| - I was looking forward to coming to this place. I saw this as a hot new business in town and figured I'd check it out as soon as I get a chance. So the usual homie dinner turned into a double date dinner + my baby.
Our waitress was pretty attentive even when the dinner crowd starting trickling in. But the food is seriously lacking and confusing.
Is it a seafood spot?
Is it a cajun spot?
It is Asian?
.... it is all 3???
I mean I get the eclectic nature and vibe of this place, but it just wasn't hittin it for me.
Perhaps the only dishes that make sense to me are the boils. Perhaps I was really soured by the whole ramen gumbo concept.
Before I get to that. I ordered an Arnold Palmer until I saw the She's a Lychee. I LOVE lychee, so I was salivating over this. Yeeeeaaaa... not a winner. It was pretty watered down from jump and it could be because the entire glass is filled with crushed ice. Cute, but not effective in the flavor department. on the ramen...
The Ramen Gumbo was definitely a fail. I had a big clump of noodles mixed in the separated noodles and they were pretty gummy as opposed to the soft and slippery texture I was expecting. The gumbo gravy was meh. It was pretty thick and the flavor was nothing new or different from what I've had at other places. So I'm not sure why this even exists. This dish is just.... confusing.
The street corn was good. I did share with my husband and daughter so I only had a 1/3 of a corn ear which didn't allow me to savor the flavor, but it was definitely worth a try.
My husband ordered the shrimp boil which had a really good sauce. I'm not a fan of pork sausage, so I think it would have been better with turkey sausage. When they first brought it out, I didn't think it would be enough food; however, it ended up being more than enough. Luckily for me, my husband was kind enough to let me finish off his boil while he choked down the last of my ramen gumbo.
My homie had the kung pao cauliflower which was pretty good, but this including all of our food was room temperature. If there are dishes ready, just send them out. Don't have them sitting under a heating lamp until everyone's food is available. I appreciate hot food and maybe a "we're working on bringing out the rest of the food".
Iono man, this place is so so. The service is not enough for me to come back tho. Plus there are too many restaurants opening and closing in Charlotte. I didn't even get a chance to check out Nan Byrons in this same location before they closed.
On to the next spot...
