“Delicious food. We got kimchi jjigae, beef bulgogi soup, pork bulgogi and rice, and coffee. Everything was delicious including the banchan. Nice, clean and fast too. If you can't handle spice do not worry, it was all very mild but still delicious.”

“This place is top shelf. Quality food and drink choices. My husband and I both had steak. My filet was dry aged 30 days. It was perfectly cooked and very delicious! I also had street corn and a tossed salad. Both sides were perfection. They make their own beer and we both had an IPA. So, so good! Highly recommend.”

“Absolutely blown away by our experience at The One Tapas. Every dish was beautifully executed you can truly taste the attention to detail. The flavor profiles feel elevated and refined, when you pull in and see this hidden gem you would never expect for the fine dining experience you are about to receive. What really made the evening stand out was the personalized service and ambiance. The staff took the time to walk us through the menu, offer thoughtful recommendations, and made us feel genuinely welcomed the entire time. Between the exceptional food and the attentive service, this was easily a five-star experience. Highly recommend for anyone who appreciates refined flavors and a memorable dining experience.”

Well let me tell you, jets four corners deep dish pizza is now our favorite pizza EVER!! We are a bit addicted to this place. The staff are always professional and polite. The store is clean and inviting. They are also honest, I left my purse there accidentally and the staff kept it safe till I arrived the next day to pick it up.

Cheers Eric.”

It's so delicious and all of the noodles are al dente. They make the noodles fresh with each order. The flavors are amazing. They have vegetarian, pescatarian, leftoovo vegetarian and meat dishes.

We are a vegan family and they make everything special for you with zero animal broth. They are wonderful here. It's a little bit of a hike for us but so worth it. We had Vegan dumplings, Eggplant with garlic sauce and Tofu with mixed veg and it was all so fresh. Very happy with this place.”

I got the black tiger and OMG was this tasty and delicious! I like that they have a points system as well. I am not sure how it works or if they have an app but I am super excited to come back and try more !!! Very clean inside as well.”

“I have always taken my mom to the Golden Corral in Mathews for Thanksgiving since my grandmother passed and this is the cleanest and best Golden Corral I’ve ever been in. The manager runs such a great crew on busy holidays and he overlooks the dining room constantly making sure everybody is happy with service. He communicates very good with everybody and will help out his crew with any service someone needs. Such a great manager during these holiday times and me and my mom really appreciate this guy and all of his crew”

“They were super cool with my husband's service dog. Food was awesome. staff were friendly and nice. Would eat there again next time we are traveling through.”

“I had sushi one evening and Chinese the other. Both were outstanding. I lived in the Bay Area for years and always that was a high water mark, the food here was on par with the best I had out there.”

“The food is absolutely delicious! They give you great portion sizes, so don’t be intimidated by the price. Me and my mom shared a meal of the pad Thai. Moreover, the service is amazing. The lady who served us was so kind and thoughtful.

The curry was spicy and flavorful.

The stuffed water chestnut chicken was crunchy and tender

The pad Thai had a unique acidic taste that was super good.

The food came out shortly, so there’s not a big wait.

Me and my family were skeptical to eat here, as we’re new to the area. As we were discussing whether or not we wanted to eat here, a man all the way from West Virginia said this was his favorite Thai place. Nuff said, amiright? Eat here!!!!”

“We have been going to Osaka's for a number of years. They updated their menu recently as well as the quality of their product. The new menu and the changes to their product has been exceptional. It is our No. 1 place for Sushi in the area. I highly recommend it.”

“Down home cooking great variety, Southern Greek foods. Older restaurant with great food and great service. GREAT Service! We have visited several times and they always go over and above our expectations. We quickly noticed that although we may have an assigned table and waitress, the waitresses support one another. A family atmosphere like a friend invited you to "dad & mom's" house for a bite to eat, and mom and the family give it their all.”

“Christopher's is a good restaurant/bar with good service but lack of military discount was disappointing. 4/5”

“I went there tonight after a long day of work and ask for the Buffalo Pizza. I gave him full control of how to make the pizza the best and he delivered. Is co-workers even added their own personal touches and it was great”

“Visited Matthews, NC few days ago and had lunch here. The food was awesome (I had Jalapeno Poppers and Peter Piper burger), and so was the beer selection (I had a really good blonde ale (cannot recall the name unfortunately)). Service was great, and washrooms were clean. The place has a really cool vibe to it, looks like one would feel at home there while watching sports on one of the many screens.”

“Saw this place from the street after leaving a deli around the corner . Decided to get some to bring home . Had a bite to sample and was delicious ! Loved that they had a freezer section so could bring those home to sample at another time ! Also saw door dash delivery so after trying all we ordered I’m sure I’ll order more in the future ! Will leave pictures in comments !”

“I DEFINITELY would recommend Kim if you're looking for a makeover & perhaps you are looking for the "Master Stylist" look where everyone says " I love the new look. Who is your hair lady?" AWESOME!!”

“In one way yes we really like the Product, my husband and I have been using the product for 8 years now. On the other had it’s VERY frustrating with our monthly subscription. It Never ships on a timely manner and we end up running out before our shipment even leaves the shipping dock. It makes , buisness travel VERY DIFFICULT when we don’t have our product. Sure wish we could get it figured out SOONER rather than LATER!!”

“It was our first time coming. We came on wenesday which is 1/2 martinis !!! My roomate tried the shrimp and grits which were wonderful and full of flavor and seasoning. We had the shrimp pow pow which had a coleslaw that was Devine ! Plus the pimento cheese which is homemade and served warm. The tomato basil soup is actually homemade as well. Wonderful place and great portions for the buck !!!
Grace and Sarah are so helpful in navigating the drink and food menus, gave great recommendations, and served with a smile.”

“Very clean establishment, friendly staff, and the food is delicious. I especially appreciate the attention to detail. When it comes to separating the tree nuts from the rest of the bar ( i'm allergenic, and because they were in a completely separate container i felt comfortable accessing a lot more parts of the the toppings.)”

“We have been coming to best wok since 2001 it has been the best chinese fast food since I have been eating Chinese food.

“Loved it. I would return. They were very professional and caring.”

“The buns were too soft and it seems they grill them and push them flat when you have a large size burger the bread tends to fall apart also the fries could have been cooked harder The floors are slippery as well”

“I usually go there with my son and husband. All three of us have very different taste. this is the only restaurant we no one has to compromise. We all get exactly what we like. Our son likes Sushi, my husband likes Chinese, I like American. We try to go early because it's cheaper and we get a senior discount as well. we help ourselves to the food so there is no wait time. A refill of your drink is done very quickly. The atmosphere is also very nice. No loud music and the waiters a friendly and polite.”

“I This is one of the best Chinese restaurants I’ve been to! The food was absolutely delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. The staff were very friendly, welcoming, and provided excellent service throughout our meal. We had a wonderful dining experience, and everything exceeded our expectations. I will definitely come back again and highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for authentic and tasty Chinese food!”

“This is quickly becoming my go-to place when I want to eat healthy but I don’t have time to go home and eat something fresh that fits my health style! Their protein smoothies are exactly what I am looking for! Can you bring the mango one back?? 😍🥭🥤”

“My husband and I have had the worst experience's while ordering from this location. We both feel very targeted and it's very obvious. There are flies always on the inside of the store on the different surfaces. The rating is a 97.0. The manager and another employee have been the main two making us feel like we are not welcomed in the store. They go so far as to talk about us very obviously when we're in the store. The customer service from those two is the worst I've had. I've been to other stores around the city and I've not had those problems. It's a shame that paying for items that are not inexpensive comes with uncleanliness, targeting, lack of customer service, and rudeness from employees including the manager. I can gladly spend my money somewhere I'm treated right since I go basically everyday.

Since the negative things that happened in the past in the past review, I have nothing but positivity about every aspect of this location. I'm there very often during the week, and I can honestly say that they go above and beyond to assist customer's needs, provide a clean welcoming atmosphere, and they make sure orders are correct. All while going above and beyond the call of duty. I look forward to going now, and I never leave without smiles and satisfaction. Special kudos to Beth, Lacey, and Zack and all the staff.”

“Ordered through UberEats. Food was amazing, fresh, and hot. Steak was tender and cooked with perfection. Salad was crisp and the broccoli was steamed and seasoned top tier!!”

“We visited here for Trap and Sip (SN: thought canvas would have been bigger tho). we had a great time . It was very entertaining Dj was awesome..kept us head nodding with hits to dance to”

“Daveon has great customer service , it was my first time in a long time since I’ve been to five guys but his service definitely will have me coming back tomorrow. Also he was hands on and the food was made fast and fresh 10/10”

“Great place for a light, fresh breakfast.”

“The ice cream sundae I had was delicious!”

“Pretty good Chinese take out compared to the others around me on the other end of mint hill / lawyers road. Would definitely recommend this to those in the area.”

“Well, the subs are just incredible, the owner of the business is the kindest person. He remembers you and actually cares about his customers. I highly recommend supporting this business. The food is amazing.”

“my family has been coming here since this place opened many years ago. Their food always hits! My favorite thing to order has always been the general tso's”

“Today was nothing short than great. Upon walking in Jade and Audrey were so sweet and in great spirit despite the AC not working. I was very pleased with the laughter and conversation while working, I had my family with me and they had smiles on everyone's face. It was just the kindness that was displayed not only to my family but the other guests that came in as well. A raise sounds like a great gesture to keep good people.”

“Just be prepared to wait for your food. It was over 10 minutes on our food. Not a soul other than us in the restaurant. Drive thru patrons were getting their food faster”

“Best service & margaritas in town 😊😃😃😃😃”

“This is the one nearest my work and I appreciate how fast you can get through and your order is always accurate. No matter how busy it is they are always patient and fast about getting your order ready and getting it right”

“Today 5/30/26 we encountered the rudest group of individuals dining during lunch. They were being 100% disrespectful to the employee running the front area. I wish I had gotten her name but she handled the situation with complete grace. To those individuals, you should be ashamed for bringing your no home training to a public place.”

“We were immediately greeted by a friendly gentleman, ordered a couple of bagels and ate inside. Bagels were delicious and the coffee was very good. These are hard jobs in the service industry and we really appreciate it how friendly and helpful both the gentleman at the cash register and the young man making the bagels were.”
