About

Charlotte's best Thai cuisine comes at this higher end Uptown spot where the food is impressive, the vibe is hip and the modern setting sports a glassed-in exhibition kitchen that keeps things interesting; it also gets a nod for workday lunches, since they know how to feed you and get you back to work on time.
