    Have been here several times and always leave happy. This is one of our favorite sushi spots in the city when considering quality and price. Also absolutely love that if you order enough you get a sushi boat! They are usually pretty busy but personally haven’t had to wait more than 15 minute for a table.

    Heard about this Charlotte sushi gem for years! Finally checked it out and it actually lived up to the hype. This place has a HUGE variety of sushi - so something for everyone. &&& the prices are on point! Warning !! this place has the potential to become very addicting.

    a true hole-in-the-wall sushi spot! small place, but the food was fresh and tasty. we got the alaskan roll, fried oyster roll, tuna roll, scallop and salmon nigiri, fried calamari, and steak hibachi. sushi was on point—especially the alaskan roll. calamari was good but needed a bit more salt. steak hibachi was flavorful, but the doneness was inconsistent. garlic noodles were solid but didn’t have much garlic flavor. overall, great food and a good time. they were understaffed, but our waiter did her best, so no complaints!

    I got “Favorite roll” and “Crispy scallop/shrimp with New Zealand” souse. Food was excellent, scallops were melting in my mouth. Amanda my server was very attentive and professional. I sat outside but indoor also looked very welcoming and authentic. Definitely will be back when visiting this part of Charlotte

    One of the best sushi places in Charlotte. It was a hidden gem but everyone knows about it. We went late on Sunday evening and it still had wait. The dining room is small so its always packed. The sushi is amazing and very reasonably priced.

    1st time here. Seated at a high top table. 1st pic is New Zealand chicken with rice, 2 fried shrimp, salad and crab cheese ravioli for 11.25 USD. 2nd pic is Hibachi steak, rice, salad, and 2 chicken strips for 14.95 USD. 3rd pic is spring roll for 2.99 USD. Lots of food for amazing price. Service excellent. Recommend!

    Only place in Charlotte to eat EXCELLENT Sushi. Been coming here for over 15 years and hopefully they will be here for the next 20 years! Had the Master Roll and Discover Roll which are two of my favorites. Great service, owner and staff make you feel right at home!
