    Rainbow roll

    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.

    Out of town working and found this great spot for sushi! Fun atmosphere and a great menu. Staff was very friendly and the food was fantastic!

    Took almost an hour for my take-out order to be delivered to me. Looks pretty slammed, with front-of-house staff chit-chatting all day.

    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.

    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!

    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!

    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.

    Hot Momma Roll (top), Hot Papa Roll (middle), & OMG Roll.
    Elizabeth W.

    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!

    Chicken Teriyaki roll made to go

    Food was fresh as always. Ordered the chicken teriyaki rolls. Always a good go to place for sushi

    Nequel B.

    So delicious. Sat at the bar and the staff were very welcoming and chatted with me while I waited on my meal. It didn't take long to get my food and the restaurant is large, would recommend for small groups or a date night.

    Miso soup to go
    Mo S.

    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.

    Mango roll
    Pamela D.

    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.

    Red dragon roll (top left) and yellowtail roll (bottom right)

    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!

    Absolutely loved the decor in this restaurant . It was a Little slow at first for a Saturday but it quickly picked up . Sushi is fairly priced and it was delicious. Drinks are strong enough for one but definitely go for two !

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.

I was very disappointed. The empanadas and service were a saving grace, I ordered two orders of empanadas to go for my family. However they were so expensive. I paid $14 for 3.

Looked great but I can't eat spice at the moment so I can't rate it tho my friends did eat it all up. Ate the sushi rice bowl but w/o the spicy aioli sauce n asked for something else which was on the sweet side. Comforting meal, not overwhelming, just right. Edamame, cucumbers, yellow pickled daikon, tuna, salmon, avocado. A simple lunch was all I needed. 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.
