50 Best Sushi Bars near Pineville

“Wasabi Sushi Counter at Carolina Place Mall has officially become one of my happy food spots 🫰🏼🍣✨

First of all… major love to the cashier because the friendly energy and genuine smiles always make the experience even better 😊 And hats off to the sushi chef too, because sir… you absolutely understand flavor 👏🔥

I always go for my go-to favorites—jalapeño cream cheese rolls and tempura sweet potato—and somehow they never miss. Fresh, flavorful, perfectly made, and always packed with deliciousness. Every bite is that perfect combo of comfort and crave-worthy goodness 🤤

What really keeps me coming back (besides the food, obviously) is the consistently kind service. It’s one of those spots where you’re greeted with smiles, treated warmly, and leave with food that actually hits the spot every single time.

If you’re at Carolina Place Mall and craving sushi, this little counter seriously delivers—great people, great service, and delicious rolls that keep me coming back for more 🍣💛“

“We had an AMAZING experience at Cowfish Bar and Grill!! The food was delicious BUT our waiter, Jevon, was exceptional!! He gave great recommendations and he was personable. The birthday parade Jevon led was entertaining and put a big birthday smile on my husbands day! Thank you Jevon!!!“

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

“Incredibly nice staff and great sushi. They actually care about presentation when you dine in. So many sushi restaurants at this price point do not care about the details of presentation. Their rolls are under $20 but they’re presented really well. The servers are quite kind and enjoyable which is also unusual of a price point like this. They’re doing things right here.“

“Sake Sapporo and Sushi 🍣!“

“Simply the best! Staff are always incredibly friendly and the Sushi is delicious. I have been dining at Red Sake for the last 3 years and every visit has been exceptional not only in food but also service 🙌🏻“

“Great value, soul lid experience!“

“The only place I get sushi from.“

“We had a BLAST here! Tons of small plates and they were ALL delicious! The sushi rolls Tokimeki, Natsu , Hestia roll , Salmon kumo are THE BEST 🔥! They're top 3 of my favorite freshest sushi in town - each roll, nigiri 🍣, and sashimi was AMAZING! Drinks are 🔥 too! My fave is the Smore Martini 🍸🍸. Last but not least, server Kelly is THE BEST 💖!“

“The only reservation I could get was at 4:30, so we did the early bird special and went up the stairs to Uchiba! I think they have done a great job getting new stores and restaurants in this new area of Plaza Midwood. We had high hopes for Uchiba and they really delivered on all categories. The space itself wasn’t huge and had almost as much space outside as in. The servers were great and very conscientious about allergies. The food was amazing. The dishes were well paced. We didn’t feel rushed or worried that they forgot us. Uchiba is a great addition to the Charlotte food scene.“

“We had a awesome waitress and the cook was amazing 🥰🥰🥰‼️“

“Soooooooo thrilled that Akahana in Baxter is doing BOGO sushi again!!!! Jamie was amazing 🤩 And as always the food was incredible!!! Quick reminder to patrons- tip on the full amount, not the discounted bogo amount 😉“

“Great value, soul lid experience!“

“Excellent sushi, always top quality and the servers are warm and friendly. I highly suggest going by to grab some of your favorite sashimi or sushi.“

“Excellent sushi every time. Reasonably priced with a great atmosphere.“

“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!!!“

“We have been to Ming Fu Waxhaw several times and have enjoyed the food. The sushi is presented artfully and the fish is always fresh. The Chinese entrees are always excellent in both taste and presentation. The spice level of any dish can be customized and I always enjoy extra spicy. The service has always been excellent whether seated in the restaurant or at the sushi bar. The only negative is that the restaurant closes at 0830 pm which is early compared to other restaurants in the area.“

“This place is back! The food and service Was Michelin star quality ! It’s a must try . #yum“

“Absolutely AMAZING! This place truly stands out as the best poke bowl spot in town, hands down. Every visit feels special because the people running it are not only incredibly talented with their food but also genuinely kind and welcoming. They always greet you with the warmest smiles, making you feel right at home from the moment you walk in. The quality of their food is consistently top-notch—the flavors are fresh, vibrant, and perfectly balanced every single time. And don’t even get me started on their teas! Each one is crafted with care and always hits the spot, whether you’re looking for something refreshing or comforting. Honestly, this place never fails to amaze me, and it’s become my go-to spot whenever I want something delicious and uplifting.“

“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.“

“Tight entrance-exit lanes. Nice inside one way up/down lanes so you don’t have to cross other vehicles on tight turns going floor to floor. Easy fast down “twistie” lane on side of building to get to ground floor. Lots of open space even during week days in upper floors. Spaces are not particularly spacious.“

“I have visited here multiple times in the past 17 years when I lived in Charlotte. Food was very authentic back then, but it changed a bit over time. And the majority of customers back then were Japanese. Or maybe there are many Japanese restaurants in Charlotte now.

A recent visit is still good, even though the food has become a little more Americanized, in my opinion. Customer service is as good as it was on my first visit 17 years ago. Prices are reasonable. I would come here again when I visit Charlotte.“

“What a wonderful experience for our 51st Wedding Anniversary. The food was the best ever. The service was prompt, polite, professional and friendly. The atmosphere was charming, clean and family friendly. We will go back.“

“So good! Had the Tom Kha soup, Shrimp Shumai dumplings and Mussamun Curry. All delicious! Can’t wait to try the Sushi rolls. Everything was over the top good!“

“Good food - Excellent wait staff“

“The new manager who bartends sometimes, is always awesome and kind to me. Thank you 🫰🏻🙂

I really love the food here but I came during lunch and I received the worst service ever. 45 mins for a roll and I was the only customer in there for the first 30 minutes. It was upsetting to have to ask for a refill and sauce and for someone to please bring my food.“

“Our favorite sushi spot!!“

“Nice atmosphere and food was amazing!“

“We had an amazing dinner here during Queens Feast. Highly recommend for a date night as the atmosphere is extremely warm and romantic. Great drinks as well, and the food of course was delicious and extremely fresh.“

“I really enjoy the food at Thai House, especially the Pad Thai I ordered during my visit, it was honestly delicious and one of the better ones I’ve had recently. The kitchen clearly does a great job, which is why this review is disappointing for me to leave.

However, the atmosphere was negatively affected by the behavior of a staff member I believe was named Alicia. She appeared very passive aggressive toward her coworkers throughout my visit. I noticed her walking past employees as if they weren’t there, and the way she was slamming plates and handling things behind the counter was uncomfortable enough that it actually made me jump at one point.

As a customer, it created tension in the environment and made me feel bad for the staff around her. I understand restaurants can get stressful and busy, but the energy she brought completely changed the experience for me. The food itself was excellent, but the atmosphere made me not even want to stay and enjoy my meal.

I’ll probably order takeout next time because I do genuinely like the food, but I hope management pays attention to how employees are being treated and how that behavior affects customers dining in.“

“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.“

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

“Greatest restaurant on earth if they would start putting forks in to go orders.“

“My favorite sushi spot 😋👍🏿“

“Wonderful food ,but u need to wear a coat because they can't afford heat .“

“Comments heard at my table: “This is the best pad Thai I’ve ever had!” Also, “This is the best sushi I’ve ever had!” Extra bonus- gluten-friendly. So glad to have found this place!“

“Fabulous sushi and great hibachi“

“Great food and atmosphere and its in the down town area“

“so amazing! the curry is outstanding and thai hot is the way to go if you're up for it!“

“This restaurant is kind of hidden inside a much larger (office?) building, kind of annoying to get to. Its kind of dingy looking inside, old and lacks upkeep. The servers were nice enough but kind of awkward. Food was decent for fushion/American style Asian - a tad on the overly sweet and salty side. I liked the kalbi and sashimi was pretty fresh (though choices for types of fish were limited).“
