No other hibachi compares.
Shortly after moving to Charlotte a year ago, my younger sister (who has lived here 5 years now) took me to Ishi and immediately I was addicted. The food is VERY quick, whether you choose to dine in the restaurant or take out. Portions are large. Their crab rangoon is the best I've ever had - stuffed so full of cream cheesey crabby oniony goodness.
The staff is always pleasant and very welcoming even when you just go in to pick up your take out order.
If this place ever offers delivery service, I will be in SERIOUS trouble..... :-)
