Absolutely LOVE the Crab Mozzarella Sticks! They're filled with melty mozzarella and crab rangoon cream cheese. Dip them in their Miso Marinara sauce and you're in heaven. Don't sleep on the Bao of the Day... boneless rib, green onions, hoisin with Vietnamese slaw. Temaki (handrolls) are $5 on Tuesday! The Miami Roll was delicous and filled with spicy yellowtail, crunch, soy paper, and topped with avocado and mango habanero puree.
Food was plentiful and delicious Service was great and our waitress kept a smile Ambiance was beautiful. It gave an intimate/cozy/loving vibe. If you've ever thought about coming here, this is your sign to go!!!! Drinks are strong but good and the food is authentic.
Warmack, a great cozy establishment in midtown Charlotte, NC serving great drinks and great food and to top everything off "live music". The atmosphere was soulful and pleasant... chilled even. The service was great, quick and food arrived hot and fresh, the drink were delicious. We had the Korean Short Ribs, Shrimp Fried Rice, Salmon Bowl, Veggie Dumplings, veggie Sushi... everything was as advertised and delicious. Did I mention the vibe was really enjoyable! I would definitely recommend visiting should you find yourself in Midtown Charlotte, NC.
This place truly exceeded my expectations! It is an intimate Asian fusion restaurant located in Plaza Midwood. The restaurant itself has limited parking but there is a lot of parking nearby. Once we entered, we were greeted and seated. We arrived at 5:30pm and the restaurant opened at 5pm so there were only a couple of patrons inside. We really wanted to see what this restaurant was about so we ordered several different small plates, apps and sushi. Below is the breakdown... Crab ragoon mozzarella sticks These were amazing! The sauce was chilli based and it was not on the menu so you'll have to ask for it if you don't see it. This was my favorite dish! The warehouse drink and Wet works drink They we're both strong and flavorful! Terminator sushi The sushi was super fresh and the roll was flavorful! I added soy sauce but it didn't really need anything due to the amount of flavor! Char siu Porkbelly Bao buns Oh gosh! These were amazing! I could have eaten 6 of these! Don't judge me. The pickled slaw is what did it for me! Double fried wings We got the cilantro honey and the teriyaki! Wings! Both were equally amazing! But if I had to pick, I would say cilantro honey is the winner! Seaweed salad! This was really good! It was seaweed on top of a salad with cucumbers and tomatoes! I loved the salad. The dressing was a bit tangy but it was different and I enjoyed it! The head chef was super cool and came out to speak with us and the other patrons that arrived during our stay. He told us that they are updating their menu and will be adding more sushi and other items soon! This spot is intimate and they have a huge and super cute patio!
Loved the decor and ambiance of this place to begin--sexy, modern, dim. Our hostess/waitress/bartender (LOL) was sweet and attentive. The food was outstanding. We shared some apps first. The standouts were the pork gyoza, which was both tender with a perfect pan sear on one side, and the shrimp shumai which came swimming in a sauce so flavorful that we dipped everything else in it! The spring rolls were decent, if a tad doughy for my taste. Do yourself a favor and order the double fried wings in Kudoku sauce. We seriously had to stop ourselves from getting another order because we knew the entree was coming. We shared the Korean short rib entree. I thought the pieces of meat would have been be a little thicker, but it was very tasty. The Brussels sprouts that came with it were phenomenal! I'd eat those as a main course. *giggles* I'll be back! Wonderful addition to the Plaza Midwood food scene.
