After reading some good reviews from fellow Yelpers, the hubs and I decided to give this place a try. It's amazing to me how many fairly decent sushi restaurants you find within a 5-mile radius in this neck of the woods, when it's slim pickings on so many other types of restaurants. You immediately can tell before you even go in that Shia has made mad improvements to the space. Years ago, we walked out of a scary Asian place that used to be in this spot.
Of course, the whole "Asian fusion" (Carolinas?) thing is still going on with a sushi chef alongside a kitchen pumping out a bunch of Chinese, Japanese and Thai standards. We stuck with sushi, and were pretty pleased.
The place was pretty dead, but it appeared everyone got fairly decent service. The only flub-up for us was that the bar had not chilled the sparkling sake (sounded interesting) we saw on the menu, so we went with warm sake.
We will visit again.
