| - If you've never eaten at Soul Gastrolounge, you may be tempted to dismiss it, but if you do, you may be making the biggest mistake of your foodie life here in Charlotte. While it may not look like much from the outside, and climbing those fire-escape-style steps may look like a hazard, you will be rewarded upon entrance with some of the most delicious, food-forward tastes you will have ever experienced here in the Queen City. Not only is their sushi amazingly fresh and considered some of the best in town on many "best-of' lists, but the taste combinations are often amazingly radical even for most sushi devotees. Other non-sushi items are also what could be called flavor-wells due to the sheer amount of good tastes contained within. Even though by some standards the menu could be considered small, everything (if you are an adventurous eater) is constructed for what I call "optimum flavor density". You know how you can taste several flavors when sampling a glass of wine? When eating at Soul it seems like everything is gauged to make you experience multiple flavor combinations, all of them amazing. Some issues are present that may hinder your enjoyment and one is the restaurant is on the small side and tends to get packed quickly so there may be a wait. Another is the lack of parking in Plaza Midwood, which affects all businesses there, not just Soul. There is no parking specifically for the restaurant, so be careful were you park, many places in the area may tow your car. As long as you educate yourself on your parking options you will be fine but the drugstore across the streets tows as well as others so find a safe place where you can park for a few hours and enjoy your dining experience. This restaurant is amazing.
