Just a sweet little update for my favorite restaurant in Charlotte, if not the entire Southern East…read moreCoast. On every visit to Charlotte, I stop here 2-3 times, whether it's to meet up with friends and colleagues for lunch, to grab a quite bite before evening plans, to spend happy hours and dinners on that delightful back patio or to pick up that insane vegan dessert I've been craving. I mean, can it get any better than a spread of vegan elote corn, nachos smothered with beans, seitan, guac/queso/crema or my new favorite, the crunch wrap with a glass of something icy cold (I usually get a glass of something sparkling at the back bar). Since my last review almost 5 years ago, they sadly removed the matcha cruffin (that I still can't get out of my head!) and added in an entire display of sugary/spicy/chocolatey greatness (I'm still kicking myself for being too late on my way to the airport to get that lemon bar I'd been eying or the pumpkin BUNDT CAKE, ffs. What is wrong with me?) The sweetest owners, the loveliest staff from front counter to back bar to food runners and bussers. I adore Oh My Soul with every ounce of my being.

As many other reviewers have said, I really wanted to like this place but the overall experience…read morewas rough. Service was REALLY bad. You order and get your table number at the counter. Person taking our order was rude. Asked what he would recommend as a side given that we'd never been to the restaurant before. He just listed off all the sides and appeared annoyed by the question. We finished our order and he then cancels the tip screen and I didn't know why. He asks if I want a receipt and I say sure. Then I notice that they have an automatic "service charge" of 15% that isn't advertised anywhere in the restaurant. I'm not necessarily against restaurants doing this but it should be advertised. Also, you should have service if you're going to charge a "service charge." Our service consisted of a counter order and then someone who eventually brought out our food. Water was never even refilled. Vibe of everyone that worked there was angry and aggravated. Multiple people scowled at me walking through the dining room from the kitchen. One worker threw open the kitchen door obviously pissed about something. Everyone in the restaurant was waiting forever for their food and other tables would have one entree come out while the other person at the table waited another 15 minutes for their food. Food was nothing special. My wife liked her Mother Earth bowl which is why I'm giving two stars. My chicken sandwich was something out of a frozen box. Hush puppies and onion rings were standard. We only had water to drink. All of this cost us $54.20 total. Anymore this feels like a standard experience in an American restaurant unless you do someplace high end. Ok food, terrible value, terrible service, and junk fees. Like they're doing you a favor just being there. All of this for a restaurant that, as the walls show, is trying to convince you to become vegan. This won't do it guys. Do better if you really care about bringing people to your cause.

Although I don't travel to Charlotte much, if I do in the future, this will be a must stop. There's nothing bad to say about Sanctuary Bistro. Just go if you get the chance.

Everything was safe and tasted amazing. We didn't have to think twice about ordering, and it was well worth the money. Service is a 10/10. Very personable and kind, it made dining even more enjoyable. Food came out promptly and was HOT and very fresh! The atmosphere was so relaxing, too. It's a small dining area with soft lighting, making it very intimate. Nothing was overly loud or distracting and they encourage putting phones away, which adds to engaging with your party. In short, it felt like we could fully breathe and just enjoy our dinner. No worries or distractions in sight! We completely reccomend this place and bought the cookbook before leaving, because I was that good. P.S. Try the ravioli! It is a amazing!

The guys were working and being able to do the order myself actually leaves them free to work their magic in the kitchen. Of course if you have a question they will answer. The PEACH COBBLER LEMONADE was amazing, great suggestion from the Chef because my first choice was sold out. ! I got the Hearty Breakfast Burrito and it was very tasty but I was expecting more contents since it carries the description of "hearty", maybe that's just describing the ingredients and not the amount. Their homemade Salsa was super flavorful. I hope this business continues to flourish and sell out everyday! Had their Chili as well.... Loved every bite!!

I…read morewas a little confused on the entrance, but I discovered that it was a take-out joint with the door on the right. Prices are comparable to most vegan establishments. I ordered the extreme sweet potato which was not disappointing. (I was a little concerned that I was smelling gas on the inside but they maybe using it for cooking.) If in the area, I will try them again.

Taste of Soul is one of my favorite Sunday afternoon stops after church!

You can tell there is care in every dish, and it is wonderful to have a vegan restaurant in Charlotte that delivers comforting, delicious soul food without compromising on flavor. If you are looking for an excellent plant-based meal, Taste of Soul is definitely worth a visit!

I've been wanting to check this place out for a while and I'm glad I finally did. I wasn't sure…read morewhat to order, a lot of the menu sounds really good. I went with the nachos and was NOT disappointed at all. It was really tasty and a lot of food. I was a little skeptical of the pricing because it seemed a bit high. But that's kind of everywhere these days and at least this was a different kind of cuisine than I'm used to. The nachos were loaded with flavor and different toppings. I added the tofu crumble and omg. Really, truly a flavor party. It was a lot of food too, I didn't end up finishing it all. I loved this dish and will for sure be back for it again soon!! It didn't take long to get my order either, I waited maybe 5 mins. Can't wait to try other things too!!
