Who better to give you the latest restaurant opening scoop than some of Charlotte’s very own food influencers? Read below to find all the newest spots coming to a neighborhood near you in the year ahead:

I’m especially excited about Uchi and Uchibā coming to Plaza Midwood because it brings an elevated Japanese dining experience to one of Charlotte’s most eclectic neighborhoods. Even though I haven’t had the chance to dine at Uchi yet, its reputation alone makes this opening one of the most highly anticipated openings in the Queen City! My personal favorite style of dining is Japanese izakaya and I’m beyond excited for Uchibā, the cocktail bar and restaurant going above Uchi! Uchibā is a more casual dining style, so I’m ecstatic to see both dining options!
