I'm a big fan of this place and I wouldn't even call myself an avid sushi lover. Although I like it, it's not my favorite food on the planet, (that would be my wife, she could eat sushi every day for life) but sushi 101 is incredible. I've never had a bad experience here. The sushi is DELICIOUS and I'd say it's fairly priced as far as sushi goes. On our last trip I ordered the Super Crunch Roll- one of my faves and one of my "usuals" and the Ballantyne roll. I expected the SCR to be great, and it was, but that Ballantyne was to die for. It has crunchy salmon skin on the inside of the roll and raw salmon on top. (Ugh, wish I'd gotten a pic of it) it was absolutely delicious and it might become a new favorite of mine.
We went with a large group of friends and everyone enjoyed their meals and the service was pleasant and fast. Oh, the edamame as an appetizer is a MUST! It comes out warm and flavorful and we couldn't stop eating it.
My father in law ordered the chicken fried rice (I don't think he's a sushi fan lol) and they brought him this massiveeeee plate out of the most delicious rice ever, he was in heaven! The other thing about Sushi101 is that they're right next to Polkadots bake shop, one of the finest cupcakeries in Charlotte!
