The staff has always been incredibly friendly, and we've even had the same waiter a couple of times now. He's consistently attentive, welcoming, and makes sure everything comes out quickly. Service has honestly been great every visit. The restaurant itself is adorable. I love the futuristic waiting pods when you first walk in, and the oversized sushi chef statues are the cutest touch. The whole restaurant has a fun, modern atmosphere that's perfect for date night, dinner with friends, or just satisfying a serious sushi craving. We always order the AYCE menu, and it never disappoints. Everything comes out consistently fresh, beautifully presented, and you can definitely tell they take pride in the quality. We started with appetizers: -Shrimp Lollipops were perfectly crispy on the outside while the shrimp stayed juicy and tender inside. Even though they're fried, the breading doesn't overpower the shrimp at all. -Takoyaki had a crispy golden exterior with a soft, savory center filled with octopus. They're an acquired taste if you've never had them before, but they're worth trying. -Fried Calamari was exactly what you want. Crispy, lightly seasoned, and tender instead of rubbery. -And of course... we ordered two servings of Crab Rangoon because one is never enough! They're always hot, creamy and pair perfectly with the sweet chili dipping sauce. Now for my absolute favorite... The Carpaccio is honestly one of the best things. I could probably eat three plates of it if they didn't limit it to one order per person. The fish is sliced incredibly thin, melts in your mouth, and tastes unbelievably fresh. Each variety has its own toppings that perfectly complement the fish, while the citrusy ponzu sauce ties everything together with a bright, savory finish. We ordered: -Salmon Carpaccio: Buttery salmon topped with crispy fried onions and scallions that add a great crunch. -White Tuna Carpaccio: Delicate, silky, and incredibly clean tasting with tobiko adding the perfect little pop of texture. -Yellowtail Jalapeño, and ponzu for a refreshing kick. Then came the sushi rolls... Every roll has its own personality, which is something I really appreciate. Some are sweet, others spicy, some rich and savory, and they're all put together really well without one ingredient overpowering the rest. Our favoites included: -Godzilla Roll: crispy shrimp tempura paired with creamy avocado and finished with rich eel sauce for a satisfying combination of crunch and sweetness. -Fire Dragon Roll: packed with flavor and topped with spicy sauce that brings just enough heat without overwhelming the fresh fish. -Spicy 2 in 1 Roll: Our ultimate favorite, great balance of fresh fish, creamy sauces, and spice. If you like rolls with a little kick, this one's an easy recommendation. -Volcano Roll: one of the richer rolls on the menu with warm baked seafood and creamy sauces layered over the top. Comfort food in sushi form. -Eel Avocado Roll: simple but always my delicious choice. The buttery avocado pairs perfectly with the sweet, smoky eel. -Crazy Tuna Roll: fresh tuna with just enough spice to keep every bite interesting without being overpowering. Less likely a fan of: -Mango Tango Roll: the fresh mango added a bright sweetness that worked surprisingly well with the sushi. The only thing I wasn't crazy about was the tomato since I didn't think it added much, but that's personal preference. Even after all that... we somehow still made room for dessert! Dessert: -The Mochi Ice Cream is always fun. I love that they offer multiple flavors like green tea and mango. The chewy rice dough on the outside with the smooth, cold ice cream center creates the perfect balance of textures and isn't overly sweet. -The Green Tea Ice Cream has a strong matcha flavor that green tea lovers will definitely appreciate. -The Tempura Oreo reminded me of the deep-fried Oreo at our State Fair. The crispy tempura batter gives it a warm, doughy exterior while the Oreo inside becomes soft, chocolatey, and almost cake-like. It's indulgent and best shared. -I had to mention the Macarons because they're one of my favorite desserts. I love that Sushi Taku rotates different flavors throughout the year, so there's usually something new to try each visit. Between the consistently fresh sushi, excellent service, fun atmosphere, creative menu, and incredible value for AYCE, it's easy to see why this has become our tradition every time I fly into Charlotte. It can be tough getting on the waitlist during peak dinner hours since it's such a popular spot, but we've always been able to get a table by waiting a little while, or being added to their online waitlist. Every visit reminds me why I keep coming back, and I already know it'll be my first dinner stop the next time I'm in town.

I am so glad I was able to fit visiting this spot into my plans while in the city!…read more I discovered Uchi via a YouTube short by influencer Veganzinga. She noted that Uchi Austin is her all time favorite restaurant. Let's just say I understand why Uchi!! Uchi Charlotte is fairly new. It is located in a new building that honestly feels different than the rest of the neighborhood. It's modern, while the existing neighborhood is eclectic. There must be a transitioning happening off Centeal Ave! My party of 4 grabbed a reservation on the same day for 7:30pm. Please not that Uchi is the restaurant located downstairs. There is also Uchiba, which is located in the rooftop of the same building. They do have different menus so I would highly suggest checking out both! We were greeted and seated promptly. The service here is top tier! Our server was friendly and offered input when we register it on the menu items. My favorite items include the following: Brussel sprouts Edamame Walu Walu Banana cake I don't know how they do it, but when I tell you the flavors stand out in all the dishes. I really felt like I was eating at a Michelin star restaurant. After having this dining experience I will be visiting the other locations!. Austin is on my list and looking forward to the Nashville location opening! I will be in Washington in a few months and will be stopping at the Uchi location there! I HIGHLY recommend this spot! It is now my new favorite !! If I am in Charlotte you can be sure to find me at Uchi!

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.

Luckily, I used the complimentary valet offered by Yama. My friend and I had a reservation and were promptly seated. We ordered the brussel sprouts to start and they were fantastic with a sweet glaze on top. I tried a few specialty roles: the kyuri, the HM, and Totoro. I was amazed at the presentation of these roles. You can just tell by the color of the fish, the tuna and salmon in particular, that this is really fresh sushi. It was so delicious! I also had a mocktail which was very refreshing. I appreciated the two lychees served on top.

They set up two rows of long tables for us, one with a bench style by the window and other sides had chairs. We ordered the Yakitori platters to start spread out across the tables. My favorite was the asparagus and the beef. We then did mix ordering of sushi's and sides to share family style. I like the Toro sushi, spicy tuna and seaweed salad. They had a nice selection of drinks as well. I ordered a creamy sake to share amongst the table. I wish I remembered the name, but it was in a white bottle, for which they brought a bottle chiller out for. Reserving with the restaurant was easy. Called in and they sent a Open Table link for the reservation. They checked on reservation a couple days out and also personally called to ensure reservation again. It was nice to do something different, for this group of people. For 5 people it was the first time trying sushi and having the yakitori options allowed them to try new things. It was also nice, as some people had deitary restrictions in the group, and Saku was able to work around everyone's preferences. Thank you for wonderful service and amazing food!

I had the rainbow roll and some other salmon forward rolls which were very good. Each roll is 8 pieces so you do have to think about what you order so you don't leave any extras which could be charged. They have big booths available which worked well for our family with kids. Service was excellent and attentive. You place each order here rather than having a piece of paper to mark down what you want like other places. I am subtracting a star because the inside of the restaurant had a funny smell. My husband described it as a moldy smell. I thought it smelled like they were trying to clean up a dirty bathroom and so it smelled like something dirty being masked by cleaning product. It seems like most of their business is through take out orders. The resultant was pretty empty.

My husband got the jumbo shrimp and really liked his food too. The portion size was amazing without costing an arm and leg, and we still had leftovers for later in the evening. I will definitely be going back here to try more of their menu and to see how the dine in experience is! Perfect quick and delicious hibachi spot!

We ordered the hibachi chicken and hibachi…read moreshrimp & steak plates, and unfortunately, everything tasted pretty bland--there just wasn't much flavor in the meats or the rice. To make things worse, the initial plates came out cold (both mine and my date's) which was very disappointing. My remade plate did come out hot, but by then the experience was already affected. I also didn't like that it's $5 extra for more rice, even if you're just trying to substitute it for the veggies. That felt unnecessary. The fried calamari tasted like it came straight out of a frozen box, and instead of squid rings, it was more like straight pieces of squid, which wasn't what I expected. To top it off, I found what looked like a white hair in my food and had to get my plate remade. The server was very nice and handled it well, which I appreciated, but the overall food quality just didn't make up for it. As someone who eats hibachi often, I'd say this spot needs to add more flavor and seasoning to really stand out. I'd probably pass on this hibachi spot.
