| - Since moving to Charlotte, I have had a lot of mediocre Chinese and Asian food in my quest to find a cheap and tasty one. Stumbling upon Gin Bu 401 is definitely a very happy accident.
My partner and I were on a quest for a new place to eat, and we could not find the place we were looking for. We were really hungry, and decided to go ahead and stop in here. Gin Bu looks fairly unassuming from the outside. We went on a weeknight, and it was not very busy inside.
For an appetizer, we decided to try the crab wontons, which were pretty delicious. They were a nice change from a traditional crab rangoon, although not too much different. My partner ordered the Singapore Rice Noodles, which came in a tasty curry sauce. He particularly loved that they reminded him of the noodles he used to get in his favorite Chinese restaurant. The dish was tasty and quite plentiful. I ordered the Dan Dan noodles, hoping they would be similar to a soba dish. The noodles were more like udon, but they were also pretty tasty.
What I really like is that they also deliver. We called last week and found out they deliver to our home, so I was all over that. Our delivery took about 50 minutes, but our food was still hot and delicious when it got there. I was quite impressed.
Their prices are pretty decent for the food they have. Both times we have eaten there for less than $25 (well, $30 with tip), and both of us had plenty of leftovers. Service was friendly and efficient, which is always appreciated.
This is definitely my new go-to place to get Chinese dishes. Maybe one of these days I'll have to try their sushi as well.
