Met up with a friend here for dinner and while the meal was great, the parking situation is not. Yes, Waverly has a few good parking areas but they're not adjacent to the CO entrance so I was walking in the cold drizzle. Inside, I warmed up with a big bowl of their Curry Laksa. Shredded chicken in a spicy coconut broth with all sorts of veggies and mixed with rice noodles. Perfectly delicious on a cold afternoon. Service was good and friendly. Our waiter didn't mind my friend and I sticking around for an hour as it wasn't too busy. He did refill our drinks which was appreciated.

Last week I went back to Co during happy hour. It's been almost a year since I've dined here, and it was just as I remembered. The server was attentive and the apps came out quickly. You can't beat their happy hour specials. It's worth the visit, even if there is a little wait. read more

great food and fantastic service by Jeremy tonight. best experience we have had in terms of service.

Popped in because we were craving some noodles and sushi. Unfortunately the sushi wasn't available, maybe they called out? But the food was still good and the service was great as always. read more

I've written several reviews here, but I felt compelled to write again because the service was amazing! Well, I misordered something on their menu. Their "Pork Baos" are a bit misleading in that it's not the typical Pork Buns that you'll get from other Asian restaurants. Their Pork Baos are actually more like Dim Sum. Anyway, the waitress quickly offered to take back the misordered item, and replaced it with the Pork Buns...which turned out to be Excellent, especially because of its plentiful veggies...even the peanuts on the side. Think this was the second time dining here, where the waitress offered to take back a misordered item. Though misleading on the menu (Make sure you get Pork BUNS, not Pork BAO!), don't think all restaurants will replace items at no cost so easily. For this alone, I'm upping this to 5 stars I also tried their Spicy Crunchy Tuna Rolls, and they were delish! I only wished there were some other veggie in the roll, aside from the seaweed. Still, really, really good...so no regrets. I've had some hit and miss experience at the other Park Road location, but my experiences here at the Waverly location have been good. I will say, however, that I always thought that the menu is a tad pricey...but after several experiences here, I feel that the service and ambiance made up for it. Overall, I love the eclectic Asian Fusion menu here, and I'm sure I'll be back to try more items in the future. If the weather holds, I hope to try their patio next time... read more

Took my daughter out for a birthday dinner at CO...very nice place, great location, and we were able to enjoy dinner sitting outside on the patio. Our server Taylor was excellent making sure we had everything we needed. Decided to order a number of plates to sample and share so we selected five different small plates, appetizers, and main dishes. Taylor did a great job spacing the dishes out and bringing something new when we had finished. The dishes we had... Pork & Ginger Goyza (pan fried): These were exceptional. The outer skin was perfect with just enough crust and the pork & ginger center was delectable. Pork & Crab Spring Roll: Unimpressed...the insides were a bit gooey and there wasn't much flavor here. Buns Pork Belly: Very good...nice flavors and the pork belly was very tender. A bit more Hoisin sauce would have really made these extremely good. Thai Basic Chicken: Overall the dish was OK but a bit salty. Bahn Mi Katsu (crispy chicken): I love Vietnamese sandwiches, this was disappointing and the flavors were bland. Overall you can get a good and somewhat unusual meal here, but I didn't see the consistency in offerings to make this place exceptional. read more

Service was great! Our server was attentive and friendly. Gave us recco's on drinks and appetizers. Spicy Rangoon was okay. Not a lot of crab flavor and the spiciness was overwhelming. I ordered the Pho and my friend got the drunken noodles with tofu. We both were underwhelmed again but it was decent. read more

I'd been wanting to try this place for a while. Came here with a couple of girlfriends and was unfortunately consistently underwhelmed. The hostess was rude. Our server seemed very busy and forgot several items throughout evening, including one of my friend's ENTIRE meal until the END of dinner. She never came back to make sure we received all of our food and we couldn't get her attention to flag her down and let her know that we were still missing several items. The food was just ok. Honestly none of us were terribly upset that we never received several of the things we ordered because the items that did make it to our table were mostly extremely bland, small portioned dishes that were at best, painfully underwhelming (especially given the price point). The only silver lining was the cocktails. We each tried a different one and they were all extremely good! Unfortunately the delicious cocktails weren't enough to salvage this experience. Considering how overpriced it is for such an extremely disappointing experience, I don't plan to go back. read more

I'm not normally one to write negative reviews, however I hope honest feedback may get management's attention and help bring out much needed changes. I'm unsure we'll ever return at this point, and if I feel this way, I'm probably not the only customer with these sentiments. I ordered takeout this evening and was incredibly shocked out how poorly it was made. Having gone to 3 different Co restaurants over the years, and had this dish (Pad Thai) nearly an dozen times, I know this was a far cry from how the dish is meant to be made. Additionally, this dish was $20 post tax, and it seems they couldn't even be bothered to make it fresh and how it's meant to be served. Shocking. The pad thai was dried out, looked like it was made yesterday and microwaved. A plethora of dry rice noodles, 4-5 carrot shreds (yes i even counted), no cilantro, black/shriveled green onion, and 6-7 pieces of small chicken bits. The past 2 times I have gone to this location in person the food was not that great and service was always really sporadic/no specific server to the table, entree dishes coming out 10-15 min apart, etc. Sadly, this may be the last straw and I am not sure I will ever go back after this. Photos for reference-- tonight's dish, and the same exact dish this summer in Charleston. read more

FES up: F(ood): Flavor packed! All four of us enjoyed our meals including the vegan salad. I had the Ahi Tuna Stack - fresh, well put together and the wonton crisps crisp yet had enough density to eat the tuna on it. I went with the Curry Laska and added shrimp. I was pleased with amount of shrimp- also size medium and deveined. Soo delicious! I ate every drop. The spice was just enough for me and the curry and coconut a great combination. I loved how I could add as many or as little herbs and bean sprouts as I wanted. E(nvironment): Tables pretty packed in there but cool lighting and decor. S(ervice): Server took a bit to get to use but it was a busy Thursday. She was knowledgable about the menu and able to help suggest some items if we have her some direction. Drinks were kept filled. read more

Came with the family for an early Sunday dinner and was blown away. Food was beyond delicious and had great drinks. Friendly service that was able to provide recommendations on food, cocktails and wine. Very quiet when we came but it was early for dinner. Spicy Crab Rangoon, a little smaller than most places but AMAZING. Chicken Katsu .. AMAZING. Highly recommend read more

I have been eating at CO for close to 4 years. I first discovered them while living in Atlanta and was thrilled to see them with 2 locations in Charlotte. I usually eat at the park road location but within the last few months we have started eating at the Waverly location. Today something really jumped out at me during my visit...this location has too many high school kids working as servers and it really shows with the poor quality of customer service that we receive at this location. We sat outside on the patio to avoid the covid germs with the tight seating inside and unfortunately due to 4-5 friends of the hostess arriving and sitting outside on the patio waiting for her to get off from work a quiet peaceful dinner was impossible. The food as always was fresh and did not disappoint. Ordered the cheese wontons, Korean beef bowl, com chien fried rice, Malaysian chili wings and my son had the chicken katsu. My only comment to the owner and manager would be to please hire some adults to work and please put some more meat in the dishes. At these prices we should not have to fight to find beef in the Korean beef bowl. It would also be great if some other options would be added to the dessert menu....two items is just not enough! read more

CO is a go-to spot for me to get curry laksa. It's delicious here and you get a massive portion! I have also enjoyed their ahi tuna dishes as appetizers. Service is usually good, it's an upscale casual kind of vibe but not fancy. I would generally try to go here when they have their happy hours specials- those are the best deals! read more

One of my favorite spots for Chicken Pad Thai! Always a great go-to for me. This was my first time visiting the Waverly location. Just as good as Park Road spot. A little smaller and doesn't seem as crowded. The food - as always - was fantastic. My favorite drink at CO is the Blackberry Bourbon Fizz cocktail. Not too strong and not too sweet. Very tasty! I definitely recommend the Pork & Ginger Gyoza as a starter. And then I always go with the Chicken Pad Thai. They go heavy on the onions and they are big, so I get it without onions. WARNING: Their spicy is very spicy. CO does a scale of 1 to 3 spice level. I go level 2 and it makes me sweat. 1 being the weakest and 3 spiciest. Good luck with level 3, and let me know how you handle it!! read more

This place is pretty cute. I love the fusion menu! I'm leaving a review now but you can expect an update once I try everything on the menu. We started with the beef & kimchi dumplings which were delicious, great flavor. I personally had the Kung fu crunch and the Fiji salmon rolls both were amazing with the exception they they were on the smaller side for the price. I was a little disappointed with that. My friend had the korean bowl and loved it. There was quite a bit of kimchi sauce so it was spicy but yummy nonetheless. We ended with the crispy cheesecake wontons. I thought that the filling would be cold and more of a cheesecake consistency but it was more like a melted custard. Either way, it was still very tasty. Can't wait to come back and try more!! read more

I'm glad we finally tried this spot. Overall, it's solid but I wouldn't go out of my way to come here. 1. Their 20 mins wait was more like a 40 mins wait. 2. The server was friendly and helpful. Her service was quick and not overbearing. 3. The food was good overall but not amazing by any means. I got the spicy chicken pho and the flavor was great. However, the chicken was sooooo dry wow. read more

Love CO! I love the spicy Udon noodles with chicken, it is my go-to meal there. Recently I have been trying the sushi, especially on the days (sorry, can't remember when) the sushi is half-priced (happy-hour). Try to go early as it can get busy near normal dinner times and there is not reservations. Outside eating area is nice, staff is good depending on who you get. Meals come out quick, which I like... read more

The venue is nice enough but the food is awful and overpriced. Nothing we ate was good, but the kids meals in particular were a joke. I don't mean "not to our preference", I mean objectively bad. Stale ingredients, preprepared way in advance, dry, and just tough to eat. read more

We tried this place for our love for Asian food, and because we have been to CO in savannah and totally loved their wings! So we ordered their wings and edamame for the appetizers. Edamame was plain with salt seasoning. Wings came out pretty cold - although the sauce itself was delicious, I could not enjoy cold wings at all. Wings were disappointing and hence this rating. Drinks were nice - between my husband, myself and our friends we tried a variety and liked it overall. Entrees were delicious - we got their curry laska with chicken and pad Thai - delicious and sumptuous quantity. read more

Great, fresh food every time. Wonderful Asian fusion that provides a great variety of choices on every visit!

Terrible experience. Place was sooo cold, but only a few people ,so we stayed for quick dinner.Watch showed it was 58° inside! We ordered & ate quickly, but took 20 minutes to get bill. The amount was wrong ...took another 25 minutes to get corrected one. Will never go back read more

Overall, this place is pretty good! Got takeout and the food was ready quite quickly, about 15 mins. From what I could tell, seating is a little limited inside but the outdoor seating in Waverly is generally nice vibez. Pad thai w/ tofu ($17.5) - you have a choice of protein and add-ons, and the tofu was very good. The noodles were a little sticky, but overall had a nice flavor. We split each dish so the portion size shown is much smaller than what is given, but I think the portion size is pretty decent. Spicy udon noodles ($17.5) - def recommend this dish. it is on the spicier side, but had delicious flavor that's hard to find elsewhere. Thai green curry ($18) - the coconut milk flavor was a little too strong imo, so the curry felt too sweet. also, the portion size for the curry felt a little too big, so i'd recommend choosing from the noodle dishes or smaller side dishes. read more

Food: I had the Katsu Chicken rice bowl. Amazing! get extra sesame aioli! I also had the pork and ginger dumplings. Top notch! 10 out of 10 Service: Matteo was a gracious waiter. 5 stars! Ambience: Inside seating is small and quaint; so it doesn't get too loud. Will visit again read more

All I can say is chef's kiss to alllll of this!!! You're missing out if you don't try everything at least once.

Reluctant to give the second star, but the service and ambiance were the only redeeming qualities. The food is portioned poorly for the price and ratio of key parts to a dish seem skimped on to save money on their part. Gave them a second try to see if they improved since opening day, but cannot say they have honestly. read more

We both got the Curry laksa dish. The chicken in the curry tasted like freshly microwaved chicken and gave the whole dish a horrible taste. Was not impressed at all and will not be returning. Also got their most popular sushi roll. It was mediocre at best read more

If you are looking for great sushi and or some fusion options, this place is a must try. We have been to this restaurant at least 4 times and have tried many items from the lengthy menu. There are so many options available and we have yet to sample anything that we haven't enjoyed. I truly do not always like sushi restaurants but this one offers such a variety and everything has tasted fresh. There is outdoor and indoor seating available. For family's with babies or toddlers, you can get a high chair. However I don't believe there is a changing table in the bathroom as a heads up. read more

2nd visit here has proven to be a much better experience. The lunch crowd was full as I would expect. The wait staff were handling it. My Order came out in reasonable time considering the place was packed. Sushi roll, dumplings & edamame. All were fabulous! The firecracker roll is delicious! Good for lunch ? Yes ... definitely two thumbs way up ! Food was good but service was incredibly slow. A total of 10 guests in the restaurant 5 tables. It took 20 minutes to get my order of dumplings and sushi roll. Never got offered a refill of beverage . I'll chalk this up to just opening and give this a chance to get better. Surely they'll get better. read more

Fantastic asian fusion food! I love the pad Thai entree and the drunken noodles are my Favorite! The pork gyoza dumplings are delicious. Likewise for the spicy tuna roll sushi. I love the korean bowl when I am super hungry with the spicy sauce. And their thai iced tea is amazing and really sweet like I enjoyed it! Service is excellent and parking can be crowded so plan ahead and park in the deck behind the hotel. Definitely worth several trips to eat all their yummy food! read more

Chicken pad Thai with extra lime was the order. Wad o Pad Thai is was what I received, asked several times for the Extra limes. The mean needed. Had a whopping 4 small pieces of chicken, I could not find the egg. Very Little to no spice. The pork roll was good the other rolls were not at all. The Tempura shrimp in one of the rolls was made a long time ago as there was no crunch at all and was a bit on the rubbery side an un pleasing. When we had to ask for soy (we ordered sushi, Soy should have been brought). We received two soy bowls, not a bottle of soy. Lastly, very noisy and cold. And the service was such I only tipped 10% where it is my practice to tip 20%. Net net, if in the mode for Thai, I will go to a Thai restaurant, if sushi is my mood, I will go to a sushi restaurant. It is very unlikely I will be back. read more

The restaurant inside is nice and the service was mostly good. The only thing that went wrong was the taste of the food. The pho is strangely sweet and the spices are incredibly overpowering. For such an expensive dish, I could not eat it. It's almost as if they put a cup of sugar in the broth and steeped their spices way too long. I was extremely disappointed because I had hoped to find a place nearby with authentic tasting pho but this pho tasted so strange. I also ordered the summer spring rolls and I order Vietnamese food very often from many different states, and their pork was so strange. It was almost like jerky and had red dye around the edges, I had never seen that before and it did not taste pleasant. I wish the food had tasted good because I really wanted to like this place. I will not be back because it's too expensive for food that tastes so strange and inedible. read more

I love CO so much! I love the udon, Curry or the Pad Thai! I always get a Buddha roll and dip it in the peanut sauce. If they have availability sit at the bar! The cocktails are delicious and the staff is super friendly! They do close early if it says 10pm get there before 9. read more

Although the food we ended up ordering was great, 4 of 5 items we wanted were unavailable due to an issue with the refrigeration. Though we understand things happen, we ultimately did not get to order what we wanted. Being in the food industry, the service was good and we left a good tip, but it would have been nice had the GM come and offered something or at least addressed the inconvenience. read more

Both noodle soup dishes, the pho and the curry laksa was salty. When we left the restaurant, both our mouths were dry from the soups. The pho both was good, but salty. There wasn't much meat in it and the portion was rather small compared to any Vietnamese shops in Charlotte for $15. Sushi was okay, nothing special about it but for $14 it probably wasn't really worth it. Overall with the service, this place was just okay and quite pricey for what was offered. read more
