    Truffle Crab*
    Eda X.

    Not sure if my experience nor exorbitant price for quality match with its Michelin recognition. I'd pass on sushi with this hospitality group.

    There are a lot of sushi/asian options so hard to choose - but HIGHLY recommend you try Prime Fish. It's mostly a sushi bar, probably only two tables and about 20 seats at the bar. The service is great, Silva really made the experience with her friendly attitude and attentive, but not overbearing service. Plenty of authentic sake and beer to choose from, and a smaller menu, but everything is excellent! You sit at the bar so you get to watch the four or five sushi, chefs work, which is an experience in itself! I travel a lot for work and this was one of the best experiences I have had in a while. I got the yellowtail crudo, which was very unique with excellent flavor. The Prime Tuna roll and Naruto rolls were also great. Highly recommend.

    The best Sushi in Charlotte! Service is always great. Nigiri & Sashimi are always very fresh and flavorful. Wouldn't go anywhere else.

    Prime Fish has a great menu. I liked their hashbrown bites, salmon roll, and some other rolls I split with my friends. We sat at the bar, and the seating was a little awkward. Someone spilled their water. Otherwise, the ambiance was cool. I liked the darker lighting for a Friday night out and thought the fish tasted fresh. I'll likely be back with friends or for a special occasion- it's a little pricey, so I'm not sure Prime Fish would be go to day-to-day.

    Excellent sushi!
    Angel F.

    Well, so far this has been the best sushi we've had in either of the Carolinas. We've been here twice, and we LOVE sushi, but a lot of the stuff out there isn't great quality or it's a lot of fluff; this place is small, quaint, with fresh seafood, great customer service and a decent selection. They are a bit on the pricier side, they didn't have a few of the options that I wanted (that I saw on Yelp), and I wish they had more vegetarian options (tempura vegetables, sonomono salad, cucumber salad, etc) but we definitely like this spot and intend to return.

    Black Truffle Salmon
    Britnique 'Lola' H.

    Prime fish is a quaint spot with great customer service. We started out with the truffle salmon which was really fresh and delicious. Then we had the hash brown crisp with spicy tuna which was a savory fusion dish, also very good. We got a total of 3 rolls. The 'No Name' was delicious, there was seared beef on top which gave the roll a warmness that I really enjoyed. Also, I couldn't get enough of the sweet potato crisps. The 'Sake Yaki' is their truffle roll and it was very flavorful and unique. I've never had truffle on a roll before and it did not disappoint. Lastly we had the 'Prime salmon' which was definitely salmon forward but yummy. I'd recommend this spot for sure. They give you fruit chews at the end, a delicious little treat.

    We've live in the area for two years now and have struggled to find good sushi within reasonable distance of our house. PF is about 35 minutes and well worth it. Their fish is imported from Japan and the quality is there by my standards. The nigiri and sashimi portions are a bit on the small size, and the prices are on the high side. I think that's a result of logistics and lack of competition in the area. So be it. The selection of quality fish is excellent, and the presentations were fantastic. The absolute best part for me was the Japanese uni. It was totally on point for flavor and texture. I had uni negiri style with quail egg yolk tucked in there, all wrapped in a band of nori seaweed. Phenomenal! My wife loves salmon roe. We had this and it was on par. If you are into rolls, they have a very creative, delicious selection. We are going to try some of those next time through. Decent selection of sakis and Japanese beer. Small space inside with patio outside. Service was very good.

    Super fresh, super delicious Sushi paired with great friendly service here. Their selections of Sushi is very incredible with various kind of fishes you will not see at other Sushi restaurants. The place is quite small. The Sushi bar dominated the center of the restaurant with very few tables inside and a very casual outdoor tables on the front. There is no cocktails, just beers and Sakes but a very impressive selection of Sake. The Ambience here is more of a neighborhood Sushi restaurant not an upscale vibe like Baku in Southpark but the prices are higher than Baku and I can't say that the Sushi that we had were more superior. You can go here without having to dress up so super casual. If you want a special occasion romantic outing, this is not the place. Overall, if you are close to here and would like to sample super fresh Sushi not available at other places in Charlotte , money is no object and you just want to wear tea shirt and jeans, give this place a try.

    Umami crunch roll
    Megan F.

    Delicious sushi Umami crunch roll! I loved the taste of the Umami crunch sushi and the sweet potato crunch on top was fantastic. I also liked their appetizers, we tried the shrimp dumplings and the crab Rangoon appetizers which came with sweet sauce. We sat at the bar and had excellent service.

    Nigiri Tasting*
    Lillian T.

    Fresh sushi! A bit pricey but worth the fresh fish and cozy vibes. The restaurant is a bit small so plan ahead. Quick service and plenty of sake/wine to choose from. 10/10

    Salmon belly nigiri
    Sarah D.

    Prime Fish is my ride or die sushi spot. They have the BEST sushi in Charlotte in my opinion. Everything is crafted perfectly. The restaurant itself is a bit small but nice. They've added a bunch of patio seating this year. Service is always fantastic and sit at the bar for an even closer look at the sushi preparation. Ask for the uni spoons if they have them. One if my favorites is the salmon belly nigiri. 10/10 every time!

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.

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.
