Located in a strip mall a bit of a trek from home, we found this little cafe. It was small, and lively and crowded. There was a line several groups deep to get a table on a Tuesday afternoon. We were seated more quickly than expected. The menu is huge. There is sushi, but there is so much more as well. The miso soup was nice, hot, and tasty. The fish for the sushi rolls was fresh and the portions were good sized. The bento boxes had a good variety and portion size, but my main dish was not my favorite. I would go again and probably stick to ordering sushi.

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Absolutely perfect! I got the BBQ Salmon and it was under $12, came with chicken, crab cheese rangoons, two slices of salmon, a salad, and a side of rice. AMAZING and I am not a big fan of fish, I am going to be coming back frequently

Easily the best sushi in Charlotte, I’m disappointed that it took me so long to get here! Super busy, tiny place, but still so accommodating. The sushi chef came over and chatted once they found out we had a birthday, and the other owner came over during her service and gave a big hug and well wishes (while it was SO busy!) Can’t say enough good things about the experience, especially after some dud dining experiences. Ordered dumplings, as well as the Big Boss roll and the Double Taste roll. Friends ordered a few vegetarian rolls as well as a bento box and everything was delicious.
