I have been a Charlotte resident my entire life. I have been to many many asian takeout joints in this town. The worst, is Cottage Express on N Tryon. The best, is Pepperos for Korean & Chi Thai for Chinese and Thai.
Mr. Chet has been treating my family with the utmost respect and feeding my family with the utmost ingredients for almost two long decades. What is amazing is that these prices are very comparable to some chinese takeout places in town, yet to put them side by side wouldn't even be fair. It is ludicrous how high quality this food is. They are quick and efficient too, to bring you delicious hot meals.
I imagine I have eaten food here at least 100-200 times and I can count on two hands how many mistakes with an order have been made, and it was always a different dish ordered, never anything missing. And any time I received a wrong thing I had absolutely no problem getting it fixed.(mind you this happened maybe 6-8 times over the course of 150+ visits across many years)
I cannot recommend this place enough, I live on the entirely other side of town now almost 30 miles away and still take the bus down here occasionally just to eat. It is takeout only, however the Starbucks right next to it has no problem with you sitting and eating there. Be sure to pick up a can of Arizona green tea from the Harris Teeter deli to complement your meal. I recommend the scallion chicken if you love sweet & tangy. Thank you so much Mr. Chet and to your family for running such a fine establishment all...

Also all of it was kind of mushy. We ordered 2 entrees and they both came with rice, but they only gave us 1 rice so I had to cook more white rice when I got home so we’d have enough. Just as expensive but not anywhere near the quality of nearby Thai restaurants, I wanted to give this a try because of good reviews…..but I guess a lot of people have bad taste or haven’t had authentic...
