| - They have the BEST Chirashi Bowl in town, hands DOWN! Years ago, I would order this and it was only $15 bucks. No one knew about this and I thought it was such a bargain because it comes in a BIG bowl of full on sashimi with soup or salad. I thought it was my little secret so whenever I come here, I always ordered it since I loved it so much. They are very generous with the type of fish as well. Then after telling my friends about this or they would see my chirashi order comes out (who also has the SAME love for sashimi like I do), they now all ordered it too. I guess it gained popularity and attentions from the owners/workers since we would have like a table of 4 orders of just chirashi bowls at least 2x or 3x times in a week. That's A LOT of sashimi but it was so good! Maybe Rusan's picked up that this was too much of a bargain and upped their prices to $17.95 (considering other sushi places around town at the time 2-3 yrs ago were overcharging chirashi bowl for $22-$25 for a small dinky bowl of raw fish). What I thought was a steal now is no longer a steal. :(
I was a little upset they would do this but it's still a good deal in Charlotte whenever I'm craving sashimi so much. Then last summer, they increased the prices up to $19.95, um what?! I came back last month and I found out they took the Chirashi bowl off their newly updated menu but I still ordered it. Finds out they charged it to around $22.95 or something like that now. What a bummer. I won't be surprised if they kept increasing it to $25. Oh well, it doesn't bothers me now since I don't go there often but looks to me like they don't want many people to order it anymore if they had taken it off the menu. Although I'm a little upset of the increasing prices, I have to say for the most part the chirashi bowls are always extremely abundant & impressive. This place always has the best sushi and apps as well. It's also not that pricey at all and you can get pretty full without spending a lot.
Service however, sometimes sucks. They're never known for their service so don't even bother reviewing about it. It's standard.
They have all you can eat sushi on the weekdays during lunch for $12 bucks (I think) so that's a good deal. Except all the sushi are very basic (cheap to make) with tons of rice outside and very tiny sushi fillings. Yeah, they're trying to fool you in thinking you're eating for cheap, they know it! haha. Good way for them to make money by trying to get rid of their leftovers. (?)
