Hot and sour soup was pretty much just broth, hardly any tofu or other ingredients.... Person taking phone order was rude.

Worst Chinese I've ever had. Lets be clear here, my girlfriend and I are both college students, Chinese food is our main food of choice. We both decided to go in and dine there yesterday and we regret it fully. We go in and order at the counter and get dine in. Shortly after as we are sitting there in the cheap decor, cheap tables, cheap uncomfortable seats the sever/possible owner brings our food out to us. I got the sesame chicken which looked weird and my girlfriend received the chicken and cashews dish which was made up of 90% mushrooms and the rest being very tiny pieces of chicken. Neither one of us likes mushrooms to any degree but from the image we were shown we would have never know that the dish was made up of that. To continue on as we were sitting there a woman called the place asking where her delivery was. This according to me overhearing the conversation was the 4th time that she has called wondering where her order was because it had been an hour since she placed the order. The women working in the restaurant (possible owner) then began getting angry that she had called again and canceled the order for her and continued on to yell at the customer. This all went down as I was trying to eat my food, I honestly wanted to tell her to shut up.Yes there is more and it gets worse..... The bad looking food, which was brought out on cheap paper plates was HORRIBLE... DISGUSTING... NASTY... etc. There are not enough words in the world to describe how badly it tasted. The only piece of this experience that I enjoyed was the orange Fanta I got (because it was a standard closed can, it would be hard to screw that up)I will not return to eat there, I will never order from there, and I advise everyone to refuse to go here for any reason what so ever. There are dozens of other chinese places in charlotte, order from them instead.

We've gone the takeout route with Cherry Blossom a few times, but this most recent time will probably be the last time. Small portions. Overcooked won tons. 1 shrimp in my house combo lo-mein. Rude service both on the phone and when I picked it up.Egg drop soup and the entrees were OK, but not great. When in the same part of town and you're craving Chinese takeout, try Chi Thai in the Arboretum Harris Teeter. Fast, friendly, and overall a better value in the same shopping complex.Disappointed.

Disappointed. I've been here a few times. I've eaten in and tried delivery. It's usually good or ok. I have never had a bad experience until today. I put in an order for delivery. I'm generally a very laid back and easygoing person, so I gave the driver a decent tip even after he arrived later the expected (and quoted) 45 mins. Hey, he was friendly. Anyhow, my lunch portion of chicken and cashew nuts was laughable. So much so, I decided to login to my Yelp account to write up a review...which is rare for me. At first glance, the meal didn't look too good so instead of digging in I decided to dissect it. There were 34 mushrooms in my lunch-sized meal, along with 5 pieces of chicken...and not the round chucks of chicken either. There were 5 slithers of chicken that were equilavent to or smaller than the cashew nuts. No joke. Maybe today was an off day for Cherry Blossom. Idk. But I'm being generous in saying that I received 5 pieces of chicken when they were more like chicken scraps. Unfortunately, I won't risk this happening again. Our relationship is over. Guess I'll find something else to eat after I eat a few bites of my mushrooms and rice.

I don't like to cook so I usually grab something togo or order in. Cherry Blossom is I probably order from the most. It's a take out restaurant so there aren't many tables for seating but the food is absolutely delicious. I've ordered around and Cherry Blossom is the cheapest too. Great food at a great price, you can't top that!?

After reading all the reviews here, my wife and I were super excited to try them out! What a huge dissappiontment! The staff were very personable, since our development was not in the computer yet, they offered to have the delivery guy call us back to get good directions that they would have in the computer for future deliveries...very nice of them I thought....It's too bad the food was AWFUL! Everything we ordered was awful! We ordered a pupu platter, fried dumplings, sa-cha beef and sesame chicken...everything in the pupu platter was WAY overcooked...shoe leather spare ribs...tiny chicken wings, the crab pockets, shrimp and spring rolls were simply acceptable...the sa-cha beef was mushy...I don't know what you have to do to beef to make it mushy, but it was bad....the sesame chicken was in a class of bad all it's own...I haven't spit food out in ten years...literally...and last night I spit food out...there was a flavor or taste that I could not get past my ...?

Better than the dine-in places. I don't know how because it's such a small place. The owners must have owned it for so long they just know how to make the sauces! The portions are big so its worth the money. I usually get the Orange Beef because I like spicy dishes, as well as the Sa Cha Chicken. Oh and their fried rice and lo mein dishes are some of the best I've ever had. I haven't found a to-go restaurant that's quite as good, and I've tried restaurants all over Charlotte and in South Carolina. If you want to spend $20 at PF Changs, that's where you may find some better sa cha.?

I took my daughter there for dinner the other night after receiving one of their coupons in the mail. I have to say, at first glance I didn't know what to think of this restaurantt. It's just a quaint little restaurant and the owner and his wife were very friendly. We ordered some wonton soup, Chinese Donuts, and shared a sesame chicken. The donuts were great, my daughter loved them. And I'd have to say, I was prety impressed with the quality. They gave us one bowl of rice, and offered to refill it for free after we had finished it. Excellent service. Even though it wasn'ta sit down restaurant, the owner's wife always kept a close eye on us and gave great service. I even ended up leaving a tip. All and all, I'd say that this place deserves a 5 star for quality, service, and price. Will definitely return for another great experience.?

I didn't even know this restaurant was in the arboretum. I went in the other day for the first time. It's a small take-out, 4 tables for dine-in, but In the future I will order delivery or take-out. I ordered a chicken fried rice and triple delight. The chicken fried rice was some of the best fried rice I've had since i moved down from NY. I haven't been able to find food like this in the south. The triple delight had a very delicious spicy brown sauce, and in a pretty generous portion. All in all, it's now by restaurant of choice.?
