My family and I have been coming here twice a month for over 2 years. Today I noticed a service charge that was slipped in unannounced. I hate business owners that do that. My last time going there - be transparent. read more

This is a very popular spot in Charlotte. It took about 30 minutes for my party to be seated on a Thursday night after we arrived around 645. This spot is located in a plaza, so there were plenty of shops open to shop and look around in while we waited for a table. Once seated, the restaurant has a very nice ambiance and has a full bar where you can drink and eat without a wait if a spot is available. The waitress was very knowledgeable about the menu and what was available. The sake we wanted was not available, but they had other options available. The bar was quite busy so we had a wait for our drinks. The food seemed very authentic, and the helpings were plentiful and delicious. They have a variety of dishes I wanted to try so I will be back to try some others. read more

I don't love giving 2 stars, but I want to keep it real. I would def be open to trying some more things, but at least for my first and only experience I wasn't a fan. The menu looked really good, there's lots to check out, so maybe I just missed with my order... Pressed Salmon & Avocado Roll: The ratio of salmon to rice is way out of alignment to me. There was a little, half slice of salmon on each piece. It doesn't even span the entire piece. And I feel like there was way too much lemon aoli. I love mayo, but it kinda brought the whole item down. An ongoing theme in my experience is the items just didn't feel elevated, there just was no finesse or brightness to the dishes. Korean Short Rib Banh Mi: I absolutely love Banh Mis, and I was expecting Co to have something light, fresh, and interesting. Unfortunately all my favorite things about Banh Mis weren't there - there was no crunch of fresh veggies, the flavor was just a little too heavy, which in conjunction with the kimchi style veggies, the whole thing again just didn't show any finesse. Malaysian Chili Wings: The flavor profile again just wasn't doing it for me. I guess I was expecting a different experience and tastier flavors. If I lived close by I'd try some more dishes and see if I can find some items that hit the spot. read more

This might be my new favorite happy hour/Asian fusion place. Wait wasn't too long even during their busy happy hour. Our server was very attentive, efficient and friendly. Nice and energetic ambiance. The spicy crab regions were so good we ordered another. We also ordered the crispy edamame spring rolls, crispy Katsu banh mi, spider roll and cali roll. All very tasty and filling! Will definitely come back to enjoy the rest of the menu. Highly recommend to come during happy hour, good amount of items on the menu time choose from. read more

Half price sushi on Tuesday was a pleasant surprise. Food was delicious. Service was great. Highly recommend and will be back.

As always the food at Co did not disappoint - Curry Laksa was sensational as was the Vietnamese ramen. The service however was absolutely abysmal. On a non-busy Friday night it took 10 minutes and us flagging down a buser to get a server to our table for drinks. Food arrived promptly but the poor service and the fact that we couldn't get our bill without practically begging makes it doubtful we'll return. The interior of the restaurant was clean but the menu I received hadn't been wiped down in recent memory and the restaurant itself was ice cold. read more

Great dining option in the Park Road Shopping area. We've visited multiple times and this time was a Sunday evening. We elected to sit outside since it was such a nice evening. The local beer selection is pretty narrow, but they did have Sycamore Mtn Candy ($7). We started with the Beef & Kimchi Dumplings ($6.50) and I loved them as they are so flavorful. My bride ordered the Pad Thai ($17) this time around and said it was good. I went with the Hanoi Noodles ($17) and it was tasty. The servings for both of these entrees appear to be large - but the proportions are heavy on noodles and light on the protein. Service on this recent visit was a challenge with the delivery of our entrees coming with a significant wait. The waiter was very apologetic for the delay, however the lack of management acknowledgment or engagement was evident. I'm giving it a higher 4 star rating as I know how challenging things have been with the lack of labor force available right now. read more

Food is always good when we come although lately I think the service has been different due to the pandemic. We were there last night and I think we were overcharge although Tuesday and Thursday is half off sushi. My bf doesn't really look at the check like that but I had questioned it after he paid and the math wasn't adding up. Nice place, ambiance is cool. Good date night or family night place. read more

The ambiance and service is good, but the food was awful. Do NOT get the Wagyu roll. The Wagyu is old and the seafood here smells rotten. I now have food poisoning and have had the worst stomach ache for the last 24 hours. I do not recommend this place at all. The rice bowls are 90% rice with barely any meat. The quality of ingredients they use is sub par compared to the prices they charge. I have the worst food poisoning I have ever have after eating here. read more

This is one of my top fav happy hour spots! I love meeting friends here for great drinks and great food! Honestly I haven't had a single menu item yet that I disliked. They have multiple specials during the week so check the website to get the scoop for the day you choose. Here are some of my favorite items to date: Crispy Edamame Spring Rolls - Edamame wrapped in your classic spring roll deep fried and served with what I believe to be a peanut sauce Curry Laska - If you have a taste for noodles and love curry this might hit the spot Steamed Edamame - $3 on Wednesday and always a great snack! Garlic Sesame Tuna Taco - These are flavored so well I can't even describe it. They're delicious and I don't even eat raw tuna! Spicy Crab Ragoon - Delicious, just get em! Strawberry Spring Roll - a sweet spring roll filled with strawberries served with nutella dipping sauce... sure to hit that sweet spot! California Roll- $4 on Wednesdays & rolled to perfection... not real sushi my butt... I love them lol And you probably can't go wrong with any sushi you choose! All I've tried were well made!! Check out CO you won't be disappointed! read more

I'd been meaning to check out this spot for their 1/2 priced sushi Happy Hour. I went right after work and was able to find seating right away. The place did get pretty packed shortly after. They have the cutest bar set up. The Sauvignon Blanc was so crisp and the Crab Rangoon came out piping hot. Those two things alone would make me a regular. I opted for the Philly Roll and the Spicy Tuna Crunch. The tuna roll was definitely more flavorful. I think my eyes were bigger than my belly today as I could not finish everything I ordered. However, I'll be back to check out some of the other happy hours specials like Martini Mondays. See you soon! read more

The atmosphere is nice for couples and small groups. The food is nicely presented. The Spicy Playa Poke bowl ($13) was plentiful to feel full. The spiciness has a good kick and the overall flavor was decent. It just wasn't anything amazing. It is definitely a fusion restaurant. The flavors aren't authentic, and definitely more of an experimental flavor. The servers were nice in general, but as the night got busier it was very difficult to finish my payment and leave. I think I waited up to 15 minutes to simply pay and leave. I asked if I can pay at the front, but according to policy, I can't. A bit of improvement in the operation would help so there's not a lot of waiting for the one server dedicated to the table. read more

I have been to this place multiple times and I am always impressed. My go to item is the curry laksa because it is super delicious and a massive dish that usually I will have it for dinner or lunch the next day. I also recommend the crab rangoon and the drunken noodles! Personally I've never had a bad thing here and everyone that I bring here says that their food is super delicious. I really want to try the poke bowl or the bahn mi one day but I always end up getting curry laksa that cuz it's so good. read more

We visited this place last Friday. My banhmi was too salty was not able to eat it. I had to order something else. The appetizers were awful not a good taste . supposed to add that sauce peanut sauce that was like a jar made peanut sauce. And the service sucks, we were like 10 minutes in and nobody came and then she got everything mixed up. We have to re-order a ginger ale padthai was ordered mild to everything was over spicy. read more

What a cool place. Low lighting really added to the atmosphere but I think might conflict for people that have a hard time seeing. Service was ok. We tried to do the half off from 4-7 but we where there at 6:55 and their computer is what cuts off at 7. It was really busy so cut waiters slack. Food was good, samurai supreme roll was nice and warm because it was lightly deep friend. I didn't have the poke bowls, but my friends did and I tried them. I was not impressed, the playa bowl had warm rice but the veggies and fish was cold and I did care too much for that, it felt like a salad on top of rice. The Cambodian poke bowl was way better, because it lacked the cold veggies, but it is lacking in spice. But still good read more

We drove around the area and tried to figure out a place to eat. We decided to stop at CO and try them out. I decided to get the spicy udon noodles with chicken and the Jersey Roll. I didn't expect the portions to be that big, but I was impressed. The taste was even better! The sushi roll was fresh, and my noodles were delicious. Everything came out presentable and I really enjoyed the ambiance of the place. Also, with COVID-19 going on, they had the option to allow us to pay through our phones which was fast and convenient. We'll definitely be coming back to this place! read more

Ok I actually cant believe i haven't written a review yet for CO. This is probably one of my most visited spots and the only place i'd consider myself a regular. I've tried almost everything on the menu and everything has been superb! But the best thing is... half off sushi from 4-7 on tuesdays and thursdays and happy hour apps 4-7 on weekdays. No gatekeeping here folks... gotta share all the secrets even if it means an hour wait for me :') My go to place for half off sushi and other vietnamese dishes. Beware.. the vietnamese food here is americanized BUT still delicious! I typically come here maybe every other week. Overall: 4.85/5 When: Tuesday 6:30pm, party of 2. Quoted a 45 min wait but watched the bar like a hawk and got two seats as soon as a couple finished up. Bar is first come first served. Food: 4.8/5 - going to be honest here.. O-ku is my favorite sushi in CLT BUT the sushi here is still really good ESPECIALLY when it is half off. One of the only places in charlotte to have this deal and i hope they keep it forever because it's one of the reasons why they stand out so much. My go-to rolls are the lemon, cambodian, and fire cracker. Go-to apps are crab rangoon, edamame, and a newer app i love is the crispy tuna. Although i would suggest to the chefs to make the crispy rice a little less crunchy on the outside..then it will be perfection. The com chien (fried rice) with all the proteins is always a hit. Large portions guaranteed to fill you up with leftovers. Every other dish here is delicious so you really cant go wrong!!! Like I said earlier, this place has vietnamese dishes but they are definitely americanized to fit the palette of many. Still very delicious and the viet flavors are still there. Service: 5/5 - everyone from the hosts, owners, servers, chefs are all so friendly and helpful no matter how big of a dining rush or how stressed they might be. We always appreciate when employees can keep their cool during a hectic dinner rush but can still provide outstanding service. The bartenders especially are SUPER STARS! Keep killin it!!! Drinks: 4.8/5 - my boyfriend always gets the lavender vanilla old fashioned here and it's one of his favorites in the City. He likes his whiskey and OF on the sweeter side. Vibes: 4.8/5 - amazing date night spot, place to take clients, lunch spot, GNO dinner place, birthdays, etc. Honestly perfect for any occasion. Also.... Sometimes they have an odesza playlist on and that's when i knew this place was the spot. Other: free surface lot. In the park rd shopping center by blackhawk. If you come after 6:15pm on tuesdays or thursdays, expect a wait and expect not to make happy hour deals. Bar is first come first serve. They do take out. There is patio seating if they are fully staffed. Clean bathrooms. There is another sister CO restaurant down in waverly. Also other sister restaurants in myrtle, charleston, plus more. There is also a GF, vegan, and kids menu. Pro tip: local costco has CO giftcards... $100 worth of CO for $75!!! read more

Wonderful food at this spot! Service was super friendly but a little slow, maybe was because we came right at prime dinner time on a Thursday night. We enjoyed our dinner here SO much. Curry Laksa 10/10 - I would eat this stuff weekly if I could. I cannot WAIT to come back and get this again! Bahn Mi 10/10 - my friend got this dish- said it was wonderful. She liked the crisp outside and soft interior of the inside Both of our cocktails were fabulous! Paloma 9/10- this is like my ideal Paloma! I think the flavors were balanced really well and strong. My friend had the Blackberry drink and one other one that I can't remember. All I can say is ALL WERE GREAT! Can't wait to come back to this spot again and again! read more

I continue to be amazed by how good this place is! It has recently become a go to for us. Located conveniently nearby in the Park Road shopping center. Pro tip: get the sake infusions! Tue and Thursday half off sake carafes. The sake infusions are so good but be warned they are smooth and dangerous. After a couple visits we have tried several and like them all. Think the blackberry may be my fav 1/2 price sushi rolls at happy hour yes- I will order 2 please :) . The rainbow Is always solid and tried the spider which is also good. Maybe the best thing you can order though are the pork belly bun!! Words can't describe so do yourself a favor and order a couple . You will thank me. read more

Stopped by for a late dinner with the family. Has been on the list but finally made it over. Ambiance is quite nice with a mix of seats for large and small groups and a nice wooden sculpture that really gives the place something. We were seated quickly and food orders were gotten but service was a little spotty. We didn't get pictures of the gyoza but those were probably my favorite along with the ramen. Kids seemed to like the desserts. I didn't even get a taste. It's worth coming back. read more

[Grade: A+] I use to come to CO a lot with friends before the pandemic happened for Happy Hour specials, and honestly I would say it's just as good and maybe even better than I remembered! I came for the Tuesday/Thursday Half off maki rolls special during Happy Hour to get those delicious deals. From the Happy Hour menu, we got the Tuna Tataki, Salmon Carpaccio, and the Yellow Curry Tofu. The Tuna Tataki gave me yummy vibes of a Vietnamese-Japanese fusion as the flavour profile reminded me of Vietnamese Pho. The Salmon Carpaccio was delicious, citrusy, and tasted incredibly fresh and was my favourite dish. The Yellow Curry Tofu surprised me the most however as I was shocked at how fragrant, sweet, and spicy it was akin to a fusion-type thai curry, and I just had to take the leftover curry home to eat with some rice. One thing that disappointed me when I saw the new Happy Hour menu is that the Malaysian wings are no longer offered for $5 as they were incredible. The sushi rolls we got were also incredible as they tasted super fresh and were on par with other great sushi restaurants in Charlotte (but only half the price per roll WOWW). I personally love the Golden roll as I enjoyed the flavour of torched salmon. We also got the Samurai roll, and usually I don't get fried rolls as I sort of have a stigma from when I would go to buffets when I was younger, BUT this time I was pleasantly surprised at how it came out. It was lightly fried and gave it a slight crunch, while not being overwhelming with the fried batter, and the inside being super creamy in texture. It reminded me of eating a really nice cream filled donut in terms of mouth feel, if that makes sense haha. I deffo would get this roll again. Overall, this place has an incredible quality of food, akin to a gourmet restaurant, and continues to surprise me even after coming here for many years. The fish is super fresh, the curry is amazingly spicy, and the sushi just can't be beat, especially during the T/TH special. If only the Malaysian wings were on the Happy Hour menu, but I digress. Other than that, the service was excellent and I will definitely be coming back for more! read more

We had a fantastic meal this evening at CO. Our party of three had a short wait because the after work crowd was in but they soon left and our table opened up. It was much quieter during the dinner hour with a few other open tables while we dined. For starters, we got their chicken wings. Sweet, tangy, sticky, the six wings were a perfect appetizer and divided nicely for the three of us. Yum! Main courses, my wife and I each got a pho with beef. Mine without noodles was delicious and rich broth. Presented nicely with the usual fixings including peppers, cilantro, Thai basil, bean sprouts and both hoisin and sriracha. Plenty of beef in there and my wife's had plenty of noodles. I really enjoyed mine, a good portion. My daughter chose the spicy pho with beef. Not terribly spicy but there was a bit of "go" in there. Delicious and I would probably upgrade to that next time. For dessert, they split the cheesecake rangoon that looked delicious and I skipped as it's not keto-friendly. Presented nicely with candied orange zest and crumbled peanuts. I was regretting my choice just a little. Great service and a fantastic meal. CO is definitely "date-worthy" and it looks like a good spot for the after work but before dinner wind down too. [Review 11831 overall, 1613 of 2019.] read more

Very chic setting with very good Asian fusion food. It radiates hipness with a sculptural ceiling and exposed brick walls. The pan-Asian offerings span Korean, Thai, Japanese and Chinese food favorites. The inside ambience of the space is unexpected from the outside. There's a spectacular modern wood-ribbed ceiling that looks like a very cool modernist mushroom radiating from the bar area. I'm told it used to be a shoe store, but now it has been transformed to a very slick restaurant space with exposed brick. This particular location (part of a small NC and SC chain) is also located in one of the coolest shopping plazas in Charlotte. It's in Park Road Shopping Center, an old-style 1950s shopping center with a covered open walkway facing parking, but renovated to the epitome of 2019 hipster-ness. The food and service were also good. Waitstaff is attentive and funny, and even recommended alternatives ("oh by taking out the pork in that one it will be almost the same as the other steamed bun you're sharing" etc). Food was really terrific: Papaya salad was bright and flavorful. Spicy tuna roll was right on the mark. Vietnamese steamed buns were just the right combination of chewy and crunchy. Summer rolls and spring rolls were exactly perfect. Between three people we had a wide range of shared plates, and I recommend all. The only exception was crab rangoon (more or less cream cheese with crab in a crispy crust) was just way too creamy and rich. They stay open late and seem to attract a young, smartly dressed crowd. We went to a nearby grocery store afterward and realized we had forgotten the credit card. Even though it must have been close to closing time, they were asking if we wanted to be seated (but we just needed the credit card). Great service with a smile and they were very accommodating. read more

I love this place because of all the reasons! Ambiance is spot on, cool decor - indoor and outdoor seating. Variety of seating areas and types, good for dates or groups. Love that they take reservations, but you don't always need one - but it is normally bumping at dinner. Food is so good! I've loved so many things! -PORK & GINGER GYOZA - hard to go wrong with dumplings/potstickers but these were great. 4 in a dish and a light sauce for dipping. -CURRY LAKSA - Soup/noodle dish. The first time I had it was perfect, most recently it was much too spicy! I'd ask if they are able to tone it down (unless you love the super hot curry spice). My lips were burning this last time. Still has amazing flavor and is a huge portion - always at least 2 meals for me! -PORK BELLY BUNS - liked these, got them steamed -GARLIC SESAME TUNA TACOS - great flavors, but really the ingredients are all things I love so I'm kind of biased when restaurants put these things together. Plus they are tacos - so yes, love these. WAGYU Sushi - loved this dish too. Overall, great experience because the flavors are so strong, and if you share a few dishes it's like a party in your mouth. I recommend going in a small group and sharing, or at least with a date that doesn't mind. :) read more
