This 3-star rating is a mixed bag.
First, it is about average for buffet. I have had better and far worse.
This location is far better than the other Ichiban I have been to in the Charlotte area (by the airport).
Most of the food was decent. There were only one or two items that I rolled back into a napkin.
The sushi was okay. Ru San's is far better for Charlotte Sushi.
The one thing I was a bit off was the waitress. She was about as friendly as charcoal.
I wouldn't pass on this place, but I won't go out of my way either. Won't warn you away, but I will suggest 'judge for yourself'.
