Ordered takeout directly from the website for pickup, this was much cheaper than ordering through a service for pickup for delivery. Ordered sushi, ramen, scallion pancakes, hibachi steak, crab rangoons. It was edible but flavor was off. My husband thought the hibachi steak was ok. The price was good but I didn't really care for the food and wouldn't order again. read more

I don't expect too much out of here, maybe that's why I'm rating it so high. But I've had them many times & have enjoyed it each time. I always get the hibachi so that's all my review is based off of. I have gotten the shrimp, chicken, steak, and various variations of them and all pretty good hibachi. You can choose from white rice, noodles, fried rice, different proteins, & an assortment of veggies. Comes with a delicious yum yum/shrimp sauce. Only thing I need with it is spice! The portions are fairly large as well so you get a pretty good deal. read more

The food is pretty good but not our favorite spot as far as flavor goes. Tends to be more on the bland side.

Not sure if this is the same as the location that was uptown years ago but I gave it a try after my son said it was really good. I've tried the veggie hibachi(broccoli, mushrooms, onions, and zucchini, the salmon hibachi which comes with rice, noodles, carrots, or egg roll. I also tried the Tiger roll(crabmeat salad topped with shrimp) and jack & Cheryl roll(shrimp, avocado, cucumber, topped with spicy kani and jalapeño & spicy mayo. All really good! read more

Great coupon online if you want a combination of things. Hibachi can be a hit or miss. Recently, I order steak (medium cook) and chicken with a spring roll, onion, mushroom, sweet carrots, white rice -"also with fried gyoza. There was so much liquid in my takeout bag which thank god didn't spill out! My plate also had a lot of water still. I only enjoyed the gyoza and the spring roll. The steak was cooked well done instead. Chicken disintegrated and tasted odd like maybe it was cooked before ordering. Bland. I wish I had only veggies because I ate around the meat. The BOGO sushi seems like a good deal but the cost is high depending on what you order and not much taste. *I don't think they plan on having indoor dining ever again.* read more

I personally do not eat seafood and sometimes they do not separate vegetable rolls from seafood. I am however obsessed with udon and they have that option seemingly only for their noodle soups.

Tin Tin is is great sushi at an affordable cost. They offer a daily special of buy 1 get one free on the sushi ( pickup only). This place always has a line out the door especially in the evenings. No Dine-Inside option. They do charge extra for shrimp sauce however it is a nice size. I haven't found a better place in the University Area. read more

Discovered this tucked away gem while craving hibachi one night. I was pleasantly surprised with the amount of food options provided with the hibachi dinners. You're able to choose from 4 sides and as you can see, they are not stingy. Their online ordering is easy and the food was ready once I arrived. We also ordered crab Rangoon which were tasty. We only wish more crab filling was stuffed in the shell. We are cancelling our old hibachi place and deeming TinTin our new go-to! I look forward to trying their sushi next. read more

I literally don't care whatever anyone else says, Tin Tin is the best, hands down. When my husband and I lived in CLT, we lived less than 10 minutes away, so we ate here A LOT. Our favorites: Volcano salad Jack and Cheryl roll Tiger roll Hibachi chicken Spring rolls Not only is the food amazing, but you can't beat their specials. They used to not do their BOGO sushi special to go, but since they're only to go now, they still offer it!! Seriously, if you're thinking about trying it, do it! read more

Have to try again - we got delivered so it was soggy instead of crispy so will have to eat at restaurant. Saddest part was they forgot the sauce for my scallion pancakes. But so excited to find another place that has these!!! read more

Walked into a line in at the register blocking the entrance way. Stood there for about 6 minutes before reaching the front of the register just to let them know where waiting to be seated. Once we got seated it took around another 5 minutes to get a drink. The waitress took our orders without writing them down, then continued to confirm our order as she brought out our drinks and appetizers. Would have been easier if she would have written it down. Sushi was wonderful, and the volcano salad was probably my favorite. I ordered the stir fry shrimp udon noodle. Large portion for the whole family. All in all, great portions of food for good price. read more

Still on lockdown?! C'mon open a kiosk if you don't want people to eat there. Are you telling me you can't be open? I had the lunchtime hibachi chicken with broccoli and fried rice. The food was good and a great value. $8 with a modest tip. I guess if you know they're take out only ahead of time then great. I did not and had no where to eat as I was in a large truck. It's bad enough the flu came from there why would you want to perpetuate the effects of it years down the road? read more

we arrived 15 minutes before closing time. sign said open but they had long put up food and would not serve us. the posted hours are meaningless. we drove from across town to be disappointe. read more

The food didn't take too long, but it wasn't something I would order again. The sushi was very bland and the portion size for the hibachi was tiny. I understand why this place isn't very expensive, because you basically get what you pay for. If you're craving sushi and want something in between grocery store sushi and fancy sushi, this is it. read more

I love the specials at Tin Tin. They have BOGO sushi and a hibachi chicken/shrimp meal that comes with rice and 2 sides. They're perfect for when you're not too sure what you want so you just choose both! I've been here multiple times but on my last visit I ordered the spicy tuna roll, shiki roll which has shrimp tempura inside, and the hibachi shrimp with rice, sweet carrots & zucchini all for $20! You get so much food that you'll definitely have leftovers. read more

Delicious I love this place it never disappoints me except they open up at 4 and I be hungry

First time ordering from here via DoorDash and I was not disappointed. I ordered 2 things. Were both awesome? No. Was 1 phenomenal? Yes. Even the non-phenom one wasn't horrible, just not great according to my taste. I ordered the Fuji San Salad which was PHENOMENAL. Total surprise to me that this would be the thing that knocked my socks off, but it was. Crispy, expertly julienned cucumbers, assorted fish and spicy mayo. So flavorful and fresh. 2nd thing I ordered was the Hawaiian Roll. It was good, but the torched Escolar tasted very fishy, so it came across as "not fresh". I'm sure it was, and I can't say I've had escolar, so probably my bad. But...the rest was tasty so I feel like I just made a bad pick for my taste and I will try another choice. I can't wait for my next order! read more

They have the most delicious sushi!! And the buy 1 get one allows you to Try a variety of sushi in one visit. I highly recommend.

I was unimpressed with our service tonight. It took us 5-10 minutes before even asking what we'd like to drink. I understand if the server is busy but the host could have at least helped her out and gotten our drinks while she was in the weeds. Instead no one offered anything. By the time they came to our table we were ready to order but she needed more time to attend her other tables. She was hardly at our table and I needed to ask another server for help and he didn't seem like he wanted to help us much either. At this point I was just annoyed and ready to get our food. Finally, near the end was when we got any attention. read more

We visited this mockery of a store tonight. We have been before. Recently they started lowering their portions. OK. I called once and was told that many customers had made the same complaint and that I should just check my food before I leave so that they could address. But no problems since. BUT tonight, I did notice the smaller portion. I inquired and this male, asian man (so you know which one he is)loud talked me, pointing his finger and sounding like a crazy person (he was the manager). "We can't hire good people so we cannot watch the portions!" That size is OK...he yells at ME...the customer. He continues to talk under his breath looking disheveled....hmmm. But I had already paid and the cashier was rude too. The food here is ehhh however, the small portions make it not worth it at all. But the disrespectful management and service is what should steer you away too. read more

This restaurant has gone downhill since Covid. Prior to Covid, this was a family favorite. We were literally here several times a week. Now that it's take out only, the service has gotten worse, the food portions are smaller and the food just isn't the same. read more

Been an happy customer for over 6 yrs but today led me to say this place is unprofessional , rude no customer service at all. So today as you can see I order hibachi special with rice & noodles .. ended up getting home and seeing I had double rice which I wasn't upset about I just wanted noodles so I called them and ELAINE answers and tell me fine come back to the store because she notice the mistake. When I get to the store ELAINE offers me a cup of noodles I politely declined and told her could she just remake the ORDER FRESH! since I left the store and came back so told me she couldn't do that for me so as of today I WILL NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE TO ANYONE .. HANDLED THE SITUATION TERRIBLE! read more

Tin Tin Cafe - The Correct Order !!! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

This is a really difficult review to write. We have been customers at Tin Tin since the day they opened. It has been our favorite sushi dive since that first visit. We'd visit regularly and got to know the servers well. We used to live nearby but almost 4 years ago moved nearly 30 minutes away. We maintained our loyalty post Covid when they reopened as takeout only. Despite having sushi locally, we still have always chosen to make the drive for Tin Tin takeout, with the food still fresh after the 30 min drive back home. Our kids have always loved the hibachi special while we gorge on abundant sushi. We've always raved about TinTin to everyone, giving high recommendation. That all being said, we ordered takeout tonight. What a disappointment. Things have changed dramatically. What was once amazing and abundant dive bar sushi has turned in to fast-food minimal quality and quantity sushi at best. The "deep fried" sushi rolls were barely breaded, 1/2 the size they used to be, and 80% rice with a peek of actual filling, and because deep fried with little to no batter, were also miserably chewy. The other rolls 1/2 of what they used to be. Even the hibachi special has lowered quality with chewy chicken and mushy broccoli. There used to be so much noodle in the container it would barely close; kid heaven for this house. Now, however? We could literally count the number of noodles on our hands. . All the staff seen were completely different than previous visits; didn't see one regular, familiar face. Is there a different sushi chef? New management? What gives, TinTin???? This is the last time we order takeout from here of our usual 6 specialty rolls, hibachi dinners and other additional sides until there is some sort of redemption post that things are back the way they used to be. Such a disappointment. read more

The food is great however the lady that takes the order is always rude and dismissive. I have encountered her several times and it's never a good experience. I will not be supporting this establishment any longer. Also LOOK AT THEIR INSPECTION RATE FOR 10/2023!! read more

Do they deserve 4 stars, no, but I still feel bad with 3. 3.5 seems right. Its your nothing special cheap Japanse Habachi kind of spot. A dime a dozen. They weren't very busy, but its an interesting location and I was a little later than the average lunch time. FYI, there is another similar spot .5 mile away. But this place has much nicer decor. They tried and the food wasn't bad. It wasn't super awesome that the lady behind the register was talking on a cell phone and not really paying me attention when I tried to order, but hey, I was on hold on a cell phone as well. I guess its just the way we live these days. The Hibachi combo for less than $5 gets 4-5 stars for value. That's the only reason I gave them a chance instead of Bojangles though. Rice, a veggie and a spring roll. A great deal. The chicken was kind of pale and didnt' have a good sear to it, but still tasted fine and had decent texture. It is what it is. Would I go hear if looking for a nice meal..... Probably not. Would I give it another shot relying on value.... Will do. read more

BOGO Sushi. WHY NOT?! This was maybe my 3rd time sitting in. Service was good, I would definitely come back as the sushi is made to order. I ordered wine with my meal, they close at 10 but she gave it to me anyway. I know something that turned me off was while we were eating a random lady who was not our server came and snatched our soy sauces off our table I guess since it was the end of the night, but we are eating. That was rude so that's what knocks them to a 4 for me. read more

I ordered from doordash, and unfortunately I could tell that the sushi had been sitting out for more than just an hour or so. The shrimp roll smelled off & the rice around the shrimp was tinted yellow. I also ordered the steak dinner rare, but i received pieces of steak that were not cooked at all with large chunks of raw fat attached to it. I am totally down for a cool rare steak, but there were multiple pieces that were entirely raw with absolutely no evidence of it touching the grill at all. read more
