But I thought I would give it a try based on the reviews I read. They did not disappoint. I had the specialty tuna roll and it was amazing. Great presentation , great flavor and plenty to eat for $24 bucks. Everything seemed fresh and well above average. I recommend!

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!

Order: steak bento box (dining room), lobster hibachi with rice, salmon with rice, chicken with rice, and Filet mignon with noodles. (grill) The bento box came with shumai, California roll, soup or salad and rice and veggies. I like the addition of the shumai (never been to a place that offered that). Everything was cooked perfectly. The steak was juicy, the veggies were crispy yet soft enough. For my birthday, we had an entertaining hibachi chef, Juan; he was interactive and funny. It was my kids' first time doing hibachi and I loved that he interacted with them and made it enjoyable for them too. I requested for all the food to be cooked with less salt and he understood the assignment. Everything was seasoned and cooked perfectly! My favorite were the noodles! As a finale, they turned the restaurant into a mini club; playing a birthday mix over the speakers and bringing out a deep fried cheesecake lit with a sparkler. It was a great birthday lunch!

On the first three visits, we had a few sushi rolls split between us on each visit. On our most recent visit, I tried the House Sushi (8 pieces of sushi and 1 roll chosen by the chef). Thumbs up on all points. We have only been on the dining room side and have yet to try the hibachi side though the room appears to be full of laughter and smiles whenever we look in. Fuji is a great local find and I would readily recommend for couples or groups.

It's served slightly warm with a tiny jalapeno and a dash of chili hot sauce on each piece. I got the Summer roll ($16) and loved it. It was shrimp tempura, lobster salad, mango slices, and chili sauce. I also got the lychee vodka sake tini ($15) and it was delicious. The other 2 gals loved their rolls also. Our waiter was good about checking on us, but I did have to flag him down to get regular soy sauce. Only light soy sauce is available on the table. Free Parking is in a garage directly behind the restaurant. Definitely will return !

If I had known Konnichiwa's rating was a 90.0 before walking in, I probably would have opted out --…read morebut I had already been seated and ordered a glass of wine, so I decided to give it a fair chance. 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 had the best time here kinda late at night last Saturday. We got there at about 10:24pm and were…read morereally just happy they were open. The host greeted us and was super nice, she did mention the kitchen closes at 10:50 but that we were more than welcome to come inside just that we should order soon. I really appreciated that!! Our server was nice and attentive and I made sure to order quickly. I was starving anyway so this was all perfect, honestly lol. I tried the sora roll which is: spicy yellowtail and cucumber, topped with yellowtail and avocado, crispy shallots, masago, spring onions, and yuzu miso reduction. THIS WAS FANTASTIC!!!!!!!! I probably could've eaten two. I will 100% be back very soon to have this again lol. I also tried their brussel sprouts and really loved those too! They were cooked and flavored perfectly. I also really love the ambiance of this place. It was perfectly dime lit and it just looks soooooooo nice inside. The decor, the bar, everything was super nice. This is a great date night spot for sure!!!!

The only access problem was the parking as the parking lane is very narrow. I don't know if there's additional parking for Yama but I drive a truck so I had to back out of the parking entrance. Just drove around the corner onto a Main Street, not South Blvd, n viola there was street parking on the side, no signs for time limits. All good. It was for a late lunch with visiting friends. Atmosphere for this meetup made us stay later than we should have bc I think we stayed til around 4:30pm? Lunch service finished maybe around 2:30-2:45? Felt badly for the person at the reception but he said it was no problem. I hv bn to Yama in Waverly a couple of times n now Yama Loso. Both serve a modern twist to Asian dishes. I love traditional Japanese meals but I also enjoy twists in recipes once in a while. Spicy edamame for starters. 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.
