China Cafe - Charlotte: A Delightful Fusion of Flavorful Dishes and Refreshing Bubble Teas

Walked into the shop for a drink, walked out with the Powerpuff Girls of bubble tea. Mango (Bubbles) is sweet and sunny, Taro (Blossom) is the wise, cool leader, and Strawberry (Buttercup) looks cute but will slap you with sugar. 10/10—would let these boba babes save my tastebuds again.

Truly phenomenal! The food was great and the service was speedy and accommodating. I came here for dinner and left satisfied and will definitely be back. I was especially impressed with the broccoli in garlic sauce and char siu pork fried rice. I’ll be back to try the Singapore noodle , boba teas, and homemade lemonade!

I’ve never tasted something quite like this, I tried it off the menu anyways, I have to say it’s the best and healthiest chicken gizzard I’ve had!

Pretty solid lunch for $9.00. The chicken was super tender and the veggies were fresh with a nice crunch—especially the celery. The sauce is light and not too salty, which I liked. Rice was basic but did the job. Nothing fancy, but it’s a clean and satisfying meal that feels worth the price.

Spicy honey wings? Oh yeah, they really said, “Let’s be sweet… but make it hurt.” My lips were tingling like they just got gossip from the wings themselves. Sweet at first, then BAM! A spicy uppercut to the taste buds. 10/10 would cry and lick my fingers again.

Shrimp was juicy, veggies still had a nice crunch, and the sauce was fire—not too sweet, not too spicy, just right.

I recently tried beef bowl from China Cafe, and it was absolutely delicious! The bowl was packed with tender, flavorful beef that was well-marinated and cooked to perfection. The assortment of fresh vegetables—crisp carrots, sautéed spinach, zucchini, and seasoned mushrooms—added a nice balance of texture and color. The rice underneath soaked up all the rich flavors, and the savory sauce tied everything together beautifully. The portion size was generous, making it a satisfying and wholesome meal. I highly recommend this dish for anyone looking for a flavorful and hearty option. Definitely a go-to favorite!

I recently tried this stir-fry dish featuring tender slices of beef, vibrant snap peas, red bell peppers, dried red chilies, and fermented black beans. The dish was coated in a glossy, savory sauce that had a rich, umami depth from the black beans and garlic. The beef was well-seasoned and cooked to perfection, maintaining its juiciness while absorbing the flavors of the sauce. The snap peas added a pleasant crunch that balanced the richness of the beef and sauce, while the bell peppers brought a slight sweetness to the mix. The dried chilies added a subtle heat, though not overpowering, giving the dish a satisfying kick without dominating the other flavors. Overall, it was a well-balanced, flavorful dish that delivered on both texture and taste. Perfect for someone who enjoys bold flavors with a touch of spice. I’d definitely order this again!
