🍜 Charlotte’s Not a Food Desert—It’s a Hidden Gem! 🌟

Just a tiny sample of my eats—so many more I couldn’t fit! (Also, for someone who lives for vinegar-sautéed shredded potatoes 🥔, the world’s never a food desert…) 🇻🇳 Pho Real Vietnamese pho with size options! Grab boba tea downstairs, and there are other eats nearby—IKEA & Sam’s Club are close by for post-pho shopping 🛒. 🍔 Hickory Tavern Classic American burgers + beer—perfect for game days! Next door is a huge vintage store—spend hours browsing after eating 🏈. 🛒 Asian Market Who can resist $5.99 giant boxes of spicy chicken feet?! They just added boneless ones, plus pig ears & saliva chicken—cheap and massive portions 🐔. 🍜 Lang Van (My FAVE!) Charlotte’s best pho—no debate! Durian smoothie is a must, and everything else on the menu slaps too 🥤. 🦐 Asian Buffet All-you-can-eat seafood (including crawfish!) for ~$15—steal! 🦞 🔥 Sun’s Kitchen Mostly takeout, but there are tables! BBQ, spicy dumplings—even locals love it, and the flavor’s authentic 🌶️. 🍜 Ten Seconds The only (guo qiao mi xian) in town—need I say more? 🍜 🥡 XiLe (Joy Takeout Group) The owner’s braised beef was chef’s kiss—sad it’s gone, but everything else is amazing! Great for family meals 👨👩👧. 🇮🇳 Persis Biryani Indian Grill Best curry & naan I’ve had! Next door’s a killer chicken spot—trust me, it’s delicious 🍛. 🇪🇹 Enat Ethiopian Restaurant Right by the Asian market—never had Ethiopian food before, but it’s tasty! 🇪🇹 🔥 Let’s Meat BBQ AYCE Korean BBQ—good, but not as good as 牛角 (Niu Jiao) 🥩. 🇰🇷 Pepero (Best Korean Food!) Obsessed with this spot! Dark vibe, but cheap & so good. It’s in a Korean market—stock up on snacks after 🛍️. 🍖 MidWood Smokehouse American BBQ—their jalapeño pork roll is fire! Portions are huge—don’t go alone (I ate leftovers for 3 days) 🥓. 🍰 Whole Foods & Publix CakesToo good not to mention—sweet treats for days 🍰.🔥 Niu Jiao AYCE Korean BBQ—so good, it’s worth the wait! 🥩 #CharlotteEats #CharlotteNC #FoodieHeaven #NotAFoodDesert #NorthCarolina #EatLocal #FoodieAdventures #SistersTrip
