Hamachi Jalapeno Crudo
Rosanne R.

Love the food and service here! The patio is super cute too on a nice night. The food is always fresh, innovative and delicious. The menu changes form time to time too. Our server shared that they fly in the chef from Nobu to provide ideas and creations! Super cool. The service is also always top notch. From choosing the citrus fruit for you water (comes out beautifully displayed) to presentation- quick and perfect. They even treated us to some champagne for our anniversary. The cocktails are amazing too. We had the watermelon margarita and lychee martini - exceptional! We ordered a few rolls, hamachi, tuna - I love the crispy rice! Definitely go and enjoy a nice dinner and a great local place!

Food was amazing and fresh! Service was highly attentive and friendly. Loved the ambiance, well lit, good spacing.

Oshen has quickly become one of my favorite sushi spots. Their customer service is always top tier. Their sushi is fresh, flavorful, and reasonably priced. They serve mocktails which have never been a disappointment. They have a nice assortment of desserts too. They also serve a complimentary glass of champs upon receiving your check. Parking is plentiful. The weekend can be busy, so book ahead!

Sushi
Tyler R.

Wow, what an amazing restaurant. From the second we arrived, everything was amazing. The atmosphere is modern and inviting. We started with edamame and the pork belly bao buns and they were to die for. We ended with 4 roles of sushi and each one was super fresh and flavorful. The service was friendly and the bill was very reasonable. Highly recommend. Maybe next time they will give us the champagne toast after the bill.

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.

Small location but they made the most of the space. You wouldn't except the atmosphere from the outside, but it was pleasant! Service was great and they even treated us to a champagne toast at the end of our meal. Food was fantastic and unique. The appetizer we chose was on Pringle chips - yum! Fresh fish and delicious drinks. The watermelon and the lychee basil drinks were my favorite this visit. This restaurant will definitely stay in my rotation!

Lychee Cocktail
Sydney Y.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

Shishito Peppers

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.

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.

So his choice was here. Google directions suck they took us around the back to the parking garage for the 2nd level and since we have never been here before it took us a few minutes to figure out how to get down to the first level. When we entered there was a waiter taking an order and no one else on the floor so we had a little bit to get seated even though there were only two other parties in the restaurant. We were able to sit wherever we wanted so I sat with a view of the screen with the replay of the Brazil FIFA game on. My husband wanted the unagi don but didn't order because the price seemed high. The table next to us all ordered bowls and the serving size was huge so my husband regretted it. We order takoyaki, spicy wings, and 3 rolls Godzilla, Hadouken, and Master Roshi. The wings had amazing flavor but were not spicy. Takoyaki was flavorful and the perfect temperature. I get a lot of takoyaki that is entirely too hot and have to crack them open to cool before eating them. My husband did not enjoy the Godzilla roll he said the topping was too much and didn't add to the flavor. But enjoyed the other two. I enjoyed all three rolls the flavor was fresh and very little need for soy sauce fine without it. If we are ever in Charlotte with time to eat I would stop here again.

Incredible service, outstanding fish, and a chicy-boob-boom vibe!…read more Probably the place to go number one for a fantastic sushi experience in Charlotte, this is definitely a place where a cool kids go, but you can be 100% DadBod and, as long as you're not in White new balance and cargo pants, they'll let you fit right in. The menu has so many great things on it, and skipping the tuna flight might darn well be criminal. You're gonna enjoy that quite a bit. The service team there is long tenure and really knows what they're doing. They just got a new general manager, and she's got great energy and standards of excellence around her. The AGM is the best dang manager you're ever gonna see! When I have close friends in town, who really want great meal, this is one of the places that we will for sure go. To a great walkable area and while the youngsters there tried to get all the tail feathers up a little too much, don't let that bother you.

We'd never tried Omakase before, but we've had other curated dining experiences. Upon arrival, we were seated immediately. Our waitress was pleasant, she started on beverages, and explained that the Omakase would be a two‑hour experience...totally fine. Within the first 20 minutes, our first dish arrived and it was excellent...But then...nothing. We waited, and waited, and waited. An entire hour passed before the next dish appeared. I pulled the waitress aside to check on the delay, she explained they had a sudden influx of customers but she'd ask the kitchen to move a little quicker. The food did start coming out after that, and the managers came over to address the delay, which I appreciated, but the damage was done. I wanted a memorable birthday experience for my daughter, and unfortunately it ended up being a bit of a disappointment considering the time and cost. The food itself was delicious, but poor pacing and lack of attention to the customer overshadowed the entire experience. I didn't ask for compensation but the managers took it upon themselves to comp my wine flight. I hope this was a one off experience but I can't say that I'll return to this restaurant.

We had never had any problems here until our most recent visit, when our server, Mauro M., took care of our table. We placed our order, and after our regular rolls were brought out, I asked whether he remembered that we had also ordered a specialty roll. He said yes, but later came back and told us that it was no longer available and that they no longer make it. That itself was not a big deal -- we could have simply ordered something else. What bothered me was that he did not tell us until I specifically asked about it. If I had forgotten, we might have just kept waiting for something that was never coming. When we received the check, the total was also higher than it should have been because the specialty roll that we never received was still included. He eventually brought us a corrected check. Because of the poor service and difficult communication, I left a smaller tip than I normally would. However, when I checked my bank account today, I noticed that the final amount charged to my card was higher than what I had authorized on the receipt. The difference was not large, and I disputed it through my bank, but for me this is about the principle. A server should never change the amount of a tip or charge a customer more than what the customer authorized. Because the experience had already been problematic from the beginning, I had a feeling something like this might happen, so I took photos of both receipts. First, we were charged for an item we never received, and then the final charge to my card was higher than the amount I actually authorized. We will still come back because we genuinely like this restaurant and have had many good experiences here. However, if Mauro M. is our server again, I will ask to be seated with someone else. Updated: The manager reached out to me, apologized, and assured me that they would take care of the issue, so I'm changing my rating to 5 stars. Bad situations can happen anywhere. What matters most is how a business responds, and I really appreciate that they listened to my concerns, took them seriously, and showed that they genuinely care about their customers.

The outside of the restaurant was giving industrial, dark vibes but the inside was very bright and sleek... the juxtaposition caught me off guard. There is ample seating inside. In terms of the service, our food arrived in a timely manner and our waiter was alright, a bit more laidback than I am used to but he got the job done. My friends and I ordered the Spicy Crunchy Roll, Coconut Shrimp Roll, Katsu Don, Okinomiyaki Fries, Karaage, and Matcha Green Tea Cheesecake. For our appetizers, both the Okinomiyaki Fries and Karaage were good! They were crispy to perfection. The Okinomiyaki Fries had a great umami taste, but I did not really enjoy the spicy mayo that came with the Karaage as it was a bit too tangy. My Spicy Crunchy Roll was very filling and flavorful, but not spicy. I tried dipping a bit into the soy sauce which tasted too high on sodium. I tried a bit of the Katsu Don (chicken) that my friend got and it was also delicious and came with a generous portion of chicken. The Matcha Green Tea Cheesecake tasted sweet but not too sweet and more like cheesecake than matcha, which I prefer. I will say upon checking my receipt, we were charged an extra $0.75 cents for the spicy mayo which we were not told of nor did we ask for it so... that is a bit weird. Overall, I think that this is a tasty spot for Japanese food! Lots of options that could appeal to most people. I would definitely come back to try their ramen. It could definitely be a spot for a casual or more intimate dining experience for people.
