“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!“
