Sushi
Deniz K.

Is this the best sushi I've ever had in my life? No, but it's probably the cheapest sushi you can get in uptown Charlotte that still tastes good. Most of their maki rolls are ~$5 with their specialty rolls coming in around ~$10. I've gotten some of their hot items now and again but keep on coming back to the sushi here as my favorite item. My favorite items on the menu include the classic spicy tuna/ salmon maki roles, the Tiger roll, and the side salad (which is larger than the side salad you'd get at a normal sushi restaurant). I'd recommend ordering online and picking up since there isn't seating in the restaurant to dine-in. I've gotten takeout from here a number of times and haven't been disappointed yet!

Outside KO Sushi

I really like KO Sushi. The food here is really good and it's almost a hidden little gem off the street. They have a variety of options to choose from...sushi, nigiri, etc. and it always tastes fresh. It's really more of a pickup/takeout spot. Only 1-2 window seats available and pretty small inside. But very convenient location. There is a parking garage next to the building or find street parking and walk over, if you drive in for it. If already Uptown, just walk or scooter over. Place your order online through Yelp/Grubhub and it's ready fairly quickly. Doesn't take too long to do a walk-in order either. Definitely recommend trying it out for yourself!

Alasken Roll and V3 Roll
Charmaine F.

Glad to see KO sushi survived Covid! This is a great spot for quick to go sushi Uptown. It's near Jimmy John's and is across the street from the Kimpton. They don't really have indoor seating besides a couple chairs by the window as they primarily serve to go orders. You can order online and pick up or have it delivered through Grub Hub. I initially ordered the Alaskan Roll and V3 roll with brown rice and paid online but then a minute later I was sent a notification that brown rice was unavailable and was promptly refunded. I actually appreciated that as I feel like most places wouldn't have done that. The two rolls I got were solid - the Alaskan roll comes with smoked salmon so it a little saltier than raw salmon but was still good. V3 is your standard V3 too. This place isn't the absolute best sushi in Charlotte by any means but it gets the job done if you have a craving and need sushi fast!

Excellent sushi!! The very best I've had in Charlotte. I tried the Spicy Tina roll, the steamed shrimp shumai and a spicy tuna roll and loved all of it. I travel to Charlotte several times a year for business and this will be in my regular rotation going forward.

Spicy salmon Charlotte Combo
Katherine C.

Best bang for your buck can be found here! My boyfriend and I both ordered ahead on grub hub and got the Charlotte combo which comes w 4 piece Nigiri and 8 piece regular roll. I got the spicy tuna which was delicious and the meat was really good quality which is nice because I was skeptical it would be minced and mixed. He got the spicy salmon roll which was in fact minced but still good. The Nigiri was the best part because of its freshness and good quality thick cuts of meat. My only complaints are the lack of rice with the nigiri and the minced salmon but other than that we will definitely go back! Eating for two for under $25 is not bad and it's filling and delicious.

Favorite place to get sushi when in charlotte. Super quick service and really fresh ingredients. I got their salmon maki rolls and the shrimp steamed Gyoza and they were just delicious. I was in and out of the store in less than 10 mins and was picking up food (ordered on the spot). Highly recommending this place both for lunch and

Tempura
Gloria M.

I'm giving them a 4 star due to the wait for my order took a little longer then expected, I placed my order through the ritual app, I had the tempura roll. The food is good when I get a chance or I'm in the mood for sushi this is my first pick in uptown because is good and reasonable.

Hair in food

I order multiple times a week from this place. However tonight my sushi was covered in hair. It looked like someone combed their hair over my food. I'm so disgusted. Tried calling the restaurant and they won't answer the phone. Never ordering from here again.

Spicy salmon roll, philly roll (bottom)
Efa S.

This place has super cheap sushi and is an easy to go option uptown. The sushi quality is decent, it could be better but the prices reflect that. I'd continue going here to get a quick dinner.

Great rolls. My favorite is the Tiger roll. Good seaweed salad. Most of the girls I worked with frequented this place for lunch!

(7/2/26) The sushi was good. I had a combination of nigiri and hand rolls. My server was,…read moreunfortunately, forgettable. It turned out she was in training. She seemed to be going through the motions without any enthusiasm. Her trainer, Vale, was super attentive. I wish I could have tipped more, but the trainee kept me at 20%. The restaurant filled up quickly with people escaping the brutal heat outside. It was pretty quiet even though the restaurant filled up quickly.

Came here after a night of drinking with my sisters since it was very close…read more There was a bit of a wait but the staff was very friendly and we browsed the nearby stores while we waited. Our server seemed new and a bit confused a lot. We wanted a specific sake which she said she'd check to see if they were out of and when she came back she didn't tell us we were out of it just asked what we wanted again. We got a different sake which was DISGUSTING. Could barely drink it. After putting in our sushi order for AYCE, I let her know about my shellfish allergy and just asked that anything with lobster or crab be on a separate plate. She was very confused, apparently not knowing what shellfish was and went down the list of all fish asking what was safe.... One of my rolls was supposed to be a spicy salmon but came out just a regular salmon but I just ate it. The sushi itself was very good, I loved the abundance of special rolls they offer.

Pretty good size shopping plaza and it's a standalone building. Don't have to walk thru the plaza dealing with people. Park and walk right in. For me, service is what made it just an OK experience. It was a little late for dinner but the restaurant was still open. I understand the side work for closing as I've been in the field before but if you have a table, it should be a focus on the guests not the other way around. There was a mix up on the bill and the annoyance on her face seemed as if she felt it was my fault. But she did fix the issue almost seeming begrudgingly. I'll also mention that I had to flag down other staff for refills, as well as the bill. And you know how it goes - one thing is off and it makes for a forgettable experience. But I will say that dinner was fine. See pics. Can't complain about prices or portions but when I was annoyed, I was just eating to eat. I don't know anyone out here whose tastes for Sushi/Sashimi aligns with mine so it's hard to say whether I'd go back or not. First, obviously I don't live there and second, more places I'd probably want to try before I go back for service like I experienced that night. But it's probably not likely

One of the most thoughtful touches was arriving to find personalized menus printed with his name and a birthday message. It was such a small detail, but it made the evening feel truly special and set the tone for a memorable celebration. We chose the Curated Family Style Tour of Mizu for Two, and every course was beautifully prepared. The seared tuna was easily our favorite dish of the evening--absolutely outstanding and something we'll be talking about for a long time. The ambiance was perfect. Between the music, the energy of the restaurant, and the spectacular views, Mizu created an atmosphere that made the evening feel both elegant and welcoming. We absolutely plan to return. The only suggestion we would make is to consider adding a sweet Riesling bottle option to the wine selection, as it would be a wonderful complement to the dining experience. Thank you, Mizu, for helping make David's birthday so special. We can't wait to visit again!
