I was greeted and there was not a wait, so I looked at the menu and everything looked amazing. I tried the plum sake and it was really good. The waiter suggested Japanese Crispy Chicken, which was amazing. For the entree, I order the Katsu Curry Ramen. It was amazing!! Not spicy, but so full of flavor. Everything was filling, that I had to take it home for later! I can say that this restaurant is definitely a 10/10!!!

Highly recommend this place.

Annie Roll (crab salad, avocado, cucumber, topped with salmon, sliced lemon, ponzu and red tobiko…read more$13.51) and Sakura Roll (wrapped in pink soy paper, avocado, shrimp tempura, mango, lobster salad, spicy mayo and eel sauce $12.47) were ordered to-go and this was my first visit with them! Im dog/house sitting in the area and was craving sushi, but didnt wanna drive to Sushi Hana or Whitakers, so figured Id try a new spot! My total before tip was $30 and some change which I felt was a bit steep for two rolls, one of them a little more on the basic side. The Sakura roll is spicy as hell and think the lobster salad (inside) is whats adding to the spice, in addition to the spicy mayo (what I can normally handle). The Annie Roll is a simple salmon lemon roll, with red tobiko on top. I called my order in and by the time I got to the restaurant (about 10min) my order was ready! So I will say their prep is quick. Inside appears to have ample seating, with low lighting for a more intimate setting. It was really busy when I arrived (like 7:30ish) and seems a lot of locals like this place! Idk if Ill be going out of my way to come back here, or of Im in the area again. Staff was nice and welcoming which is always a plus! But I feel this id a bit more costly than what I feel the quality translates to.

Several things about this restaurant and not all is good. First, the food is expensive. They offer…read moreseveral types of ramen, which was good but overpriced. I personally have eaten there twice. I am familiar with Optimist Hall in Charlotte and it has so much more to offer. This location is in the bottom of a refurbished textile mill and is loud. Great concept as there are 4 restaurants and a coffee shop on the bottom floorThere is a brewery there and bar as well. This location n is located at the Sports and Events Center, which will draw crowds. You park in a parking deck which has some free hours but beware of where you park because you could be towed or charged a fee. Tuesday we spent almost an hour waiting on our order. Not good... There was a live band outside but there wasn't a crowd that picked orders up before ours. Really not worth the trip because of the price and parking. I think there is too much overhead and they are attempting to catch up with Optimist Hall. I will gladly travel to Charlotte for this environment as you have so much more to choose from.

Wowwowowowow!!! This place was PHENOMENAL from start to finish. We've been back twice since our…read morefirst time and it just keeps getting better. The staff and the vibe in the restaurant are both so chill and welcoming. I love how the servers have all been so knowledgeable of the menu; different types of broth, flavors, and how to recommend what to order!! I've gotten two spicy dishes and they have had a decent kick to them, so beware if you are cautious around spicy things. We love the gyoza appetizer with the pancake on top and edamame. And of course, the ramen is so amazing!! If you love ramen and gyoza and a great time, try Kazoku out!!

This place has been on my radar for a while, but I don't live close (probably a good thing because…read moreI would be here everyday). Saturday afternoon, made plans to stop in and check it out (off peak lunch time -2pm-ish). They were moderately busy... for good reason! Had the Black ramen and it was . Gone in 60 seconds but super flavorful and delicious!! We also had the fried shrimp shu mai with dipping sauce... piping hot and delicious!! Our server was super friendly and took care of us. Actually the entire staff really took care of us and you can tell in the food as well. A lot of love, passion, and great ingredients go into all their entire menu. Location wise, this place is definitely a "sleeper" place just because it's tucked back in Stonecrest across from the movie theater. The dining room is cozy but there are booths and tables.... Small outdoor dining area with a handful of tables too. Overall a great place to get great ramen! Just wished it was closer but again, I would be here daily getting ramen.

Fantastic food. The Zara Soba was as I remembered it in Japan. The Katsu Jyu was very good as well…read more It came with miso, salad, seaweed salad, and pickled cucumbers. Not a fan of the dressing on the salad. Service was prompt and friendly. They have seating at the bar, booths, tables, and a Japanese style table where you sit on cushions on the raised floor.

My husband and I are big fans of their Bento Boxes...so we returned for more. As always there was a…read moreline, but this is one of very few places in town that's worth the wait. We both had the Chicken Bento Boxes again...and we loved it. I've had Bento Boxes in dozens of Japanese restaurants, but this place offers such a perfect combination of items (everything we love!)...Tempura, Kaarage Chicken, Shumai, Seaweed Salad, Sushi Rolls, etc.etc. Plus, this bento box includes the salad and soup! Frankly, I wanna try other items on the menu, but I'm so addicted to this Bento Box, I just can't seem to tear away from it. My husband feels the same! Also tried their hot Sake...but think I prefer the cold version. BTW, I noticed some renovations. They now have darker Cherry Wood (?) flooring and cabinetry (behind the sushi station, that is). However, they still have some original light wood chairs and tables. Also, they separated some of the tables (Yay!)...so not as many "communal" tables like before. Anyway, think this is a good sign that this place plans to stay awhile longer!

Went to eat with my coworker who recommended this place as serving authentic Chinese cuisine. I…read morecould not pass up that opportunity as Asian cuisine is in my top three. It's very rare for me to do a review and not have pics to accompany it but from entrance to exit I don't think I liked my phone up once. Coworker's company was great but the food really made for a great experience. In addition to that having my coworker speak to the culture of the food made it all the more appreciated. I definitely can't say enough good words about the food and the service and the overall experience. Five stars is all I can give but if there were more this restaurant would well deserve it. Next time I'll have to get pics

Great authentic Chinese Hot Pot place! The food is fantastic and the service fast and efficient…read moreplus the atmosphere is cool! The prices are very reasonable for the quality of food served! I have eaten here many times and I have tried virtually everything on the menu. With that said, here is my take on it. Everything that I have tried has been delicious! For cold appetizers, I am a big fan of the Black Fungus W. Vinegar Sauce, Cold Spicy Sour Cucumber and the Spicy Beef Tendon. For hot appetizers, everyone raves about the Popcorn Chicken and I concur that it's very good! I really like the Frled Pork Gyoza too. For the main course, they have some rice dishes, but the main focus is the hot pot soups. They bring out a 300°F Stone bowl of broth (in an insulated pot holder) and the ingredients to put in it. You put the meat and lettuce in first, then the other ingredients and the noodles last then wait for "10 seconds"thus the name of the restaurant. I have tried all of the broths and they are all good depending on your tastes. The original broth is the bass broth. Then they add things to the other others to differentiate them. My favorites are the Tomato Soup (especially with Beef Flank) and Spicy Soup. If you like things VERY spicy, they can bring you some cut Thai peppers. The wait staff are patient are very helpful in guiding patrons. They understand that this is a new experience for them. They also pay attention to their customers eating habits. One time when I went in, they noticed that I added lots of chili peppers and chili oil to my food. That's when she said she could bring me some very hot fresh chili peppers. Charlotte is truly blessed to have so many great authentic Chinese body shops popping up all over town! I highly recommend this place! Cheers!
