“Awesome sushi and affordable prices“

“My experience here has always been top notch and delicious! It has been consistently great from when I was pregnant to now sharing meals on dinner dates with my son. The staff is always friendly and helpful. To-go orders are just as great as dining in as well. All this to say: you should go and experience this comforting place.“

“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“

“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.“

“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!“

“Absolutely my favorite sushi place in Charlotte. Staff is so friendly and the food is AMAZING!!!“

“This was my 1st visit to Musashi Japanese Restaurant & although the lunch menu was very limited I had the Bento Box Specisl that day which was delicious & a nice variety of tasty food. I especially liked the Unagi sushi 🍣 😋
The only thing I didn't like is that one dish was Surimi instead of real crab... otherwise I would definitely recommend Musashi Japanese Restaurant.“

“Even though the place looked a bit outdated at first, the food tastes amazing.
We love the Tootsie Roll and the Tuna Symphony — highly recommend trying them.
Timing can vary; sometimes you have to wait a while, especially when it’s busy.“

“Good food - Excellent wait staff“

“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“

“Very good restaurant a must try.“

“Great place for a quiet evening out. Food was amazing.“

“These guys go above and beyond. First off, food is spectacular. The fish is fresh, the flavors tasty, portions great.

What’s more incredible are the people here. We had a huge mess up with uber eats (the driver specifically) and the restaurant took it upon themselves to work with uber to solve things for us. They are amazing and provide top tier service.“

“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 17 year old son LOVES sushi! We took him for his birthday today! I love the steak bites and rice with vegetables and the crab rangoons!“

“Went with a group We. All felt the same way
We had never had such a great experience

Wheelchair accessibility: A lot of us used walkers. There was a special side where the table were less crowded giving us plenty of room for. Walkers“

“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!“

“Everything here is AMAZING!!“

“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 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“

“Honestly the best hibachi chicken I can find. Been going here since 2004, but last time was about 3 years ago (just due to my location). Got my same order of hibachi chicken with broccoli and sweet carrots earlier today - an extra Yum Yum sauce - and it was exactly the same hibachi chicken I remember and love. Other places just fall short (many times by a lot) and don’t come close to theirs. Love it and definitely recommend trying it!“

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