Hao Chee Fresh Cafe

Yikes. That was white meat chicken? It was gummy rubbery something. Flavor meh. Husband wouldn’t even eat it. Not sure how people like this.

Stumbled upon this gem one evening with my boyfriend and we were pleasantly surprised. We were greeted with smiles and friendly service, and a clean environment. We ordered the edamame and pot stickers for an appetizer which were both delicious! My boyfriend had the Curry Chicken which he thoroughly enjoyed. I had the yummy Teriyaki Chicken! We each enjoyed an egg roll on the side that were delicious! The only down fall was the booths are a bit tight, I recommend sitting at a table. Overall, very pleased!

So glad I noticed this place on the way to Publix. The food is wholesome and savory. My spicy shrimp were the best consistency ever, you know, that crunch snap of first bite but then just melts in your mouth. As a first timer, I wasn’t sure what to order. So I asked another customer, who reported he had just discovered this place and eaten there 3x in past 2 days. I copied his order of spicy shrimp and stir fry chicken. A lot of leftovers to look forward to. I can’t wait tip its gone so I can go back! I also got the seaweed salad which I am now to full to try. It looks and smells amazing. yummerz.

My family has been here twice and both times were great. Good service and fresh foods! I highly recommend this place.

Had lunch here today with my husband and kids. 1^st time eating here. I had the amazing Chicken Curry (yellow curry) w/​veggies & brown rice (and a spring roll too). Flavors were perfect — not too hot & not too sweet — veggies were very fresh & had a good assortment! Chicken was super tender and flavorful! My husband had the Happy Family lunch — very fresh as well & shrimp were fresh (and deveined as well). Kids had teriyaki chicken and rice. Kids said it was really good & «better than Panda Express» (that’s a compliment coming from my picky kids!)
We will definitely be coming back to try the noodles & soups!
Very clean restaurant & restrooms too.
Staff super friendly & knowledgeable about the menu. Great service & great food!

This place has amazing food and the service is great. We found this place as the restaurant near here that was closed and we are glad we found this place. It’s our new favorite restaurant in Matthews and we will come here often. We order the stir fry bar and it’s amazing. We also order the Hao Chee roll which is fabulous. We will continue to come here and try something different.

My family & I ate there and were sadly dissatisfied. The wait for our food was long & my dish was ruined & told they would redo it & would be out in a few minutes! The rest of the family was finished eating & I didn’t have my food. We flagged down a waitress & they just made it to go. It was not worth the wait & was thrown away.

I don’t know what it is about this place. I really like the food but the counter help is incompetent. Been there twice now. 1^st time walked in and placed my order, then sat down in plain sight of the girl that took the order. After maybe 20 minutes the girl said «Oh, I didn’t realized you were waiting». Apparently my food had been sitting on the counter ready for about 10 minutes, and there was hardly anyone in the place. 2^nd time placed order online, arrived and paid. Order was supposedly ready, girl checked it, looked in the bag and handed it to me. When I got home discovered they left out the rice that comes with it. Had to drive all the way back there to get it. What was she looking in the bag for exactly, seeing if her keys were in there ??
How do you leave out the rice at an Asian place?
I know good help is hard to find but come on!
Oh, and the genius manager made up for it by giving me… wait for it… an extra tub of white rice ???
Don’t need 2 of those to go with my 1 entrée, now sitting home getting cold.
She also gave me couple of spring rolls and egg rolls, which the dogs got. They said thanks.

This has to be the best Thai/​Asian/​Japanese place in Charlotte. My son and I decided to take a ride across town. What a surprise! I had the Thai Curry noodles with chicken which was absolutely fantastic. Large portion, cooked perfectly. Thai curry sauce had the perfect flavor and the chicken was very tender. The noodles were fresh and looked like they were freshly made.
My son had the vegetarian noodle stir fry. They used a 5 spice tofu that he went crazy over. Pricing is very reasonable and they have beer and wine available.
We will be back again. Don’t think twice about Hao Chee. And by the way, The guy that said they used frozen veg must have been smoking crack. This is the real deal!!! You could thank me later.

You can tell when a business wants to be successful. Warm, friendly service is a start, and that’s the first thing you experience when you walk through the doors of Hao Chee. The décor is simple and practical with eye appeal. Then there’s the food. I’ve been here three times, and each item has been nothing short of delicious. The wraps should be at the top of your list of things to try, and the sesame chicken might possibly be the best in town. Hopefully Hao Chee remains a staple in Matthews.

I really loved the food here, it was fresh and very flavorful. The portions were pretty descent and the price was reasonable. The chicken teriyaki had a good proportion of veggies and chicken the fried rice was a small portion but it was tasty, the kids enjoyed the spicy flavor of the general tso and the sauce for the rice was just perfect.
I was getting tiered of the heaviness and the… «I’m not sure this is chicken or pork in my food or I sure hope it’s one of them» from some local Chinese restaurants (I’m not going to name names) it is definitely good to know we can get fresh Asian food nearby ;)

We stopped by Hao Chee for a late lunch/​early dinner one Sunday while stopping by the shopping plaza to get groceries at Publix. Sadly, though, we had just missed the lunch cut-​off and had to pay dinner prices (which weren’t all that much more, but cheaper is always better!).
Everyone was very friendly and the menu offered a lot of variety at very reasonable prices. They offer not only traditional Asian dishes, but Bento boxes, wrap sandwiches, and fried sushi rolls, etc. You order at the counter and then sit down, so it was a challenge for me to pick something out so quickly when so many things sounded good.
The dining room was bigger than I expected, but the majority of the seating is behind a wall, so you’re not close to the windows/​sunshine. :(Everything was very clean, though.
I ended up getting a Bento box which, if you’ve never had one, is pretty much like a sampler platter. I tried the spring roll, Hao Chee Fried Roll, and Bang Bang Shrimp with brown rice. All tasted fresh and delicious. The sushi roll was so flavorful, and the shrimp in the Bang Bang Shrimp were so much bigger than I was expecting.
I really enjoyed my first experience at Hao Chee, and it will definitely be our go-​to place when we need a quick, delicious bite before shopping for groceries at Publix.

I have been three times, and all three times the food has been excellent, the service has been solid and friendly, and the portions are humongous. Do yourself a favor and try this place.

I was glad to hear of a new restaurant in the area… but…after stopping in for lunch today… I’m sure it wont be there long.
I ordered the Sesame Chicken special — unfortunately the rice was «very» dry (like oatmeal) and the chicken had that «hint of freezer» taste to it. I could also tell from the broccoli (small — dark) definitely from frozen. So much for the «Fresh» in the name.
My wife ordered the Sushi Bowl. Looked to be a good portion — presented nicely, until you get just past the top and see most of the bowl is filled with rice with what looked like a block of rice in the bottom area.
Over all — the taste was lacking, the rice was dry, not worth your time or money. If Hao Chee «Fresh» Café keeps on this path it wont take long.
Took a couple pics…

I got two stir fry dishes, thai curry and masala. The sauces were excellent and tasty. However, the tofu was rubbery and bland. I would recommend that a fried or stir fried tofu be offered. Additionally, for take out orders the rice should be packaged separately from the stir fry else all the gravy gets soaked up by the rice.

Just decided to try it on the fly. My husband got the chicken wrap & salad (it was made with fried, not grilled, chicken which he was not expecting). I got the roll and salad. I forgot to specify I wanted shrimp, so the default was chicken. The rolls were a good portion, very fresh. The salad was fresh and green. They drizzled the roll with yummy sauce and EEL sauce. The eel sauce ruined it for me. It gave it a very fishy taste. My husband traded his chicken wrap with me and it was delicious. Nothing out of the ordinary chicken wrap though.
I am definitely going to try it again — this time without the eel sauce. Very resonably priced.

I wasn’t sure what to expect when seeing burritos on an asian menu. I tried the chicken stir fry and it was a descent portion but the rice was very bland and the dish lacked some flavor. Duck sauce helped and they leave packets out for you to take how ever many you want! They make it clear they don’t use msg which is great and although it lacked some flavor, I could tell it was a healthier kind of asian dish. We will definitely try it again and see what that asian burrito is all about! Oh, and the sea weed salad!

We went with a large group and all were pleased with their selections. Decent prices, generous portions, fresh ingredients and cooked to order in a very friendly and helpful atmosphere.

Excellent service, great food, and value for money!

Excellent new Chinese spot near the Siskey YMCA.
