“I usually go there with my son and husband. All three of us have very different taste. this is the only restaurant we no one has to compromise. We all get exactly what we like. Our son likes Sushi, my husband likes Chinese, I like American. We try to go early because it's cheaper and we get a senior discount as well. we help ourselves to the food so there is no wait time. A refill of your drink is done very quickly. The atmosphere is also very nice. No loud music and the waiters a friendly and polite.“

“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.“

“My family and I ate at Hanako last night, and we thoroughly enjoyed our experience. We ordered miso and hot soups along with several rolls — spicy salmon, spicy tuna, volcano, dragon, and the Hanako roll. Everything tasted fresh and delicious.

Even though the restaurant was short-staffed, our food arrived on time, and the staff remained attentive. The bathrooms were also very clean, which I appreciate. The only drawback for me was that the lighting was a little dim.

Overall, Hanako serves the best sushi in the Indian Land area. When I’m craving sushi locally, this is my go-to spot!“

“My husband and I have had our favorite sushi spots in Charlotte that are tried and true that we typically stick with. However, we recently tried Shoku and it has now been added to our list of favorites! The sushi is fresh tasting and full of flavor. The hibachi style meals are absolutely incredible - and the sweet carrot that comes on the side is amazing! If you love a good crab rangoon with lots of filling you will absolutely find that these will satisfy your craving. The customer service is wonderful and the prices are great. Online ordering is super simple to use as well. So far we’ve dined in once and gotten to-go once as well as we will definitely return!“
