If I were rating Japanese steakhouses i give this one a 5/5 because, unlike a typical dining experience at one of these places, the jean-short/mullet volume was extremely low. You're not going to walk away from here dissatisfied, but you're also not going to walk away singing its praises. I enjoyed my sushi, but I would go to Ru San's if I could only go to one sushi place in Charlotte. Moral of the story- if you want walkable higher end hibachi in uptown Charlotte, go for it. Otherwise- don't seek it out.
