New place I had to try. I'm a lover of Pho so naturally I had to try the Curry Laksa. Very flavorful dish. Large portion sizes, I had to take a togo box. I also tried mango summer rolls and the sake. All was great, really loved the sake infusion. read more

The vibe of this place is awesome. Big city trendy meets low key local. We were seated right away, and our server (Yu-nais) was awesome. Our food came out really quick and our hungry bellies were more than satisfied. We ordered the beef and kimchi dumplings as an appetizer. They were a perfect mix of spices to make them spicy, but still tasty. I'm not a huge fan of things being spicy just to be spicy, so these were great. We shared them and both wished we had gotten our own. My husband even drank the rest of the sauce with a spoon! I ordered the spring geisha sushi roll. It was light and fresh and actually stuck together when trying to eat it with chopsticks. I appreciate that in sushi. My husband ordered the spicy udon. This was very spicy, but still also had good flavor. The wok noodles had such an interesting texture (in a good way). There were a good amount of vegetables and chicken in it too. He was extremely impressed throughout the meal, he also blew his nose multiple times. It was really spicy. There was also this other sauce that they bring to the table that he added into it. He loved it so much that he got a small container of it to go! Overall we loved CO. The atmosphere is fun and the food was really good, each dish tasted very different from the other. My only complaint would be that we ran out of water a few times and the water had to be taken to the back to be refilled. This was hard when you're eating spicy food and need water right away haha. Other than that, it was great and we will definitely be back! read more

Went on a Wednesday at 7 and there was no wait for our party of 6. We all were very happy with our meals and very pleased with the specials they offered. Speciality cocktails are only $5 on Wednesday, even if you aren't sitting at the bar. Normally around $10. Appetizers: beef and kimchi dumplings were awesome!!! Enjoyed the mango fresh rolls as well. Meals: curry laksa was awesome! A little heat but balanced with the coconut milk. This is essentially a curry soup with noodles instead of rice. Friend said the pad Thai was one of the best he's had in town. Will definitely be back to take advantage of all of the happy hour food specials at the bar. read more

I came here last night (Thursday) with a group of 5. We arrived at 6 to take advantage of HH specials ($3-$5 food specials) and 1/2 sushi, which they offer week days from 4-6:30, but HH goes till 7. We sat at a table vs. the bar and were told we would only be able to take advantage of the HH specials at the bar, which is typical. We were a little disappointed, but could still take advantage of 1/2 off sushi, plus on Thursdays they offer 1/2 off all sake! My favorite sushi rolls of the night were the Firecracker (tempura shrimp, cucumber, avocado, spicy tuna, sriracha, spicy aioli, masago) and the Jersey roll (tuna, yellowtail, spicy salmon, avocado, cucumber, spicy aioli). Can you tell I like spicy?! We also had two beef rolls, which were unique- made with kobe beef and wagyu beef. All of the rolls ranged from $12-$15, but with half off sushi specials they were definitely worth it! We also tried 3 different sakes, two of which were sake infusions served cold. The cucumber sake was refreshing, but the blackberry sake was the winner of the night. It was so delicious! If you're not a fan of typical hot sake, you should try the infusions. Overall, great time at Co last night. We saw a couple of noodle and rice dishes come out of the kitchen and they looked amazing. We will definitely return sometime soon! read more

Worst food and service I've had in years! I tried my entree and the other 5 at the table and nothing was very good. The steamed pork dumplings small plate was the only good thing we ate. Waitress was lacked attentiveness and everything was slow and only warm temperature wise. Half the food came out then 5-10 minutes later the other half came out. I'd give no stars if I could. read more

sashimi was good but we got charged twice. when we were ordering we asked how many pieces does it come with. server said "2 or 4 i think" he was wrong. it comes with 3 which was what we wanted and he charged us like $15. n when we asked about the price he said well i thought you both wanted 4 each. like why are you guessing? then i asked if he had a small side of fried rice and he brought a huge one that was $8. overall the service was awful. he did not want to be there AT ALL. like sorry we came in 1 HOUR before u guys close. i even asked if it was okay bc i am a server so i understand. but i would not recommend this place at all. it was our first n last time eating here. read more

The food was amazing and the restaurant itself was beautiful. The curry laksa had a rich coconut curry broth with succulent chicken and shrimp. I also ordered the steamed buns, beef and kimchi dumplings, and chicken wings. I loved everything and would definitely recommend this restaurant. read more

I have been so excited to try this restaurant and I was seriously disappointed in the service we were provided. First and foremost, the food was great. Everything we ate tasted awesome, but the service was the worse we have ever had. We ordered 3 courses off of the restaurant week menu, and it took us 1 full hour to be served the first course. We ended up taking our entrees to go because it was taking so long for everything to come out We ate 2 of 3 courses in the restaurant and were there for 2 hours. The fastest thing to be brought to is was the check, Our drinks were never refilled and it took 30 minutes to get a beer. If you love Asian food and spending hours in a restaurant with no food or refreshments, go here. If you like efficient and attentive service go elsewhere. It's too expensive to be treated poorly as a guest. read more

This place is awesome! I had the spicy Beef Pho and the Cambodian roll (out of this world). It's an easy location with lots of parking around and pretty cool decor inside. If you are in Meyers park and in the mood for some Pho or sushi I would totally recommend this place!! read more

CO - Spicy beef Pho and Cambodian roll! - Vietnamese Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Had dinner at CO for restaurant week. This was a really cool place. We went at about 7pm on Saturday, knowing they do not take reservations. Kind of annoying and don't understand it, but whatever. We waited an hour and a half for our food but it was worth the wait. For the first course we tried the pork & ginger gyoza and the beef and kimchi dumplings. The beef and kimchi was ok but the pork was delicious. With the 1st course we also had the Sparkling Pineapple sake which was very good. The second course we had the Vietnamese Chicken Salad and the Green Papaya Salad. Hands down the Papaya salad was amazing. Was so tasty and the flavors were just very intense. For the 3rd course we had the Korean Rice Bowl and the Curry Laksa. I was so jealous that my husband ordered the curry. That was the best thing I have ever tasted. It was so rich and creamy. The Korean Rice Bowl was very lacking. Way too much rice and not enough meat. The flavors weren't that great either. For dessert we had the cheesecake wontons and Strawberry Spring rolls. Both were great but the Vietnamese coffee with the Pecan Vodka was amazing. The coffee was so strong but amazing! Overall I really liked this place. read more

Food was good. Second time we've been there. Each time the service was very bad and expected it to get better the second time was ignored had to ask for menus never checked on during the meal would normally go back to the food but with such poor service no intensives of going back read more

Mixed bag of ok to go hum food, bad service, mediocre decor. The Green Curry is the standout meal. Huge portion, great mix of flavors. What they call the "broth noodles" are ok, but not good enough to make me forego the Green Curry usually. The wait staff is comically, and consistently, inattentive. And I think the prices are high for what it is, which is to say: middle of the road food in a setting that wants to be trendy, but isn't. The other locations look cooler. If you want better, similar food in a cooler setting, nearby, for better prices, head to Thai Taste or Zen Asian Fusion in Dillworth. Co is only a place to jump into if you're already at the Park Road Shopping Center and too lazy to drive to better options. read more

Curry Laksa is so delicious. Tasty with fresh ingredients and herbs. Strongly recommend. Their Sushi is good too. I give a 5 star for Curry Laska and a 3 star for Sushi. read more

We loved this place! The sushi is great and so are the drinks and service! Will definitely be back!

I went to this restaurant with a few friends for a late dinner and drinks. First of all it was beautiful inside and the staff was very friendly. I split the blackberry sake and it was some of the best I have had. I also tried the pineapple which was good but a little too sweet for me. My rice bowl was bursting with flavor and the portion was huge! I will be back again! read more

Guys y'all can go through my Yelp account and look through it. I don't give bad reviews, I rather promote businesses and help my city grow. Being a business owner myself I take my feed back into consideration if there is a negative one. But this place. Jesus Christ himself could change water into wine but can he change shit into a gourmet meal? Probably not. Asian in fused food, viet food. My cultures food. THIS PLACE IS AN INSULT TO VIETNAMESE PEOPLE, FOOD AND THE COUNTRY ITSELF! it's that fucking bad. They must of used the unwashed ass hole of a pig to make their pork banh mi, I don't know what they are thinking or how could they possibly fuck up the taste of simple Vietnamese cooking. And the prices wow seriously, ok I'll be considerate and understand that rent for that area is probably way higher than other locations and the place looks nice. But u are selling a menu not the view. No it's not one bad experience so it's not from just a bad day, it's being dragged out with friends that also wanted to try it. Their comments and opinions are the same as mine but since I payed I'll comment on it. The American people that eaten here and liked it. It's ok it's not your fault u don't know what things are suppose to taste like. read more

I love Co. Family in town - let's go to Co! Date night - let's go to Co! Girls night out - ooh let's go to Co!! Dinner out with the hubs and kid - Co it is! Something about this place keeps me coming back. Well, that 'something' might be the gauva jalapeño margarita or the drunken noodles or may be the chicken pho? I mean, there's a long list of somethings... And that includes the chic ambiance, good service and the fact that they're pretty kid friendly. That becomes an important criteria when you want to dine out at a nice place, and you want to bring the lil one along. While I've never sat at their bar, they have a really neat looking bar! During these summer months, I love sitting outside (despite the less than comfortable couches), sipping one of their many delicious cocktails and eating one of their delicious noodle dishes. The rice and noodle dishes are my favorite, but they have a pretty extensive menu ranging from Bahn mi and sushi to larger plates. If you haven't been there yet, you're missing out.. read more

I think this place has potential to be excellent and I want to love it, but last night there were some issues. It took almost an hour for our sushi rolls to come out. Then another 40 minutes or so to get our main dishes. My dish came out 10 minutes after the 3 others at my table got theirs. The waitress did apologize a couple times for the slow wait times, but they really need to get it together. The good: Sushi was amazing. We had the pork belly and the spicy tuna crunch. I also had the drunken thai noodles which were very good. Atmosphere in this place is amazing. The bad: inexcusably long wait times for food. Also, my friend got the pad thai and it was extremely spicy, which is odd because traditionally it's not supposed to be spicy. It was hotter than my drunken thai noodles, which the waitress warned was very spicy when I ordered. I'll give this place another try. They're brand new, so I'm hoping they'll work out the kinks in their service. Food for the most part was great. read more

Been here about 10 times and it has yet to disappoint! The food is delicious, the staff attentive but not "over the top" and the atmosphere is "chill" (great music). I recommend it! I'm not sure why some people ding CO with lower than 5 stars as it has never been anything less than 5 for me. I had the Korean Rice Bowl and it was almost too pretty to eat! (see pic). Alas, I decided to eat it! Yum! read more

CO - Korean Rice Bowl! - Vietnamese Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

This is a greatly asthetic little spot in the middle of a shopping plaza so parking is easy and the ambiance is cool. BUT its overpriced sushi and out of a jar pho broth more than make up for it. The pho is mostly noodles so if you want what makes pho, well pho, you have to ask for an extra bowl. The water and Pepsi also taste like bleach, but you don't need much to wash down the little you'll eat here. Getting generous with two stars to be honest. read more

For a first time experience I have a lot of mixed feelings. We arrived around 7:30 or so it wasn't to packed but there was limited seating, we were asked to sit at the bar due to that circumstance. The serving staff was very nice, we ordered waters to drink but I only took a sip due to the fact that your straws weren't wrapped... that's nasty! My boyfriend and I ordered the crab Rangoon's and the summer rolls, both were amazing and it had me excited for the actual main course... after receiving our appetizer we waited and waited and waited for my boyfriend's order or udon which was ordered at the same time as the apps... My boyfriend had to grab the server for her to acknowledge we were still waiting on the order that at the time we had been waiting 30+ minutes.. after grabbing the servers attention we were checked on or apologized to for almost 15 minutes of that 30+ minute wait.. after being told the manager would be involved we still waited... $60 later I would have liked the noodles to have been taken off because the wait time was RIDICULOUS and just because you say sorry doesn't make me feel any better especially after waiting that long with no real acknowledgment.. read more

First time at CO. Nice atmosphere and hip feel. Given no reservations and typical waits, there is not adequate space to get a drink and hang out before your table is called. Only other negative is the constant thump thump music like you hear at a trendy night club or aloft hotel. Gets to be a bit obnoxious when you are trying to have a conversation with friends. Food was fantastic. From dumplings, curry dishes to sushi. Our waiter, Garrett, was informative and attentive. Will be a repeat diner, just think about changing up the music a little. read more

This place is beautiful and the decor is something you have a hard time looking away from. It's fabulous. We went on a Friday evening around 7pm and got right in without waiting. Great! The beauty of this place is all in the center of the restaurant where everyone is sitting at high tables. There is a half wall around this area, and then there are 9 low tables set outside of the wall. If you are one of the 9 unfortunate souls who gets sat at a low table, which we did, you are instantly transported back to your 10 year old self expecting an adult table but banished to eat at low kids table outside of the action. You get an excellent view of the wall, and just the tips of some peoples heads. The "kids" tables are very close to each other, so you get waitress butt in your face. My husband didn't mind. The outdoor seating area is basic. The staff was nice. We received an offer in the mail to try their restaurant buy one get one meal free. When we got there, we asked the waitress which meals this offer applied to. The catch: we were only able to choose from 3 rice dishes to get the deal, all of which we did not especially want. We're adventurous though, and tried them out: the Com Chien and the Korean Rice Bowl. They were okay but we wouldn't order them again. The rice bowl was extremely spicy (and I like spicy). My meal came out about 10 minutes before my husbands. I ended up sharing mine and we ate my entire meal before his came out. None of the staff mentioned anything, no apologies from staff. No updates about his food while we waited. Our waitress was nowhere to be found. Maybe that's how they do things. In my opinion, if you're a new restaurant (I know they're a chain) trying to get the nearly neighborhood locals to try and dig your restaurant, don't force them into ordering something they may not like with a tricky stingy coupon. read more

Can't speak for the rest of the menu, but their pho was terrible. Don't waste your time. It's a small (large cereal bowl) size bowl for $13. Most places charge about $8-9 for a bowl that small. The broth itself came out lukewarm and wasn't flavorful - tastes like you could buy a box of it pre-made in a store. I ordered the raw beef which came in huge slices that were tough and stringy. I've never had to spit pieces of pho meat out before, but I had to here several times. Staff was friendly and helpful, but avoid the pho - I'm guessing people go here for other items on the menu. read more

This place is absolutely spectacular. Went here for dinner, first time ever, and as vegan I was pleased to see they had a menu just for us. I ordered the crispy vegetable roll which is absolutely AMAZING. And the Korean hot sauce they serve with the appetizers is too good. I also had their edamame spring rolls--again mind blowingly delicious. The atmosphere was lively for a Saturday night so you'll want to get there early. (There was a 45-minute wait but luckily my friend had connections-lol). Everything from the service to the food to the ambience was great. Even met a couple new friends while there so any time a restaurant can bring strangers together over good food, I'm all for it. You MUST check this place out! read more

Love the ambiance here!! Haven't been in person in a while due to COVID but the take-out is as good as in person! Start with the pork dumplings and then get a Korean Rice Bowl - both delicious!! They also have awesome, unique mixed drinks read more

Food decent but do not order any drinks $15 for a very small measured charddonay likewise very very weak mixed drink a complete rip off

It's nice that they have such a wide selection of Asian cooking styles, but in general there wasn't much very good about our meal. I had the Bun Xao with the tofu rolls as a starter and my husband had the pork bun and beef kimchi dumplings as starters and chicken curry for his meal The tofu rolls and dumplings were decent. The pork bun was greasy and heavy. The bun xao was not very good. Lemon grass sauce was inedible and the rice noodles were warm and over cooked. My husband said the curry sauce was delicious but the chicken was too salty. We went at a weird time in between meals so this may be why they were off their game, but we'll have a hard time going back to give them another chance. read more

Had been wanting to try out this new Charlotte restaurant ever since it opened (which wasn't too long ago)! My husband and I went for a late lunch and absolutely loved it. The ambiance was exquisite, the staff was friendly and attentive. I enjoyed the huge portraits on the wall and the modern vibe the restaurant exuded. Ordered cocktails to start, specifically the Jalapeño Guava Margarita and the Sparkling Pineapple Sake. Both were to die for. Amazing flavor. We love gyoza, so had to try their Pork & Ginger Gyoza as an appetizer. Juicy, fresh, and delicious. Highly recommend as a starter dish. Not too filling, but flavorful and worth it. We also had the Spicy Tuna Pressed Sushi. Extremely fresh and lovely presentation. For our main dishes, we both went for a broth noodle bowl: the Viatnamese Ramen & the Curry Laska. Our server recommended the Curry Laska as the best thing on the menu. Though we hadn't tried everything on the menu, it was definitely the best place to start. Each broth bowl is humongous, so I wouldn't recommend getting too many starters or sushi rolls beforehand. Neither of us could finish ours main dishes. But the flavor was incredible and warmed us up on the chilly day! Immediately made the decision after we left that we'd be back. Can't wait to try something new next time around! read more

I enjoyed all the dishes. Lychee drink from the menu had a pleasant aroma and the taste sealed the deal! The sushi rolls were nice. The waiter was nice and perfect with timing on everything. read more

It took 15 minutes to even get a drink order. Food took 30 minutes for Pho!

I'm never going back to this place! Oh yeah they give you a super small portion of noodles! read more

First, the place is beautiful. It has a really cool big city (all in the middle of Park Road Shopping Center) feel and I liked being there. The lights are low, the music is on the loud side...so if you are on the grumpy side of flexibility, you should probably make a more conservative choice. So with only being open a few days, the restaurant was crowded but we got the last table on a Wednesday night. Really good: 1. Food - props for doing a really great job on Japanese, Vietnamese, Korean, etc. I ordered the beef pho and liked it a lot. Nothing not to like. 2. Prices seemed reasonable to me 3. Atmosphere - awesome, cool, & fun! Not great (yet) 1. Service - everyone is still figuring things out IMHO. Staff should probably learn the menu better and get really passionate about explaining dishes. It wasn't bad but it just needed to be a bit better and think this is to be expected during week 1. I imagine myself at a new job and feeling a bit clueless. 2. Kitchen - super slow but again, new restaurant and don't hold against them. 3. Music - a tiny bit loud but at the same time I kinda like it. I think though it might be hard to talk with a bigger group. read more

It's a good place close to me with excellent meals and drink specials. I think the inside is nicely decorated with a large bar, seating, and a nice table layout. I went on a weekday night, not Friday or Saturday and there was a 25 minute wait to be seated. The hostess is friendly and we chatted while they cleared a table. After being seated the waitress came and we quickly ordered and were served. I enjoyed a pork sushi roll with cream cheese and a Japanese drink. Overall it was my second or third time at the restaurant which offers choices such as dumplings, sushi, Pho, and Vietnamese cuisine! read more

I wish they would focus more on service. I live in the neighborhood and really want this place to do well (I do like their food) but I feel like service is poor. Recently I stopped dinning in and resorted to takeout but it is almost always delayed. Maybe the kitchen is slow. Today I placed my order at 6:00 and was scheduled to pick up at 7:30... It wasn't ready until 8:15. I asked for an update and and was told that it was being brought out...25 minutes later I finally had it. When I got home I noticed some of the sides were missing. It is easy to chalk this up to unusual times or an one off but I find this to be their standard not the exception. read more

CO is a newer place in the Park Road Shopping Center, specializing in Asian food of all sorts (Japanese, Vietnamese, Thai, etc.). We initially tried to go here on a Friday night but were turned away at the door after learning of the 1 hour wait. I guess we underestimated the popularity of this spot. We returned on Saturday for lunch and found it much easier, getting seated immediately. As others have described, this place aims to serve up some traditional dishes in a very modern setting. There are noodles of various sorts, pho, curry dishes, and sushi along with other Asian staples. The setting is a definite plus, there's a cool bar in the middle with this crazy wood thing in the middle going from floor to ceiling that made me feel like I was sitting underneath a mushroom. Our waitress was prompt and on the ball. She answered our questions and checked up on us regularly. We went with the summer rolls to start. The waitress brought out some really tasty house-made sauce to go with everything. It was nice and spicy, reminded me a bit of Sriracha. For mains, we did some beef pho and pork ramen. The pho was pretty good, but light on the beef. The ramen was a little disappointing to me. It has some really tasty pork belly, but once I got through that I wasn't left with much in the protein department. The other minor disappointment was that the ramen was all stuck together. I'm by no means a ramen connoisseur (although my college-self may disagree), but I don't want my noodles stuck together to where I can't eat them with chopsticks unless I hack them to pieces. Ramen aside, it was all in all pretty good. We'll give it another shot. read more

Cool, funky place located in The Park Road shopping center. Excellent service, friendly employees. I ordered the Pad Thai with the chicken and shrimp. Too many noodles and not enough shrimp and chicken for me. There were A LOT of noodles. I couldn't finish my bowl. Not sure why, but within an hour of leaving I had terrible stomach pains and had to find a bathroom (sorry, gross). I may return and try another dish. We shall see. Updating this review because after my initial one, someone named Jonah from Co commented on my review stating "I'm glad you enjoyed your meal..." I'm guessing he didn't actually READ my review. Odd response. read more

Met up with a couple friends during the lunch hour. Great new addition to Park Road Shopping Center. If you are looking for great ambiance, the interior is fresh, modern, and cool. Ladies, careful when wearing heels...the floor is slick, or maybe it's how I walk. I dunno. Also, it could have been the company I was with or the acoustics, but at times it was difficult to hear my friends. Come with loud talkers. We ordered 3 dishes: Hanoi noodles, com chien, and Thai green curry. Wow. Each dish was flavorful and spicy. I had to cut the noodles with a side of white rice just to tone it down a bit...but I loved every bite. Now that you know they start out spicy, you can ask them to go easy. If you want to add more fire to the sauce, they bring a bottle of their own mixture and it does add more kick. Plenty of food, be ready to take home leftovers. The service was great. Very friendly. No judgement here when you ask for a fork. read more
