| - Cowfish is interesting. It's good, but it's pricey.
First off, the menu is HUGE. I will say it may be the largest menu I have ever seen in my life, outside of some wine lists. If you've ever seen the Gordon Ramsey show "Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmares", well Gordon would have a heart attack at the amount of items on the menu. It took us over 20 minutes to order and may have been close to 30. Once you get over the size of the menu, the food is pretty good, and the service is very attentive.
We ordered a burger and some sushi. Burger first: It was good - on par with the previous tenant of the space, Custom Counter. Fries too. There are other places in Charlotte that have better burgers, but it was not bad. Sushi - Again, it was good, but not the best in Charlotte. I still believe Nikko's has the best sushi in town. However, Cowfish is just as expensive as Nikko's. And the atmosphere at Nikko's is better. And the sushi was prepared a bit better. So, for the same price and better quality, why should I not go to Nikko's? Short answer - I don't know. I'm not a Cowfish hater, it was just more expensive than I would have expected for the quality. They allow you to order a custom roll - so whatever you want on it, they will make it. I had an inside out roll with yellowtail and jalapenos. It was good and I would get the same thing again, with extra jalapenos though!
In summary, good but expensive sushi, decent burger.
Side note: They have a bunch of different milkshakes at Cowfish, but their blender sounds like a dentist's drill, so I beg you to avoid that if you can.
