“Great sushi and spring rolls！“

“I try to come to this little food court when I'm in the area and decided to try Sizzling for the first time today. It gets ready relatively quickly and the main course is pretty tasty but I'd recommend to get an extra sauce cup for sure. I did feel that the customer service was a bit subpar but I feel like it was just the individual who took my order and served me.“

“YESS!!! amazing place when at the mall! I’ll always eat here!!“

“Great sushi at Yama Loso! Fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The service was friendly and quick. Definitely a spot we’ll be coming back to.“

“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!“

“Very nice meal. Sushi was great as was service and atmosphere!“

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

“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.“

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

“This place was absolutely fantastic,The poke bowl I got I forget which one but it's the one with pretty much everything in it it's the best seller up there on their menu board... I'm not usually into this sort of thing but it was absolutely amazing! Taking my wife there in a few minutes because it was that good I knew she'd love it and we gotta go because it was that good! Wonderful! Atmosphere is not five stars is a little small place but the food was so good I'm going five stars across the board on this one. Well done guys!“

“I really love their food and the service is top notch!)“

“Good food - Excellent wait staff“

“Great sushi and spring rolls！“

“Ru San's is tucked away in the Dilworth neighborhood at the corner of McDonald avenue and Park road. It has a great selection of sushi, and Japanese dishes. The restaurant has plenty of table seating inside or on the patio to accommodate large parties. When you get your food be ready for an amazing presentation of fresh food that is absolutely delicious. They don't skimp on portion size. You get a lot for the price, so it's a great deal. I've had poke bowls before but this one was mouthwatering. When I left my eyes were bigger than my stomach. If you want food that is extremely tasty and satisfying go to Ru San's!“

“I can’t believe I haven’t already left a review! Mama Poke is my favorite place to go. All the food is so fresh and flavorful. There is a lot to choose from, and you can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. I could literally eat here everyday!“

“Awesome food loved it. Need some more.“

“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!“

“Wonderful food and service!!! Martin and Felicia are excellent!“

“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.“

“Fabulous sushi and great hibachi“

“Great sushi options. Ballantine roll was superb, terrific calamari and good selection of cocktails.“

“Came for the bun thit nuong and summer rolls as I always do. 10/10 every time. The cold noodles and the rolls were fresh and delicious. Presentation is also nice. Restaurant is quiet and chill. Nice place to have a good meal and feel relaxed.“

“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 stopped by this sushi bar recently and had what might be the best sushi experience of my life. The two chefs, Ikadek and Ardi, were absolute masters behind the counter. Despite the language barrier (they speak very little English), their warmth, smiles, and passion for what they do came through loud and clear. They took such pride in every piece they prepared — the fish was incredibly fresh, the flavors perfectly balanced, and the presentation beautiful. It was some of the most delicious sushi I’ve ever had.
What really blew us away was their incredible generosity. They comped most of our order and kept treating us to extra pieces. It felt like we were guests in their home rather than customers at a restaurant. Their kindness turned a simple meal into a memorable experience.
If you love authentic, high-quality sushi made with heart, you have to come here and sit at the bar with Ikadek and Ardi. They’re the real deal. Thank you both — I’ll be back very soon!“

“Our favorite sushi spot!!“

“I have no pictures because every time my boyfriend and I come in here we demolish our food. The staff is so nice and welcoming everytime. Your food is in togos but that never stops it from hitting everytime ! Love it here and even though we’ve moved all around charlotte , wether its a 5min or 25 min we will continue coming here !“

“This is one of my favorite restaurants in Tega Cay when I’m in the area. The chefs always make the food hot to order! However, during my last visit (last week) my teriyaki chicken was so salty that I couldn’t even finish it; other than that, I think the chefs here do an excellent job. It’s good to see that this merchant doesn’t have a high turnover rate.“

“The best Japanese food ever! Always cooked to perfection.“

“Great Food! Friendly Service! We loved it!!!“

“Been coming here for years now and I have not once left disappointed. Our waiter might as well know us by name. A lot of people might order take out from here but I prefer to sit and enjoy as the food always comes out hot and delicious. I've tried a lot of different rolls but my favorite is the Super Crunchy Roll.“

“Brandi & her whole team are absolutely amazing! The food is wonderful, and the owners genuinely care about the staff, the community, and of course the overall ambiance of the restaurant. Highly recommend!“
