Our second time at Cowa-sake in two weeks, great experience both times. Service has been great, food outstanding. Be sure to make a reservation ahead of time. Standouts have been the garlic tuna roll, burger slider, and sweet potato fries. Bag of donuts were tasty too!

No wait on a Friday evening which is unusual for any decent restaurant in Hickory. Food and service were great. Burgers are delicious as well as the sushi. Will be back for sure!

We visited this establishment for the first time on a busy Friday night without a reservation and were able to sit at the bar. The food portions were large, very tasty and the presentation was a wonderfully unexpected surprise! The atmosphere was friendly and inviting and the wait staff were pleasant and accommodating.

I had lunch at the bar, ordered miso soup and bento box. Everything was exceptional from service to the food. After many recommendations for me to try them out I will continue to do the same.

We didn’t have a reservation but seated at the sushi bar was fun! Daniel was so accommodating to my family and provided excellent service! Great food, creative drinks, and the atmosphere makes you feel like you’re in Charlotte. A definite must try for locals and visitors alike!

I enjoyed the place, serving sizes were good, and the prices are about good and not as expensive as you would make it out to be.
Overall very underwhelming. After several recommendations, my husband and I decided to go for a date night. He ordered the Cowa-Sake roll and it wasn't worth the $28. I ordered the Shogun roll and it was really good! We shared the potstickers as an appetizer and they were good, too. I was surprised it was $12 for only 4 of them. I ordered a Lemongrass Mojito, but it never arrived. I felt as though our server wasn't very attentive- I didn't even have the chance to mention to him I hadn't gotten my cocktail because he would leave our table just as quickly as he came. Thankfully, it was not on the bill. The atmosphere is nice and it was enjoyable dining on the patio. I don't think we will return.

While the menu is interesting and the food delicious, the service was not. Two tables, that arrived after ours, were served drinks before we ever met our server. She was MIA when we needed something and generally inattentive. This was my first time trying Cowa Sake. I really loved the food and plan to give them a second chance, hoping this was just a bad day.
