“We have been going to Osaka's for a number of years. They updated their menu recently as well as the quality of their product. The new menu and the changes to their product has been exceptional. It is our No. 1 place for Sushi in the area. I highly recommend it.”

“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.”

“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”

“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!”

“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)”

“This is one of the only poke bowl places that don't overly salt their salmon. That's important for raw fish. They have all the toppings and sauces that I love here too. Alot of places are missing key toppings like green onions, corn, furikake, etc. The guy behind the counter is quick and efficient too.”

“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!”

“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.”

“I am so in love with this place! I work in the bldg where monarch market is and I was so happy when I tried seoul good! I have eaten there about 4 times and omg everything is so good. I have had dumplings, wings, and chicken katsu and bugoygi. EVERYTHING they make is very flavorful in the best possible way. The vegetables taste fresh and crispy. You can tell the ingrediants are great quality. My son who is 13 absolutely loves this place as well. Im so glad I can pickup dinner on the way home. The owner and his mom are really nice people and I love supporting a local great restaurant. You will not regret supporting this small business!”

“This is the go-to Asian option for us for pickup. The prices are great and even better the quality is outstanding. Somehow there is a freshness to their ingredients that just sits much lighter than other oil heavy Asian places. You eat here and feel great. Also have dined in person and their waitstaff’s customer service is excellent. Go here enough and they’ll certainly remember your name.”

“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!”

“I was able to reserve a table for a large group and ensure that their food came out fast with the restaurant. They were well prepared and hosted my group of 10 without a problem. It was a nice, quiet and cool place to take a work lunch. The food was delicious with nice portion sizes. Every dish looked great. And the staff was extremely helpful during our time there and helping get the orders organized for so many people. If I have a big group or a small group or if I’m by myself; this place is worth going to on a weekly basis.”

Helpful while we ordered +wanted to make sure everything was prepared nicely! Portions were amazing and do not sleep on the chinese doughnuts! Some of the lightest I've ever tasted & I've tried around 6 to 8 thousand in my life!”

Remember the "ramen wars" a few years back? Well, we might have a winner. Jinya Ramen Bar is slurping up success, becoming the second-fastest growing full-service Asian restaurant in the U.S. In 2023, this Tokyo-born (and Los Angeles-based) chain grew by 30.2%, second only to KPOT Korean BBQ & Hot Pot. It's the only ramen joint to make it into the Technomic Top 500 restaurants list. What's their secret? Founder Tomo Takahashi reveals.
Rock N Roll Sushi, the restaurant chain known for its fun, rockin' American-style sushi experience, is kicking off 2024 with some big moves.
