“I’ve heard about Anju through some people that I follow on social media. They have only posted amazing picture and said great things about this place and I can confirm they’re on point with what they say. Charlotte needs a restaurant like Anju, bringing diversity, something new and executing delicious food and welcoming service! I treated myself to a solo dinner and it was exactly what I needed. David, my bartender, guided me through the menu with both food and beverages. We made great conversation and it was just a great experience overall. Anyone who enjoys good food and something new should definitely take the opportunity to come here!“

“Went here with friends. This is a first-time experience for us. We had a great waitress who explained how to order and cook food at our table. We were told we could order as much as we wanted and have 2 hours to eat. Any wasted food we didn't consume we would be charged per pound. The food selection was the K pot meals and the BBQ. We could order from both menus but $5 would be extra for the BBQ. Some of the meats such as prime rib or lamb were sliced paper thin, as were the soft tofu, all cooked in less than a minute and were not satisfying. The steak and short ribs were a decent size and fairly tender. Vegetables took the longest time to cook and I suggest to cook them first before one cooks thicker foods. I tried the mushroom soup and didn't like it. But my dining mate ordered the spicey Thai Tom yum soup and liked it. The chicken bulgoki just ok. Overall some items we ordered were satisfying ,others not so much. There was a sauce bar which also had French fries and small fried chicken tenders, all average tasting. There are vegetarian and vegan choices for soups, vegetables and noodles. Plenty of Beef, chicken, seafood , soy and pork items to choose from. Although the restaurant is clean the loud pounding repetitive background instrumental music was not conductive for a relaxing meal. We were glad we experienced this type of dining but decided once was enough for us. It can be a bit overwhelming when raw items placed on a small table area are waiting to be cooked. I suggest get a few items, cook and eat and order more as you wish Our meal per person for both hot pot and BBQ, was $35 .“

“I always enjoy my meal here. It's yummy, fast and quality ingredients. I like that they make their own sauces in house that you can add to your kdogs, and they come in the kupbap bowls. It's also the only k-dog place I know of in Charlotte that makes their own batter fries them fresh in front of you. My favorite thing is that they have a bunch of Korean drinks to try. And the owners are really nice. The food hall itself is nicely decorated with a lot of plants and comfortable seating.“

June Lee Korean fried chicken Chicken Shop •
8206 Providence Rd #1600, Charlotte

“Good food, good service. The chicken is consistently crispy and delicious. They have a great selection of sauces and offer both bone-in and boneless wings. The guy who is always at the front is quick to greet customers and goes out of his way to ensure that everyone has a good experience. They always bring napkins and utensils to the table, which I appreciate. The last time I went we received pickled radish with our order, so yum! They also have other sides and dishes like tteokbokki, but their chicken is definitely my favorite thing on the menu. The seating area is small and a lot of people place to-go orders. Definitely worth a visit!“

“Food and customer service are great. Keep in mind that if you're coming with a large group, then you must arrive together to eat at the same time. Otherwise, they're very strict about not letting you get a table or order anything until everyone's arrived. I wouldn't recommend doing your birthday here because on my birthday all they did was give me a moon pie, which I thought was terrible. If you want a really sweet birthday, go to KPOT Korean BBQ and Hotpot because there the staff literally will come with a lit up sign, pastry, and enthusiastically sing for you, which we witnessed.Parking: Depending on what day/time you come here, parking can be a pain.“

“As a black person, This is a unique restaurant to eat at. The food was really good. If you want the full flavor of the food, I recommend of only having water as your beverage. The meal i had was the fluffy egg sandwich (5 out of 5) which has a sweet taste to it and I also had the potato k corn dog with ketchup on it (4 out of 5). The Classic Egg Toast is huge like the size of your hand. The corn dog had fried dice potatoes and ketchup on it. The corn dog is unique because they do add some type of sugar to it. I haven't tried the other parts of the menu but when I do, I'll make sure to share more of my experience on here.“

“After reading one of my other pho reviews of other pho places I'm Charlotte I've really been contemplating one question: What is the quintessential American pho experience.Now, personally, I prefer the tight, small, let's say "quaint" vietnamese places preferably with a bunch of dudes outside smoking and/or playing cards. There has to be some kind of gambling machine nearby. The music is vietnamese. that kind of stuff.Be-em has truly nailed it. Heart mind and body. There's no host, no server to seat you, you walk in and order from a nice big tablet. Take your time. Read through it all. It's touchscreen so it's very intuitive. I love it. Really feels like more restaurants need to follow exactly Be-ems lead.For the heart, this place is beautifully decorated with high ceiling and just it's a while vibe you gotta check out. For the mind, there are these laminated papers that have the story behind the restaurants name and frankly it almost brought a tear to my eye, really soothes the soul to see hard work pay off and be so real. For the body, well ultimately this is why every one eats, the pho was great! Definitely a google maps 5 star. I will now include what I call my "graduated pho scale" which is the most critical lens with which I grade wherein a 10 is essentially michelin star so-to-speak. This pho gets a 7 which is very good. The broth for me was a little salty but the meat was excellent. That reminds me I gotta rant about this meat cuz it was really really good. The pho got a 6 but the meat elevated it to a 7 for sure.You can really taste how they pride themselves on the meat I loved how the brisket had a smokey quality and I've never gotten more meatballs served to me in a pho "special" although I don't think it came with tendon or tripe. That said, this is probably the best experience for first time pho tryers and for kids! They have lots of Boba tea options and pho is only a little bit of the menu there are lots to try!Overall experience was a 10/10 this isn't just a restaurant it is a total hang out spot like get a drink with your friends and chill super cool kind of place!“

“The food was absolutely incredible! One of the most unique restaurant setups I've ever had the opportunity to witness. I had a lychee temple, fire chicken, and kimchi fries (all of which were delicious ?). They had kpop videos playing on their TVs. The only unfortunate thing was that their Internet wasn't working so there would be moments of silence, however, this issue was solved. It had a modern feel but not the type of bland modern that you see within houses, it was more of a just updated atmosphere. You choose where you sit (nobody seats you) and you go to the bar to order. Overall, I will be coming here again, hopefully, they're able to reopen soon ?“
