“Awesome sushi and affordable prices“

“My son and daughter-in-law frequent this restaurant often and suggested we give it a try because we always fail finding great places to eat and enjoy. Well look no further because Osaka is definitely going to be our go to at least once a week!! First of all, the place is really clean. We were greeted at the door, the service was phenomenal, and the food was fresh and top-notch.👌🏾 When we left the restaurant, our conversation on the way back home was critiquing how great this place was!! I hope that each and every time we decide to choose this place, we have the same feelings. If not better!! Osaka, you've really outdone yourself!!! Chefs 💋“

“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“Even though the place looked a bit outdated at first, the food tastes amazing.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.“

“Awesome food loved it. Need some more.“

“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“

“The restaurant is very nice and well located. The food is very varied and delicious. The staff very; but very attentive.“

“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!“

“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!“

“Great eating friendly good food“

“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“

“Delicious food with quality meat.“

“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“

“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.“

“Shoku Sushi & Bar delivers fresh, flavorful sushi with delicious sushi rolls and perfectly crisp egg rolls. Their steak hibachi is well-seasoned and satisfying. Generals chicken is also really good. Friendly service and a relaxed vibe round out a really good meal.“

“Everything here is AMAZING!!“

“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!“
