We hadn't been here in about a year and decided to bring our cousins from out of town, which made the experience even more disappointing. We honestly wished we had chosen somewhere else. The food quality here was not like how it was years ago. The biggest issue was the food quality and value. The galbi was $30 per plate and had barely any meat, mostly bones and mixed in with a lot of cabbage. The pieces of meat were extremely small, about the size of a penny, which made it feel completely overpriced. The photo on the menu showed much meatier portions, so what we received felt misleading. We have had galbi at other places with much better portions for less. The japchae was also difficult to eat. The noodles were excessively long, around 2 feet, making it hard to grab and portion onto plates. Typically, japchae noodles are cut to a manageable length. The banchan portions were very small, only enough for about two people. When we asked for more, we were told it would be an additional charge, which was disappointing. Service also impacted our experience. The waitress hovered over our table and repeatedly asked to take plates away while we were STILL eating, which made the meal feel rushed and uncomfortable. We were a party of 4 adults and 2 young kids, ages 4 and 2, and the kids barely ate anything, yet we were still automatically charged a 20% gratuity. That did not feel appropriate given the situation. I am all for supporting small businesses, but when you are charging premium prices for very small portions and the quality does not match, that is where you lose my business. Overall, the portions, pricing, and service did not match expectations. Our $183 bill would've been better off at an AYCE Korean bbq. read more

Loved the spicy soup. Fresh and tasted authentic. They were kind and refilled any of the banchans I asked. Great service. Parking available in plaza. read more

Choi's Korea & Wing - Soft tofu soup - Korean Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

This place has some of the best Korean food in town. [[HIGHLIGHT]]When you walk in, it's a quaint but clean and well decorated space.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The staff is always nice and the service is prompt. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I go between sitting in and taking out depending on how much time I have. If I eat there for lunch I inevitably do take out but for dinner I always sit in[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. I have had their Mandu, Crab Rangoon, Galbi, Beef Japchae and Vegan Japchae all of which are extremely good. I can't pick a favorite, I just switch dishes based on my mood. I cannot wait to branch out and try more of the menu soon. If you love Korean food, this is the place for you. read more

Very delicious Korean spot and in my opinion one of the best in Charlotte. I had the jjajangmyeon noodles (pork) which was soooo good, highly recommend! My girlfriend had the soondubu (seafood) which was just as delicious and it was the perfect amount of spicy! Definitely will come back! read more

Fantastic. More than just good Korean cuisine. This is just great food! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Outside is indicative of an older neighborhood, but inside is bright, vibrant and welcoming.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The menu is amazing. The only question I had was "how can I try it all?" Our server was friendly and expedient while not being too forward. We were seen by three people over the course of the meal who all truly cared about our food and our experience. I cannot wait to return. I want to try everything they offer. The main dishes were scrumptious, but the attention to detail in the side dishes was equally impressive. I have been to Seoul and recall the dining experience to be very much like Choi's in the flavors and how the meal is served. Thank you to this restaurant I look forward to seeing to again! read more

Choi's Korea & Wing - S8. Kimbap S9. Mandu R1 Dolsot (Stone Bowl) Bibimbap - Korean Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Went here on a whim and boy did we find a gem. One of the best places to get jiajiamen and kimbap. The banchan as you can see are lacking in portion and variety/taste was not the best. However, everything g else was above expectation that they deserve the 5 star! I'll be coming back to try their cold noodle and their soups next time! read more

Love the food here. They do a great job with bon chon, fast service, and authentic! I recommend the wings and kimchee jjigae!

I was in the mood for a hearty meal after driving for eight hours. Luckily Choi's was very close to my hotel. It's small and cozy and the wait staff is very friendly. I enjoyed a meal of pork belly buns as an appetizer and had the spicy pork entrée. Everything was very delicious. The buns were fresh and tender and the pork belly was perfectly seasoned. The spicy pork entrée came out steaming hot on a platter with onions and scallions. Excellent gochujang flavor without being too hot. It came with a side of rice and banchan, including potato salad, pickled cucumber, kimchi, and noodles. Of course I had no room for dessert. Would definitely recommend this place if you're in the area and in the mood for Korean food. read more

Most authentic Korean food I have found to date. Korean food is comfort food for me as my mother and grandmother have since departed. This is the first place I have found that makes Ja Jang Myun the way I remember it over 40 years ago. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The staff is polite and it is very clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

We have been here a bunch of times now and I can say with 100% certainty that you need to come here. I'll start with the service. It is fantastic. Obviously everyone is super nice but they are incredibly accommodating to allergies. My significant other has celiacs and the owner actually came out the first few visits to ensure he had options. ( she is so kind every time we come) She explained everything and recommended meals like the kimchi pancakes which she made GF for us. It was so good by the way. Since our first visit, they even added a GF menu. The staff is pretty knowledgeable but if they don't know they always ask which is amazing. Every single menu item we have had has been exceptional. If you aren't sure what to get, just ask and they can recommend something that you will most definitely enjoy. The restaurant has a chill vibe. The tvs are always on and music is playing. We have always been seated promptly and we will continue to come back!! read more

I was happy to hear that this place reopened...so we decided to make it a family night here. First of all, I loved the renovations to the place...went up a notch in ambiance for sure! Also, there were multiple TV screens playing different K-Pop performances...and that was very in sync with the many restaurants in Koreatowns (Duluth, LA and NYC). A/C was great...and the general vibe was really comfy and entertaining! Now the food. We ordered several items...from Korean Street Food Sampler, to Seafood Pancake and Tangsuyuk, to Pork Katsu and Wings. First of all, I have to mention that I found it very odd (particular?) that the Tangsuyuk was included in the appetizer portion of the menu (instead of the entree portion)... whereas it was entree priced at $28. Also, rice didn't come with the order...meaning, I had to add it for extra 2 bucks (or was it 5?). This was a first for me (not in a good way!)...in a Korean restaurant. The Tangsuyuk itself tasted good enough, but the texture was way too hard (not only crunchy, but just hard to eat?). From my experience, the best Tangsuyuks were crispy, yet soft at the same time. I know...sounds impossible, but for folks that have had lots of authentic Tangsuyuk, they know what I mean. I just was not a fan of this dish here...especially with its weird listing/pricing format. I was also not impressed with the Street Food Sampler. For some reason, I expected better...in taste and presentation? The same with the Seafood Pancake. I liked the crispiness, but it just wasn't one of the better versions I've had. I don't know...I just got back from Duluth, so maybe I'm being a bit picky?? This place used to be value-priced, but just can't say that anymore. The new price points here are about as high as (or possibly higher??) that of a much more sophisticated MOA in uptown. Also, I feel that the foods used to be more authentic before. If I had to guess, the kitchen staff may not be Korean. My husband and son felt the same...the foods were not bad, but just not great (not authentic), and the pricing just didn't fit. Believe me, as a Korean, I WANT to love this place...but I just can't sugarcoat it. I thought the foods were good, but not quite great. Again, I loved the upgraded ambiance, but I just didn't think the foods matched it. Service was also just OK. The waitress was friendly enough, but seemed too distracted or busy. We didn't get any water refills, for one. Also, our appetizers were VERY delayed. We actually got our appetizers about the same time as our entrees. Sadly, a bit disappointed with the food and service...but am still glad this place reopened. I've had their Jjangmyun several times in the past (under the old management), and I really liked it...so maybe that's what I should have stuck with?? Still, I am definitely open to trying other things on the menu. Maybe I'll like the foods (and the service) more next time, and hopefully I can bump up the ratings? read more

This was our second visit to Choi's Korea & Wings, and we enjoyed it just as much as the first. [[HIGHLIGHT]]My wife and I loved the cozy, authentic Korean vibe--complete with K-pop music and videos playing, which really set the atmosphere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food was tasty and satisfying, and the sake was especially yummy.

Choi's Korea & Wing - Spicy Pork Bibimbap - Korean Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

I was really anticipating this would be a great restaurant but it wasn't meant to be today. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The night before, it was very crowded there so a return visit for lunch today was the goal.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] After being seated quickly, I ordered JaJaing mein noodles with pork and a side order of the potstickers. The noodles looked and tasted great but I found out there was no pork, just bits of seafood consisting of shrimp and octupus. I called the server over and told her she brought the wrong dish. She asked if I wanted her to order another one and I said no. After she apologized for writing down the wrong order, she proceeded to charge me the seafood price after the check arrived. I stopped her and said the check was incorrect and she had a dificult time understanding why I was asking for a correction to the bill? Once she figured out the solution to charge me for the pork and not the seafood version, I told her this remedy was fair, even though a good restaurant would have probably removed the charge for the mistake. Potstickers were average, and overall I was pretty disappointed with the experience. I decided I won't be returning back to this place in the future. read more

Best Korean I have had since I was in college and had a restaurant that the owners just came from Korea.

Quick lunch pick up from Choi's Korea and Wings was the best decision I made today. I placed an order for 2 Kimbap, the 6 piece Korean Spicy Fried Chicken Wing and the Dolsot Bibimbap. I was told to go to drive thru to pick up my order. From order to pick up it was about 15 minutes. The Spicy wings pack some heat but are not unbearable. The Kimbap was a hit. The dipping sauce is kinda sour but compliments the kimbap. The nibblings love that there was beef and crab inside the kimbap. I think their favorite was the Bibimbap. They only ate the beef from the dish but they gobbled it up. I've never had bibimbap like this before with cabbage in it but I enjoyed it. My mom was a little worried about ordering from Choi's but I'm so glad we did. Choi's definitely is the poster child for don't judge a book by it's cover. Choi's has an extensive menu and I will be back to try more. Choi's Korea and Wings 808 E Arrowood Rd Charlotte, NC 28217 Tuesday May 18, 2021 2:30pm (Review 491 overall, 35 in 2021) read more

I used to come to this restaurant so often because my office is close by. However, I noticed the quality and quantity of the feed slowly declining. At my last visit, I got the seafood and tofu stew and it tasted off. I had it multiple times in the past so I could tell right away. I didn't saw anything which was my mistake. Unfortunately that night, I got extreme food poisoning and I was 7 months pregnant. Fortunately baby and I are okay but I have not been back since. read more

One of the best authentic Korean restaurant in Charlotte area. From appetizers the banchan, chicken wings and shrimp pancakes are so delicious. The spicy pork are cooked in a skillet with some veggies and Korean spicy sauce. The bibimbap is one of the best I ever had, so much flavored and just enough portions to fill you up. The service were exceptional, our server was friendly, promptly refilled our drinks and checked on us if we needed anything. read more

Choi's Korea & Wing is awesome! I have been doing business with them since the 1990s and they never disappoint! They have Chinese and Korean food plus wings. What they do, they do well! I mostly go for the Korean food as there aren't many Korean restaurants in Charlotte (especially south Charlotte). They have all of the Chinese food standards and they pull them off nicely. I think their wings are some of the best in town. OK, now for the Korean food. Dolsot Be Bim Bop is my favorite Korean dish and they do it right! It has bulgogi and lots of vegetables in a hot stone bowl with a sunny side up egg on top. They also have a spicy pork version which is very nice as well. It comes with up to five side dishes that are made in-house! This is a great place that has been around a long time and it's a true gem! You won't be disappointed! read more

Choi's Korea and Wings is a great spot if you're craving some Korean food. I feel as if their cook or recipe has changed as it does not taste like authentic Korean food they used to have. I didn't get the chance to take a picture of their banchon, but even their banchon or side dishes was not abundant as it used to be. Over all I still love their seafood pancake and ja jangmyun but less flavorful. Our server was extremely sweet and even offered to help me pack my left overs. read more

My family and I love this restaurant! Everything we order is always so good. Our typical order includes the bibimbap, seafood pancake, cold noodle soup. Last week we tried the jajangmyon and kimbap and both were just as delicious as expected. Portion sizes are great and the service is so friendly and kind. The owner & servers recognize us because we love coming here so much. Prices are a bit high but typical for a Korean restaurant in Charlotte considering how limited they are in this city. They were closed for a bit a few years ago, so we'd much rather pay the price for great food than not have them at all :( Highly recommend! read more

Today was my second visit to this fabulous establishment. I was not disappointed. I love that their food is very tasty and thoughtfully prepared. The food is prepared fresh and their ingredients are fresh. It is so refreshing to go to a restaurant where the staff are friendly, smiling and actually appreciate your business. The restaurant was full with dinners today. I did note that it was very quiet in the dinning area... everyone was savoring this delicious food. read more

Minae Choi violated my ADA rights when I attempted to patronize her restaurant with my service animal. She demanded that I produce Service Animal documentation and would not hear of anything else. I attempted to explain how the ADA works I even tried to show her the ADA website pertaining to restaurants in North Carolina I told her it was illegal to ask for documentation for my service animal but she continued to refuse service to her restaurant. At one point I asked if she was the owner or manager but she refused to answer any of my questions. As an American citizen I find it especially discriminatory when a restaurant from another culture refuses to abide by Government laws and rules just because they pretend to not understand. As a disabled person I should be able to enjoy my life without being discriminated against! I have filed a complaint with the ADA in regards to this incident. https://www.ada.gov/topics/service-animals/ read more

Choi's Korea & Wing - Bibimbap with beef - Korean Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

We came here for a coworkers going away lunch recently. Let's start with how great Korean food is. There isn't a whole lot of it in Charlotte, but this place has you covered. I went with the Dolsot Bibimbop. It was really good. I added the sauce that they put on the table to it which was a great addition. The only thing that made me sad was that the sizzling bowl cooked the egg too much so it wasn't runny. They also give you bon chons for the table to share which are really good. My favorites were the kimchi and the picked radish. If you're looking for Korean food, this is one of the best places in Charlotte to get it. read more

Like Jon Snow, I know nothing, well, about Korean food anyway. I've been to Super G's, PePeRo, and now here. Ignorance, unlike stupidity, can be fixed, so I'm learning. I know I like a lot of what I tasted here. My Yelp buddy, Fleece P suggests, "Always take friends who want Korean here." Great! So I showed up with 20+ other Yelpers for their monthly International Supper Club. The pre-fixe menu provided us a tour of their most popular courses, and for $25 p.p., such a deal. The service, btw, was spectacular. My water must have been filled 10x and I never saw it empty. Nice! With all we sampled (see pic of menu below), my favorites were the wings (spicy and sticky--finger lickin' kinda good), and the BiBimBAP. It was served in a scorching hot pot with an egg luring you to ooze it all over the rice below. The longer the rice sat in the bottom, the crunchier it became (as God intended I've been told). Mmmm. I am very happy that Choi's entertained our group. Very gracious and kind. Looking to expand your culinary experience and stay within your budget? I say "Give 'em a whirl" and see what all the hubbub is about. read more

Keeping in mind that there are not a lot of Korean restaurants in the area, this place is decent. I ordered the kimchi jigae and overall, it was good, but I could taste the dashida (msg), it was a little overpowering. I took the rest home and dumped a bunch of water in the pot and it tasted way better the 2nd time around :). My cousin ordered the Jambbong and that was really good, super refreshing and the noodle texture was good too. I also think they used a little too much msg. Don't get my wrong, there's nothing wrong with msg in my book but putting too much can completely overpower the dish. If they cut down on that a little bit I think this place would be so much better. The banchan side dishes were okay. The cucumber was my fav but everything else was ok, the potato salad tasted like american style potato salad but I was expecting korean style potato salad which is completely different. I know I'll be back at some point the next time I'm visiting but I'll remember to ask to go light on the MSG. read more

They were always on my must-try list but never got to check them out. Since they are closing down, we had to visit them before they did.
