I went for the oxtails, but they were out, so we ordered the lobster and grits, along with the lobster grilled cheese. The grilled cheese came out almost 10 minutes later than the grits. Our server took our order and we never received anything else from her. Had to go get our silverware. We then asked for lemons, after about 10 minutes,she was serving the table beside us and then said "they are cutting up some lemons."We waited about another 10 minutes (which I was finished with my food) she is cleaning the table beside us and said " oh they are out of lemons " We just asked for our check, paid and left. read more

+ heard about kulture for quite a while & finally was able to step into the kulture for the first time last night. the ambiance is a cool spot to catch a game or chill with friends. there is a spacious bar as well as a patio area that will be grand to take up the vibes in the trendy noda area of charlotte. i ordered the cheese pizza (as i don't eat beef or pork) but as sat there, the star was the oxtail pizza which i observed many order during that time. i also ordered the chicken philly egg rolls which were absolutely amazing. so good in fact, i needed an order of the rolls to go! there are several options of appetizers as well as entrees so whatever path you choose, it'll be the right one. the service was great & full of hospitality. specifically, lakesha was amazing read more

The food her is amazing!! I got the Oxtail pizza. I've been wanting this pizza for a while and it did not disappoint!!!! The Oxtail was seasoned and tender. The pizza had plenty of cheese! Omgeee the crust was butter garlic. Sooo delicious. They were very crowded but that's to be expected with the delicious food! The wait wasn't too bad. Free street parking is available or a paid parking lot is not far from the restaurant. Definitely worth trying. I'm building a list of dishes to try next. read more

Stopped here for lunch with a friend. We ordered the brussels sprouts which were OK. They did have spicy peppers in them. That was not listed on the menu so that was an unexpected twist. The salmon tacos were quite delicious but the chicken birra tacos were subpar and were not extremely flavorful according to my friend. It did take a while for us to get our checks, but I would come back. The service was good. The server was extremely nice, but they also were not busy at all. The vibe was great love the music that they were playing. read more

Food was great. I ordered the Cajun salmon , shrimp lobster pasta dish. The noodles were a little in seasoned but the meat was very flavorful. We also ordered the bang bang shrimp that was seasoned perfectly. We should've asked for more sauce on the side. You barely get any sauce on the shrimp. The hot and honey wings were delicious. The negatives I would say are the drinks and the service. The drinks were not good. Our waitress got our order wrong. I could tell other servers seemed more professional read more

Random visit to Kulture with my bestie. The idea was to order through DoorDash for pickup but found out that they stop walkout orders after 4pm. We walk-in and greeted by the hostess, super personable and welcoming. We ask for takeout when we were told about the 4pm. With the help of another extremely helpful female bartender. They put us at a table and ordered our food and would bring out to-go plates when our food came out. Win-win! The bartender asked if we wanted a drink and since we would be waiting we grabbed 2 cocktails. Food came out and they mentioned we didn't need to rush out so we ended up staying to eat. Very kind and helpful staff & attentive. I'll definitely be coming back to experience the waiter staff or I'll maybe just stick with the bartender and sit at the bar lol. read more

Came here for lunch after making a reservation online, though it didn't seem to register in their system. The space is big and lively with an eclectic crowd. There's both indoor and patio seating, we sat on the patio by the windows, which had great natural light. The menu has a lot of roll options to choose from, we tried the steak rolls, which were just okay. Drinks were a bit disappointing. I had the tiki punch and it tasted flat. The highlight of the meal was the oxtail shrimp pasta which absolutely delivered. Rich, flavorful, and easily the best thing we ordered. Definitely worth coming back for. We also had the red velvet cake. It was good, but overpriced for what you get, more like a jumbo cupcake for $15. Service was great. Our server was friendly, attentive, and kept things moving smoothly. Overall, a fun, energetic spot with a standout dish. I'd come back specifically for the pasta! read more

If you have seen any of my other reviews then you know 5 stars are reserved for when I return and the food is consistent which I have no doubt in my mind that it will be! Stopped by for the lunch specials and they are a great deal! Several items on the $10 menu including the chicken bacon ranch pizza. I thought it would be like a personal 4 slice pizza. Nope it was huge! I sat at the bar and the service was fast and the music was good. The strawberry henny was delicious. I'll definitely be back! read more

Kulture definitely came out swinging with the fusion menu! My party had a hard time choosing between all of the decadent looking options. While enjoying strawberry Henny cocktails, we settled on some wings, grilled cheese with birria, spicy ramen, and oxtail and seafood Alfredo. As you can see from the pictures, the plates were loaded! Every bite was delicious. The service was also excellent and we were very well taken care of. I have to come back to try more of the menu! We left waddling and happy! read more

Checked out Kulture in NoDa for brunch on Sunday. It's decent. Didn't love it. The Bang Bang Shrimp appetizer was quite tasty and prepared well, but it arrived AFTER we had finished our entrees. Need some kitchen management there. Presentation was nice for all dishes, but my grits were lumpy and the salmon was under seasoned. Companion seemed to enjoy the Jerk Chicken sandwich. The ladies next to me were HIGHLY disappointed with their food. They said there was too much gristle in the oxtails and the nachos appetizer was a bust. Maybe it was an off day. Service was great tho. All in all, not a destination spot for me. read more

Been a fan then and I'm an even bigger fan now. Watching this Black-owned restaurant level up into a new space? Love to see it. Let's be clear: the food? Still hitting. We ordered just about every appetizer (because self-control clearly wasn't on the menu), plus wings, Kulture rolls and that short rib pizza--and not a single miss. Everything came out hot, fresh, and fast. You know it's real when the table gets quiet because everybody's too busy eating. But what makes this place special goes beyond the plate. The chef isn't just cooking--he's building something. Pouring into the next generation of chefs and entrepreneurs, creating opportunities, and showing what's possible. That kind of impact? You can feel it the moment you walk in. And the service? Top-tier. Attentive, welcoming, and on point without hovering. It's been a minute since I've experienced food and service this good in the same space. This isn't just a restaurant--it's a whole vibe, a whole movement. If you haven't been yet, fix that. Immediately. Rave. Repeat. Bring friends. Order everything. read more

5 stars across the board! The Oxtails and Shrimp Pasta (mine was minus the shrimps) was excellent! I tore that bad boy up! And I helped tore up my girls Oxtail Pizza! I was tearing things up all day Saturday 6/13. Excellent service and a great atmosphere. You must try this place out when you're in Charlotte. So much food to try. I'll have to come back for another visit. read more

Food is great served hot and tasted amazing. The vibe in the place was nice on a Saturday at 5 p.m. Wait 90 minutes, no digital system just a notebook and name call; and the only reason for the 4-star. However, we grabbed a seat at the bar as a couple left. Bang Shrimp crispy large and drizzled--I enjoyed this over smaller and drenched. Shrimp and Oxtail Alfredo all paired well together on the plate. Shrimp grilled and seasoned well, placed over perfectly cooked noodles lightly tossed in Alfredo; went perfectly with the tender Oxtail light-gravy. I was surprised that they tasted so well together. Will visit again...hopefully there will be a digital system for the waitlist--I want to 5-star this place. read more

Unfortunately so disappointed in Kulture restaurant. Dont get me wrong...the food is AMAZING. Like really good. The part that got me fuxked up is how do you charge a mandatory gratuity because our bill was more than $100. And when I say charge a mandatory gratuity im not talking about $10 or $15 ...they added an additional $32 to my bill of $154. For context, the entre i ordered was $36. In addition to the unnecessary $32 gratuity added to my bill, they also charged an addition $7 to my check for paying with a debit card. Id this ain't the definition of greed and taking my money ... I dont know what else is. I have never been to a restaurant that charges you a fuxking fee for spending money with the. NEVER AGAIN. good food or not. I should be able to CHOOSE how I want to spend my money! read more

No alcohol. Subpar food overall (except the oxtail grilled cheese - pizza is overrated). Rude service. Deceptive tipping practices (automatic 18% added to bills over $100 written in microscopic print) so there is no incentive for servers to be excellent. Unfortunately, this was a disappointing experience and I doubt we will be back. Tip: IF YOU GO, get separate checks for everyone at the table to control how you tip your server. read more

I rarely leave negative reviews, but my experience at Kulture NoDa was so disappointing that I feel obligated to share it. I visited on Juneteenth with a group of coworkers who had all taken the day off to celebrate together. Before arriving, I had even messaged the restaurant to let them know a large party was coming. Their response was, "That's fine come on in we will take good care of u guys. See you soon" Unfortunately, that couldn't have been further from what actually happened. When I arrived, I informed the host that I didn't have a reservation but was expecting a large party and asked what the largest table available would be. She told me they could accommodate up to 12 people and explained that at least half of the party would need to be present before being seated, which was completely understandable. However, throughout the interaction, the host seemed extremely timid, difficult to hear, and lacked the confidence needed to effectively communicate with guests. While waiting for my coworkers, I sat at the bar. Despite there being multiple employees behind the bar, including what appeared to be a manager, I sat there for 5-7 minutes without anyone acknowledging me or offering service. Several employees walked by without even a greeting. The only reason I eventually received service was because a woman who had just clocked in noticed I hadn't been helped and took the initiative to assist me. About 30 minutes later, my coworkers began arriving. Once five of the twelve were present, I checked with the host to see if we could be seated while waiting for the rest of the group. She told me yes and asked for a moment. Shortly afterward, when eight people had arrived, she attempted to seat us at what appeared to be a five-person table. When I questioned where the table for twelve was, she responded that I had told her there were only five people. That was never the case. I had simply provided an update on how many had arrived. I then asked how long it would take for a table of twelve to become available. First, I was told it would be a 45-minute wait because reservations were arriving. Then, almost immediately, I was told it would only be 10 minutes because two tables were getting ready to leave. I watched employees clear and prepare those tables, assuming they were being readied for my group. Instead, the host and a manager in a gray polo seated another party there. What made the situation worse was the complete lack of communication afterward. No one came over to explain what had happened, provide an update, or acknowledge the confusion. The host actively avoided eye contact, and we were left standing there wondering what was going on. At that point, I gathered my coworkers and decided to leave. If I'm going to spend my money somewhere, I want to feel seen, valued, and respected as a customer. Unfortunately, Kulture NoDa failed on all three. What makes this experience especially disappointing is that I was genuinely excited to support a Black-owned business, particularly on Juneteenth a day that holds significant meaning for our community and our history. Instead, my first visit turned into one of the worst restaurant experiences I've had. If you're considering dining here, go in with an open mind and understand that service may be inconsistent or nonexistent. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend Kulture NoDa, and unfortunately, I won't be returning. read more

We came to Kaltura, Noida. Bibi was not our server, but we saw her the whole time. She was constantly busy -- sitting at tables, helping customers, and making sure everyone was taken care of. She even helped us get some to-go boxes. She was friendly, attentive, and incredibly hardworking. Next time we come back, we definitely want to sit in her section. Great job, Bibi. read more

Myself and colleagues came yesterday after work to wind down and catch up on life events. I ordered the burger "best of both worlds". It was delicious. The server was attentive and check on us. A gratuity will always be added to the bill. After we ate and 5 min. After paying the bill, we stayed seated to discuss our next move but was rushed away. My friends may give their own opinion. read more

Kulture is an amazing addition to the NODA area. The food, drinks and service exceeded my expectations. They have weekly drink and food specials.

I drove 2.5 hours to this place after traveling to his smaller location for years just to be told at 9:43pm they werent letting anyone in and wasnt taking to go orders! Very unprofessional! I sat and watched them turn away several people and refused to let them in! After 6 years of supporting he has lost a customer! Ill never come back! The "manager" short black lady would not serve us and it wasnt packed! Saying they are 30 mins behind in the kitchen! If yall cant handle the crowd go back the smaller take out Only location! read more

Enjoyed a wonderful lunch, with awesome options. Our waitress, BB was very attentive to us. She provided great options that allowed us to make great food selections. BB was very personable and fun, which was a plus! My friend and I tired the oxtail pizza and salmon rolls, which were both full of flavor and very filling! Looking forward to visiting again! read more

The food is Soooo Gooood!! The chef made it with love. I enjoyed my time and the food. The Philly Egg rolls were delicious.

It's so unfortunate that black owned businesses usually are the FIRST to let us down. I visited kulture on Father's Day, which was also my boyfriend's birthday. We arrived at 4pm and were told that they would not start back taking names for the waitlist until 5 pm. I understand restaurants get busy, but to completely stop taking names for an entire hour is crazy. When there are multiple empty tables and people are leaving as well. So much business was lost on that alone. At 4:45 I was talking to someone else waiting on a table who walked up after us and was told that their name was taken for the waitlist... excuse me??? I go inside and speak with "miss jay" who says "yes I remember you, there are 8 parties already on the list". So when exactly did she start adding names to the list because I was told 5 is when the list would resume...? That was a big problem for me. I've worked in the restaurant business for YEARS and know that being organized is essential to run any restaurant. And this place is not. I asked her why others were added to the list and we were told to wait and she stated "it's no big deal everyone will be say within 2 mins of each other" which we were indeed NOT. We finally sit down around 5:30 and order. Every person's food came out at a different time. We were already finished eating and my mother's food hadn't even hit the table. I then asked for a manager and was met with "miss jay" again who was passive aggressive and unhelpful. She says our name was delayed to be added to the waitlist because we were a party of 5. Ma'am in what world does that even make sense?? She took zero accountability and even gave us a hard time about taking food off our ticket that we had not received. Ultimately greed, disorganization, and nasty attitudes will lead to the demise of this place. And trust me I've seen sooooo many spots come and go. I won't be back and would strongly advise you eat elsewhere!! read more

Stopped in here spur of the moment and SO glad we did. The food was amazing - hands down the best tasting and prettiest bang bang shrimp I have ever had. Our server, Niya (forgive the probable botch job on the spelling) was friendly, welcoming and very attentive even though we were drinking water and sharing items so not a high dollar table. I highly recommend it and am looking forward to returning soon! read more

Food was good, but slow in receiving orders. Needed more servers. Believe once they have a full staff it will be a great place to go.

The food, service and atmosphere is next level. We had the oxtails twice, once dinning in and the other was a DoorDash delivery. We also had the salmon roll app and curry chicken pizza. Anything item on the menu is excellent. Can't wait to visit again. read more
