General Tso's Chicken (4/5): Pretty solid, but nothing special. I wish the chicken was a little crispier. The flavor was nice and I liked the spicy szechuan peppers. The fried rice was also pretty standard.  Crab Rangoon (3/5): This had more crab flavor than most crab rangoons I've had, but the shell wasn't very good. The filling also didn't fill out the shell super well.  RATING SYSTEM 5 - Great (Need to get this again) 4 - Good (Would get this again) 3 - Ok (Might give this another shot) 2 - Not Good (Won't get this again) 1 - Bad (Telling people to avoid this)

10/19 recommend. I haven't been able to dine in just yet but will be back soon to do so. I had a take out order, and man the food was delish!!! I ordered fried rice and my husband had general tso, and it rocked my taste buds. I have been looking for good fried rice since I moved here from California and this is it! I wish I lived closer but I'm about 45 minutes away and haven't been able to stop thinking about it. This location looks very nice inside for dining so I will be back to try it out.

Awesome food and drinks! I love this place and have been here multiple times. The duck, char Sui (red pork), red curry, Japanese curry, beef chow fun and beef bulgogi are some of my fave dishes. For appetisers I loved the eggplant and golden buns;, the salt n pepper chicken bites were just ok. I took a star off because one of the non-Asian waitresses has messed up my drink orders on multiple occasions and when I tell her that's not what I ordered she insists it is and that the pics look differenthow can a drink with milk and one without milk be the same?? She's done the same thing with other drinks so now I just order water if she's our waitress....I'll be more vigilant and just ask the hostess not to seat me in her area. I also don't like how the ladies walking around with dim sum carts on weekends keep pushing you to take something like it's free! We keep saying no and they ask if we're sure then come back a few minutes later. Some of the food is also sitting on plates uncovered so that's a hard pass for me!

Tried Open Rice on Metropolitan for the second time yesterday. My first time was about a month ago. You do not need reservations here. Upon entry, you'll notice an open and airy restaurant that is fairly modern. The noise level is average. We had the slushy lychee boba tea the first time. It was really good. This time, I tried the regular boba tea which was suggested by our waitress. I actually did like the regular boba tea over the slushy one. 5/5 Next, we ordered our food. I opted for the gluten-free Singapore Shrimp and Chicken Rice Noodles. My hubby opted for the Sizzling Grilled Chicken. The food came out within 15-20 minutes. My food was absolutely delicious. They give a good size portion too. 5/5. My hubby rated his drink and food a 5/5 too. We highly recommend this restaurant to others looking for a good Asian spot in the city.

I have been wanting to try this place for a while now. My significant other and I went to dine in around lunch time and got seated upon entering. The atmosphere of the place is busy and loud. The layout of the place is pretty tight and with the big metal carts and regular carts of food squeezing through. From their website I saw that they can fit 200 capacity. One thing that I was excited to try here was the lotus sticky rice, which did not disappoint. It was sticky, savory, and sweet from the lotus wrap and pork/mushrooms filling. Of course I have to try their duck! The duck skin was crisp to the lips and extremely juicy. Everything else on their dim sum menu was amazing, especially the shrimp dumplings. You can taste the whole individual shrimp. Most definitely will be coming back to try their other food on the menu.

I would say that this place has the most authentic dim sum experience in Charlotte at the moment. Although it's pricey, it has a nice atmosphere. Additionally, the servers were friendly and would check up on us frequently. It was popular and packed during lunch hour on Sunday, but this place seats a lot of people and has two floors. We ordered several items from the carts: BBQ pork rolls, spared ribs in black bean sauce, pork dumplings with shrimp (siu mai), fried taro dumplings, and several other items that are not pictured. We also ordered the beef chow fun and the Hong Kong roasted duck. Some dishes (e.g. the spared rib in black bean sauce) lacked flavor; the duck both lacked flavor and was hard to chew. Out of everything we got, I would highly recommend the beef chow fun and the braised chicken feet. You can probably skip on the roasted duck.

The food here is amazing, there's so much on the menu you'll have to come back to try everything! Definitely get the Lychee boba tea and the sauce in the crispy tofu is TO DIE FOR I kid you not! Great service too, they're so friendly, awesome at giving suggestions, and fast Huge open floor plan so not very private if you want to come here for a romantic date night but great for a casual dinner spot. Free parking in the Trader Joe's parking deck right across the street

My sister recommended this place a while back and I was happy to learn they opened this location. It's been on my list for a few months, but I hadn't gone since the Blakeney location is quite a drive for me. A friend and I went here on an early Saturday evening and we were promptly seated. The restaurant is very spacious and open. It's a really nice atmosphere. Our waiter came within minutes and took our drink order. I ended up getting the Kingdom Chicken and my friend got the Lump Crabmeat & Shrimp Fried Rice. Both dishes were yummy. There was an ample amount of crabmeat in the fried rice as well as shrimp and the dish was very flavorful. The Kingdom Chicken was also delicious. The chicken was moist and I liked the sauce, although it was very sweet - just an fyi. The waiter recommended a really great unfiltered sake which I had never tried before and we enjoyed it. I'm so glad I finally got a chance to visit Open Rice. A+ service, food and atmosphere. I can't wait to go back to try other dishes.

Really nice restaurant in the Metropolitan area of Charlotte. I love this area because they have lots of free parking in the decks. The restaurant is huge with lots of seating. I was able to get seated right away on a Saturday night. Our server was very nice and helpful as well. I tried the golden buns and they were so good! They were like fluffy, warm donuts and they came with a side of sweetened condensed milk to dip them in. I got the beef bulgogi as my entree and added the fried rice. The beef was so flavorful and tender. The rice was also really flavorful. I loved the veggies as well. I also tried some of the sesame chicken. It was really good as well! Overall, everything was amazing and I will definitely come back to try other dishes!

Wish I live closer to eat here more often. This place was delish. I'm not a fan of fusion but Open Rice knock it out of the park on this one. The service was great! Shout out to Ella. We got the Beef Chow Fun, kimchi Fried Rice with Cheese, Beef Brisket Clay Pot and the kingdom Chicken. By far the fried rice and chow fun were the best. The restaurant was beautifully designed. Just go!
