| - I must first start off that I am going to be a little biased due to someone I know who works here. However, that won't help much. I came here for a birthday dinner and at first glance I thought this place was neatly decorated. A very fusion-esque place with contemporary lights and dining space with small bar and a couple of TV's. This is under the Ally building in Charlotte so automatically I think of it as a lunch spot for those daily city workers.
Anyways, for the appetizer I decided to order and try out their fried calamari. I'm a calamari fan and I wanted to see what this place could cook up. What came out was a little disappointing. Yes, the calamari was fried, however there was absolutely no flavor. It did come with a sauce that just reminded me of some kind of duck sauce for spring rolls with a hint of spice. It was nothing special to me.
Then for the entree I ordered the hibachi chicken with mushrooms. Yet again, nothing special. I felt the shrimp sauce was a little watery, it didn't seem like normal shrimp sauce with the nice flavor coming out of it. The portions were very weird, as there wasn't enough rice nor chicken. But, I guess it's because it's cheap. (I had to order the calamari after eating the entree because I finished it so fast)
On the plus side, they were very nice and helpful with everything. The birthday girl had her fun and that was all that matters. In the end, this place is definitely a lunch place. Quick, in and out kind of dining that will get you back at the office.
