The Best Chinese Restaurants in the Charlotte Area
"This new, modern, and elegant dim sum restaurant (no rolling carts) in Matthews is barely two months old, yet is making its name as one of few fine Chinese dining establishments in the city. It reminds one of the white tableclothed dim sum dining rooms in Hong Kong, Vancouver, and London, and the mostly well-dressed clientele would agree. Beat the weekend queues (and slower service) by arriving before 11:30 a.m. But if you have to wait, you can watch the staff folding and rolling the xiao long bao (soup dumplings) in an ante-waiting room. Also on the menu are huge portions of hot and sour or West Lake beef soup, chewy and tender spicy wontons, and an array of regional and mainstream favorites. If you want to make a splash, pre-order a half or whole Beijing roast duck ($39.95/$74.95), which is served tableside." - Shindy Chen
