30 Best Japanese Restaurants in Charlotte

“Food and service amazing However : Server totally ignored me and only talked to my daughter. Also we were asked to leave when they started to get busy. Music was loud and even my twenty something old daughter thought it was awful. Those things would prevent me from going back or recommending it to anyone else“

“Just visited the Charlotte Uptown location today and it was fantastic! This was my third time at this location and I think it's even better than the last two times. Keon, our server, was exceptionally nice and made our lunch such a great experience. Love Jinya! So good!“

“Delicious food with quality meat.“

“I came for dinner on a Saturday night. Sometimes you have to look for parking, but luckily there were spots out front. I was immediately helped and everything was explained. I was able to get my drink and all the condiments I wanted. I like how all the condiments are self-serve. I sat down and I was ready to start. Throughout the meal, I ordered several things off the iPad including hibachi steak and crab Rangoon. It did take a bit to come out, but I didn’t mind because of the conveyer belt. I do wish the iPads were connected by a cord because the interface is hard to see as the iPad is in a cage on one end of the table. Also, the interface is a bit laggy as the iPads are from before 2020. On the converter belt, I had many dishes including edamame, cheesecake, sashimi, and many sushi rolls. I enjoyed rolls, such as the Raleigh roll, Queen roll, naughty crab roll, shrimp tempura roll, volcano roll, etc. Ironically they did not have a standard Philadelphia roll. There was the Las Vegas roll, but it was a deep fried version. There were periods throughout the meal, where there was literally almost no food on the belt. I’m not sure what was going on there. While waiting I did enjoy their playlist of music.I did try the salmon and tuna sashimi. They were definitely not as high quality, but the price justifies it. Speaking of that, the price is amazing. It is only around $18 for dinner and the food is unlimited. I had not been here since 2021 and I am amazed the price is still the same. There are several unlimited sushi experiences in Charlotte, but this one is by far the best value and unique experience. In fact, they are now called Neo Sushi Express. Next time you are in Charlotte make sure to stop by.“

“I always come here to the Prosperity/Benfield Location but tonight it wasn’t decent. I’ll still come back but disappointed cause they wouldn’t answer their phone. I’m allergic to mushrooms. My Rice wasn’t cooked thoroughly“

“This has become my go-to spot when I'm on this side of town. The concept is great and the sushi burritos are always fresh and amazing. The service is great, too. I hope they are able to expand to the center city and/or east side of town, soon.“

“I really did like it. I am not however
Experienced in Japanese Cuisine truly I could have eaten six times as much as I ordered LOL make sure you've got a good appetite and you're really hungry! The food is phenomenal my favorite was this sweet carrots“

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

“It’s been a few years since my last review so I think it’s time to leave another one. King Fish Poke is the place to go when I need to cheer myself up and it was fantastic to find out today that they now have fruit teas. I got a passionfruit Tea and it is absolutely delicious. It is the perfect balance between sweetness and fruity flavor and I can’t wait to try the rest of the flavors that they offer.

Not to mention the poke….. best in the city 😍 there are so many customization options, and I love that they mix the rice and toppings together for me, even though that’s not their typical protocol.“

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

“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.“
