Colleague and I were immediately seated for lunch as we decided to try this new, classy looking Mexican restaurant in Epicenter. Food was not bad - I have had better Mexican food elsewhere (Texas & other restaurants in Charlotte), but Uptown Charlotte has been missing a Mexican restaurant and this probably attempts to fill that void. What ruined the experience was our waiter who probably had a hyperactivity syndrome. We quickly got tired of the "how's everything?" and "can I get you something else?" which he fired away at us every couple minutes when we were trying to hold a conversation and eat in peace. And umm, odds of me agreeing that I'm done are high when you place your hand on my plate, take it half way across the table and ask me if I'm done! We were only there about 40 minutes and we didn't see a long queue at the door either, so were quite confused at the attempt to quickly get through the diners. Overall - decent food +ADHD waiter = 2 stars. I'll have to try their tequila next time.

Fast and friendly. Their Happy Hour is quite good. Try the Bei Special Roll, it's ridiculous.

Whomever charges $7 for a bottle of water should be beat. Whomever pays for it should too... which is me! I can't believe my bill was $13 for a cup of coffee and a water. Even for Vegas that's insane.

Lunch, sure it's a pretty good steal. Dinner? No way. Still doesn't make me feel like buffets are worth it. This one is located in South Charlotte, right off of 485. It's a little, lets say, worn. It's been here for quite a while and well, if you go into the bathrooms you are sure to see some interesting graffiti. While on the outside, they try to make it look grand and majestic, it just isn't what they want it to be. Actually, to be honest I'm amazed that they're still standing and in business. I guess buffets never go out of style, but if you've read my reviews on buffets you know I'm not as fond. So, what's Tin Tin's assortment of food? You know the usual American Chinese food mixed in with some Japanese "sushi" and some soups/noodles. This is only for lunch. I hear that during dinner there is a wider assortment and a little more of the pricier items, hence the price difference. The food was well, food. Nothing exciting. Nothing amazing. And somewhere where I would never go if not for company wanting to go and eat. Maybe it's great for big parties, but when it comes to Chinese food, I just get picky. I probably won't come back here because (1) it's a buffet, (2) I've had better buffets, and (3) rather spend my money elsewhere.
