This is a very small restaurant (about six tables tops) behind McDonald's in a strip mall on the corner of Sahara and Rancho. Bento style combination lunch & dinner but there are specialties like maui noodles (vermicelli). I usually get the teriyaki chicken or the teriyaki salmon- comes with miso soup, a scoop of rice, salad, a couple pieces tempura, and a potsticker. Most dishes under $10.00 per person. It's pretty good for a hole in the wall with a huge menu and is in a convenient location. The food is prepared quickly. We haven't had anything bad here. Rarely busy whenever we go, but I think it holds up because there is a pretty loyal following. The canned Hawaiian drinks like Pass-O-Guava, available. My only complaint: Closed on sundays. We found that out the hard way- and we really wanted a bento special too. PS.) I went to the other location but just thought that it was ok. Yup, this one's better- guess this is why it's the last one standing.

My wife and I would have never thought to visit this place were it not for an accidentally purchased restaurant.com coupon. I had thought Sedona was a Mexican restaurant, but was surprised to discover it was one of what I generally refer to as "One of those 24 hour gaming establishments that sells food". After eating there my opinions of these places, at least my policy of tarring them all with the same brush, has changed forever. Note that this isn't a review of the nightlife, the bar, the drinks. I don't drink so this is purely a review of Sedona as a restaurant. We went for our meal in between happy hours so at around 10:30PM it wasn't very busy. We've often cruised around our part of town at this time of night lamenting the lack of dining options after 9PM, so we were really excited to discover Sedona offers a full menu until 5AM. The interior of the place is surprisingly large, modern and attractive. I really liked the wheeled, padded armchairs you get to sit in at your tables and the rather more mellow music than the stuff that seems to want to blast your eardrums out at most eateries these days. So, comfortable seats, attractive restaurant, not smoky at all. So far I was impressed. Now what about the food? The menu is reasonably extensive and I was excited by the presence of satay sticks among the appetizers. Satay (both on sticks and off) is very popular in Australia and an be hard to find in the US, so I was delighted to find it. When it arrived I was pleased to discover a mix of 6 or 8 sticks, half of which were chicken, half were beef. It's not exactly authentic satay and tends more toward the Thai style than Malay or Indonesian which I prefer - sort of an Americanized Thai version, but it was still extremely tasty. The sticks came with three dipping sauces. Thai Peanut (Satay), Soy (which was just soy sauce - I didn't bother with this), and a sweet, tangy sauce of some description which I enjoyed. The plate was garnished with some chopped cucumber which was so freshly prepared my wife could smell it from across the table. For my main dish I probably was a bit weak in ordering a Sedona burger. I wish I had been more adventurous now based on the quality of my appetizer, but I was trying to get as good a value as I could out of our $25 coupon by not going overboard with the expensive dishes. The burger was fine, it was what it was. A good quality burger, but generic. I really liked the crusty, floury bun it came on. The thing that actually has me glad I ordered a burger was that I might otherwise have been denied the chance to try the FRIES it came with. Hands down the best fries I have tried since coming to the USA and the closest in taste to Australian "chips". Usually 80% of my fries from a meal remain on the plate, but these were absolutely delicious and I couldn't stop eating them. I discovered they were particularly excellent dipped into the remains of the cheese fondue my wife ordered for appetizer (you'll read about that when she gets around to writing her own review). Overall we loved our experience here, are excited about a late night option close to our home and look forward to sampling more adventurous options from the menu. The service was decent, the atmosphere was pleasant and who knows - as it cools down maybe we will try the fantastic looking patio area outside.

I like parks. And I love this park in Charlotte. There are city parks and then their are city parks that almost make you forget that you are in a city over a million. Granted, it's not the Yosemite, or the Algonquin. It doesn't have Lake Norman or the coastline. But it's got two fantastic ponds you can run around, sit and tan, even fish. It has disc golf course, several trekking routes that is grest for running to get you back into shape, and a couple of basketball courts, a baseball diamond, volleyball net, a little playgound for kids, a nature preserve, a small museum, and I haven't camped out there but I'm pretty sure they have a site for that. And hey, if you get too hot having fun, there's an ice cream shop right beside the big ooen area where I usually play one man baseball. It's a great park overall. If you expect a 10 mile trekking course it's not for you but I'd say you can combine all three and get a pretty good workout and enjoy the little ponds at the same time. So if you live inside the city limita of Charlotte, kind of tired of Freedom park and similar pretty parks, go over to Reedy Creek park!
