, and K-Street Egg Toast (w/ Ham), and Ginger Ale. Well, first of all, the pricing seemed fair ( food-court appropriate!)...something I can't say for some of the vendors I've tried so far. The burgers were more expensive than McDonalds, but less than that of a restaurant (as it should be!). Then their K-Street Toast was a STEAL. I say that because their Egg Toast was less than 7 bucks, yet Huge...so buttery, soft and fluffy too! Most importantly, these quality-packed burgers, egg toast AND fries were all absolutely delicious! Surprising...because you don't think Korean when you think of good burgers...but these burgers (and the fries!) were rich, savory and juicy...SO good! In fact, I'd put it right up there with Bang Bang Burgers and Ace #3 (my fave burger joints in town). Again, their K-Street Toast was quite the treat...it was luscious!! I'm already thinking about running back to try more items on their menu...like their Korean Chicken Sandwich and Bulgogi Cheese Fries. I'm not even a big fan of hand-helds, but this was the best meal I've had at this food court...and I didn't feel ripped off at the end of it!

When you think about it, it would be very simple to make something like this at home for less. And like most patrons of Chipotle, you could eat it for days and never tire. Also, it's become basically a joke it's so common to hear, "guac is extra". An extra $2 to be exact - an incredible rip-off. But. I like Chipotle so I will keep coming back for more. This location is convenient being in the mall [and all]. Service is mediocre at best but I guess it's not hard to pile varying ingredients in a bowl and hand it over. You don't have to do it with a smile really.
