| - Traveling through Charlotte on my way to points north, and then back home to Atlanta, I had the pleasure of dining at Edomae twice in the last two weeks. Located conveniently close to my sister's home, it was an easy dining pick since we all love sushi. But if you don't, there are plenty of thoroughly cooked items on the menu to enjoy, including a large hibachi grill section.
The edamame is a nice starter, although the second time it was a tad on the salty side. No worries, since Edomae recently secured their liquor license and they offer beer, wine, and sake.
If you're a sashimi fan, you won't go wrong here. The fish I ordered tasted fresh and the quality of the sashimi and sushi is higher than the fish used in the rolls. Not that the rolls are bad - not at all - but if you're like me, you'll get the sashimi appetizer along with one or two of your favorite rolls and call it a meal. I'm partial to eel, but the tuna rolls are also quite good.
Edomae has a long list of special rolls, and some work better than others, but every one I tasted was good. My favorites include the Naudy Roll (made with eel, tuna, avocado) and the Green Dragon Roll (eel, cucumber, and avocado). My sister likes the Krayln Roll (Tempura, scallops, asparagus, and masago).
I didn't try any of the hibachi dishes, but the chicken and scallops looked appetizing and were served with soup, salad, vegetables and a choice of fried rice or noodles. A huge amount of food, reasonably priced.
If you're in the area, this is definitely a place to check out for lunch or dinner. Enjoy!
