“The best dang food in a 500 mile circumference hands down. I'd drive from out of state for the chicken and shrimp teriyaki... not kidding! In fact I'm going there after work today... I don't care of I have to sit in rush hour for “

“I had heard that Yunta was good so we decided to give it try. It wasn’t good it was AMAZING!! The service, the food, the drinks everything was an explosion of carefully curated flavors in your mouth. The edamames were my favorite ❤️ prepare to be wowed! We Will definitely be back“

“Can't say "I love sushi bowl+" enough. Best place I've found in NC/Charlotte. Staff is always super friendly, ingredients are very fresh/tasty, and bowls are a fair price. I'm usually a bit weary of raw fish being landlocked here in Charlotte; if you share this concern, there is nothing to worry about at Sushi Bowl+! Fish (and everything else) is very fresh.I hope to enjoy bowls from here for years to come! :)Originally posted this to yelp reviews, but wanted to share on google as well, so everyone can see.“

“Great sushi options. Ballantine roll was superb, terrific calamari and good selection of cocktails.“

“Awesome experience at Konnichiwa tonight. Food quality was great we had calamari and tempura vegetables appetizers. My wife had the Mango Madness sushi roll which looked great and I had a shrimp hibachi bowl which was huge and full of shrimp and vegetables Yum!! The service was also great, our server was always there asking if we needed anything. I also checked out the restroom and I must say was very clean and smelled nice. Overall great experience and I must say the prices are very reasonable. We will be back!“

“It's really fun getting a bunch of apps here. It's really good food and a very sleek, chill atmosphere. I like that there's some couches to lounge on in front of a TV upstairs and the lighting is dim. I'm currently obsessed with Baku.“

“We had an amazing dinner here during Queens Feast. Highly recommend for a date night as the atmosphere is extremely warm and romantic. Great drinks as well, and the food of course was delicious and extremely fresh.“

“Our favorite sushi spot!!“

“Great ramen place and service! So far the best ramen I had in Charlotte“

“The service here is great, both quick and friendly. The food is authentic and traditional. If you want Japanese food, this is where you get it. The food is reasonably priced, considering how good it tastes. I would definitely recommend as a family experience if you have older kids, as the small building would not accomodate for super loud noise.Dietary restrictions: If you are vegetarian or dairy free, their menu can accommodate for that naturally since a lot of their dishes do not have dairy. Also, since many dishes are rice-based, gluten intolerance may be accommodated for as well. If you have Celiac's though, I'd contact the restaurant since they do have wheat noodles in their ramen and I'm not sure if they have gluten free soy sauce.“

“Best poke bowl in Charlotte, jokes asideI’ve been trying poke bawl / sushi for more then a year everywhere around Charlotte.This place is the best place you’ll find, trust me.I can post many pictures of the food I had here but I’ll show you one with my empty bowl ? because it is so good I finished it before I realized I could have shared with you.Love the customer service, food is simply delicious, atmosphere like home, clean and tidy ?Recommend ????? 5 stars“

“We traveled to Concord for a show and craved sushi. This place stuck out to me because of the names of the rolls.The service was amazing! Our food was absolutely delicious.Highly recommend trying the fatty blue fin (hara naka toro) and the kampachi. The hara naka toro is hands down the best piece of sushi I’ve ever had in my life!We also had the sesame chicken appetizer and side of garlic noodles.For rolls, the screaming o was BOMB! There’s wasabi oil in it that takes you by surprise, but it’s not overbearing. The crunchy spicy tuna was also good- they were huge!!Highly recommend this spot for great tasting sushi. It was the perfect date night.There’s a free parking garage close by if you can’t find a street spot“

“The chicken katsu sandwiches are very good. The crispiness on the chicken and the soft bread are a winning combination. My only critique is they come with more mayo than I would like. Wish there was a way to ask for less on the online ordering.“

“Another great spot for good sushi in south Charlotte! Good nigiri selection above and beyond the basics, including toro, uni from Japan, and ishidai as a special when I stopped in.Overall vibe - it's a small-ish place; not huge, which I like. Not fancy but not super casual either. Pretty quiet when I stopped in for lunch on a weekend. There are tables, a bar area, and a small sushi bar - the guys working there were happy to talk about what they had in, from where, etc. I always appreciate an interactive experience.It's a bit of a drive for me up in Huntersville, but I for sure see myself coming back here next time I'm in the area.“

“I had the Pad Kee Mow and it was AMAZING! I ordered mine with shrimp and my wife had the chicken. I love good Thai food, and this was the best so far of all of the other Thai restaurants I have tried in the area.“

“I get takeaway. It is a small space and definitely made more for takeaway than for sitting inside. However, it is absolutely delicious. I get the poke bowls and hibachi and eat the poke bowl one night and hibachi the next. I have tried the existing poke bowls and they were all good. But now I make my own. The portions are good sized, the veggies and meats are fresh and I get a ton of the toppings. I love the hibachi as well and often get the chicken, but the chicken and steak is great!I eat here once every week to two weeks and have had consistent quality, portions, and service for the many months I have been doing so.They are fast and I usually grab some groceries from the Harris Teeter right there, grab dinner at Mama Poke Bowl and go!Vegetarian options: There are many offerings to add to a poke bowl or even make a salad bowl.Dietary restrictions: I don't eat wheat but am not gluten intolerant. I find all yhe veggies fresh and feel great after eating here.“

“Masa sushi is my go to place for Chinese food. The rice is always cooked to perfection, the ladies at the front are always courteous and my food is always on time. I gave them a 4 in atmosphere due to the small space. There aren’t many table but it’s okay for me because I only order takeout. Every dish that I’ve tried I loved except for the Lo mein noodles, to me they are too dry. The fried rice is superior to any fried rice I’ve had in the area. Lately, I’ve been getting the honey and sweet&sour chicken. The sauce comes on the side and the chicken pieces are small and crunchy. If you get a combo, it comes with a spring roll or egg roll. The spring roll is crispy with a peppery cabbage filling that pairs well with these sweet and savory dishes.“

“Great Service. Tasty food. Great variety. Something for everybody.“

“SushiHana impresses with its delicious sushi spread and diverse menu. The all-you-can-eat option is a fantastic highlight, allowing you to sample a wide variety of sushi rolls and other dishes without breaking the bank. The fresh fish and beautiful presentation remain consistent, even with this generous offer. The prompt and friendly service further enhances the dining experience, making SushiHana a top choice for sushi enthusiasts looking for value and quality.“

“Go-to Asian food. It's quick, good, and relatively cheap. Not the best sushi I've ever had, but definitely worth the price. The entree portions are large as well. I've been numerous times for lunch and dinner and haven't found a better go-to in Charlotte!“

“Great selection of food on the buffet all kept refilled. The food was delicious. The Hot and Sour soup is the best I’ve had anywhere around here. I will definitely be going back. Great price for lunch buffet $11.99. So good.“

“Good food with good prices. Everything was fresh and authentic. Pho was well seasoned with not too much salt, steak and vegetables were fresh. Sushi was well proportion and tasty, balanced rice to filling ratio. Clean dining area and bathrooms, helpful and attentive staff. Will come back many times.Parking: Lots of parking, shares lot with many businesses but seemed like there was always a spot close by open.“

“We had a great time I took my 3 year old twins for the first time and they absolutely loved the fire ??? staff is friendly and the chef was very engaging with the kids. We’ll be back soonKid-friendliness: Chef is very engaging with the kids“

“Fast food sushi without the fast food taste. Great place in uptown to grab a few rolls to go or miso on a cold rainy day. Order ahead and it will likely be ready when you walk in. Folks working there are friendly and do a great job giving you a quick healthy meal when you're eating on the run.“

“Delicious food with quality meat.“

“Good food - Excellent wait staff“

“Loved the decor and ambiance of this place to begin--sexy, modern, dim. Our hostess/waitress/bartender (LOL) was sweet and attentive. The food was outstanding. We shared some apps first. The standouts were the pork gyoza, which was both tender with a perfect pan sear on one side, and the shrimp shumai which came swimming in a sauce so flavorful that we dipped everything else in it! The spring rolls were decent, if a tad doughy for my taste. Do yourself a favor and order the double fried wings in Kudoku sauce. We seriously had to stop ourselves from getting another order because we knew the entree was coming. We shared the Korean short rib entree. I thought the pieces of meat would have been be a little thicker, but it was very tasty. The Brussels sprouts that came with it were phenomenal! I'd eat those as a main course. *giggles* I'll be back! Wonderful addition to the Plaza Midwood food scene.“

“Great eating friendly good food“

“Wonderful food and atmosphere. Great employees! Went twice within 5 days while I was in town visiting. Will definitely come back when I’m town again!!!“

“Everything here tasted amazing! Very nice and attentive server. I ordered miso soup, salad with ginger dressing and 3 California rolls and all of it was delicious ?! My husband had the Mongolian beef and he loved it . Said it had the right amount of spice to it. We also got fried gyoza and they were so tasty as well. I rate this place 10/10.“

“The all you can eat experience is fun, and the sushi is decent, but the appetizers ordered through the tablet weren’t as good. Love the idea of paying before you sit down since you can just get up and leave after you’re done eating. Atmosphere could use a big improvement, felt a bit like a hospital canteen.“

“I’ve been traveling through CLT a BUNCH the last 2 years. I can’t believe I’m saying this about airport sushi -but it is solid. I’ve come here almost every time lately. Have yet to have a bad experience when coming here and Ed at the bar is great.Note: I always order there, I feel like maybe takeaway isn’t as good or worth it.“

“Have not been here for a while, I meet with my friends have dinner here. The Shui Mai was so good, not even get time to take picture all gone, lol. Sashimi was fresh and tempura was good. Especially fried rice noodle, we got shrimp fried noodles, it was very good! highly recommend! Plus my friend ordered a bento box, a lot of different things can eat, will try next time! Hope be here soon!“

“Excellent sushi every time. Reasonably priced with a great atmosphere.“

“just a heads up if you order the hibachi chicken dinner and it says it comes with soup and salad you have to make sure you ask for the soup or you'll get home and will not haveit. call back and they said you have to ask for the soup even though the menu says it comes with????04/04/24“

“I've only ever ordered the teriyaki chicken entree with the exception of 1 tuna roll. The teriyaki chicken is delicious and is served with fried rice and hibachi vegies on the side. They give you they're brands yum yum sauce and a brown ginger sauce on the side, and both are quite tasty. My only complaint is that it's a little pricey for what you get, and I've had a few cashiers who seemed unhappy and didn't smile whatsoever. Otherwise, it is a great option instead of going out to an even more expensive Japanese steakhouse. Also, the teriyaki dishes are better than the hibachi variants for sure.“

“We had a great chef! Good was excellent!“

“My husband and I went here because I was craving sushi, im about 6 months pregnant, and before you say anything, yes, we made sure everything we ordered was fully cooked. It was delicious. The ordering process was a tad frustrating as even the manager did not seem to know what was fully cooked. That's the only reason why it's not a 5 star. They did their best to accomadate us though. We love this place, we are from the coast and are spoiled by extremely fresh fish and this is the only place that meets that standard. Would recommend it, but if you are pregnant or only like cooked fish, just come prepared and do your research so you aren't fumbling like us.“

“Very good clean ACYE sushi tonight well worth the price. Friendly people.“

“My hubby took me on a surprise low key birthday dinner and I mentioned I'd never tried this restaurant, so we came. We were greeted by our waitress, Ivy, and she was truly amazing. She gave us suggestions and she was right, the spider roll was great and it was my first time eating soft crab. She also suggested hibachi, so we ordered chicken and shrimp and it was very good. The ambiance was low key and chill. We were able to take leftovers home, but I definitely recommend this spot, especially for date night!“

“I’ve had a pleasure of visiting many hibachi restaurants over the years. This one is huge and did not know this was in Rock Hill. It has lots of tables, great decor, amazing service and delicious food! Don’t let this hidden gem go without visiting with friends and family. Very clean environment and loved my experience.“

“Good experience, food is always good“

“The cashier was beautiful and so cheerful, and lady assisted her with a smile and just great energy on this rainy day. But most importantly the bowl was 10/10 plus it was a Tuesday special. I had to double back and buy 2 more for take home...yes, that good.Vegetarian options: The vegetables were cooked perfectly soft with a little crunch, everyone was so friendly“

“Have been going here since I was a little girl. The food has always been delicious. Prices barely went up during covid. Cheap hibachi and great quality for the price! Moved away for a few years but am now moving back to the area. I was praying that the place was still a hit and oh yes it was! Just as I remembered it, wonderful! We will definitely be stopping by here all of the time for a quick dinner! I have the hibachi steak with mushrooms pictured and my boyfriend had the hibachi steak with broccoli. I recommend the steak as the chicken is a little bland at times. Also the owners are very kind.“
