| - This is a great sushi place in Charlotte! I'm so sad I only discovered this place after 15 years of living here... Anyway, I wouldn't say this spot is a secret - it gets super busy. And by super, I mean a 2 hour wait on a Wednesday night. Well, technically it was like an hour wait to even get seated. Once inside, I realized that this place is pretty small and cozy, so seating is limited. We chose to sit at the bar because spots opened up. We ordered 4 rolls to share amongst 5 people. Our server was friendly but it still took a long time for food to come.. almost an hour I'd say. It was interesting to see the talented and very speedy sushi chefs crank out rolls, but at the same time it was sad just wondering if they were finally making ours and watching the plates being whisked away. I think they felt bad that we were waiting so long, so they put 4 of our rolls onto a sushi boat without us asking. I think my favorite roll was the big boss roll (it's their most popular one), and the discovery roll was also good. All the rolls were unique and flavorful. I never really tend to opt for the more traditional options so I can't really speak to those. Their selection is quite expansive.
Honestly, this place should expand to a bigger space - I think that's their main problem right now. I would come back again in a heartbeat, but I'd advise coming here early or else you'll likely be hangry like us. Quite a few people called and got their order to-go, which is also a smart move.
