    This is my favorite Chinese buffet in Charlotte. For weekday evenings, there's usually no wait. The…read morefood is always hot. There is a large variety of chicken, pork, seafood, sushi, salad, and sides. The photo is just one plate of four. One of my favorites that is not depicted is their crawfish. Their spicy seasoning is perfect and they are juicy. I have always gotten good service as a solo diner. The waiters pick up the used plates from your table quickly. It is usually busy when I come in for dinner, but not crammed. The buffets are also kept pretty clean.

    This is very similar to the Hibachi Buffet in Matthews and, in fact, owned by the same person,…read morehowever, I think this place is better. There is a wider selection of food, and it seems fresher. You can find everything from broccoli and chicken, salmon, honey walnut shrimp (though I did not see any walnuts), green beans, mussels, and tilapia to mac and cheese, pizza, fried chicken, and mashed potatoes to grapes, peaches, pineapple and more! They also have a hibachi area. There are more sushi rolls to choose from, and they also have popsicles for the kids. The water feature looks similar, but there are no fish. Staff is very attentive and quickly clean the table of plates as soon as you finish your plate. There is plenty of parking. My only complaints are that the drinking water had a funny taste, and the bathroom is not clean. Otherwise, this is a great place to dine, especially for groups.

    The food here is consistently good. The entrees all arrived hot and nicely seasoned. We…read moreappreciate that they do not cut through the aluminum foil wrapped around the baked potatoes. The salads are freshly made and the prices are reasonable. However the service was unusually slow and tables had not been bussed from the previous rush, which was not typical for this restaurant. I hope this was a one-off event for the restaurant's usual clean floors and tables and not the new standard. I would hate a business with great food is impacted by uncleanliness. I'll definitely give them another chance to correct it by my next visit.

I just need a sprinkle of old bay or something. The sweet potato and butter was good. I would probably return to try other areas.....mini old bay in tow.   #GratuityAdded  #CharlotteEats #Pier51 #CabarrusEats #CabarrusGotALot #hwy29 #charlottefood #charlottenc #cltfoodie #charlottefoodie #friendfish  #charlottesgotalot #exploreclt #charlottefoodies  #cltfoodies #ConcordEats #cltfoodbloggers  #charlottefoodguide  #charlottefoodblogger #eatdrinkconcord

    The food was decent, but unfortunately the service completely ruined the experience. My dad and I…read morewere finishing our meal around 8:45 pm, and the restaurant closes at 9 pm. Our server started pushing us to pay while we were still eating. I politely asked if I could pay at the front like I normally do, but she didn't speak English and became very pushy and rude. They began removing dishes from the table before closing time and before giving any kind of last call. I asked to speak with the manager, but when he arrived he also did not speak English, so there was no real way to properly explain the situation. At 9:01 pm we were basically told to leave. I completely understand restaurants have closing times, but there is a respectful way to handle it, usually by giving customers a heads-up and allowing them time to finish their meal instead of rushing them out the door. As someone who worked in restaurants when I was younger, I know that basic communication and courtesy are essential. What also felt uncomfortable was the atmosphere among the staff. The employees seemed extremely nervous and afraid to speak or explain anything, which made the whole situation feel strange and unsettling. It honestly gave the impression that they were scared to say the wrong thing or do anything outside of strict instructions, which was sad to witness. Overall, the food might be fine, but the service and the way the situation was handled made it a very disappointing experience.

    Went to Supperland for dinner and honestly had a great experience from start to finish. The space…read moreis beautiful -- classy but still comfortable -- and the bar area alone is worth checking out. It has that warm, lively feel that makes you want to hang out and enjoy your time instead of rushing through the meal. We did a wine flight to start, which was a fun way to try a few different pours, and everything paired really well with dinner. The highlight for me was the whole roasted fish. Crispy on the outside, super tender inside, and really clean, fresh flavor. Simple but done really well. Service was on point too -- friendly, attentive, and helpful without hovering. Definitely a spot I'd come back to and one I'd recommend if you're in Charlotte and want a solid dinner with great drinks and atmosphere.

They even still have the 120 year old pews! If you ask your server, you are likely to hear the entire story of the place. It's pretty amazing. They recently received a Michelin recommendation and it's totally deserved. It's a buffet, but most of the hot food is actually served by a person which is something that I particularly appreciate. (I really don't like touching the handles of spoons that hundreds of people have touched.) Some of the stuff is self serve but not any of the hot dishes. Absolutely everything I tried was outstanding. Like everything. There are a few things that they consider "pass around" which means that they are brought over to you by a server at random intervals. For everything else, you just help yourself. I went with a friend of mine who has a deep appreciation for a southern food. He was absolutely amazed. Honestly, I can't think of a better place to have chosen to eat in a short time I had in Charlotte. I've attached a picture of the menu. I tried just about everything. I wasn't disappointed in a single thing, and I was completely wowed by many of them. The servers were wonderful. Very friendly and very willing to talk to us about the history and the food items that were there. Highest recommendation!
