I got the Korean corn dog (panko, half cheese and half sausage, sugared) and it was piping hot and fresh. I got the japchae as a side and the taste wasn't bad, but it was not really japchae, just glass noodles with some scallion... Overall though, it was a solid convenient spot to grab some quick street food for cheap! The server was kind and quick, and there was plenty of seating within the food court as well, so the vibes were casual and good. Not a bad place!

Clean and inviting dining area at Monarch Market. Staff were friendly and helpful…read more For a place named after the capital of South Korea, I was expecting better flavors. I went with the most Korean dish they had. I ordered the KatsuBap, which is actually Japanese as mentioned in their business page. I almost enjoyed the katsu (pork) but didnt have enough rice and sauce. I felt like it only had a spoon of scambled eggs. Too much greens in the bowl. If you're eating here, don't expect to eat authentic Korean food. They had korean corndogs and a bulgogi bowl that I might try next time.

This place made me LOVE Philly cheesesteaks. I never liked them (even when I was actually in…read morePhilly) until I came here. Now I'm obsessed. Absolutely incredible. The owner was also incredibly sweet and took the time to talk with us about how the team went to Philly and did so much research before opening this place. You can truly taste the care and effort that went into it! The prices are more than worth it in my opinion , and every time we're in Charlotte, this is a must stop for us. Mouthwatering, packed with flavor, and absolutely worth any wait. I honestly wish they'd open one in Raleigh because we'd be there every single week. This place is officially a staple for us, and I cannot rave about these cheesesteaks enough. Thank you for serving the community and honestly don't listen to any review that isn't 5 stars.

I was very impressed at how quickly and…read moregraciously they not only messaged me to apologize, but also that they offered to refund based on the situation. While it was not a great first impression, I will be willing to give this place a second chance based on the follow-up alone! In times where customer courtesy and being a customer-conscientious business seems to have fallen to the wayside of pure profit and capitalism, I have to give full kudos as to how quickly and kindly this situation was handled. Well done and thank you for making me feel seen, heard, and valued!!! Just goes to show, voicing your experiences on these kinds of platforms can result in action :)

My best friend ended up getting us the sampler platter from La Caseta and we really enjoyed it! It was such a huge space but was a bit difficult to figure out where what was so we just ended up walking around on one side. We ended up going to Good Postage and I really loved the store! They had a little doggy walking around which was super cute and I ended up buying a sticker for my memories. I would definitely come back here if I was visiting Charlotte again!

I've been going to this Christmas market since its first year. It used to be a lot better, but it's…read moregone down hill. It used to be at Romare Bearden Park and I think that's the when it was at its best. After that, it moved to a random parking lot and then most recently to BB&T Ballpark. The number of vendors has gone down significantly. They added a lights display last year which was kind of cool. They also started charging an entrance fee. I might go back if it goes back to being free, but I definitely don't think it's worth paying to get into.

I was very excited to visit the Christmas Village while visiting Charlotte during the holidays. I…read morethought it'd be a perfect thing to do! i was very disappointed and underwhelmed. The market was crowded in a small parking lot with very small stands for vendors. It was very crowded so it was hard to go in and check all the stands. Some were empty, they weren't too many to begin with. I even witnessed somebody breaking an ornament inside a stand, a first for me! Holiday craziness, I guess? More like lack of space. The decorations were minimal and subdued, Santa was crawling along to take his place in his house, guess he was on a break? Prices were high for the merchandise on sale. I got a cheese strudel, a parmesan pretzel and 2 hot apple ciders (small sizes) for $23? Seriously? They ran out of cherry and apple strudels and I settled for cheese, left with no choices. It was the worst I ever had, I couldn't taste the marzipan, the cheese was barely any, no raisins or anything, pretty bland. The market is free and for what they have to offer, they better not charge admission. Worst Christmas market I ever visited! And the smallest!

This coffee shop is super chill and tiny. Located just on the outskirts of Uptown. I met a good…read morefriend here for catch up and coffee time. The inside is super small. Probably enough room for like 3 people to sit inside. I loved that they had real plants. We decided to sit outside because there wasn't room inside. Luckily it was a fairly warm day. There's two tables outside so we were able to sit right out front. The guy working there was nice. He highly recommended their Mexican hot chocolate so that's what I tried and it was pretty good. He brought our drink order out to us which I thought was nice. This shop is located in a pretty quiet side of uptown so that was nice. They do have a few parking spots that are paid. So it was nice to not have to walk far. I'd come back and try their coffee. I had a pretty good experience here!

This tiny coffee shop is fun and cool!…read more Located inside a standalone building right next to a consignment clothing store, this cooffee shop offers the ultimate urban and hypster experience with awesome people and music. The menu offers a limited variety of hot and iced drinks. One of the owners was the barista, so the service was outstanding. Warning: Because this place is in uptown/downtown, parking is a bit challenging. This building has its own parking lot, but you cannot park in it as the spots aren"monthly" spots for nearby offices. If you are going to the coffee shop, there are some affordable street parking spots and a public parking lot across the street. The first time I came, I stopped by for ten minutes, and I got a parking ticket. Outch! Other than that, 100% recommended.

They have a set menu option OR a build your own, and opted for a build your own! Staff was diligent in taking my ingredients AND preparation was FAST! All sushi burriots come with mixed greens automatically, and I ordered a sushi rice base, with salmon for my protein, with ponzu sauce (underwhelming, unsure if they remembered it), and embellished with: cucumber, edamame beans, grilled pineapple (+$.50 - not enough to be worth an up charge), and avocado (+$.75 - not enough to be worth an up charge). For the "finish it up" I opted for sesame seeds and tempura chips which I feel like should be relabeled as tenpura crisps.. but still a good added crunch! My burrito, after tax and tip, was like $21. Next time I wont be adding pineapple and avocado as I feel the cost to add did not reflect the quantity added to my burrito, but content with the decent amount of salmon pieces! Overall pretty comparable to other places, and will find myself coming back! Classic "food hall" set up, and is located in the corner by The Bar with ample seating inside and outside! Free first 90min parking always a plus!!
