Very good place to eat. Food was excellent, service very good as well. We didn't try the hibachi grill, but we will. They had $4 long island iced teas, which were very good. The sushi was very good and decently sized. read more

Avoid. Came in 4pm on a Sunday, the place was empty, the hostess made us wait for 10+minutes to be seated while taking 2 calls with online orders. Then another 10 min for the waiter to show up. Asked for our 5-6 rolls to be served in a boat ( first time experience for kids), the waiter went and checked with the chef, who refused(!). Apparently you need to order 8 rolls to be eligible for a fancy plate in an empty restaurant. Menus were sticky, place looked dirty, we decided to spend our $$$ elsewhere. Avoid, there are much better options in the area. read more

Great hibachi!! Eaten here multiple times & it never disappoints! My son has a seafood & shellfish allergy & they are always happy to cook his food separately with no issues. I have yet to try the sushi because we are stuck on the hibachi!! By the way, the have the best sauce that they serve with their hibachi!!! Pour it on EVERYTHING!!! It's the bomb, trust me! **UPDATE... I have been back here several times & have to say that I am highly disappointed. The service has gone way down. Very long wait times & lots of miscommunication between the server & chef. The chef did not want to be be there & the effort on his behalf to entertain us was not there. Also the food wasn't seasoned at all. They were clearly short on help & combined with poor food & service, we will def not be coming back any time soon. Huge bummer. read more

Dined here with a friend last night. We sat at a table separate from the hibachi grill as it was just the two of us and we didn't want to wait to be seated at the grill. We ordered the adult spilt hibachi vegetable which came with fried rice, noodles, soup, and salad. Let's just say I was not impressed! The food came out cold. We ordered hibachi and there was teriyaki sauce on top of our veggies. We asked our waiter and he ensured us that that was hibachi sauce. However, my friend and I were able to tell that it indeed was teriyaki sauce. The waiter did not offer to have us a new order made or rectify the fact that we did not care for the sauce on top. I did not appreciate that my food was lukewarm and verging on cold either. Based on my experience, I would not recommend dining here. read more

We have been coming here for four years . The service has been up and down . The bar tender Brighten is great . The owner is usually very accommodating. This past year they have a new waitress/ manager and the service has been down hill . I asked for a very small bowl of chicken fried rice instead of the soup and salad . Offered to pay extra . I told her to ask the owner . I watched her , she never asked and came ba k to us and said it was against policy and I would have to by a separate large bowl of chicken fried rice . Then my sashimi was brought out with spicy mayo that I can't eat . Now why would you loose a long time customer over a small bowl of chicken fried rice? Avoid this place . read more

Good sushi. We always order the tri color sushi dinner. Plenty of food and always fills me up. Comes with salad and soup. It has a tuna roll, and three pieces each of yellowtail, salmon and tuna. Nicely decorated plate. The shrimp in the picture were from my sons plate. He traded me those for a couple pieces of sushi. read more

They offer 30% off sushi rolls on Mondays, thought I would try them again. Rolls were good, much fresher, but rolled so loose you had to eat with a fork. Glad they are getting better and nice to have a discount day. Warning they close after 2:30 to reopen later for dinner. read more

Wow. I've never had worse service in my entire life. Went on a busy Friday night-we arrived before the restaurant filled and there was a wait. I had a bad feeling the first time our server came to the table. She looked as though she had not bathed, brushed her hair or washed her clothes, and unfortunately, her service was no better. The food wasn't bad, though my husband was very disappointed by his $21 chicken and shrimp hibachi combo. It was extremely small and really didn't resemble the portion sizes diners who sat at the hibachi bar received. Sushi was good and quick to arrive (funny, another server was the one to bring us the sushi!). The owner, or perhaps manager, walked by our table and asked if everyone was good I said no, it wasn't and he just kept walking. He didn't care what we said, I've simply went through the motions of pretending to care. Needless to say we will not return. read more

I went to Shia Asian bistro in lake Wylie and they were closed for lunch...and due to the kids being hungry we went here. Worst mistake I have made in a long time. The sushi was not great...(Shia has great sushi I would highly recommend them for sushi) the service was horrible...waitress came once to check on us for the entire hour we were there. And there were only two other people in the place. So I don't understand what she was doing. But utterly poor...poor...service. The place was great when they first opened, I have no clue what happened but this place is horrible. I would not recommend anyone to go there. Go to Shia Asian bistro..you won't be disappointed and their service is wonderful. read more

Great service and excellent sushi. Our waitress was wonderful and helped us decide on the perfect rolls for us. His fav: the jalapeño roll and mine was the one wrapped in cucumber (forgot the name) as I was looking for a lower carb option. We were very pleased with our experience! read more

Okay, I like really good sushi, and I appreciate authentic Japanese food and atmosphere, but I can also appreciate decent, tasty sushi - as long as it's served by friendly folks in a fun atmosphere. Cherry isn't very authentic or shi shi, but the owners have done a great job with decor and the staff is super-friendly. This is one of those Asian-mix kind of American-ized joints with "Japanese steakhouse" options on one side and regular seating on the other. It's bigger than you think inside, close to the water, and sports a really friendly casual outdoor deck I will enjoy next time I go. Yep, I'm gonna return here! We sat at the bar and received great service from two women who were fun to talk to and enthusiastic about the place. Cherry has a full bar (yes, with a blender), several sake options, and several Asian beers as well, including Kirin on tap (nice!), Sapporo and Asahi. The place definitely does not look thrown together, and they were well-staffed the night we went. Our servers stumbled on pronunciation of a few menu items and admitted to not yet trying some menu offerings, but we didn't care. If you're a snob about your Asian food, this place might not work for you. Relax! It's Lake Wylie, after all! :) We enjoyed agedashi tofu, seaweed salad, nigiri fatty tuna, eel rolls, and another combo roll. Everything was tasty and fresh and decently prepared. My husband was impressed at the temperature of the tuna, which was not icebox cold, like you get in many places. They have an efficient sushi prep team. The style of sushi is a bit smaller than some places I've seen, but not skimpy. Prices are in line with other restaurants in the area. This area is not overwhelming with great restaurant options, but hopefully Cherry is starting a new trend. read more

Had lunch here earlier today and sat outside on their deck, at a table with an umbrella and a beautiful view of the lake. Got the Lunch Bento Box and it was fabulous! So much food for a great price! Everything you see in the picture plus a side salad and a cup of soup for just $8.50. And they even fixed my sushi to accommodate for my allergies! Great place with friendly service; I will definitely go back! read more

My go to place in this general area is Fuji, Rivergate. However, we've been meaning to try Cherry for a while, and finally took the plunge. I like the vibe of the place. It has a couple of different areas, and we happened to get sit on the side by the bar. I liked that side, as it was smaller, and seemed less crowded that the larger dining area. They had seats at the bar, two high top tables I think, and several booths on this side. My daughter and I ordered Hibachi style steak, and it was delicious. My wife and other daughter ordered Sushi. They thought it was very good. I thought they had a wide selection of both. You can also order your typical Chinese dishes here, General Tso chicken, and other Chinese style dishes. They have a large selection of specialty drinks also. The staff was friendly, and although they were pretty busy, we did get a table with only about a 10 minute wait. Overall, a solid option in the Lake Wylie area. read more

We attempted to have dinner at Cherry tonight; they were booked and could not accommodate our party of 2. That's understandable however the manager/owner was extremely rude and unconcerned that we declined to eat at a regular table as our food last week was inedible when we did not eat at a hibachi table. He was unapologetic and frankly didn't care. We won't return and I will make sure to share the poor food experience I had last week and the horrendous customer service experience this week. Not waiting on a third strike; you're out! Incidentally, Japan 49 was amazing and will be our new spot!! read more

Pleasant atmosphere...extensive menu. LOVE the coconut shrimp! Excellent, knowledgable staff. Looking forward to dining on the deck when weather warms a bit. Sherry Lake Wylie read more

The absolute best Sushi Restaurant along with the absolute Staff! Food is always real good and the service is excellent!

I have eaten here twice since they have opened. I was hoping for a decent sushi place and they haven't disappointed as of yet! The inside is nice and the outside has a wooden deck for when the the weather warms up. Can't wait for the summer time date nights with my wife! Both visits I have tried sushi and something besides sushi off the menu. Everything so far has been super delicious! If you travel through Lake Wylie much, make sure you stop by. Most places seem to stumble out the gate when opening but this place has hit the ground running! I would definitely recommend the sushi and the Mama Mia roll to be exact! I hope this place maintains! read more

We moved from Southern California about 3 years ago and we had been on the look out for a good sushi restaurant. We were recommended to try this place out by an employee who worked at Japan 49, which is another very good sushi restaurant owned by the same person. We came here because it was closer to our house. When we walked in, it was split between the sushi side & hibachi side. We were served by Bryton, very friendly & knowledgeable about the sushi rolls. He gave great service as well. We've come back several times and we've sat at the sushi bar for most of those times. We loled sitting at the bar because Johnny, the sushi chef always gives us a free spicy crab like salad that's delicious. We usually order off the "secret menu," which we were turned on to by Bryton. We love the Cherry Blossom roll, the Hawiian roll and the Sweetheart roll. Those are our top picks. The Cowboy roll is very good too. Johnny is an amazing sushi chef and always makes us feel welcome, greeting us when we come in. read more

Above average sushi and decent menu selection beyond sushi and hibachi. They were pretty busy when we showed up and the service wasn't perfect. It took the bartender noticing our drinks hadn't been brought over to get them. This was after watching the drinks sit there for a good 10 minutes. The hostess and a few other employees seemed overwhelmed from the amount of people there. The lychee martini was okay but the Long Island ice tea was disgusting. Recommend sticking with beer or wine. Definitely planning on going back though to try their other dishes. read more

FOOD POISONING ***** First time here on a date Monday, I wake up the next day and me and my date had got food poisoning. Here it is 5 days later and I still have it. We both ate the seaweed salad and squid salad so between the two of them something got us sick. Would definitely not be coming here again and definitely telling people to beware of y'alls establishment. read more

Rainbow roll was delicious. Hibachi filet and shrimp was awesome. Soup was super tasty. Waiter was great. Attentive but not annoying. Eat here. Now. It's saying my review is too short but what else can I say. Delicious food. Period. read more

The hibachi is definitely better then any other option in Lake Wylie and if you don't want to wait at Fuji @ River Gate. Their sushi is very unimpressive and have gave it a couple chances. The overall service is always pretty good as long as you don't order anything from the bar. The best thing the have going for them is the lack of competition in the Lake Wylie area. read more

To make my review simple: The food is great. The service is terrible. If you are gonna get food from here, order takeout. My wife and I have been here twice, and each time the service has been terrible. The first time, we figured it was just a fluke and moved past it. Fast forward to now, the service is probably the worst we have ever received at a restaurant. It took a full hour to receive our full course of sushi. Sadly we couldn't even take the time to enjoy our food, as our waitress started rushing us through our main course to boxing up our food and getting the check. I'd understand if the place was packed, but it was basically us and one other party of people (around 8), with another hour and a half till it closed. To make matters worse, there were dirty dishes on multiple tables. I actually felt bad for the hibachi tables that were seated next to tables with dirty dishes that were there from when we arrived and from when we left (1 & 1/2 hours). Anecdotally, one of the points that just added insult to injury was the poor floor layout. While we previously sat at one of the few booths, this time, we got seated at one of the couple seats that were in the middle of the main dining area and the hibachi area. With that we got subjected to every single person passing by, with a waitress nearly hitting me in the head with one of the sushi boats. Lastly, one of the biggest frustrations during each time we have visited is the staff don't seem to know anything about their menu. Whether it's asking about sushi in the sushi meals, or beers they have available, staff seemed incapable of describing anything on the menu. I know this review seems harsh, but I actually want this restaurant to succeed. The food is already there, simple and plain. Service and experience need to be improved. I'm hoping to change my review in a few weeks when it's (hopefully) improved. read more

Friday nite @ 6:30 and that place is a GHOST TOWN. Got the Deluxe Sushi platter. Was very small, plain, and taste less. Had to send the "miso" soup back as it was just warm water and it was extra $. More waitstaff than customers--what a shame as it used to be GREAT & PACKED all the time... read more

Cherry - This is the "Deluxe" Sushi platter...deluxe??? - Sushi Bars Near Me - Lake Wylie, South Carolina

For a small Asian restaurant this is definitely a winner! I got the pad thai and it was delicious. I like the fact that they asked what heat level I preferred, as some people prefer a mild pad thai. My parents got the sushi here and they absolutely love it. One of the best sushi locations in Lake Wylie. read more

We have been loyal customers since Cherry opened. We went almost every single week for a long time. Went for Valentine's Day 2014, it was horrible experience. We waited 30+ minutes for drinks and the food took over an hour and half to arrive. When we complained to the manager, she did not act concerned or due much other than give us a quick sorry. Fast forward, new management and a pregnancy (couldn't eat sushi so we stayed away for awhile). We take our 5 month old baby in to the restaurant for dinner tonight. When we walked in, we were told there would be a 15 minute wait. No big deal. A family of 4 walks in right after us and they are sat immediately. A few minutes later, a couple walks in and they are sat immediately. When we inquired why this couple was at ahead of us, we were told that they couldn't accomodate our baby at a table, they needed an open bench. The couple seated ahead us were sat at a half bench, half chair seat. The hostess was extremely rude and acted like we were an inconvenience for her. We will not be back ever again. I've hears that Shia Asian Bistro is good so we'll give that a try. read more

We love this place! Especially on Monday night for discount sushi BUT wish the bathrooms were a little cleaner.

Today I tried the coconut chicken from the grill as something different. The lunch portion comes with a starter and soup and I had a house salad with shrimp sauce. For $7 is was a LOT of food. The coconut chicken was four strips of battered chicken with coconut in the crust served with a creamy sauce that I can only compare to honey mustard sauce. The chicken was well cooked and crispy, but other than the mild coconut flavor from the actual coconut, it was lacking in the coconut flavor. While the dish was good, I don't think I'd get it again because there are too many other things I like better at Cherry. read more

Very friendly service, consistently good sushi, fried rice and always drink specials. They also have lunch specials and hibachi grills. Conveniently located near the lake and a nice atmosphere for a casual dinner, without the load, crazies from T Bones!

Service was great .. Sushi mediocre but I am a bit of a sushi snob. I prefer Fuji and Red Ginger. The "Latin kiss roll" was very good. I just found most of the specialty rolls to be tempura fried or have crab stick so it was a little lower grade than I prefer. Nice place, very clean . Just not my number 1 choice. read more

If you're looking for a fun hibachi experience this is a good little place to check out. There is a bar on one side with tables on the other. The food is good, and the staff are friendly. The back of the room has an awesome full-wall art piece that I think really pulls together the experience. I gave three stars because the food and the hibachi don't shine as they should. It's pretty standard and basic. Also a questionable experience--friend was sick after hibachi with me one night where she had the shrimp and said it tasted weird. Bad shrimp or not cooked enough? Not sure. read more
