I am new to the Charlotte area so I don't know if the sushi in this area is similar to Sushi 101 in quality, taste or size. I do know that the menus I've reviewed online talk about sushi in different terms (i.e. "crunch" instead of panko flakes). The prices here are comparable to other sushi places I've eaten around the country. I was unimpressed by the taste of the rolls, finding them rather bland. I'm wondering if the fish was previously frozen instead of fresh but I'm really not sure. The "hot lava sauce" seems to be merely a puddle of sriracha sauce put on the side instead of being mixed in with Q-P mayo or some other ingrediant. The rolls were rather loosely rolled, falling apart easily. I thought the size of the rolls were rather small for the price though this may be standard for the area.
Ambience and service were good but I hoped for better quality. I doubt I would go back. The sushi was in general mediocre.
