Open Rice Metropolitan

My favorite Dim Sum place.

The food tasted pretty good, and the service was excellent. The staff pushing the cart were especially attentive and very patient. However, there are two points that make me hesitant to return. First, the prices are inflated—one plate of chicken feet (with only three pieces) costs $8, while in New York or the DMV area, it would be at most $6. Second, they charged a 20% gratuity for a party of four. I always thought gratuity was only automatically added for parties of six or more. This is really outrageous.

I came here to celebrate my sister's birthday. The atmosphere was very nice. The lighting was a bit dim as I prefer a very bright space, but it was comfortable.

The food was surprisingly very good. I love the pork in the fried rice...delicious!

We tried the potstickers both boiled and fried. I definitely prefer fried over the consistency of boiled.

✅️ Chicken and Broccoli
✅️ Shrimp with Pork Fried Rice
⭐️⭐️⭐️ Udon with Black Pepper Sauce
⭐️⭐️⭐️ Jumbo Lump Crab with Shrimp Fried Rice - unfortunately it wasn't as tasty as anticipated
⭐️⭐️⭐️ Crab Rangoon

Overall the place is definitely nice to visit. I loved the pork fried rice so much, I went back later in the week for more. While there I decided to try the fried chicken and omg...hard pass. It was disappointingly flavorless.

Dim sum was pretty good. Love that the do the carts on weekends. Ordered dishes too and they were all fantastic and reminded me of the old school Chinese food I ate growing up.

This was my first time at open rice and I would definitely go back again soon. Everything we got was amazing, especially the crab ragoons and the fried rice.

The roast duck is delicious and the brine is authentic
Barbecued pork smells like stinky pork
The Shanghai Xiao Long Bao and fresh bamboo rolls were both dry and unpalatable.

I love Tim-Sum. My favorite is sticky rice wrapped with lotus leaf.

Got very sick after eating here. Do not eat here if you do not want food poisoning. Things must not have been stored at the right temperature. It is also not the best Asian in Charlotte, I’d give it a 50% compared to many restaurants in university area and Pineville. Waitress was also glaring at me for some reason. I guess I was somehow rude? I’m not entirely sure what I did or said exactly…

Edit: maybe I ordered the wrong thing the dim sum looks so good in all the pictures. But seriously though I got super sick.
