    Sashimi Salad
    Skye A.

    We came here before going to a concert in the area. We arrived just before 5. There is a parking lot so that was helpful. It started getting busier the longer we were there. The service was very friendly, and we didn't lack for refills or being checked on. I got the cherry blossom roll, and my husband had the Alaska Roll. He was very pleased, because it wasn't loaded with a ton of rice. My roll was really good as well. He also ordered the sashimi salad and loved it. The presentation was wonderful and everything looked really fresh. We enjoyed our visit and will be back in November when we have another concert to go to.

    First time here and I got here at 8 and it was not busy at all. They do have their own parking lot so parking is not an issue. The service is nice. They are nice and attend to you. The food was decent. Usually when I get salmon carpaccio, the pieces are smaller but these pieces were big. Which big isn't bad but does that mean it's quality fish. Still delicious as far as I can remember. The beef black bean sauce dish was okay. It was good but not good good. Good portion. The ambiance is a small vibe. Like it's not fancy, more of a take out spot. It's pretty small inside. It is on a road that is very busy so turning into their spot might be a while. They do charge a customer fee (2.99) which I've never seen before. It's kinda inconvenient and don't know why that is necessary. It was a last minute option place but I wouldn't go here again.

    The service here is always quick and great! The food is priced really well and the quality is great!! I got the orange chicken and dumplings and they're incredible! [[HIGHLIGHT]]I also love how clean the restaurant is[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] and [[HIGHLIGHT]]the vibes are great.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Sashimi Salad
    Ally F.

    The Aesthetic: Family-friendly sushi restaurant with lots of booths, no-frills, plain atmosphere. The Price: Slightly cheaper than some of my regular sushi spots in CLT, which was nice. The Value: You get a lot of food here for what you spend, the sashimi salad I ordered was loaded and below market price compared to its competitors. The Parking: They have their own lot, but it looks like it could get packed and full on a weekend night. My Order: I enjoyed the Sashimi Salad with a side of ginger dressing. I did not enjoy the Salmon Dream Roll, the description didn't specify it would be doused in spicy mayo and it was way too mayo-tasting, I could barely taste the roll. The Conclusion: I enjoyed the Sashimi but not enough to make me want to add it to my list of favorite sushi spots in the city. The fish tasted a little cheap, and I didn't like that they loaded their sushi rolls in sauces to mask the fish. I enjoyed my meal for the most part and the waitress was great, but I honestly didn't love it.

    My first time ordering from here and got takeout sushi. I am fairly impressed with what I ordered - bogo spicy tuna rolls and the Niu roll. The cost of the sushi was fair, being less expensive than other restaurants. I did not expect the spicy tuna rolls to be big which was nice considering it is a basic roll and at other places they are usually smaller. I would definitely order from here again.

    7 years later just adding to my review! Still one of my favorite sushi places! They have the best Thai tea and the salmon, tuna are always fresh, excellent service, fantastic serving size of fish, really good eel as well. Always consistent. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Nice little local restaurant with a relaxed comfy feel.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    My husband and I came here with a friend and shared: - Firecracker Roll - Spicy Tuna Twist Roll - Cherry Blossom Roll - NIU Roll - Volcano Roll - Crab Wontons I was impressed by the rolls. I listed them above in my order of preference. The only one I didn't enjoy was the Volcano Roll. All of them (except the Volcano Roll) were pretty big too. They have small tables outside that are big enough for two people. We pulled a couple together. I hadn't heard too much about this spot as far as sushi goes, but I'm glad we stopped by.

    This sushi was so good. I literally can't even explain. Top 3 rolls I've had in Charlotte. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Not super busy on a Friday night which was nice.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Reasonable roll prices ~$14 a roll. Service was fast and friendly. Parking lot is kinda tight but not that bad. Go here!

    Solid delivery option. The firecracker roll was pretty good. The smoked salmon wasn't my favorite but was different and worth a try. You can't go wrong with the Sa Cha Beef or 401 Spicy. The latter is like orange chicken and is clearly their specialty.

    Hot day. Costco run complete. Charlotte traffic testing everyone's patience. That meant one thing:…read morecomfort food stop at Taipei Express. It was pushing 97 degrees outside, and after a long afternoon of computer work and errands, I finally stopped in for the crispy scallion chicken and pan-fried dumplings. Huge portions. Fair prices. Friendly people. Consistently solid food every single time. The best part today honestly might have been the air conditioning. They've got a cool, comfortable space to wait while your order is prepared, which felt amazing after baking outside all day. I forgot to take food photos because I was hungry and ready to get home, but trust me, they pack these takeout containers like a game of Jenga. Nothing spills. Nothing shifts. Everything is packed tight and thoughtfully. Only tiny downside: the dumpling sauce goes into the same container as the hot dumplings, so by the time I got home, it had softened the bottom a bit. Still, the dumpling wrappers are thick and crispy enough to survive the trip. Into the air fryer later they go. One warning: the parking lot can be chaotic since it sits right off busy Providence Road. Just be patient. Cars are constantly pulling in, backing out, blocking entrances, and today people were absolutely treating red lights like suggestions. Saw it multiple times, including a bus cutting across traffic when I had the right-of-way. Charlotte drivers... please relax a little. That said, the food made the trip worth it. Taipei Express is one of those dependable local spots that always comes through when you need a solid meal without spending a fortune. Life is too short to not eat well. Get out there and eat your way through Charlotte.

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.

    The fried rice and stir-fried okra together are amazing. Food is always good!…read more The ambiance is outdated but the service is exceptional.

It was our first visit and we wanted to try the curry. We ordered the Thai Red Curry and the Thai Green Curry. Both were perfection!

These were both very good and we added shrimp and chicken. I believe they would be just a satisfying with only the vegetables.

They genuinely did not taste like chicken at all, and I couldn't even finish them. I strongly recommend staying away from that item. I also tried to order a bubble tea without ice and was told I'd be charged an extra $2 because they would need to "add more juice." I didn't ask for extra juice, just no ice!!! And charging extra for that feels unreasonable and borderline price gouging. Ridiculous!!!! Between the poor food quality and the frustrating service, the overall experience wasn't great, and I won't be returning.
