Not too impressed with this place. The atmosphere is trendy, and of course the location is great for uptown. The chef wasn't as engaged with our table as they are in other places, he seemed a little rushed, and it wasn't even that busy...granted there was 7 girls talking so he probably figured what we were talking about was much more interesting than a volcano made from onions! ;-)
I had the Hibachi steak and shrimp. The shrimp was really under seasoned, and over cooked. I also split a sushi roll which was OK, it was no CowFish but not terrible either. The prices are pretty average for a Japanese restaurant, but the food lacked in flavor. We got a complimentary tempura banana dessert, and it was odd...the texture of tempura doesn't go well with bananas.
I'd stick with Nakato for Hiabachi and hands down The Cowfish for sushi...best sushi in Charlotte. Its not that I would never go back to Red Ginger but I wouldn't put this at the top of my list for great uptown restaurants. I've also seen Groupons for Red Ginger but don't really think it's worth it, don't feel it's that great of a deal for the prices.
