I was very glad that Charlotte uptown can have a sushi place. My boyfriend and I came here today and overall it was okay.
Pros:
1. The service was great; Jeffery served us today and he was very helpful.
2. The maki was good, about $16 for ten pieces.
3. They offered 2-hour free valet parking at Embassy Suites.
4. There was a good selection of sake.
Cons:
1. The left-end piece for maki was not in good shape, for the two maki I ordered.
2. The sashimi has a clear fridge-taste, which I understood - there were not many people so it was hard to get fresh fish all the time; also, as it was $32 for 16 pieces, I did not have a high expectation. However I would rather pay more to get higher quality sashimi. Not recommended.
3. We were offered a 2-person table but it was a little bit small for the food we ordered; it would be better if we sat on a 4-person table, or if the plates were smaller.
We did not order tempura or soup because they seemed to be over-priced. I did not regret giving the place a try, but the food can definitely be better, give the price level. I would give three stars and half - rounded up for the good service.
