I used to love this place. I don't know what happen during Covid. The last few times I have ordered my pick-up orders the steak and chicken have been over cooked. The chicken is dry. I order the steak medium rare and its cooked well over medium. Even the rice is dry. I tried to give them a chance but I am going to start looking for a new hibachi restaurant near by. read more

Coming from Los Angeles, CA and as a tourist in this city: The Hasaki Grill and Sushi is located amidst a very nice metropolitan scenery. From where I come from this place is slightly expensive when it comes to their sushi and the selection in limited. However, that doesn't mean that their selections are terrible!! I ordered the Philly Roll with avocado instead of cucumber. Simply because that is how Philly rolls are made back in LA, so just my preference. The Philly roll was okay to say the least; reason being was because it was made with smoked salmon instead of fresh salmon. The Panther roll and Yellowtail Nigiri Sushi were very tasty. I loved how the Yellowtail ever so gently melted away in my mouth and crumbled into small tasty/buttery bits. The panther roll excelled at giving me that crunch I wanted. After all is said and done I am satisfied with the customer service and the taste of the food (minus the smoked salmon taste in the Philly). My four star rating is due to the fact that the price was more of a 2 rather than a 1. If I knew that coming in I'd probably give a 5. I rarely write reviews but when I travel I like to leave a little mark. read more

I love this place the food was great and the staff was friendly and full Of jokes. I will be back read more

Lunch go to, especially for take out. Quick delicious hibachi lunches with your choice of protein, steamed broccoli and sweet carrots. The sauce is the best on the rice. Steak has the most flavor but chicken is good too, especially with the dipping sauce. Order at the counter, get a number and sit down or wait for the to go package. read more

Great food, great service. This is one of my favorite Japanese places in Charlotte. They give you plenty of food, it comes out pretty quick, white sauce is a difference maker. Never big crowds or anything. Great for a quick bite or take out. read more

I am new to Charlotte and a Sushi fanatic. Having gone to multiple sushi hotspots, I found that even though there are sushi restaurants everywhere, the quality and presentation for the most part were only so-so. THAT IS, UNTIL I FOUND HASAKI!! Every single roll I ordered, came out looking like a work of flawless art, even the sashimi!! Every single thing I've tasted has been top notch! I have been going every week and sometimes multiple times a week and I love trying new rolls. The Panther and Bank Roll are my favorites!! The sushi Chef Lolo is so talented and passionate about his line of work. Don't see what you like? Ask him, he'll make it happen. read more

See all

Great sushi and sashimi for reasonable prices. I've never had such fresh fish for $3 (that's for 2 pieces of sashimi). Get the yellowtail sashimi and chicken egg rolls; they were delicious! This was our first time visiting Charlotte, and Kathy was so nice to us and made great recommendations of places to go and things to do. I would have uploaded some pictures, but we ended up eating half of it before we remembered... no regrets. read more

Sticky menus. Loud. Sushi tasted pre-made. Rainbow roll, eel roll, and tempura roll all tasted the same, and not on a good way. Calamari was flavorless. Edamame was good. Wouldn't return, honestly even if it was free. read more

Great place to go for a good lunch. I go here at least once a week and it's always consistently good. Best quick hibachi in town

Do not come. Very salty and greasy food, it's a cheap Chinese takeout in disguise. Worst "Asian" food I've ever had.

Great for a quick hibachi lunch. They don't take Amex so that is a bummer for all the business travelers with corporate cards. Food is actually good also! read more

I tried this restaurant with a friend of mine who had been numerous times. Well I was blown away on my first visit!The sushi, the dumplings, the hibachi chicken, everything was amazing! Not to mention the top notch service. Ben took really good care of us. I can't wait to go back! read more

Great local spot for lunch. Quick and good. The workers are super nice as well! I had the steak and mushrooms and it was cooked perfect. Took less than 5 min to get the food as well. read more

The fried rice plate is awful. The carrots seem like they come from a can and the steak is low quality. The rice doesn't have any vegetables and is below average. You can pay more and get way better quality down the street at Red Ginger. read more

A lot of food for the money, but it's basically Panda Express. Very greasy. The fried rice tasted like there was something burnt in it. My whole family had stomach aches all night from the food. The staff was friendly and attentive, but loudly discussing their personal business and swearing. A very mediocre experience all around. read more

Let me just say even though they don't promote their sushi like they should it is amazing !!!!!!!!! Sooo fresh ! You can deff taste the difference in quality! Try the Bobcats roll ! read more

Decided to try for lunch today instead of my other usual place. I ordered the hibachi chicken with broccoli, fried rice and paid the extra .50 for zucchini and onions instead of sweet carrots. The food is bland. I've never had fried rice like this before, I wish I could've just ordered steamed brown rice. I had to add soy sauce to the rice to actually eat it and then added shrimp sauce to the entire meal for it to at least taste good. The shrimp sauce seemed a little more watered down than I'm use to. The service was good and place is well kept, but I won't be going back. read more

Great spot for an uptown lunch. If you're going during the week be prepared to wait if you get there right at noon. It gets CROWDED. The prices are good and the food is always quality. The portion sizes fluctuate which can be frustrating. If you enjoy hibachi this is a great place to go for a lunch. read more

I love this spot!! The whole staff is sweet and very accommodating!! Came in with a large party 40 minutes before they closed! Not only did they served us great tasting food they also stayed open an extra 30 minutes to let us eat our food in peace!! Now that's great customer service!! Their sushi is great, the udon soup is decent but the tempura is delicious!! read more

Been here a few times, love the way the take care of you quickly even when there is a crowd. Had one of the waiter insist on taking my food back because he needed to be sure it was hot and fresh!!! He told me, the cooks know he needs to see steam coming from that plate. They also give a nice sizeable portion too. read more

I rolled in here at 6:00PM on a Monday night. The server met me quickly and brought me my water. I had looked at the menu before going so I knew what I wanted. They have a sheet to check off what sushi you want. I got a crunchy shrimp roll and it was fantastic. I also got the 'normal' California roll and a spicy tuna roll. Very good, well rolled and fresh. Would defintely come back. read more

Went here for lunch today. The food exceeded my expectations. Had the hibachi chicken w/ zucchini. Very good. Made to order and very inexpensive for uptown lunch. I will definitely go back. read more

So yummy and fresh! Perfect addition to downtown :) a but small but what else do you expect in the area. Spring rolls are amazing!

Ate there yesterday for lunch. There weren't many places open uptown and my friend had mentioned this place just opened up. Decided to give it a try and I have to say it was pretty decent. First thing I noticed was that the decor was very nice. Although the menu sign needs some work. The wait staff was attentive and friendly, as they should be. I ordered the Hibachi Steak and Mushrooms and my friend ordered the Hibachi Chicken. I also ordered 3 pieces of Salmon Sashimi and the dragon roll. The steak was cooked pretty well. I tried a piece of my friends chicken, and it was a bit dry. The sashimi was fresh, and the dragon roll was very good. Surprisingly good actually. Overall I would rate this place 4 stars because pricing is very good. It's not as expensive as other hibachi restaurants, particularly since it's uptown. The hibachi is above average. The sushi is pretty exceptional. I would hit this place up again. read more

Worst hibachi I've ever had, including drive through places. It's edible, but that's about it. Food came out too quickly- there's no way it was made fresh. Rice dry, chicken overdone. read more

This little place just opened today, 8/29. I had the yellowtail nigiri, a spicy salmon handroll, and the dumplings (potstickers). First - day 1 opening pains were obvious - we came early to miss a crowd, and I'm glad we did. Line went to the door and a lot of folks walked out while waiting for the cashier to take orders. Give 'em time. The Yellowtail Nigiri was a mixed bag: fish was wonderfully fresh (1 point), the sushi chef did not use Wasabi (-1 point) and the rice was less than well cooked (-1 point). The handroll was similarly mixed: the ingredients were very tasty, but the seaweed wrap was stale and chewy. The thing that saved the day was the potstickers: I got the pork, and even though they were small, they were perfectly prepared and delicious. Servers were confused and a little lost, but that was opening day newness going on. They were extremely polite and checked on us frequently. Let's hope that stays the same over time I am being generous by giving 3 stars here. We'll go back in a few weeks and try again. I'm hoping they get it together, because I work in the building and it would be nice for this place not to suck. Updates to follow. read more

Great value and good food. A fairly healthy option nestled between burger joints and unaffordable high-end options. Shrimp sauce is mild and good on the beef! read more

This was by far the most disgusting sushi I have ever had. I ordered the volcano roll (somethings I order at every sushi restaurant because I always like it) and it was tiny and very rubbery. The guy at the table across from us found a hair in his fried rice. Ours was mostly pepper and no other seasonings. If you really want to try this place, only order the dumplings and edamame. They were the only edible things we had. read more

I was in need of some good ol' habachi and obligatory shrimp sauce since being without it for quite some time now living in LA. A good friend of mine took me here and everything we had was absolutely delicious! From the sushi rolls to the nigiri, to the chicken and shrimp habachi - you can't go wrong. Service was excellent as well. I so wish Hasaki was in LA - we'd be regulars for sure! ;) read more

This is my favorite Asian food spot downtown. Get the hibachi chicken!

This place is awesome for "authentic" Japanese food....served fast, but not fast food. To be uptown, the prices a very reasonable....even the sushi! The "all day" menu rocks!!! Not just lunch prices that end at 4....all day!! I like to substitute onions and zucchini for the carrots....but whats good is you can swap out broccoli and mushrooms on the entrees as well. Whatever you like! The sushi is very good. I like Rock-N-Roll and the Volcano Roll. Never had a bad experience....well, except when I see all the receipts I have laying around...lol!! read more

Food is good, a little expensive, particularly for lunch. Very crowded during lunch and there is a very long wait (hence three stars) and no seating. You're just sort of 'en masse' with a bunch of other business people waiting if you go for takeout. I still go on occasion. read more

stopped in for dinner, this is a really casual place but the food is good. I had the chicken teriyaki with broccoli, and it was very flavorful and the portion was large. And as mentioned before, the shrimp sauce is to die for. This is a great spot of an easy dinner and good habachi. read more

I was driving around town...searching for something different, new to try before going to a jazz concert last night...and remembered seeing Hasaki after going to Knights Theater. I quickly tuned into my reliable source for great reviews....Yelp and was excited to see the great reviews for Hasaki. So...I made a few u-turns...and turned a corner or two...and found offstreet parking within a half block of the restaurant. Entering...it was quiet....just a couple of patrons. The ambience was very nice. It had the comfortable feel of a nice place to eat. So...my quest began for a simple meal...an d a nice vino or beer....and what started out as a 5 star rating...began to go down fairly quickly. I took away a half star because the waiter had no knowledge of the specials...or what was the most popular items. Also, no knowledge of how dishes were prepared or what was included. So...had to wing it. Started with the spring rolls...and found that they were processed items out of freezer box! That meant another 1/2 star. Down to 4....could it get worse? I was hoping it would not. So, I started on my second appetizer...the jumbo fried shrimp tempura...OK...that was good! And as I searched for my pinot noir...it was not to be found. Nearly 10 mins after ordering....there was a challenge uncorking the bottle. OK...so the liquor license was just issued....aaaaaaahhhhh no excuses. (down to 3 stars) OK...on to the main entree.... Hibachi chicken with mushrooms....no...I had to have brocolli...something green. OK...the entree arrived.... and the chicken was very chewy...tough....and almost tasteless. I wish I could stay with 3...but down to 2 stars. Had to season with soy and Tabasco. It was quite a challenge getting through the meal. Fortunately....the other entree ordered was filling. The hibachi shrimp with rice! OK....so maybe on a Friday night....it was just difficult to get it all right! Perhaps I will try again.....sometime I will get back for sushi and add some stars back to this rating!!! read more

This place is close to my apartment and I frequently get take out sushi. It is good quality, nothing fancy but certainly does the job

I eat here all the time but we always get take out. So today was the first time I have actually dined in and you always forget how good food is when is right off the grill but I was definitely reminded today. Don't get me wrong their take out is great too! Fast service and good food. One of my favorite lunch spots uptown!!! read more

The absolute worst, can't even call this garbage food ! Boiled noodles with soy sauce from a factory with overcooked sliced chicken ( I think ) maybe rubber chicken from Walmart !! Do yourself a favor and eat the paper napkins !!! Wish I could give a no star.....if you like this crap you have no idea what good for ever was .... read more

I was visiting from Florida and a friend of mine recommended this place. It was so good my wife and I ate lunch there and had a wonderful experience. Not over priced and the service was very pleasant. If I lived up here I would go back over and over. read more

Had the chicken udon and spicy tuna roll. Both were good. Service was good. Mostly clean. I would recommend.

Love this place for quick hibachi! They are always so quick and the food has always been consistent! Best hibachi in CLT.
