Super solid spot when you're craving seafood! We came in for dinner on a Tuesday and were seated…read moreright away in a booth. Service was friendly and attentive. We got the snow crab legs & shrimp combo (which comes with corn and potatoes) and added on a 1/2 lb of sausage - which I highly recommend! This was the perfect amount of food for the 2 of us. We got our combo with garlic butter, and the puffed up plastic bag came with plenty inside! They provide a plastic bib along with gloves, but since the gloves were so large on me, I was having trouble getting to the meat in the crab legs and shrimp, so I ended up taking them off. This worked better for me during dinner, but I will say even after washing my hands, they did smell like garlic and seafood for a while after. This is a fun, interactive meal and the prices feel aligned with the quality and quantity. I'll be back to shake shake some more seafood soon!

Unfortunately We didn't even get the chance to eat here but will not be returning when much better…read moretreatment is 2 minutes away. When we walked in, the restaurant was nearly empty....literally only two tables were occupied. We specifically asked the host whether we could still order from the lunch menu since it was getting close to 3:00 p.m., and we were told yes. After being seated and waiting for our drinks, it was 3:18 p.m. When we went to order, our waitress informed us that we could no longer order from the lunch menu because it was after 3:00. If the cutoff was strict, we should have been told that before being seated, especially since we asked about it upfront. Instead, we wasted our time only to be given completely different information by another employee. The lack of communication between the staff was frustrating and unprofessional. We chose to leave rather than order from the regular menu. Hopefully management can improve communication so future guests don't have the same experience.

I want to preface this review by saying that I am a sushi connoisseur. I've eaten sushi all over…read morethe world so I know good sushi. I had high expectations when I walked in with my husband. It had a Michelin 2025 sticker on the front door so I thought it would be amazing. I want to say that the service was excellent. Very attentive servers, very professional, very friendly. The service was 5-stars for sure. Next, the food. We started with the miso soup and ginger salad. Miso soup was bland and the ginger dressing on the salad was super bland. We ordered the crispy spicy tuna and the steamed shumai next. The crispy spicy tuna was weird. The first taste bud stimuli was fishy and the last thing you tasted was McDonald's hashbrowns. Also, the chopsticks were very cheap and when you picked up the piece it basically fell apart. The presentation for the steamed shumai was horrible. It was served in a bowl with the chili garlic sauce in a tiny bowl on the side. The pieces were wayyy too big to pick up with the chopsticks and for the mouth. But if you managed to get the thing in your mouth, it was super hot and basically burned your mouth. Like there was no option to take a bite it was either shove the whole thing in your mouth or not eat it at all. The rolls we ordered were the Mr Crabby, which was the only good thing we ordered. The Naruto, which had too many layers of cucumber wrapped around it and the pieces were mini. The villain, a $25 roll with caviar on top, but the caviar was so sparse, it could barely be seen with the naked eye. Rainbow roll was ok but again, the pieces were tiny. Every roll was flavorless and the price point was stupid. $122 plus tip for a bland lunch was retarded. Super disappointed.

We had such an incredible experience here. By far the best sushi we have ever had. Everything from…read morethe service to the quality of the food was outstanding and exceeded every expectation. Being from California, we did not think our sushi standards could be topped, but this place completely proved us wrong. Some of our favorites were the salmon belly, the red snapper sampler, the yellowtail, and the slam on hand rolls. Everything was incredibly fresh and beautifully prepared. We also loved that they had Echigo beer, which is not easy to find and was a great addition to the meal. One thing that really stood out was how well balanced everything was. Nothing felt overwhelming or heavy, and every dish felt thoughtfully put together. Honestly, you cannot go wrong with any of the rolls here. I could not recommend this place more. An amazing experience from start to finish.

The food and service were amazing, although I wish there was more couscous in the bowl, it was delicious!

Nice special on a standard menu item was mine: the seared Halibut ($36). A good sized hunk of fish with a wonderful garnish of fruits lightened by a little citrus and vinegar. Excellent. Wife had a glass of wine at $15, a bit too high for us and a generous Chicken and Avocado Salad ($20). Did end up leaving my credit card there, so next day dropped by and there it was. The front guy did ask for ID, so if you leave something there, it looks like your server will get secured and no one but you will be able to get it back. Thanks, Noah. BTW: Juniper Grill is now imposing a 2.50% credit card surcharge. Must be getting stuff and harder to break out of the 3-star range.

At the time of this one star rating my friend, two lovely sisters we met at the martini paring and…read moremyself were being detained at the restaurant by the manager Sheila Hochstetler. We were accused of stealing a bottle of liquor. She and another employee blocked the door and told us the police were on the way. We attempted to show her our purses and she refused to look. None of us had what we were accused of stealing in our bags or on our person. She insisted and said "one of the 4 of you are on camera taking the bottle". We asked if that's the case, who? Which one of us? She refused. We waited for the police in order to vindicate ourselves. During this time, a male employee got in one of our faces, hands raised, yelling and aggressively using racial slurs. The manager defended HIM. Other employees then again accused us of stealing and said we are on camera. Once the police came, they said you can't tell who it is on camera. After we finished dinner, we went to the bar and ordered a drink. We sat and talked and then proceeded to leave. Who steals and then sits there and PAYS for more drinks? We each had a purse and a carry out bag with the rest of the main course. Imagine a small side salad sized container with a piece of overcooked steak they had the nerve to serve us. I'm saying this to say it is a very lightweight takeout bag and none of our purses were big enough to hold a bottle of liquor. I will be updating this thread when I have more time to get ALL of the details out. This story WILL be told. I have never experienced trauma like this!!! I don't have pictures of the food; it honestly wasn't that good anyway. Full review in the pictures. It was too long to put in the comments.

I really do love Super G Mart. I frequent both locations -- the one on Independence and the newer,…read morelarger store in Pineville -- and this one feels like a destination in itself, especially with the huge food court. As a transplant to Charlotte for work, I'm always searching for the ingredients and flavors I grew up with, and this place delivers. From the fresh seafood counter -- where you'll find beautiful tiger prawns -- to the endless rows of fish sauce, oyster sauce, and every variety of soy sauce imaginable (sweet, dark, mushroom, Japanese), the selection is impressive. The aisles are thoughtfully organized by cuisine and region, which makes navigating the store surprisingly easy, even if you're new to Asian markets. The frozen section alone is worth the trip. If you're looking for dumplings -- Chinese, Japanese, Korean, even Nepalese -- they've got you covered. And don't sleep on the handmade crepe cakes in the freezer. Yes, they're about $25, but they're stunning and absolutely delicious. Honestly, they rival the famous crepe cakes from Lady M in the San Francisco Bay Area, where those cakes can easily run over $100. At this price point, it feels like a steal -- and you'll definitely impress your guests. The produce section is another highlight. The ginger is incredibly fresh, and the variety is fantastic -- from gai lan and sweet chives to cebollitas (Mexican green onions) and crisp green beans. It's a true sensory experience for anyone who loves to cook. This isn't a trendy, boutique grocery store, and that's exactly the charm. It's old-school, practical, and stocked with the essentials. Toward the back right corner, you'll find pallets of noodles in every style -- Chinese, Vietnamese, Korean -- everything you could possibly need for home cooking. The butcher and fishmonger are also available to help, which adds a nice personal touch to the shopping experience. There's also a bakery inside with beautiful fruit-and-cream cakes -- the kind you'll recognize if you've ever celebrated in an Asian household. Light, fresh, and not overly sweet. And if you're a coffee lover, keep an eye out for Café du Monde coffee -- it's usually several dollars cheaper here than at typical grocery stores. A few friendly tips: * Go with a plan -- this place can be overwhelming in the best way. * Don't bring a big entourage unless they're ready to explore. * And if you visit the Pineville location, go hungry -- the food court alone is worth the trip. Both locations are fantastic, but the Pineville store is newer, larger, and especially fun to explore. Shop curious, cook boldly, and enjoy the adventure.

We will be back!

After perusing, I ordered a Tequila Mucho -- listed as a chefs special cocktail with pomegranate juiced tequila. It was refreshing.

Then I chose a blueberry lemon cheesecake dessert since Dustin said the cheesecakes were made in house and it sweet and tart and delicious. Overall, I enjoyed my experience and will be back!

The food…read moreand cocktails were good across the board --I especially loved the passion fruit pisco sour cocktail, which was refreshing and well-balanced. One thing that pleasantly surprised us was how reasonable the prices were, even for dishes like steak. It made it easy for everyone in our group to try a variety of items without feeling like we were overspending. The restaurant itself has a charming Peruvian-inspired decor that adds to the atmosphere and gives it a unique, welcoming vibe. Although we were the only customers during the two and a half hours we were there on a Thursday night, it didn't negatively impact our experience at all. If anything, it made for a relaxed and unhurried evening. That said, it does make me wonder if the shopping plaza location might be limiting their visibility, because the restaurant definitely deserves more attention. The service was great--our waitress was very kind and attentive throughout the evening. As a nice touch, one of our friends received a complimentary birthday dessert complete with a candle, which made the night feel extra special. Overall, I'd recommend Lola to anyone looking for flavorful food and cocktails, and a cozy dining experience.

After watching an interview with the CEO of Red Lobster, I decided to visit the Pineville location…read morefor the first time since moving to Charlotte 15 years ago. I placed an order for takeout, which was very easy online. When I arrived, they did have To-go parking spaces but I couldn't find a designated pick up area inside. There was a hostess podium, no hostess. So I entered the dining room to look for a pick up area, there wasn't any. The place was maybe 40% full, but diners were waiting at the bar for items missing from their meals. They were not happy. The vibe was very off. I gave my name and my order was brought out about ten minutes later. Regarding the quality of the food, my wife and her sister enjoyed their meal very much, so that's a plus. Will I return? Yes, probably. But it seems like more improvements need to be made to the product.

I felt the walk was too far for them. It started out with our waitress in the beginning she brought out the biscuits but no drinks a gentleman walked back there and we asked him to get our waitress after 20 minutes had passed. She came back took the drink order and disappeared again. The gentleman we were with walked to the front after 25 minutes had passed she kept making excuses she finally brought our drinks out. In a hurry tried to walk away but she was stopped by our group we told her we were ready to place our order. We had waited patiently by then an hour had passed. She proceeded to take our order. She wrote them down on a napkin??? The gentleman with us asked how long was it gonna take for us to get our food she said I don't know. I'm not the cook after that we waited another hour. still no food was brought to the table. The gentleman that was with us requested the manager the manager. Hope came to the table and said the waitress was extremely busy. She had another big crowd. She made excuses as well. We continue to wait patiently hope said she would get us some fresh biscuits. She walked off we asked again 30 minutes later where was our food? Hope came back to the table and apologize and still no food. We finally left at decided to leave at 8:15. We were never served any food as we were leaving. The waitress all of a sudden said our food was on its way out. We did not leave at the same time during the time we were waiting to leave. No one ever brought any food out to our table. I do not think they had any intentions of serving us. Service was horrible. The tables were sticky and dirty. We went here because they said they were under new management and the service was great. This was a big disappointment. We left and so did another big crowd left. We all were talking and walking out at the same time. They said they never got served either. For some odd strange reason there's a homeless couple living in the parking lot in a green vehicle trash is all around this car, it is an eyesore for customers. I don't see how you guys are allowing homeless people to live at the back of the parking lot. I must say I had concerns going to red lobster we were correct about our concerns. We said we would not go back. We ended up going to Shake Shake the seafood restaurant we had a good turnout. A bad situation turned into a great birthday celebration for our church member. Ted Lobster in Pineville needs new management coaching, teaching training you name it we need an apology. We were never served food. The waitress was getting aggravated because we was wanting to know where was our food and Hope was very nonchalant. This is definitely a training and teaching opportunity. Oh, and one more thing a few tables that were seated after us had their food but again we were never given any food. I hope this reaches the right person Red Lobster LOST a lot of business that day. No one cared.
