I've heard this restaurant from listening to NPR in Charlotte, so I went and invited some of my friends and decided to come here to check it out. Here are my reviews.
Venue - the ambiance inside the restaurant is like being in Japan. If you have a large group of people, your group will be sitting as if you're sitting on a floor, but your not. The sits are elevated and the center piece is wide open. It's a comfortable sitting arrangement.
Sushi - the Unagi (Eel) was cooked perfectly. The softcrab shells are not bad, but I had better ones before. The rice was cooked very well not to sticky or clumpy. They need better selections in sushi.
Presentation - the restaurant lacks in presentation. It was a very simple dish put together.
Sake - they are pricey. $15.00 minimum.
Ramen - the soup was very tasty.
Overall, if you are craving for ramen, this is the best place so far I've tasted. As for sushi, I would only come here once. I've had much better sushi with awesome presentation and much better selections in California before. I still have yet to find a sushi that will replace my experienced in California. Also, if you don't tip enough. You will be called back in by the waitress asking you to add more on the tip. Its a MANDATORY!!! It feels like a teacher is about to scold you.
