    Chicken Wings and Fried Rice
    Laquisha N.

    Nice restaurant with plenty of seating. Food was hot and fresh. I had the sweet and sour soup with Shrimp fried rice and chicken wings.

    Crab Rangoon

    We decided to order take out from this restaurant. We wanted something quick and easy. It was very easy to order. We ordered General Tso Chicken with white rice with Crab Rangoons. The General Tso Chicken had good flavor and there was lots of chicken. I believe it comes with a pint a white rice. The low star review was solely for the Crab Rangoons. They were literally empty. There was no filling inside any of them and it was a huge waste of money. I wouldn't order them again sadly.

    Shrimp fried rice with chicken wings, always good and excellent service

    Fast and friendly service, fried rice and chicken wings are really good. My go to Chinese when I'm in Pineville.

    Crab Ragoons. Not my favorite but there ok.

    Always friendly and quick! I lived in South Charlotte almost 20 years and they are definitely my go-to take out. Food is great and fresh. They also sell shrimp sauce which is a plus!

    This is what came out of the plastic bag my order was in!

    The paper bag with my order was in a plastic bag, so I did not notice the greasy mess until I took it out of the bag. The food was otherwise just okay.

    We were so glad that this place was open for take out despite COVID-19! They have a wide variety of options at great affordable prices. We had Shrimp with Lobster Sauce dinner combo ($8.75) and General Tso's Chicken dinner combo ($8.25). The dinner combos all come with pork fried rice and an egg roll. The egg roll was large but a bit soggy and lacking in flavor. They were very generous with their portion sizes. General Tso's Chicken was not spicy at all, which I was actually glad for. Their Steamed Dumplings (8 pieces for $4.95) were delicious. You can request that the dumplings are either fried or steamed. We weren't sure when our food was ready for pick up because our name was never taken and therefore never called out, nor were we given a number to be called when our food was ready. They just left the food in a bag on the counter and walked away, as if we were somehow supposed to know it was ours. Other than that, we were pleased with our experience.

    Shrimp in garlic sauce lunch special.
    Devin M.

    Delicious! Crisp veggies, great sauce. It was quick and we were surprised because we just happened upon them on a trip to run errands. We tried the vegetable lo mein and the shrimp in garlic sauce lunch special. No complaints other than - make sure u get napkins, soy sauce, etc.

    Hot & Sour Soup a little bland

    Searching for Chinese in Charlotte, I found that this place had an intriguing menu. They are retro…read morein the sense that there is no online ordering, so I called in. It is busy enough that plenty of other people had also called in for takeout. The price was higher than I thought it would be by a significant margin; I thought something was off but then rechecking their menu I saw it was indeed $20 for a vegetable entree. On the upside, they did offer brown rice at no extra charge. Still, I'll get three meals out of it and as someone who eats a lot of takeout, this was not a great value. In terms of quality, I was thrilled to find that they offered a stir-fried okra dish. This is a ubiquitous Indian dish, and of course okra is common throughout the tropics globally, but I'd never seen this offered at a Chinese restaurant before. And the rapid cooking technique typical of the cuisine produced a delightfully crisp vegetable, which went great with a black bean sauce and some very hot dried chilis. On the other hand, their interpretation of ma po tofu had some fermented broad beans but minimal vegetables (sometimes you get mushrooms or peas or at least some leeks or something) and no numbing sensation. They had a bean curd roll dish that I enjoyed, and some quality dumplings. Overall, not huge portions and a mix of okay to great quality.

    Since I moved from NYC I have been desperately searching for REAL Chinese food. Lee Cafe came…read morehighly recommended by another NayC transplant so I figured I'd give it a go. I ordered the sesame chicken dinner, wonton soup and an egg roll. The egg roll was soooooo small...super lint and little. I co my s from a place where one egg roll can be shared by two people. Thick and super stuffed. Forget that. It doesn't exist here. The mini egg roll was dry and you couldn't even tell what was in it. The wonton soup broth had a great flavor but the wontons were not fresh. They were gummy in a creepy kinda way. Frozen with freezer burn was my best guess. The sesame chicken was super super super OVERFRIED. Dry as a bone inside. This had clearly been pre fried and then fried again and dipped in a sticky sauce with weird texture. Kind of tasted like sesame chicken but the texture of the sauce and the dry chicken were disgusting. I spit it out. This place is a nicer version of Panda Express. If you like Panda Express .....bless your hearts than you might love this place. Those of us who have been exposed to amazing Chinese food at super cheap prices are not loving the Chinese food offerrings here in the Carolina's. Yuck

We got there early and the place was already packed with folks ordering take out, as well as starting to sit for dinner. The service was not impacted whatsoever. We ordered appetizers of edamame, miso soup, and crab Rangoon which all came out quickly and was delicious. The kids easily split the sweet and sour chicken and chicken lo mein which is their absolute favorite. My husband ordered the super boost roll and said it was incredible. I ordered the rainbow roll and it was also perfectly done. We were all stuffed, and my kids are already begging us to come back again soon. We will certainly be back again soon to try something else since the menu has so many options.

It's very rare for me to do a review and not have pics to accompany it but from entrance to exit I don't think I liked my phone up once. Coworker's company was great but the food really made for a great experience. In addition to that having my coworker speak to the culture of the food made it all the more appreciated. I definitely can't say enough good words about the food and the service and the overall experience. Five stars is all I can give but if there were more this restaurant would well deserve it. Next time I'll have to get pics

    Great authentic Chinese Hot Pot place! The food is fantastic and the service fast and efficient…read moreplus the atmosphere is cool! The prices are very reasonable for the quality of food served! I have eaten here many times and I have tried virtually everything on the menu. With that said, here is my take on it. Everything that I have tried has been delicious! For cold appetizers, I am a big fan of the Black Fungus W. Vinegar Sauce, Cold Spicy Sour Cucumber and the Spicy Beef Tendon. For hot appetizers, everyone raves about the Popcorn Chicken and I concur that it's very good! I really like the Frled Pork Gyoza too. For the main course, they have some rice dishes, but the main focus is the hot pot soups. They bring out a 300°F Stone bowl of broth (in an insulated pot holder) and the ingredients to put in it. You put the meat and lettuce in first, then the other ingredients and the noodles last then wait for "10 seconds"thus the name of the restaurant. I have tried all of the broths and they are all good depending on your tastes. The original broth is the bass broth. Then they add things to the other others to differentiate them. My favorites are the Tomato Soup (especially with Beef Flank) and Spicy Soup. If you like things VERY spicy, they can bring you some cut Thai peppers. The wait staff are patient are very helpful in guiding patrons. They understand that this is a new experience for them. They also pay attention to their customers eating habits. One time when I went in, they noticed that I added lots of chili peppers and chili oil to my food. That's when she said she could bring me some very hot fresh chili peppers. Charlotte is truly blessed to have so many great authentic Chinese body shops popping up all over town! I highly recommend this place! Cheers!
