I'll rate CO in the "spectacular" category. By far the best thing I've come across in Charlotte in the last 15 years. Everything works. Just pick something, anything, from the list and it will amaze you! I'm usually a bit hard going on eateries. Check my other reviews. I mention this for comparisons sake. I'm not a softball kind of reviewer. The only small gripe I have with CO is this: please lose the high top tables. I truly don't enjoy dangling my legs while I dine. High tops look fabulous in pictures but "in use" ... not so much. That being said, the menu is so wonderfully executed, I would be willing to sit on the curb or on a turned over painter's pail. Don't be fooled by the strip mall location, CO is an Exquisite dining experience! read more

We had amazing everything!! Edamame, spicy crab Rangoon, Malaysian chili wings, jersey roll, super crunch, and ebi tempura were ALL AMAZING. Wings fell off the bone, fresh sauces and fish. Just delicious and amazing! We will be back!!! read more

Went to this restaurant for date night. Our waiter was very friendly and knew a lot about the menu. Service was average, but not in a bad way. The food was really good - I recommend the pork and crab eggrolls! My boyfriend got Thai basil with chicken and he loved it. I ordered the fried rice and it was pretty good but I probably won't get it again. We did order one piece of sushi, The spicy tuna roll. It was really, really good. We will definitely be back to try some more menu items! read more

Second time ordering Vietnamese chicken salad and paid the premium for chicken and it was left off. Folks, be sure to check your food before you pay and leave. Either the kitchen help is terrible or the wait staff is not thorough. This is terribly inconvenient when you find out your meal is not correct and they ask you to bring it all the way back for a replacement. Never again. Terrible service you are providing there Matt. read more

Very good atmosphere. The blackberry infused sake was excellent. I ordered spicy beef pho and it lit me up. I was sweaty pretty much the entire meal but I loved the flavor. The curry laksa was sweet and a bit spicy but also very good. Highly recommend the Malaysian wings as a started. Sweet and tangy and perfectly cooked. read more

CO - Vietnamese Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

One of my favorites for Asian fusion in Charlotte. Great vibe, awesome service, and delicious food!

Excellent food. Had the drunken Thai chicken Noodles and lady had the laksha curry. Both were excellent. Thai chicken and curry dish were both spicy but very flavorful. Would definitely go again. Gyoza appetizers were excellent. read more

We decided to try this place after some friends recommended this place. We loved that they have vegetarian and vegan options on the menu. The tofu was cooked very well and we enjoyed the flavoring of the sauces in the fresh veggies. There is a good atmosphere with modern Asian-inspired decor and service was friendly. We will definitely be back! read more

Not bad but too $$ for what you get. The service was pretty slow but we went like the second day it opened, so it could have just been ironing out the kinks. The food wasn't bad, we left a bit hungry. The interior of the restaurant is beautiful though. Especially the wood that comes from the bar and goes across the ceiling. It would be a nice date spot. If you are in the area and in the mood for a nice asian place, this would be good but in my opinion there are better general dinner options at Park Road Shopping Center. read more

I've been 3 times and it gets better and better. I'm an avid sushi eater and this ranks up there! read more

We went because others had reported such a good experience. Ours today was anything but. After being seated it took 15 minutes for someone to take our drink order another 20 minutes to get our drinks 30 minutes after that for some to take our food order. I made 1 special request and was told in a very snarky manner this would be the one and only time they would do that (no problem as I will NEVER be back). Then my food was very over cooked and certainly not worth the price. read more

Co is a fantastic restaurant. I had never eaten Vietnamese before and wow was I thrilled with their food. The cucumber sake was refreshing and delicious and every thing we ordered exceeded expectations exponentially. The ramen was so savory, the crab and pork egg rolls phenomenal and the specialty sushi roll we got was perfect. When we finished eating we began talking about when we would be back. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone. read more

I have been to CO a couple of times now and the food never fails to impress. I am a fan of Asian Fusion food and that is what brings me here. The sushi, summer rolls, wings, com chai (fried rice), drunken noodles are all amazing. The hot sauce they provide on the table is actually quite hot so use with caution! the drinks are great and strong but a little pricy. I am taking one start away because there is no way to make a reservation on a busy Saturday night and the wait time is 30-45 minutes. read more

Great menu and wonderful service, especial Erin mi server an Luis Veras very pleasand!!!

We either got very lucky...or the other reviewers were very unlucky...because my experience here was great. The service was friendly and efficient, and the food was fantastic. My tuna roll was delicious and my daughter's pho was excellent. The portions are plenty big, and the prices are EXTREMELY reasonable...especially when compared to the many, many overpriced eateries around Charlotte. We had 2 entrees and 2 appetizers (no drinks) ...for $40. You're not going to get any better than that! I highly recommend this place. Oh, and the outside patio is very quaint and pretty. read more

We stopped in for lunch and tried the Hanoi noodles and masa Ramen bowls. Both were recommended by our server. Both were excellent. We also tried their cooler drinks. I had the cucumber mint. It was light and refreshing. Service was excellent. Food quality was fantastic. We will definitely be back. read more

Used to go to CO all the time for sushi but in the past few months they have been using less fish and more rice. All the fish is very fresh tasting and other dishes are a great size and very reasonably priced. Today for lunch I just had two of the appetizer crab rangoons- the best rangoons I have ever had and get them EVERY TIME since the first time I've tried them. read more

This restaurant reminds me restaurants in NYC or LA. Very trendy. The food here is actually pretty good. I really enjoy the infused sake's they have the menu definitely worth a try! Also check out the ramen dishes they are good. read more

Food is very tasty BUT.... Table next to us had food all over it from previous diners (who had left before we even sat down) and no one cleaned it off the whole time we ate...so got to look at old food whole time we ate. We sat outside and the staff takes their smoke breaks right by the patio so you get to smell smoke the whole time. The inside was too cold to even sit inside so we didn't want to move inside. Not sure I'll be going back...shame because the food is good. read more

Bought take-out from here this weekend - got two sushi rolls and the Hanoi noodles with chicken. The noodle dish had no chicken in it, and hardly any sauce or vegetables - was pretty much just plain rice noodles. The sushi was mediocre and came with no wasabi or ginger. Furthermore they did not accept card and weren't giving change so my husband had to stop in the way to get exact change to pay. And all that considered, it was $50 before tip. Definitely not worth the money or effort. Will not be going back read more

I would not recommend this place, they have some weird fusion dishes. The curry laska was so salty and the veg bowl was just rice with dry vegetables.How are you supposed to eat this ? read more

Today was my first and probably last visit to this place. To start, I went to the ladies room before being seated for lunch. While standing at the sink in the bathroom, I watched a waitress walk right out of a stall and back out into the restaurant without even thinking of washing her hands. I'm no germaphobe, but that sincerely grossed me out. Because of that, we opted to sit at the bar with hopes that the bartender washed his hands. The service we received at the bar was really great and they had a great selection of drinks and food, but the beef pho was awful. I didn't even want to finish it because the flavor was so off-putting. The broth had a metallic taste, almost as if it had been stored in a metal container too long. The beef tasted old and was very gamey which turned me off to the dish entirely. I really love pho and Asian fusion. I'm sad we didn't have a better experience. read more

My boyfriend and I went to CO after finding it on yelp. It was already pretty busy when we got there but we still didn't have to wait longer than 5 minutes to be seated. We decided to start off with the Spicy Crab Rangoon. They were absolutely delicious! So good that I would return just for those. We also decided to get their Boba Tea but they were out of tapioca pearls. I got thai and my bf got milk - we both agreed that we've had better. For dinner, I got the Malaysian Chili Wings and the Kung Fu Crunch. Both were so good! My bf hates sushi yet he ended up eating half of mine. He decided to get the Korean Rice Bowl for himself but did not enjoy it as much as I enjoyed my food. Either way, I think CO is definitely worth a try. read more

First time going to co and all I can say is amazing! Our server Rachel was awesome and energetic! Made our dinner experience wonderful! Would definitely recommend the Thai green curry! read more

Danielle Harbula made my first time experience wonderful! I told her what I had a craving for and she recommended me the best dish! She is also great to talk with as she made me feel so welcomed! The drinks are delicious as well! read more

Great spot, great service, great food. Great prices. And some of the best boba tea with mango jelly I have ever had. A's all around

I went into Co this Thursday for half priced sushi and had an amazing experience! Me and my husband ordered the Lemon and Firecracker roll recommended to us by our server Grace. She was prompt to greet us and was super friendly. I would definitely recommend people to come eat here, the food was amazing and the service was outstanding! 10/10 experience! read more

What a great first experience! The food was amazing and the service was superb! We had a rather large party with a lot of complicated orders, and our server Emily killed it!! Thank you girl! Hopefully we have you the next visit!!! read more

Fantastic food, professional service, beautiful ambiance, hip background music, relaxing patio with cushioned seats. Super enjoyable and safe in-restaurant dining during COVID. It doesn't get better than Co. read more

Went there for the first time, with my wife to celebrate our anniversary last night. I had the Spicy Udon and she had the Pad Thai. We also split a Makimono Super Crunch Sushi roll. I had mine also with level 2 heat level. Both of us were really pleased with the food, and I was glad that I stayed at level 2 for the heat / spicy recipe. The staff was attentive and always helpful. We sat at the bar while we waited, and they were also perfect. The cucumber infused Sake was wonderful (I normally am not a fan much of Sake). The inside design was really cool, with this amazing design from wooden planks, that rise from the center of the bar and over the ceiling. There were old pictures on the wall of Nobu McCarthy (I believe) that added to the atmosphere. Couldn't have been happier. read more

Great food and wonderful atmosphere. The drunken Thai noodles were delicious and the curry laksa with chicken was fantastic. Check out CO. You won't be disappointed! read more

This place is decent, but not outstanding. The food lacks kick for an Asian place. The drinks are very good and the atmosphere is nice, it is just the food underwhelms. Read more at: http://eatitcharlotte.com/2016/05/24/co/ read more

This review is based off the service and experience a group of friends and I had while dining here. We came on a Sunday evening and and got a table right away. The waiter took our drink order in normal fashion. It was not until we began ordering, and mind you an order was already placed, that the waiter informed us that the entire "wok-based" selection was not available due to a malfunction in the kitchen. This information should have been conveyed by the host station, or at the very least before the drink order was taken, as two people in my party were specifically looking for items in that category. Deciding to stay and try something else off the menu, our experience just kept going downhill. Food orders were brought out at extreme time intervals. I had a sushi roll come out 30 mins before a dining companion, who ordered the exact same roll. In total, it was around 55 mins between the time the first persons whole order came out, to the time the last persons main entree arrived. When we asked the waiter about the disparaging time intervals, the reply we got was something to the effect of "there's only 3 people in the kitchen". Now, I understand being short staffed, but a few things: 1. Again, the information about what is happening at your establishment is not forthcoming, it has to be pulled out of staff; 2. Other tables around us did not experience the same service. I watched multiple tables orders be brought out at the same or close to the same time. When it came time to pay the bill there was nothing offered as compensation for the experience though, again, the waiter was fully aware of issues and the restaurants own short comings, other than an indifferent apology - and an extra mango roll being added to a friends bill (we had it removed). The only thing I can say that doesn't make this a complete 1 star rating is the food, which was absolutely delicious (once it came out). Not one person disliked their order, and the Curry Laksa was truly phenomenal. However all this was overshadowed by the rest of the visit. read more

I love CO! I'm Vietnamese so I'm love finding new Vietnamese restaurants to tryout. I really like the classy/modern interior of the place. Our server was really attentive and sweet as well. Once I saw that they have bubble tea on the menu I knew I just had to!! I ordered the mango bubble tea w/ boba. I was shook that I really enjoyed the bubble tea I honestly did not think I was going to like it that much but it was really good! They also added lychee jelly & that paired really well with the mango, but the tapioca balls were too hard and chewy. We also ordered the geisha sushi to share, and I had a pad Thai and my mom had the spicy udon. The sushi was okay good but my pad Thai was a bit too dry, I felt like if there was more sauce it would've been perfect! I also tried some of my mom's spicy udon and it was SOO good! Overall everything was good and I would totally come back to tryout their pho & banh mi. Way to go CO! read more

I'll cover 2 parts. Mainly the food, but also grub hub delivery through Yelp. I ordered the Pad Thai , Pork & Crab spring rolls, Mango Summer Rolls, and the Beef Kimchi Dumplings. I'll definitely be a return customer. Everything was fresh! My favorite were the summer rolls - best I've had and the portion is large (2 large rolls). I liked the scallion sauce that came with the spring rolls on them a bit more than the peanut. But I switched back and forth, both were good! The dumplings were delicious. I don't like my food super spicy and these were a great balance of spice. The pad thai was well flavored and was not overpowered by peanuts as some can be. The pork and crab spring rolls I would probably not order again. I would say they were very crab forward. My rating is for the food. If you plan on ordering for delivery through grub hub I would plan ahead. The driver has to drive to the restaurant and then place your order in person (it's not automatic like most delivery services). It ended up being about 120minutes and of course the fees. I was in a pinch but in the future I would have planned better so hopefully this helps someone else! Overall - I was really happy with the food and will order again! A compliment to the restaurant, I learned about you at a work lunch today where multiple employees were raving about the food! So much so that i ordered the very same night! read more

This place blows my mind with the terrible customer service! I really love the food here always fresh so the BOH saves this place. If you don't care about service please enjoy , but if you work hard for your money and you don't like spending where it's not appreciated please go else where! Had me on hold for 10 minutes , I was sitting outside the entire time and next thing you know the host is clocking out! I then go inside to order and the bartender ignores me so I just choose to go else where ! Please do better CO on Park Rd!!!! read more

I LOVE CO!!!! This place is amazing! It is so modern/cool/unique, such a cool new location in Charlotte! I was in town visiting from Southern CA and we decided to try this place and thought the food was soooo good! I want them to open one in LA! My husband and I went for dinner and ordered a few different things to try - all were hot and tasted so good. One of my favorites was the Curry Shrimp Appetizer, I could have literally drank a cup of this sauce. The sushi rolls were great along with their variety of unique cocktails. We also had the Crispy Cheesecake Wontons for dessert and they were so tasty and something we had never had before. We were surprised to find out that this restaurant recently had its grand opening! We didn't see signs of that at all. Our waiter was very attentive to us, food came out quickly and was warm, and over all it was a great experience. We actually went back for a second time for lunch while we were in Charlotte, this time my husband had the Pad Thai and I got the Hanoi Noodles. Both were very good, I would highly recommend the Hanoi Noodles with chicken, they are noodles that I think are stir fried in curry sauce - so good! I have never had anything like this in LA and wish I could find a place that has them because I'd like to order it again! read more

Tonight I placed a take out order on Chow Now. When I got to the restaurant 45 minutes later and asked for my food the hostess said she didn't have my order. She stated that they turned their Chow Now off and that there was no food. When I asked about the credit card charge she said that Chow Now has my money, not CO. When I asked her what she thought I should do she replied, I don't know, call Chow Now I guess. She was smiling at me the whole time and appeared to be enjoying refusing service. She didn't apologize once for the inconvenience. This is my first review ever. I have never been treated so poorly by anyone in the service industry. CO, you've lost a customer for life. read more

The crab rangoons were AMAZING. I know that sounds silly but these had something special to them and I can't describe what it was. It's too bad that special something didn't carry over to the drunken noodles. These were so disappointing. They were overlooked and dry, not to mention the chicken was nowhere to be found. Next time I have a crab Rangoon craving I will be sure to stop in but remember to order another entree. read more

First order first serve...not so much last night. Waited for our so-so food for 45 mins when the restaurant was nearly empty. "Kitchen is backed-up"...when otheRs who came & ordered after got their food. CO-incident? CO-nvoluted? CO-nfused? read more
