I met a girlfriend here for dinner before heading to a concert at the Knight theater. I really wanted to give this place 2 and a half stars. Its not strong enough for three, but two is a little harsh. The place was okay, but I wouldn't go back. My drink, the blushing kiss was pretty good, but I wouldn't order it again. I actually prefer wine, but the wine list was limited.
We started with two appetizers: the calamari and the Thai ceviche. The calamari was good and the ceviche was interesting. It was edible, but I wouldn't order it again.
We had the cherry blossom roll, which was good. But it wasn't good enough for me to choose this place over other sushi restaurants in Charlotte. We also had a fancy spicy tuna roll (forgot the name), which was just okay.
Regarding the atmosphere, I'll give them credit for the effort. It's somewhat modern and trendy. However the tablecloth across from us had several stains on it and the window seal beside us was dusty. I realize these may seem like minor points to some people. But I definitely prefer a cleaner environment when eating sushi.
Overall, it was a decent meal in a convenient location. But I wouldn't return and I wouldn't recommend it. There are lots of restaurants in the area that are much better.
