I hope these guys do well. I'd love to have a Japanese restaurant closer to work but, the competition around S. Tryon @ Shopton Rd is too stiff. Some changes to the menu will be required.
At the moment the menu only has hibachi grill style items and a total of three sushi items. The current promotion is buy-one-get-one free meaning we spent $6 a piece. Not bad when discounted but, not good at the regular price. I'd rather go down the street to Fortune Cookie II.
It's a great idea with some potential but, with the current menu and prices, I'm sad to say Pika Japanese won't be around too long.
