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!

I was coming home after days of traveling and asked my husband to pick a place to eat not too far…read morefrom the airport because I was going to be starving once I touched down. So his choice was here. Google directions suck they took us around the back to the parking garage for the 2nd level and since we have never been here before it took us a few minutes to figure out how to get down to the first level. When we entered there was a waiter taking an order and no one else on the floor so we had a little bit to get seated even though there were only two other parties in the restaurant. We were able to sit wherever we wanted so I sat with a view of the screen with the replay of the Brazil FIFA game on. My husband wanted the unagi don but didn't order because the price seemed high. The table next to us all ordered bowls and the serving size was huge so my husband regretted it. We order takoyaki, spicy wings, and 3 rolls Godzilla, Hadouken, and Master Roshi. The wings had amazing flavor but were not spicy. Takoyaki was flavorful and the perfect temperature. I get a lot of takoyaki that is entirely too hot and have to crack them open to cool before eating them. My husband did not enjoy the Godzilla roll he said the topping was too much and didn't add to the flavor. But enjoyed the other two. I enjoyed all three rolls the flavor was fresh and very little need for soy sauce fine without it. If we are ever in Charlotte with time to eat I would stop here again.

Maybe the best sushi I have had in Charlotte!…read more I came here on a Saturday night and wow I have not been to LoSo in a while but the parking was tough. Luckily, I used the complimentary valet offered by Yama. My friend and I had a reservation and were promptly seated. We ordered the brussel sprouts to start and they were fantastic with a sweet glaze on top. I tried a few specialty roles: the kyuri, the HM, and Totoro. I was amazed at the presentation of these roles. You can just tell by the color of the fish, the tuna and salmon in particular, that this is really fresh sushi. It was so delicious! I also had a mocktail which was very refreshing. I appreciated the two lychees served on top.

We had never had any problems here until our most recent visit, when our server, Mauro M., took care of our table. We placed our order, and after our regular rolls were brought out, I asked whether he remembered that we had also ordered a specialty roll. He said yes, but later came back and told us that it was no longer available and that they no longer make it. That itself was not a big deal -- we could have simply ordered something else. What bothered me was that he did not tell us until I specifically asked about it. If I had forgotten, we might have just kept waiting for something that was never coming. When we received the check, the total was also higher than it should have been because the specialty roll that we never received was still included. He eventually brought us a corrected check. Because of the poor service and difficult communication, I left a smaller tip than I normally would. However, when I checked my bank account today, I noticed that the final amount charged to my card was higher than what I had authorized on the receipt. The difference was not large, and I disputed it through my bank, but for me this is about the principle. A server should never change the amount of a tip or charge a customer more than what the customer authorized. Because the experience had already been problematic from the beginning, I had a feeling something like this might happen, so I took photos of both receipts. First, we were charged for an item we never received, and then the final charge to my card was higher than the amount I actually authorized. We will still come back because we genuinely like this restaurant and have had many good experiences here. However, if Mauro M. is our server again, I will ask to be seated with someone else. Updated: The manager reached out to me, apologized, and assured me that they would take care of the issue, so I'm changing my rating to 5 stars. Bad situations can happen anywhere. What matters most is how a business responds, and I really appreciate that they listened to my concerns, took them seriously, and showed that they genuinely care about their customers.
