| - I have read some of the other reviews that said the sushi is not fresh, and even that the management is rude. Frankly, I don't get that, on either count.
I first went to this place because it opened up near where I live. The location has been several different things, and I wanted to support a local restaurant, hoping it would succeed. So, I went to spend my local dollars, and stayed for the food and service!
The decoration is minimalistic, but pretty cool and zen.
The sushi is great. They have a large array of different kinds of rolls, and they always come out beautiful looking and fresh tasting. We always pick out a few from the menu, and then let the waitress recommend one to us, and we've never been steered wrong. We often try to special roll of the day (my favorite-named was the one called 'We Didn't Start the Fire', which was the special when they re-opened after a fire closed them down for a few weeks). I only get sashimi some of the time; I prefer the rolls, but the times I have gotten it, it has always been fresh.
The service is great. The waitresses all remember us, and treat us like family when we come in. We've been there with a group of friends, who also frequent the place on their own, and now the staff always remembers that we all know each other. When we come by ourselves, they always ask by their names, if our friends are with us today.
It does sometimes take a while to get the sushi (especially on a busy Friday or Saturday night), but being patient is worth it. I will say that once I was there with a group of people, and one person ordered a hot entree, and it arrived a while before everyone else's sushi, so that was kind of awkward.
I am glad that such a great place is located in South Charlotte!
