    Checked out this new restaurant for lunch today...and it was stellar! The place itself is very sleek...minimalist in design. I'd say the ambiance is cool, yet inviting. They did play overhead music, which helped to warm up the place as well. Service was top notch. My waitress was on top of things...and stayed very attentive throughout. There was even a host that greeted you cheerfully when you entered the place. This is something that's becoming much less common nowadays. I've almost gotten used to getting these blank, dead-pan stares when I enter restaurants. I tried the Flame Special Stir Fry Lo Mein, and it was possibly the best Lo Mein I've had? So much flavor...and they were super generous with the varieties of jumbo shrimp, beef and chicken. So plentiful, I couldn't even finish. Also tried their appetizer Golden Crab & Brie Wonton Crisps...which basically looked and tasted like Crab Rangoon. I liked them, but didn't think they were anything too special. I'll probably try another app next time. Still, the presentation for the foods ordered were great. Overall, I was impressed with this Chinese fusion restaurant. Thought it was on par with Open Rice, another upscaled Chinese fusion place that I love. I loved the convenient location as well. I can't wait to return and try other items from their menu!

    Shrimp bao buns

    Great vibe - wonderful new place that was not designed with females in mind. I say that because the chairs don't have a spot to put your purse and there are no hooks under the table. This results when the tables are full having it on the lap, on the leg or just figuring it out like the floor and being uncomfortable. Don't let the bao buns fool you. They are a meal unto themselves. The server described as 2 biters - it was 4 or 5 for me. Shrimp was fried a delicious golden brown, mayo was on point not too much, not too little, and other accoutrements overall complemented. The crab fried rice - the bowl itself was hot and I couldn't understand why the rice itself wasn't. It was tasty nonetheless w/bites of shrimp or crab in every bite. Overall, this is a fantastic new addition to the S. Charlotte dining scene.

    The updated menu is great, it is closer to more Cantonese style food instead of fusion. All the dishes are delicious. The service still great and the restaurant is still nice and pretty. Will have to come back to try their Dim Sum.

    Excellent food! The Chinese eggplant with garlic sauce is delicious, as was everything else we tried. We came here 3 days in a row while in the area, we couldn't get enough.

    Beef fried rice

    Went for lunch today (11/29) and the food was overall pretty solid, but the service definitely needed support. There was only one server working the entire dining area, and it was obvious she was overwhelmed. A man behind the bar stood watching but only stepped in once to help while we were there. I found it baffling that he didn't help more. I get wanting the primary server to keep the tips, but it shouldn't come at the expense of basic customer service. We wanted to ask for chopsticks after our food was served, but our server didn't return to check on us until we were nearly done eating. When we asked for to-go containers, it took another 15-20 minutes because she was so slammed. Food rundown: Crispy duck (half): 3/5 Skin was pretty crispy, but a lot of pieces had thick layers of fat that should've been rendered out better. Open Rice's crispy duck is significantly better. Beef chow fun: 4/5 A bit underseasoned, but the beef was tender and the noodles were cooked well. Could have been more generous with the bean sprouts and scallions. Beef fried rice: 4/5 The beef pieces were a little too large for fried rice, but tender. Odd that pork isn't offered as a protein option here, which is what we usually get. Offering char siu pork would be a major plus on the menu. Sesame chicken: 4/5 The steamed broccoli was cold for some reason, but the chicken itself was tasty. Overall, the food is decent and we'd consider returning if we lived closer.

    Lettuce wraps yum

    Been here twice and I'm a fan! The lettuce wraps and squid appetizer were so flavorful, Nothing like I have tasted before. The Mongolian trio has plenty of plump shrimp, chicken, and beef. The Singapore noodles were one of the best we have had. The atmosphere is warm with stylish décor, and not too loud making it a great place to have a date night or catch up with friends. The cocktails were also on point! Prices are fair for the quality and portions. Will be coming back!

    Cantonese Beef Chow Fun
    Ryan P.

    This place was a nice surprise. The restaurant is nicely decorated and very, very clean inside. They have flowers on the tables too. The service was very good - I asked for some recommendations and went with several of our server's suggestions. We started with chicken gyoza and the crabmeat wontons (basically rangoons). The gyoza was connected by a lacy fried top which was really interesting. We had the Cantonese Beef Chow Fun and the Singapore Curry Chicken. The curry was awesome - but the beef dish was a little bland. Overall, I'm giving it 5 stars because it was a good experience with very good pricing.

    Gyoza
    Evan D.

    Tucked in the McIntyre Commons plaza in Pineville, right near the Amazon warehouse. It's a modern Asian-fusion spot with a wide-ranging menu that leans American-Chinese but blends Korean, Thai, and Japanese influences too. Inside, the space is clean and simple, some might say too simple. There's not a single piece of art on the walls, which makes the space feel a bit empty and doesn't help the acoustics. That said, the chairs are comfy, the bar is fully stocked, and yes, they serve Cheerwine. Our server Sylbi was warm and attentive. She explained that the concept is fusion-focused, not traditional. You'll find dishes like Shanghai-Style Beef Borscht and Cheese-Baked Filet Mignon alongside familiar favorites. Here's what we tried: * Chicken Gyoza: Served under a crispy, lacy cracker-like pancake that added a satisfying crunch. Not overly doughy like some spots in town. * Crab & Brie Wontons: Crispy on the outside, stuffed full inside. Tastes like a classic crab rangoon. The brie was hard to pick out, but the filling was clearly house-made. * Chicken Egg Roll: Packed tightly and not overloaded with cabbage. One of the better versions I've had locally. * General Tso's Chicken: I asked for no spice and still got a mild kick, but it was tolerable. The chicken was crispy, flavorful, and came with a side of steamed white rice. The plating wasn't anything flashy, but everything tasted fresh and light, not greasy or overly salty. Prices were fair, especially considering the portion sizes and variety. This isn't an authentic Chinese restaurant, and it doesn't try to be. It's casual, Americanized Asian-fusion done with care. If you're nearby, it's worth checking out.

    Crab Rangoon
    Heather K.

    Very good Chinese food! It's very nice inside for being in a strip mall type building. Service was prompt and the server was well versed in the menu. We ordered the crab Rangoon, general tso chicken and beef chow fun. Everything was hot, fresh and above all, not greasy! My only small gripe is that a simple vodka soda was $12 but that is not uncommon in this economy. We will be back to try more adventurous dishes.

    10 out of 10!! This place is awesome!! Highly recommend! 1/2 off wine bottles on Thursday!!

The Singapore noodles were packed with flavor and had a nice spicy kick. If you're not big on spice, I'm sure they can tone it down if you ask. The Wan Fu Scallops were tender and just as delicious.

As far as atmosphere, it's super casual, no cocktails, not much in the way of ambiance. Think of it as primarily for takeout, with table service. No matter! You come here for the huge portions of Chinese comfort food. Service is excellent and friendly. I could've spent a half hour with that menu, as I wanted to make sure I ordered the right things. This is the perfect place to share, as with many Chinese food that's done right and well, you order protein dishes apart from vegetable dishes. So we had Beijing veg duck, dry pot, eggplant with basil (they were out of the string beans that I really wanted to try) and shumai to start. All of it was delicious. I knew the eggplant was a bit of a risk, as so many places will serve you rubbery, bitter horrors. Not the case here! It's sweet with melt-in-your-mouth texture and I appreciated that it had other veggies mixed in with the generous portion of eggplant. The protein dishes are full of taste and texture-- no need to add seasoning to the dry pot (perhaps a little more spice but they have red pepper flakes on the table). I'd expected more of a bean curd skin/yuba for the duck, but instead it's seitan (I believe) and chewy in a good way. The shumai was tasty but too starchy and full of rice when I expected protein. Not sure I'd order that again with so many other tempting apps, including other dumplings, on the menu. If this were in my neighborhood, I'd be over the moon, because I'd finally have a viable option for good Chinese takeout. As a vegan, normally I'm regulated to the same old Buddhist's Delight. Ma Ma is such a treasure.

It is busy enough that plenty of other people had also called in for takeout. The price was higher than I thought it would be by a significant margin; I thought something was off but then rechecking their menu I saw it was indeed $20 for a vegetable entree. On the upside, they did offer brown rice at no extra charge. Still, I'll get three meals out of it and as someone who eats a lot of takeout, this was not a great value. In terms of quality, I was thrilled to find that they offered a stir-fried okra dish. This is a ubiquitous Indian dish, and of course okra is common throughout the tropics globally, but I'd never seen this offered at a Chinese restaurant before. And the rapid cooking technique typical of the cuisine produced a delightfully crisp vegetable, which went great with a black bean sauce and some very hot dried chilis. On the other hand, their interpretation of ma po tofu had some fermented broad beans but minimal vegetables (sometimes you get mushrooms or peas or at least some leeks or something) and no numbing sensation. They had a bean curd roll dish that I enjoyed, and some quality dumplings. Overall, not huge portions and a mix of okay to great quality.

This was the only saving grace of the meal. ==The Bad== The wonton soup was lacking a bit in salt, which i understand may be a personal taste preference, but there also wasn't any particularly strong flavor from the wontons so the whole dish just felt dissatisfying. The sauce in the Mongolian beef wasn't very savory so it, too, came off a bit bland. To their credit, the cuts of beef were actually quite good and the vegetables were decent, but without a solid tasting sauce the whole thing falls a part. ==The Ugly== The teriyaki chicken skewers were just chicken with teriyaki sauce poured over them.
