Where is the Best Chinese Food in Charlotte, North Carolina?
I’ve been going to this place for a couple years now strictly for take out. I’ve never had any issues with my orders but I do have them repeat it back to me on the phone. Its always ready quickly and the food is fresh. The sauces are basic and the menu is your normal chinese american but its a great sort of old standby neighborhood chinese place. Pros + good prices, good foodCons – pretty straight forward food, nothing out of the ordinary
Now I don’t usually rant and rave about a restaurant’s food. But the Tangerine Chicken @ Jo Jo’s was grand!! All of our selections were excellent. The shrimp fried rice was very fresh: the shrimp were fresh and peeled and deveined properly. There was ample egg and sprouts but not too much onion. I was amazed there wasn’t an after taste! The beef was extra tender also. And when the menu says it’s spicy they mean it. This is the best Chinese Cuisine I have had in Charlotte and the service was great as well.
Okay so I spent eight (8) years in Sydney, Australia. Am married to an Asian and had “dim sum” almost every weekend. There is a very large population of Chinese in Sydney (they too have a Chinatown like San Francisco and NY). I moved backed to the USA and we chose Greenville, SC – and I realized how much I missed my trips for “dim sum”. We met another Asian couple who told us about this restaurant in Charlotte and said it was “ok”. My first impression was that they were not organized when greeting people (no real hostess) and just sat whoever walked up to them first. If I hadn’t been assertive I would have been waiting quite some time.They sat us in a part of the restaurant where the employees pushing the carts around didn’t see (nor did they bother to look) so we had to call out for them to bring over the food to us so we could look. Everything was either luke warm or cold. The chicken feet (one of my favorites) was surprisingly good as was the stuffed eggplant. However
