    Beef Dumplings
    Kelsey C.

    Dining at Oshen Sushi absolutely blew me away. It may have been the most attentive service I've ever experienced. Our server explained everything thoughtfully and in detail, and while we had a water pitcher on the table, we never once needed to touch it. If any glass was even halfway empty, someone was immediately there to refill it. The level of attentiveness was truly exceptional. Now for the food. We ordered the edamame, beef dumplings, bao buns, Mango Bliss, Hono-Maki, and Doragon rolls. Every single item was packed with flavor and beautifully prepared. The bao buns practically melted in your mouth, and we loved that each roll came with its own complimentary, thoughtfully paired dipping sauce that enhanced the flavors of the dish. I would recommend this spot to anyone. I will absolutely be back, as it has officially become one of my favorite sushi restaurants.

    Lychee Cocktail

    We love Oshen and dine here at least once a month. The atmosphere is fun, they do birthdays really well, and the sushi is some of the freshest and best in Charlotte. We have tried most of the menu and everything is consistently excellent. The only item that has disappointed us is the beef dumplings. We have tried them multiple times, including again tonight, and the filling has been very dry with wrappers that are often hard or chewy. We truly love Oshen and will absolutely keep coming back. We also love dumplings and will keep trying them here in hopes they improve, because everything else on the menu is a hit.

    Doragon Roll

    We got reservations at Oshen for Valentine's Day lunch and were so impressed! The quality of the sushi was some of the best we've had in Charlotte and definitely the best in south Charlotte. The menu was unique and featured some really tasty cocktails. We started with the Steak House Roll and WOW, delicious! The roll comes in 4 pieces, deep fried crunchy and topped with savory teriyaki beef. The Doragon roll came out next and was deliciously topped with fresh tuna. Next came the star of the show - the nigiri canoe. Three pieces each of the nigiri options and all packed with delicious flavors and textures. The scallop nigiri literally melted in our mouths, the salmon was topped with fresh lime zest, and the tuna came with jalapeños. Definitely not your ordinary nigiri. We enjoyed our cocktails as well and this was my first time trying lychee. We are telling everybody we know about Oshen, definitely going back ASAP.

    Oshen is quite a popular restaurant in its shopping plaza. When I went in for lunch over the weekend, every table was filled with chatter. The waitress was incredibly sweet and proactive in getting us seated within 20 minutes of waiting. Overall the presentation of the dishes ordered were beautiful, and sushi was on par with the quality found across most sushi restaurants in Charlotte.

    We ordered delivery from Oshen. We were both craving sushi and Oshen was running a special so we decided to give it a try. We got the Philly roll, hono maki roll l, edamame and chicken hibachi. Everything was soooo good. It was close to the best sushi I have had in charlotte. The details in how the food was packed from the restaurant is also impressive. You could tell the servers spent time preparing everything and even included a little tray for soy sauce. If I didn't have young kids we would go in person for sure. I have already ordered delivery a few more times!

    Sanshu Roll  Hono-Maki Roll

    This place was amazing! The drinks and food were dynamite! The service was on point! Our server was attentive with small details of choice of citrus for water, always being refilled, even with the bottle on the table, and cleaning the table before out dessert. We didn't feel rushed & the cadence of the plates coming out was perfection. We never looked around for our drinks or food or our server. The vibe is sleek and clean. Highly recommend!

    Decided to check out this spot since we were craving some sushi. The sushi was great, but it was the tuna tartar with crispy rice as well as the jalapeno hamachi that stole the show. Give the wasabi cocktail a try, it was delish. Service was on point too! However, I gave this spot only 3 stars because of a big mishap...dessert!!! We ordered the Japanese cheesecake and it had to be the worst we EVER TASTED. It was VERY dry instead of being its famous fluffy and soufflé like texture like it should have been. It was either baked far too long (if made fresh) or not thawed at all (if frozen). It literally tasted like eating a dry biscuit. I was looking forward to it and it was a BIG DISAPPOINTMENT. Hope that was a one off mistake. Anyhow, we may give this spot another try but there is too much competition and so many good Asian spots out there to choose from in the Charlotte area.

    Truly amazed by the food and drinks. Nadia at the bar was absolutely amazing - recommended everything, and every plate and drink was on point. Will definitely be back!

    Flavored edamame
    Alex A.

    It's been a while since we ate at Oshen but based on my notes and recollection the food was "different". I'm usually a stickler for authenticity when it comes to my cuisine preferences but I have to admit I was surprised to enjoy the fusion fare of this restaurant. The flavored edamame was a bit of a revelation. It was, for lack of a better word, mildly addictive. The beef sushi was a little cloying after a few bites. Not too fond of it. Good to experience though. The tuna roll was surprisingly tasty. The service was attentive but not obtrusive. The ambiance was a bit avant-garde and fusion-y. And to be honest, didn't really appeal to me. Too bourgeoisie for my taste. Overall I rate the food a B. Service is an A, and ambiance is a B. Solid 4 stars. So the final question then is, will I come back? Maybe. This restaurant for me was a one and done kind of deal.

    So I came to this place years ago when it was a Mexican restaurant and since then they kept changing ownership. Finally checked this place out and didn't realized it was in the same building I used to go to. The place definitely change 180. The decor is nice and it's a pretty change. Came here on a Friday night around 5:30 and it was already busy. We ended up sitting at the bar. Everything we ordered was delicious. I would say the udon had a sour taste that I wasn't a fan of. My first bite of salmon felt like it had bones in it but I couldn't tell and just continue chewing. The hamachi, I was expecting jalapeno slices on top and didn't realized it was a sauce and it was spicy. Too spicy for me haha. The presentation was pretty. The drinks were good. I would definitely come here again. The staff and people are nice and friendly. Such a good fun atmosphere.

    Lobster Tartare
    Kenny C.

    Solid 4.5 sushi spot. I tried the salmon nigiri, lobster tartare, steak roll, and chicken karage. The salmon nigiri and lobster tartare were both 5 star dishes, and the steak roll and chicken karage were 4 star dishes. I would love to see a wagyu nigiri added to the menu, I bet it would be a big seller. Overall I like the menu, the food was tasty, and the place seemed nice and clean inside. I have to say my favorite sushi in charlotte is Kappo En (RIP soon), and my favorite non omakase nigiri actually comes from Yunta.

    Steakhouse roll favorite part of the meal.
    Holly M.

    I grabbed takeout here over the weekend, but the restaurant is beautiful on the inside so I definitely plan to dine in. Easy online ordering and pictures, which are always appreciated. I ordered the beef dumplings and the steakhouse roll. I don't typically do fried rolls because they are hit or miss, but this was actually my favorite part of the meal. The beef was a sweet stir fry and the fried outer part was crunchy and not dried out. The beef dumplings were really good as well, and came with spicy type of chili oil. The other thing I liked was the packaging-each item is labeled with the customers name and order. Very efficient. I was happy with the portion and the price. This is a great addition to the neighborhood!

    Hono- Hono-Maki Roll

    Oshen is definitely where you need to be if you're looking for great sushi, phenomenal drinks, and outstanding customer service! First, big shoutout to Nadia! Not only is she an excellent waitress but the best bartender! She was knowledgeable about the menu and guided our experience, with drinks and food that complemented each other. We knew that we wanted good sushi but we were open minded and EVERYTHING that she suggested on the menu was exceptional! The Doragon and Pork Belly Bao buns were our favorite but the steakhouse roll and Hono-Maki were honorable mentions. EVERYTHING had an amazing flavor profile. For desert, the pistachio ricotta cake is hands down soooooo good! Please keep that on the menu indefinitely!!!!!! One of the best deserts I've had in the city! So light and fluffy. Everyone that we encountered were so friendly and welcoming. And the ambiance is perfect for lunch with friends or date night! If you're in the mood for excellent sushi, definitely check this place out! I bet you won't be disappointed. It's worth the drive (30 minutes for us), the money, and the wait if you encounter one. Also, don't forget to ask for Nadia! You'll be in the best hands!

Unfortunately, the experience fell short in several areas. Given the location, you'd expect the service to be A1. Instead, I was highly disappointed. Our server was friendly enough and did share the popular items, which I appreciated, but the follow-through from the kitchen didn't match the expectations that were set. I went with the recommended Panther Roll, and it was not at all what I expected -- it came out half-baked and lacking in both flavor and presentation. The crab Rangoons were even more concerning; they were fried in what tasted like old oil, leaving a heavy greasy aftertaste. The batter itself didn't seem right, and overall they were difficult to enjoy. I've worked in the hospitality industry for seven years and recently started writing reviews to offer honest feedback that can help restaurants improve. I genuinely dislike writing negative reviews, but this visit left me no choice. Konnichiwa has the potential to be a hit with a more engaged, enthusiastic staff, consistently hot food, and some attention to kitchen maintenance -- especially the fryer and oil. I hope this feedback is helpful, and I truly believe with a few adjustments, the experience could be much better.

Edamame, cucumbers, yellow pickled daikon, tuna, salmon, avocado. A simple lunch was all I needed. Then, the hamachi neck part came grilled, not on the menu but if they hv it they'll serve it tender n juicy. Only reason I left a star out was bc of the parking. Other than that, I'd probably go there again if I'm on that side of Charlotte but for me Waverly is closest.
