    Tried egg drop soup and pork fried rice. This was one of the better experiences I've had in the area. Super friendly, I will go back.

    Great food. Friendly owners. The prices are good and the hot and sour soup is a must have. Always a pleasure to visit this restaurant.

    This is the best Chinese takeout spot in Wilkes county in my opinion.

    Love this place! I'm from San Francisco Bay Area and since moving to Columbia SC five years ago;…read morebeen searching for dim sum. Finally found it here! Whenever I am up in Charlotte, I look forward to my meal here. I love going early on weekends (avoid the crowd and wait time) when they have cart service. So much to choose from. If dining when cart service isn't available, they have their regular menu and also a dim sum menu. It's not cheap, but the quality, service and atmosphere are worth the extra pennies.

    Open Rice Metropolitan offers a very traditional dim sum experience with the classic cart service,…read morewhich is something I always appreciate. Unfortunately, the execution didn't quite live up to expectations. Many of the hot items coming around on the carts--especially the dumplings and rice noodle dishes--were noticeably cold by the time they reached the table. Service also seemed strained; the restaurant appeared short-staffed, which made it difficult to get attention or request specific items. The portions felt small for the price point, and overall it didn't feel like a great value for the money. Despite that, the restaurant is absolutely packed every weekend, so clearly it has a loyal following. Having experienced incredible dim sum in places like Sugar Land, Texas, and especially throughout the San Francisco Bay Area, it's hard not to compare. Those spots set a very high bar, and unfortunately Open Rice Metropolitan doesn't quite measure up.
