| - Yoshi's Grill is basically a fast-food Japanese restaurant. They cover all items from sushi to hibachi dinners to tempura. I've been there a couple of times so far for lunch. Both times have been somewhat average. There's not a lot of atmosphere to the place (it is "fast food" after all).
The first time I dined at Yoshi (insert Super Mario Bros soundclip here), I tried the sushi. The rolls we tried were good, but they couldn't compare to sit-down sushi restaurants I've been to here in Charlotte.
Today, we tried the hibachi combo meals. I ordered the hibachi shrimp with broccoli and steamed rice. A side comes with it and I opted for the salad (I do love a good ginger dressing!). The hibachi food was good, but still kinda average. It is by the University, though, so maybe students won't care. But the prices for the meals were a bit higher than I like to pay for lunch at a "fast food" place. $11 for the meal, drink, and tax? And their meat and sushi combos were $10.25 + drink and tax. Ouch. Granted, it was healthier than a Big Mac (which I don't eat anyway), but you get the point. Price is a big thing. Especially for lunch. And the restaurant was practically empty. How about a lunch special, Yoshi? Students and state employees aren't raking in the dough, you know...
