Who knew? This little gem is tucked away in the Harris Teeter shopping center in Matthews. It's small but apparently regulars know about it - there was a wait at 6pm on a Thursday! Chilly outside temps meant our table by the door was rather unfortunate with so many people coming & going & holding the door open for extended lengths of time. Brrrr!
Now, I should point out that this place is known for their sushi. I don't each fish - raw or otherwise, so I can't speak to what they're known for; other than to say my friends all raved about the Tiger Roll & Christmas Roll. I did, however, order the Daily Vegetable Special and the Vegetable Tempura rolls. This was my first time trying anything remotely sushi-related and my first time eating with chopsticks (they don't readily provide forks!! Well, they might if you NEED one and ask for it.) Our food was served in a very elaborate wooded boat, which was fun. The servers were very quick with our drink orders & refills.
I thought the food was flavorful & fresh. I'd skip the fried bananas & bananas sushi for dessert, but others seemed to enjoy the green tea ice cream for something unusual.
Next time, I'll probably try one of their pork or chicken meals for what seemed like a larger portion at a reasonable price.
