SORA

So happy to have this as a part of Charlotte’s food scene! I highly recommend dining here- everything from the ambiance to food to service was exquisite. Our server was extremely knowledgeable of the menu and was so attentive. Answered all questions we had and timed the food perfectly. Every dish was unique and delicious. It really was the perfect mix of Asian cuisine with French flair. Everything was so amazing, we found it hard to pic a favorite of the 10 dishes served. Definitely try this spot out. We will be back!

Sora is nothing short of extraordinary. My wife and I didn’t leave so much as a crumb behind. Every one of the 11 courses was executed with precision, creativity, and flawless balance. From the opening Egg & Caviar, Snow Crab, and Eel Brioche Bite, to the indulgent A5 Dumpling with consommé and truffles, the pacing and progression of flavors felt masterfully orchestrated. Highlights like the Scallop & Pearls with ossetra caviar and champagne cream sauce, the Honey Glazed Duck with foie gras and curry, and the decadent A5 Miyazaki with pomme purée and mushroom demi showcased the kind of thought and refinement you would expect at the very top tier of dining. The desserts were just as elegant and memorable as the savory courses. The wine pairings were exceptional with each pour not only complementing the dishes but amplifying them, creating seamless harmony between kitchen and cellar. What makes Sora truly remarkable, though, is the people. Chef Dorji is an artist. His menu feels both innovative and timeless. Tallah, our waiter, delivered impeccable service with warmth and attentiveness. Sara at the front of house elevated the night even further. Our conversations with her through the evening about food, wine, and restaurants reminded us why hospitality is as important as cuisine. It’s astonishing to think Sora has only been open for four months. The experience already rivals Michelin-starred restaurants I’ve visited elsewhere, and it’s clear this will become one of Charlotte’s defining dining destinations. I will return to Charlotte for Sora alone.

Dining at Sora is always an unforgettable experience, and much of that is thanks to Chef Dorji. Every dish is crafted with precision, creativity, and care—you can truly taste the passion behind the food. The menu balances sophistication with approachability, and the flavors are consistently outstanding. Beyond the food, Chef Dorji brings a sense of warmth and artistry that elevates the entire dining experience. This is high-end dining at its finest.

This was my first time dining here, and it truly exceeded all expectations! The service was exceptional—Talla and Aamon were not only incredibly friendly but also knowledgeable about each course, making the experience feel both welcoming and refined. The food was phenomenal, with each course complementing the next beautifully. Chef Dorji is truly talented; he even took the time to check in with us personally, which made the evening feel extra special. Sara was also warm and attentive, ensuring everything ran smoothly from start to finish. Whether it’s for a birthday, anniversary, or a casual night out, I’ll definitely be coming back!

Perfect isn’t even close to describing the experience I’ve had at Sora. Everything down to the food, service, ambience, etc. was something I’ve never experienced before elsewhere. The cuisine is well curated to each paired beverage, the service was great and every server was attentive to each guest in the building, and they have a wide variety of nice sake and wine. If you ever get the chance to try Sora whether it may be for a date night, a birthday dinner, a business meeting dinner, this is the place to go. I promise, Sora will not disappoint!
