"Ordinary in disguise. My wife and I have been to 2 of the different dressler locations and have not been impressed with either. Sure, the branding is great. The atmosphere isn’t bad. But the food is just far too ordinary. We met in-laws for birthday dinner at the birkdale location. Super nice FOH, waitress was fantastic and attentive. Started with the charcuterie board for the table and Parmesan risotto for our 2.5 year old and ordered wines- which the wine list wasn’t bad either. Risotto was made for a child, even though we confirmed it was made like it typically was. Woefully under-seasoned, slightly crunchy and dry. Not a good risotto at all but hey, my toddler ate it. Charcuterie board was home chef level- basic at best. Maybe 5 saltines on the side of some brown mustard and 3 salamis with cheese chunks. Would not recommend. I ordered the NY strip and wife ordered the Mahi dishes. Had to send back the NY strip as it was charred and acrid even if the center was pink, signs of a grill that is far too hot and a kitchen that rushes. It was unpalatable and I ordered it medium-rare. Opted for the crab cakes instead which were actually fantastic! Potatoes on the side for both were chewy and lacked depth of flavor, average at best. Didn’t have dessert as we had spent enough without a real return on value. Won’t be returning unless it’s for beers and crab cakes at the bar. Food: 2.5/5 Drink: 4/5 Service: 4/5 Atmosphere: 3.5/5"

"A Reliable Spot for Delicious Food and Great Vibes I stopped by eeZ Fusion Sushi for lunch before catching a movie, and once again, it didn’t disappoint. This was my second time dining here; both experiences have been consistently positive. The extensive menu has plenty of options to suit any craving, so I’m confident there’s something for everyone. Both times I visited, they had drink specials, which was a nice bonus. This time, I went for the bento box, and the portions were generous. The Szechuan chicken was delicious—a definite must-try if you’re in the area. Located in the heart of Birkdale Village, eeZ is perfect for grabbing a bite while shopping or walking around. It’s a popular spot, so during peak hours, be prepared for a potential wait of up to 45 minutes. They also do a great job accommodating large parties, which makes it a solid choice for group outings. If you’re looking for flavorful food and a lively atmosphere, eeZ Fusion Sushi is worth the visit!"

"I had my wedding dinner at Choplins which I made months in advance. It took over an hour to get seated. The manager did nothing but give excuses. She was very defensive which we thought was unprofessional. Everyone ordered the same steak the ribeye and mine came out as a New York strip. Again the manager just gave excuses and said they were all the same. I’m from Texas and I know the difference. I was very disappointed in how we were treated. And the worse part is that it was my wedding day."

"However, when a waitress approached us shortly after we had sat down with our second plates and asked us to pay, I was caught off guard. I had a mouthful of samosa and gestured to her that I couldn’t speak at the moment, hoping she would take the hint and come back later, but she didn’t. Once I was able to swallow, I reminded her that we thought there was no rush. Surprisingly, she responded with, "You don’t want to pay?" Feeling a bit irritated by her timing, I said it was fine, and I would pay now. When I did pay, she didn’t even acknowledge it with a thank you. Afterward, the table next to us commented on how they saw the whole incident and mentioned that this is how payment is typically collected there. A gentleman from that table, who was born and raised in India, explained that this aggressive approach to collecting payment is a cultural norm. In India, he said, people often negotiate the bill only after finishing their meal, which makes servers a bit defensive about payments. I understand that different cultures shape our behaviors, but that situation left me feeling somewhat embarrassed, which was unfortunate because the food was amazing. I had been craving Indian cuisine since moving here from New York about two years ago. I’d love to come back with my parents, but I might suggest paying upfront to avoid the awkwardness. I gave the restaurant another chance, but unfortunately, I was quite disappointed for a few reasons. We arrived at 1 PM on a Saturday, and since lunch is served until 3 PM, I expected a good selection. However, there was very little food left—no samosas, no chicken in the Tikka Masala, and most other dishes were similarly depleted. I asked the owner if they planned to prepare more, and he assured me they were cooking additional items that would be out soon. Twenty-five minutes later, they finally began bringing out some food, but it felt like too little too late. Several other guests even left after seeing the buffet. The owner explained that they hadn't been busy earlier, so they hadn’t prepared much food. While I understand not wanting to overprepare, if you’re open for business, you should be able to serve customers. Otherwise, it might be better to close for the day. I left feeling very disappointed and don’t think we’ll be returning."

"I had lunch at Kung Foo Noodle on a weekday, and the place was quite busy. The hostess let us know there would be about a 30-minute wait, but after hearing such rave reviews, we decided to stick it out. A lively restaurant usually means the food is worth the wait! I opted for the Lan Zhou noodles while my partner chose the Tonkotsu ramen. The Lan Zhou noodles were phenomenal! They struck the perfect balance of spiciness and saltiness, and the broth was packed with flavor. Having tried many noodle soups before, I can confidently say this one ranks among the best. I also tasted the Tonkotsu broth, which was decent but didn’t stand out in comparison to other ramen places. I would recommend trying the ramen elsewhere and focusing on the other noodle dishes at Kung Foo. Overall, it's a great Asian restaurant nestled in a busy shopping center. If you're short on time, I advise arriving early or placing your order in advance. For me, the Lan Zhou noodles are definitely worth the trip from downtown Charlotte!"
