    Perfectly grilled chicken. Fresh vegetables. Delicious cheese sauce. Great waiter. Typical Mexican restaurant atmosphere.

    Shrimp Fajitas
    Jenita M.

    I was seeking a different Mexican restaurant to try. I figured the best thing to order anywhere is a fajita to get a good idea if it's worth coming back. I made my order online. I wasn't given an estimate time for pickup so I figured 15 mins was enough. It was ready upon pickup. Service was attentive and friendly. I got the shrimp fajita and the presentation was beautiful. The shrimp tasted good but the meal was bland. I found myself more interested in the chips and salsa. The salsa was a little hot 3 of 5 but I got use to it after coughing. I salted my meal with Kosher salt to my liking then it was good then. I'm super full and I think 4 stars is fair for the amount of food and just needing salt is potential for growth here. And to fix the small pothole outside.

    We were looking for a place to eat around my dad's area to meet up & so good reviews on this place(plus I love Mexican food). We got there and weren't too busy(just opened an hour ago), which was a plus it has a good ambiance to meet up with family or friends. The server greets us with the biggest smile & seated us. The seat & table ratio was off(table lower than booth) but didn't prevent us from eating. The food was good & as pictured good amount of serves. The services were A1. I just wish they would've brought my chips & salsa.

    My oldest son and I came here for our monthly outing. I read other good reviews for this place and we love Mexican food so it was an easy choice. Tables are spaced out here and they have a good sanitation grade. Chips and salsa was served. My son liked the salsa. I thought it was ok. I liked the queso better. He got chicken quesadillas and I got a whole fish. Food was fresh and good. Service was good and we saw a lot of to go orders being prepared. We will return!

    Burrito Deluxe with Chips & Salsa.  Plenty of food !

    The food was bountiful and excellent. Prompt service starting with chips and salsa brought to the table when seated. They feature some large margaritas too.

    In the mood for some Mexican Food so we went to our favorite place. If you want authentic Mexican Food, this is the place to go. They have good food, great staff and they are never overcrowded. So, what did we get? Well my wife got the combo #4. It had an enchilada and tostada and a taco. I got the El Vara Cruz quesadilla. It has chicken and cheese and queso cheese. I'm kind of weird so I got fries with it. Now we started out with fresh chips and salsa. We also cheese to dip it in. The chips come out super fast. We also got two sweet teas. Fast forward...the food comes out and as usual the food is great. I try my best to find something wrong every time but I fail every time. This one is short and simple. If you want good food, come here. Large cheese dip: $7.95 Drinks: $2.50 a piece Combo #4: 11.95 Quesadilla: $10.95 Total: $38.27 for two people (Tip not included)

    Best authentic Mexican I have had in Charlotte. It was recommended by an uber driver and it did. It disappoint.

    Food and service was good a lot of food for price - then we saw a roach on the wall right by my food, and I saw lipstick on my wine glass.

    Went to eat with my coworker who recommended this place as serving authentic Chinese cuisine. I…read morecould not pass up that opportunity as Asian cuisine is in my top three. It's very rare for me to do a review and not have pics to accompany it but from entrance to exit I don't think I liked my phone up once. Coworker's company was great but the food really made for a great experience. In addition to that having my coworker speak to the culture of the food made it all the more appreciated. I definitely can't say enough good words about the food and the service and the overall experience. Five stars is all I can give but if there were more this restaurant would well deserve it. Next time I'll have to get pics

    Great authentic Chinese Hot Pot place! The food is fantastic and the service fast and efficient…read moreplus the atmosphere is cool! The prices are very reasonable for the quality of food served! I have eaten here many times and I have tried virtually everything on the menu. With that said, here is my take on it. Everything that I have tried has been delicious! For cold appetizers, I am a big fan of the Black Fungus W. Vinegar Sauce, Cold Spicy Sour Cucumber and the Spicy Beef Tendon. For hot appetizers, everyone raves about the Popcorn Chicken and I concur that it's very good! I really like the Frled Pork Gyoza too. For the main course, they have some rice dishes, but the main focus is the hot pot soups. They bring out a 300°F Stone bowl of broth (in an insulated pot holder) and the ingredients to put in it. You put the meat and lettuce in first, then the other ingredients and the noodles last then wait for "10 seconds"thus the name of the restaurant. I have tried all of the broths and they are all good depending on your tastes. The original broth is the bass broth. Then they add things to the other others to differentiate them. My favorites are the Tomato Soup (especially with Beef Flank) and Spicy Soup. If you like things VERY spicy, they can bring you some cut Thai peppers. The wait staff are patient are very helpful in guiding patrons. They understand that this is a new experience for them. They also pay attention to their customers eating habits. One time when I went in, they noticed that I added lots of chili peppers and chili oil to my food. That's when she said she could bring me some very hot fresh chili peppers. Charlotte is truly blessed to have so many great authentic Chinese body shops popping up all over town! I highly recommend this place! Cheers!

We get to play with our food and have a fun time with our family and friends all while making a mess! Plus, robots!" There are so many dining choices to make here but we really can't go wrong especially since it's "all you can eat". Pick a broth (simple? mild? umami? spicy? very spicy?), and then select among literally dozens of raw meats, seafood, veggies, tofu and noodles to cook in it. Each person gets their own pot, so be selfish and choose your pleasure. Order some dumplings or other dim sum "appetizers" Order various sashimi or sushi rolls. Go to the cold bar and stock up on Asian salad options and various dipping sauces. For us big kids beer, wine, sake and soju are also available. Then as the broth in the buckets boil in front of us start adding and scooping out ingredients. Eat. Repeat. Did I say robots? The food is delivered to the tables by these cutesy things. Just don't stiff the bots on tips - I hear they'll run you down and tase you (just kidding - I think). Did I say messy? Seriously, don't wear nice clothes. Broth gets distributed, well, pretty much everywhere. Needless to say, Yiding Hot Pot is a place best enjoyed with a group. Approved and recommended for children of all ages!
