If you asked me a few weeks ago, I would have given it 4 stars; but during my last two recent visits I have had some complaints. When they first opened, the food was served on nice plates and bowls with nice flatware. Now, they serve everything in plastic and styrofoam, big negative when I am spending around $14 for a combo.
The food is better than most other casual Japanese spots in Charlotte and the interior is impressive. Everything is nice and new with comfortable booths all around. Great for my occasional hibachi craving.
Bring back the nice dinnerware and I'll be able to justify dining here more often.
