Sushi deals here were so good and the quality of the sushi was one of the best I have had. It was so delicious and always a great place to go with quick service and good venue. Definitely have to go back! read more

Food and service, DEFINITELY service, has gone WAY down hill. This used to be the best sushi place around. Barely saw waiter, had to walk to where they were making sushi after 20 mins of waiting to see him, and flagging down another waiter again to ask for fresh drink and then after over 30 mins food finally came out when it was only us and 3 other families in whole restaurant. They prioritize take outs from what we could tell and not who is in restaurant. Shrimp were almost non existent in the shrimp tempura roll. Just disappointing. read more

Yasssssss! I was looking for good sushi nearby and glad my son recommended this place. We ordered a ton and shared amongst the table so we all could try them. Nothing disappointed! Now the crab is imitation crab and I usually don't order rolls with imitation crab but I did so I can try them since they sounded really good. For appetizers we had 2 orders of the panko fried shrimp. The panko gives it a great crunch that tempura just wouldn't be able to. Highly recommend. The fried green tomatoes topped with smoked salmon.... A MUST ORDER! It was surprisingly tasty. Everything complimented each other and no bite was disappointing. For my rolls I ordered the OMG roll which was $3 off, it's tuna, salmon, imitation crab, cream cheese deep fried. It wasn't bad but wasn't my favorite. The size of the roll was wider than most. The other roll I got was the smokey mountain. It comes with imitation crab, topped with smoked salmon tempura flakes, eel sauce. That was my first time having a roll with smoked salmon. It instantly became my favorite alongside the appetizers. I'd definitely order that again. I wish I could get it without the imitation crab or with another fish option. I'll have to check out the menu again on my next visit. We shared the pineapple sake and it's served cold and in a bottle. It's thick. read more

The food was horrible, not fresh! Sushi was the worst. The service was slow and no one was in there. Trust me, i will not be back nor will i recommend this place to anyone. read more

The food is outstanding!! Musi soup was in pont with big pieces of seaweed and tofu. The sushi nigiri was so fresh and so big and so perfect. The rolls were fresh and inventive, especially the orange dragon and the citrus twist. The rainbow roll was good and the OMG was just fine. I OMGed over the raw fish, more. My waiter Matt was awesome. Great recommendations! (and no that is not his picture in the painting on the wall). If I am ever in Charlotte again I would absolutely go back to this place. read more

Disorganized and Unprofessional Service I called at 1:30 on 01/01/2025 to order a sashimi deluxe platter for pickup. The person on the phone struggled to understand my order, repeatedly asking me to repeat it despite sashimi being on their menu. After several clarifications, they finally confirmed my order and told me it would be ready in 20 minutes. When I arrived 25 minutes later, the staff was mostly standing around chit-chatting, with very few customers in the restaurant. I was told my order wasn't ready yet, so I sat and waited. Five minutes later, they brought out multiple orders, including mine, but prioritized checking out other customers first. I ended up waiting another 20 minutes, only for a server to finally ask, "Are you waiting for something?" Turns out my order had been sitting there the entire time. The staff's lack of communication and disregard for customers' time was infuriating. A simple takeout order took nearly an hour due to inefficiency and inattentive service. The food may be decent, but the service is unacceptably poor. read more

Came here for my son's birthday lunch. We were a group of 5. There is a sign posted asking for grace due to being short staffed. Service was kind and efficient. Sushi rolls were tasty. Lots of variety on the menu. Hibachi was ok. Stick with the sushi here. They also have a full bar. Everything seemed clean including the restroom. Try this place out! read more

This is my go to spot in Charlotte. Love love love the sushi, the vibes , and the service. The servers here are super sweet !! I'm in this location at minimum once a week read more

The Aesthetic: Creative, modern sushi spot with a variety of interesting and classic rolls. I found my new favorite sushi place, I had a perfect meal here. The staff was also very kind and attentive, 5 stars! The Price: It's a good price since it's a little out of the main city, and you get large rolls so there's a high value. The Parking: It's a huge lot in a strip mall, so you shouldn't have any trouble finding a spot. We went on a busy Saturday night and found a close spot. My Order: The Black Widow Roll has spicy tuna, cilantro, basil and dried spices (added cream cheese), and it was one of the best rolls I've had. I also ordered an asparagus roll, which was classic. There is so much on the menu to try, I'm going to keep coming back. The Conclusion: If you enjoy fun sushi rolls, this is it! read more

Was looking for a sushi place in the University area and found Sushi Queen on Yelp. There were alot of rave reviews and I love sushi so off I went. This place is very unassuming from the outside, but it is huge inside. Service was goo. Our waiter was attentive but not over bearing. He provided a lot of good options to try. I had the rainbow roll and eel roll as they are my goto's. Good portions on the rolls and the fish and eel were very fresh. My only complaint was the eel sauce as it was very sweet. Almost too sweet. Overall I enjoyed my meal and would return when I am back in the area. read more

OMG..The staff....the food..such a great experience!! I went in tonight to grab a bite to eat after a long work day and while my son was at at a birthday party. I hated even going in at 8:10 knowing they were going to close at 8:30. I looked at the menu ahead of time in the parking lot so I could order, get my food and be out before closing (if possible but was certain with my mind made up and the quick turnaround on Sushi). I told the server...I'm sorry it is late..I will make this quick since you are closing soon. She said.."honey...you are not late and we were waiting for you to come in." How incredibly kind and thoughtful! My experience was so good.. especially coming from a past waitress/restaurant trainer that moved in to HR for Corporate America. All of the staff was attentive. I had the Philly Roll and the Veggie Egg Rolls...which if you like a good Philly roll...I don't think I have ever had one this good. The salmon, cream cheese and avocado were fresh and filling. I didn't think I could finish it but couldn't leave it behind either so I did. The veggie egg rolls were good but weren't my favorite...however..I'm not even mad at that because they were still good. Asian Egg and Spring Rolls are like Deviled Eggs for the South. We all have preferences, they taste good but we know our favorites based on particular mayos, relish or not, mustards, etc. Its a delicate dish which is assuming for us all. Such as which I consider this. I appreciate the variance. Thank you for being such a warm and welcoming addition to my Friday night. I'll be back for your awesome service and Sushi..you are Queens! read more

We were honestly surprised with how amazing this place looked tucked into shopping center strip. The interior was spacious, clean and efficient. We were seated immediately and our waitress was incredibly quick to get our orders in. We ordered the Fried Green Tomato appetizer with smoked salmon and cream cheese and ate it before I could think to photograph it. The three sushi rolls we ordered were phenomenal. Perfectly spicy and layered on the Hot Momma roll. The Hot Papa Roll was creamy and crunchy. The OMG Roll had a ton of great flavor and texture! We will definitely revisit! read more

This is one of my go-to restaurants for sushi. It's always consistantly fresh and delicious. They have hibachi and other items, but I always get sushi. I have dined in, and the service was great. Usually, there is no waiting and I'm seated immediately and receive my food in a decent amount of time. Several different times, I have tried to order from their website, and online ordering is not available. When that happens, you have to order from a 3rd party site, doordash pickup does not have a fee but the other online ordering options listed have a 3% fee to order on their site for Sushi Queen. Tonight, I ordered take out. I ordered the seaweed salad, spicy salmon, spicy tuna rolls and miso soup. The miso is put in a very tiny to go cup. You don't get as much as you would if you dine in. It was, however, hot and tasty. The rolls were made to order and really good. The seaweed salad was good, but I've had better. I do recommend. read more

I went here with the hopes of finding a cooked sushi roll. I ordered what was under cooked rolls, but it wasn't cooked. The sushi was still good, as was the service (they let you know it will take at least 30 min before the food comes out). My favorite thing was the fried green tomatoes because they were delicious. read more

Great atmosphere and amazing sushi. I would say the best Sushi in charlotte NC with no doubt!

This place was a total discovery thanks to Yelp! I had a severe craving for sushi but didn't want to drive across town for it (uh, hello gas prices) so I fired up the ol' faithful Yelp app and put in sushi near me. lt pulled up Sushi Queen and I decided to check it out to solely due to the proximity. I was pleasantly surprised to find a sushi place that is nearby and actually good! Sushi Queen is located in a strip mall right across the street from Regal Starlight theater and next to a Walmart. I walked in and placed my order at the bar since it was to-go. I placed my order and was told a 20-25 min wait which wasn't an issue since I had a podcast episode ready to go and I popped in Walmart. However, next time I will call ahead for pick up. The interior is quite large and the tables are well-spaced so you won't feel like you're eating on top of another like you do at other restaurants. They do have a full-service bar so you can enjoy a beer or cocktail with your meal if you dine-in. I went with the red dragon and yellowtail roll and was pleased with both. Super filling and tasted fresh. Again, this was a great discovery thanks to Yelp and I'll be back! read more

Fantastic sushi and service! I wish I took photos. Had the seared albacore sashimi, 3 nice cuts of tasty tuna. 3 rolls, the Red Devil, Brown Dragon, and White Tiger, all amazing. Again, great cuts of fish on top and in the rolls, came out timely and so fresh. Absolutely delicious and totally worth it! Found our new sushi spot and can't wait to go back! read more

Been coming here since high school. It ALWAYS hits the spot. Highly recommend the salmon belly nigiri!

Stopped in for a quick lunch after the gym and Sushi Queen did not disappoint! They have signs on the door letting you know that they are short staffed and experiencing some increases in wait times. There are also a couple of photo backgrounds and some amazing art on the walls. The sushi rolls were amazing. My friend and I chose the spring rolls as an appetizer and the Sexy Dragon, OMG, and Fantasy rolls as our entrees. Each roll was filling and the flavor combinations were very well balanced. I'll definitely add this place to my sushi list. read more

Completely inedible. Ordered takeout: salmon sashimi knife cuts were too huge to even eat, tuna sashimi had zero taste but texture was like spongy foam. Spicy yellowtail roll was not spicy, but white mayonnaise and cucumber and almost zero fish. Spent almost 20 bucks and literally threw it out. read more

Very quality sushi here! Lots of amazing options to choose from, yet everything tastes fresh and unique. I really love the ambience here as well and staff is usually very friendly and helpful when you have a question about something. I became a Sushi Queen fan when they were located by the big Walmart on 29!! It was just a little hole in the wall place at that time, but had some of the best sushi I think I've ever had!!! I have since followed to this location, and it's much more spacious and elegant now. Sushi is still the bomb!!!! Can't wait to come back! read more

The Sushi Queen on N. Tryon is a true chem! I was invited here for a bday lunch and I can say I was very pleased. The space is absolutely lovely inside and clean. There is room for large and small parties and the walls are littered with amazing artwork and pictures. We were seated as soon as we entered which I give kudos to the hostess for that. Now yes, it was 12 Noon, but I'm sure you'll get this service every time you visit as the staff is very attentive. There are two menus, one for food and the other contained beverages (liquor) with loads of options of everyone. I didn't have a drink this go around, but I did try the sushi options. There were several "Dragon" rolls that were calling my name, so I tried the Red Dragon, the Crab Dragon and the Sexy Dragon which were all AMAZING!!! Each one had its own individual flavor and style. I will most defiantly visit again soon and I suggest you try it for your own. read more

Was craving sushi and after some research, I landed on Sushi Queen. Very spacious and a good amount of people dining on an early Sunday evening. Service was spotty, I had to keep asking for stuff, like wasabi and a soy sauce dish after they handed me my first order. More soda. Chopsticks. The menu is very mixed with lots of options and a wide variety. Started with the seaweed salad, which for the price, it was a good amount and good. I then decided on the seared salmon plate, and probably should've ordered two orders as it was quite tasty. The tiger roll then came out, and the sauce on it is unbelievably spicy. I wish I knew as I would've asked to not have it. I was also getting really full so I couldn't finish it. Shortly after, I had the worst stomach ache and regretted eating here pretty quickly. read more

We tried sushi queen when visiting Charlotte. The first impression was the awesome ambiance. The neon sign, murals on the wall and half-curtains created a nice comfortable atmosphere. We got some sushi rolls and Hawaiian mimosas for brunch. They were delicious and well made. The waitress was also super punctual and checked in with us often enough. We will surely visit again when we are in the area read more

Heard a lot of good things about this place. Stopped by to try it out, and it did not disappoint. Great friendly service and excellent food! The place is clean and art work on the wall is awesome! The owners even came out to greet us! Very high quality sushi and superb presentation. I will definitely come back again. Highly recommended. read more

I only had two complaints. 1 - it took an hour from the moment we ordered to when we got our food and then within 15 min, the waitress was trying to give us our ticket. 2 - the sushi rice was really sweet. Why did we wait so long without complaining? We quickly noticed that there was only waitress when we walked in and she was split between 10 tables. The reviews made us want to stay and see it out. As long as quality was not sacrificed, it would be worth the wait. To be honest we got close to being "hangry" but she kept the drinks filled and tried her absolute best to take care of us while we waited. When the food cake out, everything was as expected from the Yelp reviews. I wasn't a fan of the Salmon Belly, but that was my fault. I didn't read that it was "seared" until after I had ordered it. I thought it was raw. But my son that it was amazing. We really loved the OMG and Sexy Dragon rolls the best. The Chirashi was good but the rice was a little too sweet. But you mainly get the Chirashi for the fish.. which was on point. There was even grilled eel, which my husband ate happily since I personally don't like Unagi (I know! I know! I'm weird, BUT did not let it go to waste.) He loved it. So worth the wait if you are sitting down was feels like longer than normal. The place is pretty clean. They ask that you wear masks. Bathrooms are ok. Good for families or couples. Plenty of seating options plus to go is available. Staff is friendly even while they were slammed and balls to the wall. Happy that quality was not sacrificed. read more

Placed my order online and it was ready when I arrived. Cute interior, they had one of those trendy grass wall decorations. The sushi wasn't terrible but also you pay for what you get and this was around $18. The miso soup was a little off as well . If I were to go again I'd probably just stick with a roll instead of sashimi or nigiri read more

My girlfriend and I had been wanting to try this place out for awhile and I'm so happy we finally did! I do want to say that they seem to have a really good to-go service going on right now and I am really happy with the COVID measures put into place. We really felt like we had plenty of space to eat without worry or fear. We got some hibachi, some veggie tempura and a few different sushi rolls. I got the Fire Roll and was very excited because I never get to try a fancy roll with the fact that I don't eat shellfish and this roll was half off this night! It was so delicious and everyone should give it a try! The hibachi steak was delicious as well! Give them a try! I know we will be going back again soon... read more

Do yourself a favor and just go to rivers buffet. The sushi quality is okay and similar to the buffet. Had the sushi deluxe and sashimi deluxe and none of the pieces were any good. While eating, my wife and I were questioning if we should eat anymore just in case it will make us sick. Even the soy sauce was bad! read more

I really wanted to give this restaurant 5 stars. I am in town for a month and absolutely love sushi and hibachi. I would have been a regular had the food and service been better. I just left very disappointed. My sushi was ok. I was starving! I had to remove the cucumber from my roll due to it tasting old and slimmy. But with it removed tasted good. I ordered hibachi and was super excited! After ordering I did not see my server again. Poof! Disappeared.. hence why my hibachi was cold to the touch and taste. SMH! I was so hungry.. I am sorry but for my server to disappear and to receive cold food was not exactly the best experience. (The larger parties had much better service) oh well! I had my sushi fix and will find a attentive restaurant next sushi craving. read more
