I have never been disappointed at Oshen's. My friend and I frequent Oshen's about once a week and we love it. The service is outstanding and the owners are so friendly. I love the spicy tuna tartare and the Doragon roll has the best flavors going on. The food is very fresh. I can't recommend this place enough! Do yourself a favor and go. read more

We've eaten at Oshen three times, the last time was March 27, 2026 . The food and cocktails were excellent both times, but the last time the music was way too loud. It distracted from the meal and made it hard to hold a conversation. This is a trend I'm not a fan of. We've had the same problem with loud music at Yunta and Barcelona. It's possible that we were there on a DJ night, but I'm not sure. I won't go back if the music is that loud. read more

We had two incredible experiences within the same week with Camila! She is so friendly, accommodating to our children and made the overall experience wonderful. Oshen's food speaks for itself, but its servers are incredible too. Thank you so much, Camila! read more

Sat at the bar. The bartender looked super annoyed. Ordered the miso soup , pork belly buns, tuna nigiri, and shishito peppers. Food was great. Bartender was ultra annoyed when we asked for wasabi. She looked disgusted actually. Ate and left. 4 stars because the bartender was annoyed. Everyone is entitled to bad days but don't let your customers in on it. Good music playing in the background too. read more

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! read more

Excellent service from Camila. She was very friendly, attentive and professional throughout the visit. She was always aware that everything was fine and made us feel very comfortable. Without a doubt, a very good experience. I would go back to Oshen without thinking about it. read more

Everything we had was great - the edamame, yellowtail nigiri, and salmon nigiri especially. You can taste the quality ingredients from the fresh fish to the homemade sauces. The vibe is much more chill than sister restaurant, Yunta, but the service is just as good. Definitely will be back. read more

The service was 5 star. They put limes on my rim, over the top attentive. I've never tipped more than 30% in my life - until I went here. It was worth it. Food was great and service was most excellent. read more

The food was very good and so was the service. We tried the shisito peppers and their rolls. We had a non-fish lover and they got the steak rolls and steak fried rice. Not too many options for them but was satisfied with what he got. Nice bright and open place. Crowded - book early read more

Wonderful new restaurant- food and service is outstanding! A very happy place; staff genuinely interested in providing a good experience. Food definitely above average with prices that are reasonable. Sushi of course but also many items available for non-sushi fans. We had tuna tataki, shishito peppers, beef dumplings, tuna and scallop nigiri, spicy tuna sashimi (make sure you get the crunchy rice crackers) and a light Japanese cheesecake for dessert. Reservations available. (A few seats at bar are available without reservations.) read more

Stopped by for another fantastic dinner at the bar. Service from the bartender Hormi is impeccable. What more can one ask for? Good service, fresh food, beautiful atmosphere. There's a reason why every seat was occupied and walk-ins weren't available until 9:30pm when I came at 7pm. Packed house. read more

Birthday celebration was perfect at Oshen. Excellent freshly prepared food and reasonable prices make this upscale restaurant special for any occasion.

5 stars!!! Amazing food, amazing service, amazing ambiance and great prices for the quality! Definitely make a reservation, the restaurant was full all night. When I arrived I was pleasantly greeted by the waiter who was very good at refilling our waters and checking in on us all night. The ambiance is nice, it feels casual with a flair of high end and the details on the place from the logo to the napkins were perfectly thought out. For food you cannot go wrong. We ordered family style and tried a variety of dishes. Our favorites were the salmon nigiri (so fresh) and the doragon roll. But everything was amazing. Highly recommend trying this place out! read more

Amazing experience! Drew was our waiter and he was very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. From start to finish, we had a great time. The drinks and food were delicious and fresh. Each menu item is offers a unique taste experience, which makes it hard to choose a favorite. All of the staff were personable and top notch. The only complaint I'd have is the music was a little loud, but that fits the lively vibe of the restaurant :) -- definitely would love to come back soon. read more

My partner and I had an amazing experience for Valentine's Day weekend! We started with the Hamachi Jalapeño Crudo, which absolutely blew us away. The smoked jalapeño sauce was so flavorful that we honestly wanted to take it home. Our server, Nadia, was outstanding from the start. She recommended the Tuna Potato Crisp, and it turned out to be one of our favorite surprises of the night. The blend of textures from the crunchy chip, tender tuna, and marinated tomato worked perfectly together. We also ordered the Nigiri Canoe and paired it with the Living Jewel sake, another spot-on recommendation from Nadia. Each piece of nigiri had its own personality and balance. The scallop nigiri with curry butter melted in our mouths and was such a pleasant surprise. The eel with avocado and teriyaki completely changed our minds about eel. We actually wanted seconds and my partner ended up getting the second piece. My personal favorite was the spicy scallop nigiri wrapped in tuna; a little tricky to pick up with chopsticks, but so worth it once you get that bite. The Living Jewel sake was the perfect touch, especially when served in its beautiful, interactive jewel-shaped dispenser. It added such a special element to the night. We definitely appreciated Nadia's thoughtful pairing suggestions throughout our meal. Her knowledge and friendly energy truly made the experience shine. Overall, Oshen was a hit from start to finish from exceptional food, presentation, and service. I hope this sake stays on the menu; a few of my friends have already asked about it! We'll definitely be back soon to try the hot foods read more

The most amazing sushi, and soo great with Celiac/gluten free diners. This is one of my favorite newer restaurants in town. The drinks our immaculate (and their bartender, Ormi, is a gem), and the service is wonderful, but the food is really superb. Don't sleep on the edemame, crispy rice crackers with tuna tartare, and the scallop nigiri. read more

Great food, great location/ambiance, good service. Overall we enjoyed our meal there!

I've been wanting to try this place and finally so happy I did. Dainty but full of energy. I absolutely loved everything I had. From the tap water, offering before we asked lemon, lime, or oranges twist. I thought was great service! We were honored to have Hormi as our vivacious waiter/mixologist! He's great! He answered all my questions and gave his top favorite, which I must say is mine now. The Fried rice with lobster was absolutely marvelous and my forever favorite! We also had Tuna tataki, Mango bliss sushi , and Sunomono. For drinks we had Spicy watermelon margaritas but we held the spice. Delightfully delicious with a generous slice of watermelon too. We will definitely be back. read more

HFS! I don't give this away very easy! As a huge sushi brat who's tried every place in CLT, this place is tops. I'm shocked that it has moved into my #1 place. And trust me I don't give this honor away easy. The fish is fresh and the inventive rolls are pure art. The wine selection is impressive and the service is on point. The cool ambiance is modern and clean. Love the food here and can't wait to be back. Worth the trip. read more

Service is amazing! Food was a hit or miss. We ordered a lot but there were the standouts: Shishito Peppers - nice char, a little bit sweet, the mushrooms were a great touch Salmon Carpaccio - fresh and light, umami taste Scallop Nigiri - buttery and creamy Chicken Karage - chicken was soft and moist, I really liked the breading they used The not so greats: Black Cod Misoyaki - very disappointed with how this turned out. The sauce was great but the fish was definitely overcooked. We ordered it twice to make sure it just wasn't a one off thing but the second fish also came out very chewy. Yuzu Lo - wasn't a big fan of this sushi Overall I had a great experience even though we were rained on but like I said the service is AMAZING and they brought out a second umbrella for us. Prices weren't overly expensive so I would definitely go again. read more

I dined at Oshen for the first time this weekend and was so impressed. The food, drinks, service, and atmosphere were all exceptional. The sushi quality was top-notch--some of the best I've had in CLT. I'm so glad to have found this gem. read more

We enjoyed our first experience at Oshen! We were fortunate to go in early enough to grab seats at the bar. I think there's some room for improvement but overall, it was very good. Some of the sushi we had was room temp, maybe because of the rice, but should have been cold. The cocktails were excellent and our bartender, Orbi (apologize for spelling), was awesome! The rice crackers - get them! It's a side to a tartare but they were awesome! Skip the milk bread. One this I would recommend, have soy sauce out for the bar and wasabi served with sushi. read more

Oshen is hands down my favorite spot in Charlotte. The food is incredible and to make it even better they have so many amazing gluten free options. The food alone would keep me coming back but the staff there is truly top notch -- friendly, attentive, and treat everyone like family. The cherry on top is the stunning and comfortable environment -- we look forward to our Oshen Friday lunch date every week!! read more

Our waitress was Veyanca The service was incredible. The wait team they all worked together, so the process was really smooth and fast. The food service was very quick. I ordered a second roll of sushi went to the bathroom and came back. It was already there. The ambience reminded me of a restaurant in Japan. It was very nice and the price is affordable for fine dining with two people. read more

First off, the customer service is impeccable, from start to finish. I was very impressed by the woman that took our reservation accommodating my father in a wheelchair.

The food is really good here the rolls are the only thing I probably pass on but everything else is phenomenal

After reading numerous reviews, we settled on trying Oshen. It started out a little rocky as we were literally the first people there (after 6:00 pm). We questioned everything at that point, but were determined to go forward. Within 10 minutes the place was nearly full, which not only made us feel better, but reinforced our decision. The sushi itself was good overall, very tasty and flavorful. The service was great, no issues at all and highly recommend Oshen. BTW, we are AVID sushi eaters, so if you're looking for reviews by people who don't frequent sushi restaurants like we do, then by all means read the negative ones. read more

Ordered delivery and experienced two of their most popular rolls. The rolls were meticulously packaged and appropriately chilled. The presentation was really nice. The tuna tasted and appeared fresh and e delicious; overall both rolls were creative and with excellent flavor and very fresh, high quality fish. I can't wait to visit in person and excited to try more from this restaurant. read more

Food & drinks: 9/10 Being rushed: This weekend was my 2nd visit to Oshen. The staff is attentive but to a fault. The 1st visit wasn't ideal as we were asked to move to accommodate another party's reservation. Understandable but we are also paying customers and hadn't been there than an hour. Wanted to try again as the food and cocktails were great. 2nd visit, staff was again overly attentive. Which can be nice but we were interrupted every 2 mins. Dishes were taken away before we finished swallowing. We ordered 5 dishes, and cocktails and received our check in 45 mins. We would have ordered dessert but after the constant visits, water refills & rushing- we left. The restaurant provided a time limit of 90 mins for party of 2 however they over visit the table to turn them as quickly as possible. We couldn't enjoy our meal. I really wanted to love this place. Sadly, we won't return unless it's for take out read more

Really good service while sitting at the bar where I received a complementary glass of Cava. Good selection of nigiri and sushi rolls.

I had dinner recently at Oshen. The remodel of the somewhat small space is spectacular. Soothing neutral palate of creams, brown & slate blue. A cool wooden, wave-like art element lines one wall and the industrial ceiling is painted a soothing slate blue. The pendant light fixtures are a nice touch. The floor is a creamy ceramic tile and tables are light stained wood. There's a small but welcoming bar in the far corner. Comfortable and relaxing is the vibe. Hostess staff welcomed us and were friendly and quickly seated us. We started with water and the server brought out a tray of thinly sliced limes, lemons & oranges and he offered to place whatever we would like in our water. Next up, we ordered drinks. Lychee & basil martini and a glass of wine. Both were good. The menu is well-rounded although the "Bites" or appetizer section could have used a crunchy shareable option (calamari?). They had a nice selection of crudo & tartare and we opted for the spicy tuna tartare. You then choose between Japanese milkbread or rice crackers w/ your tartare. We chose the rice crackers. What arrived was a lovely mound of cubes of tuna seasoned w/ sesame and soy and topped w/ thinly sliced avocado. The rice crackers were not crackers but rather deep-fried rice cakes breaded w/ tiny chewy balls that stuck in our teeth. The cakes were awkward and we had to break them apart with our fingers to eat with the lovely tuna. I would have preferred actual rice crackers. Maybe the milkbread would be a better choice? The tuna should be the star attraction. Next we had the pork belly "bao buns" (that's redundant). They were great. Sweet soy pork belly on fluffy bao w/ crunchy pickled carrots & radish. A nice balance of flavors. Lastly, we the Sanshu roll. Yellow fin tuna, salmon, hamachi, avocado and rice wrapped in soy paper w/ a wasabi dressing on the side. Every piece fell apart when we attempted to pick it up. Not tightly wrapped and a bit of a mess to eat after it fell apart. Impossible to dip in the dressing. Disappointing. I think the food has great potential. I love the other restaurants in this group and so I'm hopeful Oshen will find its groove. I would like to add that we found the service extremely intrusive. There was constantly someone at our table. It was difficult to carry on a conversation bc someone was always coming to fill our water glasses. 1-2 sips of water and someone was table side to fill us back up. That's too much. Charlotte has been notorious for bad service so I appreciate the owners desire to give good service. But this was extreme overkill, in our opinions. The experience was mixed for us but we are rooting for Oshen. These experienced restaurateurs will find the right balance. Cheers. read more
