| - Best sushi experience in Charlotte....both in quality and in value.
I hate sushi joints who think that just because they are a sushi joint, they can charge $4 for a paper thin piece of sashimi. Ru San's, on the other hand, will serve you two pieces of toro that are thick enough to throw on the grill, for half the cost. Easily, the best cuts of fish this side of Japan...and I've eaten at sushi bars all over the US. (HINT: sit at the bar, get served directly by the chef, and tip the chef after your first round of sashimi comes out...)
Also, the lunch buffet is fantastic for a quick lunch...some people get squeemish when they think of raw fish on a buffet line, but honestly, this place stays so busy at lunch the buffet turns amazingly fast...they are putting out new plates every 10 minutes...and if you are lucky, you will time your trip to the buffet just perfectly when they are putting out a fresh tray of nigiri or sashimi, because those go fast! (NOTE: they don't do sashimi on the buffet everyday, and the pieces are thinner than they cut when you order off the menu when they do...but come on, its a buffet! Take three slices, stick 'em together, and you got you a REAL piece of sashimi!)
Service can get slow here during peak times, but it is worth the wait. Enjoy some sake and chill out. The menu is truely an amazing sight. They literally have everything...if you've dreamed about it, chances are it's on the menu.
For those that think this is the "Americanized" version of sushi; that is only because you don't order the traditional stuff off the menu. They have plenty of stuff for the purist as well! Their handrolls are authentic, and their sushi rice is prepared in the traditional way (i.e. high rice vinegar content, very sticky, etc.). If you want traditional, stick with the nigiri, sashimi, etc.... all you have to do is ask!
FYI, authentic sushi means you are eating slices of fish, sashimi-style, over a bowl of rice. No type of roll, other than handroll, is authentic, traditional sushi. I can't be the first person to pose this question to the haters out there complaining that this isn't "authentic" sushi. Why did you order the deep fried roll smothered in mayo and expect it to be "authentic"? What part of the "Muy Buena" roll that you just Yelped about did you expect to be authenticly Japanese, I wonder?
FYI: Don't order the deep fried, mayo covered roll (it clearly states what each roll is/consists of on the menu), then complain that it was deep fried and covered in mayo. I can promise you a non-authentic experience if you do these things.
