| - It's a bit difficult trying to rate Sushi at the Lake. I've been there many times before, but hadn't eaten in a while until yesterday. I'd say it was about 7 months since I had eaten there. A lot of things have changed. The food is still good, although expensive. The change I noticed was that they're putting less of the ingredients in there. For instance, I ordered the Rock n' Roll, it's a sushi dish with soft shell crab on top. There was so much less soft shell crab on there then times before. The sashimi delux seems to have gone up in price so I didn't order it. Instead I ordered just about 7 pieces of sashimi to share between the three of us. The sashimi was very fresh, much better than any other Japanese restaurant in Charlotte. Also got the lunch hibachi chicken and steak. Chicken was slightly dry but the steak was pretty decent at mid rare.
However, the service was not all that great. This may be due to the fact that we came in close to the end of lunch time. So maybe the waitress was hoping to hurry up and get on her break or something. She didn't bring us our ponzu sauce for our Tuna Tataki. When we requested it, she simply said, "Oh you want the sauce?" I mean... in the menu, it clearly states that it comes with the sauce, of course we want it. Then she would seemingly avoid our attempts to flag her down for something. We just got a weird vibe from her. So I'll go ahead and rate the food 4 stars. Srvice 3 stars, and rate the price point 3 stars because it's so expensive. Overall a 3 star restaurant.
