Such a delicious poke bowl spot. I love that it has other things such as hibachi entrees and appetizers so if you do want something more than just a poke bowl, you have many options. I chose the 2-protein bowl and it was delicious. Lota of toppings to choose from and it all tasted super fresh. They have plenty of seating to choose from and all the employees were super friendly and efficient. Definitely planning on returning and trying other options. read more

Kaizoku - Poke Near Me - Indian Trail, North Carolina

I love risk takers and I love Asian food. This means I was destined to like Kaizoku and overall, they were a decent experience. Located in a safe part of a lively area in Indian Trail, Kaizoku has some interesting food options for the adventurous type. Finally, they have a fairly broad menu which means there's a little something for everyone. Upon entering, the restaurant is very clean and inviting but somewhat devoid of Asian culture, which I enjoy as it gives character. That said the staff are very friendly and pretty fast to fill orders. Lets continue on to the star of the show, the food. I hated the egg rolls, they tasted frozen and generic. The Crab Rangoons were generic too, but a comforting generic so if you like them, I'd advise ordering them. The Hibachi... I'm somewhat tired of the stretch of the original meaning. Besides the text book definition, I grew up with knowing it's where a Japanese chef cooked in front of you on a flat top. It was more experience than anything but I swore it made the food taste better. So, when I ordered Hibachi for my kids I sampled it and it was horrible, again generic. My kids were on the fence about it, giving no real praise or critique. My main desire to visit was based on two things - I'd never had a Sushi Burrito before and after seeing it on TV I really wanted to try it and sushi as the selection in town is pretty bad. First up the Poke Bowl. I'll admit, Poke bowls aren't really my thing. For some reason, they just don't go together very well. My bowl has sushi rice, Tuna, carrots, green onion, avocado and sesame seeds with Ponzu sauce. I just think the textures don't meld well in my mouth. I know some people swear by them, but not me. Also, the Tuna wasn't the greatest quality and the Ponzu wasn't traditional. As for the Sushi Burrito, the hype on it is false as well. I got the Kaizoku Burrito and I found the amount of seaweed wrapping to overpower the whole experience. Besides the Tuna the rest of the ingredients were very fresh but I don't like how it comes together. So, I not holding the items combinations against Kaizoku but the ingredients. Finally please note their sushi roll selections are very limited. Overall, Kaioku is a generic experience with a sushi burrito thrown-in as an attempt to give the customers something unexpected. The food is average but for the overwhelming most part fresh. For the Poke bowl and Sushi burrito I don't want to sound as if that's bad, it's just not for me. I encourage anyone to try it for themselves. However stay away from the items I mentioned like Egg rolls, Hibachi and Tuna. read more

I have been to this place twice since moving to the Monroe area. My husband and I really love their food. This time we got the chicken hibachi and the shrimp hibachi. Previously, I got the salmon teriyaki which was great. All the flavors are amazing. My favorite are their carrots and of course we love their Yum Yum sauce. Unfortunately, this time we did not receive the Yum Yum sauce in our order so next time we will make sure to check before leaving. We normally order and pick up, so the service seems fine we go and the place is nice. I would recommend if you haven't already. read more

I really liked the visit I had here. Came on a late Sunday afternoon. They have a nice variety on their menu. Prices are very low, which had me skeptical, but the food was excellent. Clean inside. And a steady flow of patrons which means the locals know they are good. Certainly would come back if in the area. read more

This review is super late. I stopped by on Sunday, 11-13-23, to grab dinner while exploring the area. I ordered the spicy hibachi shrimp with carrots and other mixed vegetables (zucchini, mushrooms, onions, and broccoli. The food was cooked to order but I did not have to wait long. My order was to go and was still hot when I got home. It was quiet while I was there with a few people entering right before I left. The restaurant was clean. read more

Quite disappointed in my experience at Kaizoku! My husband and I were driving in the area and craved some poke. We went to order online and they force you to tip 20% as well as an added convenience charge. Ordering online should not cost extra, it's actually helpful to the restaurant. So we waited to order at the restaurant because why pay extra when I have to pick it up anyways. We order our bowls and go to check out and I see "spicy mayo contain peanut butter"!!! Mhmmm what?!? Since when?? Spicy Mayo is typically Siraccha and mayonnaise. Not sure how or why peanut butter would be added. As someone with a SEVERE PEANUT ALLERGY I was floored by this. Also it was posted after making the item so I had to have them remake the item. This is just so risky with how common peanut allergies are! I mean I am very careful but never would have thought that I needed to be cautious of this sauce! Now I'll also put this accept side for a moment and talk about the quality of food. The ingredients that were offered were strange. Never seen broccoli or big baby carrots in a poke bowl. I felt like the quality wasn't as good as most of the poke I get and like I said I eat it once a week! I definitely wouldn't return and would strongly urge that they change they way they display this important information or for that matter change the sauce so it's safe! read more

Kaizoku - WARNING: PEANUT BUTTER IN SPICY MAYO!! - Poke Near Me - Indian Trail, North Carolina

Love their sushi burrito. Great flavor!! Food comes out quick, and overall pleasant experience. I tried the hibachi but personally I didn't love it. I always just go back for the sushi burrito and some appetizers. read more

Coconut shrimp batter was soggy not crisp! Ended up removing and eating without batter. I don't think the oil was hot enough!

Updated to 5 stars because when I returned they took my suggestion and changed to recyclable bowls and the food was even better than the last visit! You MUST try this place!! read more

Poke bowl was delicious, kids loved their teriyaki chicken and sesame chicken meals. Crab Rangoon was mostly cream cheese, very little crab. Would be nice if they would offer a kid sized portion of the sesame chicken and teriyaki chicken. read more

Kaizoku - Poke Bowl and Crab Rangoon - Poke Near Me - Indian Trail, North Carolina

This is the 5th new Poké place I've tried in charlotte and it's definitely in my top 3. The food was very fresh and very tasty. There are several options for those that don't do Poké. My daughter got sesame chicken and liked it a lot. Very good egg roll. There's lots of seating and several TVs. The sushi rice was good and easy to eat with chop sticks. I got Poké sauce and wasabi mayo both were very good. They were probably my favorites from any of the Charlotte Poké places. read more

The food taste and quality is easily 4.5 stars. However they do not use any standard measure. So --portion size varies significantly. When we order Poke bowls, sometimes they do like 1/2 of the spoon full for each protein or less. Like is it 6-7 pieces? What is the standard we can count on? It is not inexpensive. And therefore a treat for us. We are noticing the bowls less and less full each time. It would be more ok if it did not seem like server eyeballing it. It would not be difficult to get whatever sized scoop for serving. 2 scoops rice. Every time. Each protein one scoop each. Each vegetable one scoop. It is too random. Even with the teriyaki and hibachi- it is a significant inconsistency in amount per person per visit. read more

Coming into such a beautiful & clean environment with amazingly friendly staff just really helped to pull together an unforgettable experience. The foods beautifully prepared with the flavors you receive from each bite keeping your taste buds on the ready for a good surprise. read more

This place had great service! It was so fast! It was a beautiful interior, and alot cheaper than I thought it would be! I got a chicken hibachi, with 2 drinks for 14.95, that's cheaper than I get Boba for! I wish I got some pictures of the place but trust me it was gorgeous. read more

I always get the vegetable hibachi, and spring rolls, they are always delicious. The food comes out in a timely manner, they are very generous with sauces, and not once has my order been messed up. Would definitely recommend read more

The fried rice is super bland and has no flavor. The sushi tasted old and was super fishy, and it didn't have fish in it... the kids nuggets and fries had so much oil in them. I do not recommend this place. We threw away 90% of our food. Save your money and go somewhere else. read more

After reading the reviews we decided to give it a try. A big mistake. After ordering 80 bucks worth of food we had 2 people get sick. Narrowed it down to the Hibachi chicken. Unfortunate for all of us. We had to call out due to food poisoning. Others had the beef and it was ok but we will not be a repeat customer. read more

I'm from out of town and yelped a place to get some sushi and it brought me here. They have a poke bar and a larger Japanese cuisine menu but a limited sushi menu (maybe 5 items). You order at the counter and they bring you your food. I asked if they could make a salmon avo roll and she said yes. All rolls are just under $10. I didn't have high expectations but when I tasted the sushi I was pleasantly surprised. The fried roll was fresh and lightly fried. Thin, crispy, and warm. The salmon was also good. I would probably come again. read more

Kaizoku - Salmon and avocado(not on menu but they'll make it) and the fried spicy tuna - Poke Near Me - Indian Trail, North Carolina

Great service and food! We order take out on a regular basis with no issues. Highly recommend this restaurant.

We just discovered this place. The poke bowl was huge and delicious , the hibachi steak was top notch. Very impressed

Love a good poke and This was no exception. In what i would call a poke desert this is a refreshing change from the usual japanese places around.. The shumai was very nice however not a fan of deep fried gyoza, not used to that preparation and to me it took away from the flavor. Disappointed there was no miso soup and a first for me in a sushi shop, found a couple bones. Overall a win and will be in the rotation. read more

Great New local Hibachi place. It's kinda a fast casual Hibachi so you can get in and out fast. When all the other places have a long line try some healthy alternative here! read more

Very good food, the service is fast and simple as well no need to worry about getting back up after you got your order done as they will bring it to you! The ambiance in this restaurant is usually quiet unless it's rush hour as well as soft and calming music in the background. This is the my favorite go to restaurant when it comes down to a sushi burrito. read more

The hibachi was terrible. Shrimp was way overcooked and chewy, and the broccoli was practically raw and very stemmy. Never had hibachi served in a pool of some kind of garlic/teriyaki type sauce before, and don't care to ever have it that way again. We won't be back. read more

Nice & friendly staff. However, the food I ordered was not that great. I tried the beef fried rice & im sorry to say but the beef bites tasted like liver mixed with steak. The sushi rolls were big and hard to eat in one bite. read more

They also have traditional cooked food as well and a kids menu. read more

Ong this place smacks, I get the shrimp fried rice every time and I'm never disappointed. As I'm writing this I'm eating some, I coughed and now my phone is covered in fried rice. But I'm not mad about it. My only gripe is that extra shrimp is like $7 but I can't really complain because of the quality and size of the shrimp. read more

I order Kaizoku's poke bowls a lot- usually online and I was very disappointed when I went inside to see that the protein scoops are barely half a spoon. One full and then 2 barely half scoops. I'm paying an extra 3$ for barely half a scoop? That seems ridiculous. Their food is very good but I am a little pissed. Probably won't be getting the 3 protein bowls anymore read more

We went here for the first time a week ago while our parents were visiting. It's more of a express Japanese restaurant as you order at the cashier, refill your own drinks, and then you get your food at the table. I got the taste the angel roll, spring rolls, and chicken teriyaki with fried rice. I really enjoyed the sushi roll as it was huge portion. I could have just had that as a meal. The chicken was well seasoned and the vegetables were good. I took off a star because the spring roll had a weird taste to it that I had never had before and did not like it. I would not order that again, also did not like the fried rice as it was kinda mushy. I ordered here again today through door dash Kaizoku roll and shumai. The roll was very delicious but the shumai tasted too watery I think it might have been over steamed. I will definitely come back again as I enjoyed the sushi from here but I will not order anything else. read more

If you have not been to Kaizoku in Indian Trail you are missing out. One of our favorite go to restaurants in the area. Their poke bowls are some of the best I've had & if you like calamari try the Tako Yaki appetizer. They also serve teriyaki, hibachi & sushi rolls. Food is always fresh & delicious and their staff could not be any more accommodating. Highly recommend! read more
