I ordered the general chicken to go. The flavor is amazing but I will say the chicken has too much batter so it's not as crispy and some pieces are batter only and no chicken. Fix this issue and it would easily be 5 stars!

What a cozy treasure ! I stumbled upon this quaint restaurant as my favorite Italian pizzeria was next door. The ambiance was lovely for a lunch/dinner for two and the menu was filled with a slew of great Asian dishes from Hibachi, healthy grilled plates, Thai, and great dessert options. I truly enjoyed my sesame chicken, broccoli with brown rice. It was the right level of flavor and spice. The restaurant has been standing for 8 years and it was filled with local neighbors who had a great sense of community and appreciation for the owners. The vibe was authentic and genuine and reminded me of home. It was great to see how United Dilworth residents come together to show love for this establishment. Thank you for having me.

Wow! A Chinese restaurant that actually looks really nice on the inside AND has really good food? Let me tell you, Chinese restaurants are so hard to find and I mean actual sit down type of restaurants. There are take out only ones galore, but where to go aside from franchises like PF Changs? Persuasian! After a long search on yelp, we decided to go with Persausian after finding out they we were able to dine inside. My husband and I came here for dinner spontaneously on a Tuesday night with my in-laws and my SIL's parents. When we arrived, the place was packed with other diners! Once seated, the owner came over to us to put in our order.
We ordered spicy edamame, bang bang shrimp, yellow curry, Thai basil, and a few other items and everything was delicious. Be sure to let them know about the spicy level, because it was spicy for me (which I can normally handle). Everything was delicious, truly. The icing on the cake was that the owner was such an incredible host. He was kind & very funny. Absolutely recommend!Helpful 6Thanks 1Love this 1Oh no 0 - Daysi O.Charlotte, NC01527Sep 10, 2023
My husband & I visited this place 4 times. It's our date night spot, Each time it's always a great experience. We dined here with the kids once and they enjoyed it. The place is always clean and the staff is polite and helpful. We always order the pork dumplings. We tried it both steamed and fried. We prefer steamed (easier to eat and cut in half) The steak & chicken hibachi, chicken hibachi, Vietnamese lemongrass, and chicken in garlic sauce are all delicious! Though the menu doesn't mention desserts, they do offer it. The limoncello cake is so good, perfect for people who enjoy lemon flavored. The fudge brownie with vanilla ice cream is also good.

Having Persuasion down the street for years this was my go to Chinese spot, but since moving I have been trying so many other places. I thought they deserved a visit, and was happy to see the they were on Door Dash, which was a delivery service I started using during the pandemic. One of my favorite orders was the Moo Shu Chicken, so good. So, recently I was craving Moo Shu and saw that they updated their menu, and this item is no longer available. Ok, I will try something new.
I ordered the seared tuna with broccoli. Not sure I would order it again. The tuna was just okay and was crusted with sesame seeds, which were basically raw. I wish they were toasted or something. The broccoli was bland.
Overall, I have had some of their other dishes that I have always enjoyed, but the tuna wouldn't be on my list again, and maybe they will bring back the Moo Shu soon!Helpful 5Thanks 1Love this 0Oh no 0Aug 16, 2014Previous reviewSo, seeing the great reviews on Persuasian, and knowing the location is only a few minutes away, I was so excited to check it out. After two recent visits I wasn't as impressed as others, sorry. First visit was an early dinner so I just had the shrimp fried rice. Sadly, nothing to run back for. The rice was good, veggies okay, but I felt the shrimp was probabaly frozen. I wanted to give them another shot for an entree so went this past Thursday and ordered the vegetable egg roll, wonton soup and chicken with mixed veggies. The egg roll, one of the most bland egg rolls I have ever had. It was cabbage only with an overwhelming flavor of pepper and served with an absolutely extreme mustard sauce, ugh. Spit it out and passed on that one. The wonton soup had a good broth, however I felt it needed a little more flavor. And, the wontons, there was no pork inside, just raw wontons, another ugh! The chicken and veggies was good, finally a Chinese restaurant that serves fresh chicken. The veggies were good, but the brown sauce was a little greasy, and the bottom of my plate reflected that. Overall, things were good, but I did have higher hopes and wished for a great place in Dilworth as we are very limited now.

Would not recommend. We will not go back.
We ordered 6 items
Spicy kung pao edamame
Spicy kun pao house sauté
Korean chicken
Wonton soup
Szechuan dumplings
Pho
Unfortunately Everything was flavorless except for the pho. I am disappointed we spent money on delivery for a night in and ended up with the most bland food. I have never had Chinese food so bland - at the very least overly salty or msg takeout would have been better.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Jan 11, 2022
On a chilly Saturday in January, my husband and I were craving Beef and Broccoli.
We both placed an order for beef and broccoli with fried rice. He got the egg drop soup and I got wonton soup.
Everything came out exactly as we wanted. The broccoli was not overcooked and the whole dish was well sauced without being too heavy. The soups were just as we expected.
We'll definitely be getting takeout from here again.Helpful 3Thanks 1Love this 2Oh no 0 - Marissa L.Charlotte, NC05Jun 12, 2023
Ordered general tso's and pork lo mein to go. Both were flavorful and good sized portions - I had leftovers for two days. The staff was very friendly and provided a to go water while I waited for my food, which took maybe 5 minutes. I'll be back when craving Chinese food.

I decided to give this restaurant a try and had it delivered via UberEats. Ordered the Spicy Crispy Korean Chicken that was neither spicy or crispy. The chicken and fried rice were bland and tasteless. I also ordered the szechuan pork dumplings and I was similarly underwhelmed. I'm surprised at all of the 4+ star reviews. Wouldn't recommend. Won't order again
