“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”

“It is without exaggeration that I say this is my favorite restaurant in the Charlotte area. You can tell the level of care and detail the food is consistently prepared with. Everything is always just right, from the house made salad dressing, to the breading on the pork, even down to the ramen being just the right thickness and consistency. The servers are always prompt and courteous and the portions are always generous too. I genuinely can’t recommend this place enough, I just wish they were open on Tuesdays.”

“Loved my lunch experience at Dozo. I felt like I was back in Japan. The bento box provided the perfect amount of food to fill you but not leave you feeling stuffed. The pickled radish was very tasty with great texture; I could eat my fill with those. However, I wished the karaage would’ve been coated more for an extra crispy texture. The waitlist feature on the site is a bit misleading. Obviously, you can’t join the waitlist when the restaurant is closed but having a waitlist option made it seem like it would be hard to get a seat. We ended up walking in for lunch. Will be back for more!”

“Yugenn is a Japanese restaurant that takes the art of both Japanese cooking and cocktail making to the next level. Whether it be the Hamachi Haru with the semi spicy strawberry Ponzu, salmon nigiri with lemon, or Scarlett Crown Sushi roll (Tempura Soft Shell Crab, Avocado| Topped: Spicy Tuna, Spicy Mayo, Fried Garlic)) It was all delicious artistry. Service was impeccable too (Sophia). The Lotus Milk Punch cocktail probably jumped too my favorite cocktail in Charlotte. (Clarified Don Julio Reposado, Zacapa, Lime, Pineapple, Coconut)”

“We had an incredible experience at Mizu! Cameron was our server, and he was extremely knowledgeable and did a great job guiding us through the menu and helping us choose our dishes. Everything we ordered was absolutely amazing and packed with flavor. We tried the Taki fries, robata chicken, lobster fried rice, spiced carrots, sea bass, cowboy roll, and lemon drop roll—and every single dish was outstanding. We sat out on the patio, which was perfect on such a beautiful night. Great food, great atmosphere, and excellent service. Highly recommend Mizu!”

Alot of places are missing key toppings like green onions, corn, furikake, etc. The guy behind the counter is quick and efficient too.”

“Sharigato is a fun new concept. The atmosphere is very interesting. We went for lunch; I expect dinner would be busier and cozier. The sushi was delightful. I didn’t love the ordering-from-phone concept. We were hungry and had to take time to figure it out, add a CC, etc. and it wasn’t terribly straightforward. Ended up spending about $200 for 3 people for lunch.”
