“I ordered the donkatsu and the yellowtail roll for take out.The yellowtail roll was very good, with minimal rice thats not flattened to death like some other places. It perfectly encompassed a large piece of yellowtail that tasted fresh. It was very addictive in taste and mouth feel for me.The donkatsu was breaded and fried perfectly with minimal breading (which i love) surrounding a nice juicy pork cutlet. Also very good.I definitely want to come back to try the other sushi options.“
“Great sushi, bento boxes and kids meals. Our service was great and the crazy roll were flavorful. The ginger dressing was fresh and the miso soup was one of my favorites. Our table ordered a variety and were glad to try hibachi and teriyaki entrees. We look forward to more to try.Kid-friendliness: Different options to try“
“I defiantly would like more flavor in the food and maybe shouldn’t have ordered tempura style veggies. I envisioned something else in mind and the batter on the veggies filled me very fast. I ended up giving up on the veggies and went for my sushi roll which was delicious. I love Sake and the bartender recommended a nice smooth one for us. I will go check out other locations in town.“
“Ordered hibachi chicken and teriyaki chicken, veggies and fried rice. It is a small restaurant so it's best to do takeout. The food was delicious and I will be ordering from there again. The cleanliness score was great and that means a lot. I took home one of their menus so I can call ahead next time. Might try the Pad Thai with peanuts next time. There are Chinese, Japanese and Thai options available.“
“As a Seattle native and recent transplant in CLT, Miku is my go-to spot for sushi. I’ve had the pleasure of dining a handful of times and it never disappoints. The staff is friendly and the ambience is inviting. The restaurant is very clean and organized. In my opinion, Miku’s overall quality & value easily beat out the competition - Red Sake. I’ve recently moved further away from Miku, but I will continue to make the drive for some great sushi!“
“This place is definitely worth a visit!! Sushi is one of our favorite but hard to find a good place. This place checks all the boxes. Food- I think my rolls were Spider, Hibachi beef and Miru Mountain and they were sooooo good! My fiancee ordered a bento box and the meat was very good and tender. The service was great, the staff is very welcoming and attentive. The presentation was beautiful and price is very reasonable. The atmosphere is nothing pretentious, is on the darker side, more light would be nice. We will definitely be back! Enough parking right in front of the restaurant, so that is a plus!“

“Tuesday was the first time that I've eaten at Kaiziku restaurant. I've eaten Japanese meals before, but not here. I had no idea what to order. Thank goodness for a great couple that came in and gave me some suggestions. I am so happy I ate here. I ordered the shrimp fried rice with vegetables and an order of crab ragoon. My dinner was delicious!!! Everyone was very polite and understanding of me being confused as to what to order!! Kaizoku Japanese Cuisine & Pike Bowl restaurant, Thank you for such a wonderful experience!!! I will be back!!! ???????“
“I have always been interested in trying a sushi burrito after seeing them across the internet in past years. So, when I came across King Fish Poke, it seemed like the perfect place to try to them out! I ordered the Braveheart sushi burrito and added avocado and seaweed salad. Everything was super fresh and tasted great! It's not super functional so I would probably stick to poke bowls in the future, but I was happy that I got to try it out! The service was great and friendly and the food was delicious so all the more reasons to stop in here and check it out.“
“Go-to Asian food. It's quick, good, and relatively cheap. Not the best sushi I've ever had, but definitely worth the price. The entree portions are large as well. I've been numerous times for lunch and dinner and haven't found a better go-to in Charlotte!“
“The food is fantastic I definitely recommend the salmon avocado roll and the vegtable tempura it's super yummy the staff aren't very socialable but I am still a frequent guest here since trying it I definitely think the sushi tastes fresh and delicious great casual spot for hangout with family and friends and good for a quick little date night :)“
“This place is an amazing. It's a small place on Monroe Rd, but they have a BIG IMPACT. The food is great. I typically get the eel and they have about 4 eel options. The wasabi is great. I feel right at home and the people working here are always the nicest. If you're looking for good sushi, here you have it. ✌?“
“I have been here a few times and don’t have any complaints. It was a later lunch when we went so there wasn’t a lot of people inside. I ordered the Volcano Roll and the Edamame. Everything was so tasty and made well.The volcano roll sounds spicy with the jalapeños on it and yet it perfect.“
“Super clean, great atmosphere, amazing staff, incredible food!! Everything was absolutely perfect!! Gloves at every serving table make it easy to protect yourself when making your plate, staff all wearing masks properly, tables skipped so seating keeping us at safe distances. Will be back very soon!!We went tonight with our family from our of town and we were very disappointed. The food wasn't fresh enough.“
“Ishi hasn't opened for dine in. They are carry out only and they open later in the day. We called ahead and our food was ready when we arrived. The portion size are huge. Love the carrots. I am not to certain about the beef. The flavor is off to me. So I'll stick with the vegetables.“
“just a heads up if you order the hibachi chicken dinner and it says it comes with soup and salad you have to make sure you ask for the soup or you'll get home and will not haveit. call back and they said you have to ask for the soup even though the menu says it comes with????04/04/24“
“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 love the hibachi in this place! They know how to make a really good shrimp sauce. I can't do any of the other rice bowl places in town. This one has spoiled me. It's family owned and run. I've been going here for years, never disappointed and always greeted with a smile. There's even a gitchy jewelry counter that's fun to peruse while waiting. Sometimes I find a piece of bling that really brings me joy. The food and atmosphere is a perfect pair.“
“March 2024. Alright.... For real this time. Slacked off last 2 years but I mean it this time. Will never return or go to other buffets unless it's with a lucky girlfriend in the future. (Need to lose weight and get ripped/ buffed) Thanks for being so nice to me even though I was by myself, eating for 1. Saw a happy couple right beside my table and felt so happy for them. Someday, I will be like them. And someday, I wouldn't eat way too much to get my money's worth and just eat there to date. Someday. Sah Luh Nah Lah, Saronara.“

“This is a big hibachi restaurant located in the University area of Charlotte, NC…it took way longer than expected for the chef to come but it was well worth the wait. The veggies were fresh, the meats were seasoned & well marinated & the server never missed a beat. The aesthetics were pretty nice as well.“
“After reading one of my other pho reviews of other pho places I'm Charlotte I've really been contemplating one question: What is the quintessential American pho experience.Now, personally, I prefer the tight, small, let's say "quaint" vietnamese places preferably with a bunch of dudes outside smoking and/or playing cards. There has to be some kind of gambling machine nearby. The music is vietnamese. that kind of stuff.Be-em has truly nailed it. Heart mind and body. There's no host, no server to seat you, you walk in and order from a nice big tablet. Take your time. Read through it all. It's touchscreen so it's very intuitive. I love it. Really feels like more restaurants need to follow exactly Be-ems lead.For the heart, this place is beautifully decorated with high ceiling and just it's a while vibe you gotta check out. For the mind, there are these laminated papers that have the story behind the restaurants name and frankly it almost brought a tear to my eye, really soothes the soul to see hard work pay off and be so real. For the body, well ultimately this is why every one eats, the pho was great! Definitely a google maps 5 star. I will now include what I call my "graduated pho scale" which is the most critical lens with which I grade wherein a 10 is essentially michelin star so-to-speak. This pho gets a 7 which is very good. The broth for me was a little salty but the meat was excellent. That reminds me I gotta rant about this meat cuz it was really really good. The pho got a 6 but the meat elevated it to a 7 for sure.You can really taste how they pride themselves on the meat I loved how the brisket had a smokey quality and I've never gotten more meatballs served to me in a pho "special" although I don't think it came with tendon or tripe. That said, this is probably the best experience for first time pho tryers and for kids! They have lots of Boba tea options and pho is only a little bit of the menu there are lots to try!Overall experience was a 10/10 this isn't just a restaurant it is a total hang out spot like get a drink with your friends and chill super cool kind of place!“
“Wonderful clean buffet run by a very accommodating family. They didn’t have roast duck on the buffet available as yet when I was there but went above and beyond to make me some. It was fantastic roast duck. Their butterfly shrimp was also outstanding. So was their vegetable chowmein. I want to go back to sample much more of their buffet items. Restaurant was overall very clean also.“
“Besides the volcano rolls being a little fishy, everything was awesome ! Loved the selfie wall, definitely took advantage of that..the drinks were awesome and the whole vibe was amazing..definitely will be coming back when I’m back in town!“
“This was our first time eating here. The service was amazing and the waitress kept checking on us and was super friendly. The food was all made fresh as it was piping hot and really good. I am not sure why we waited so long to eat here, but we’ll be back.“
