| - In brief: Snarky attitude, mediocre food (literally where's the beef?! in my beef dish?), generic Asian fusion decor, but convenient location in downtown Charlotte.
I came here with some people and hoped for passable Asian food. Being that I live in NYC, I am Asian, I travel to East Asia to basically worship food and such, I ADORE food. I figured I will lower my expectations for what is delicious due to its proximity away from Asian-centric epicenters. I don't want to be unfair and judge them due to circumstances beyond their reach.
Yes, I love authentic Chinese food but I am also cool with Americanized Chinese food too. Please note the fact that the restaurant serves Americanized Chinese food isn't the reason for the low rating. I regularly order Americanized Chinese food when I want to confuse my mother and talk about crab rangoon. *smiles*
Here is the problem- our server has a major attitude problem! The two sisters who own the place need to keep in mind they are in the SERVICE industry- snarky comments won't help you. If you asked my table what we want to drink and one of us said hot and sour soup, don't roll your eyes and repeat your question as if my dining companion is an idiot! She wants to drink soup, so be it! What happened to the motto, "The (thirsty) customer is always right?" ;)
There were only a few slices of beef in my beef dish, super miserly it seemed about their portions overall. The vegetables have seen better days and yikes, I can taste the MSG. Presentation was non-existent. At least the food came to us piping hot!
It seemed that other people dining there had to flag down the waitstaff for simple requests such as water refills as well.
I will definitely NOT return.
