Well deserved 5 star review! Headed through the state on a…read moreroad trip and decided we wanted to find some good sushi and New Zealand Cafe did not disappoint! Service: we pulled up to a packed parking lot and people waiting outside! I called and asked about the wait, 45 minutes (we drove an hour to get here so i was starving and didnt want to wait afain) so we opted for take out, the young lady who answered was patient as it was my first time eating here I asked for recommendations told her a few rolls I was interested in and she guided accordingly. Which honestly was a breath of fresh air to have such excellent customer service seeing how pa ked it was. Their thai hot and sour soup was the freshest in flavor I have ever had in the states. The lemon grass really stood out and I loved that! I would have preferred it didnt have the little chicken bits in it but im sure it helps make the broth, I would order this again. Rolls: big boss, lobster, Island roll. Typically im not a cucumber roll go too kind of gal but I am glad I got it, if youre looking for something light and refreshing this is it! The other two rolls were excellent, rolled tightly, loose rolls are a huge pet peeve of mine, and perfect bite sizes. I dont think there's a roll on this menu that I wouldnt love. The intent was to nibble as we went down the road but we devoured it In about 5 minutes flat right there in the parking lot after the first bite. Only thing I would have traded was the ginger this was too light tasting for me I am more of a fan of the white ginger not the pink ginger. But I can see why restaurants choose a lighter tasting ginger.

We went early due to learning the wait for a table and also sushi can be long. We arrived at about…read more5:00 and were seated in under 20 minutes. The menu is vast! I'm so grateful that the hostess offered her assistance with choosing options for dinner. Sushi presentation was so beautiful The restaurant has seating inside and also in the patio in front of the restaurant. We were seating just inside the front door at a large round table. I guess our only disappointment was that they didn't have any ipa's, Malbec, or any red blends available to pair with the enormous sushi options.

The decor of this place is GORGEOUS! This is one of those places that you order on a tablet and…read moregrab a number then sit wherever is available (I love the self-service vibe in this manner). The food came out quick! I'm a ramen reverer, and I can say that this ramen unfortunately did not hit the mark for me. After reading their reviews, I am realizing that I probably should've tried their pho or other menu items, but it was a cold day and I really wanted to love the ramen here. The menu says the ramen has soft boiled eggs, but these were definitely hard boiled. I put a note for no corn in my ramen, but it definitely came with corn *sadness*. I ordered chicken in my ramen and was expecting slices of chicken like most places do, but instead it was ground chicken which was a little weird to eat in a ramen for me. If I come back here, I would definitely try a different type of menu item. But the restaurant gives very cutesy vibes!

On the tail end of my NC trip, my friend and I were looking for Sushi. The spot we both really…read morewanted was closed which is how we ended up here at Yama. Parking was really easy. And FREE. 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

If this was a casual restaurant, it would be ok, but for the location and setting and ambiance and prices, the food was just ok. I had 2 rolls and a pad Thai and I was not impressed. The best part was the appetizer yellowtail sashimi. That was good. I'm not driving across town for it

By default I'M NOT A SUSHI GIRL but I wanted to indulge. They make it easy to spot the cooked rolls with a *, that was really nice. I love Crab and settled on the Sunset! It was massive. 8 large peices packed to the wrapper. The rice was moist and oh so flavorful. The crab played well with the cream cheese. The rangoons are on the smaller size. Definitely one bite but they too pack a punch. Was disappointed there was only 4. My Soju was a nice call and swift satiated sensation to round out the meal. It wasn't strong though; more delicate and sweet. I loved the inside of the resturant but I decided to enjoy the patio. Its a beautiful spacious yet covered space with a speaker. Definitely work visiting and enjoying SN, they have curry! Everyone was ordering it. Im coming back to try it.

I will say, they did a pretty consistent takeout business, as we observed, though we chose to eat at the restaurant. My partner was craving rendang, and this was one of the only places we found that serves it in Charlotte. It was delicious, as well as the ginger scallion duck. We also ordered soup (classic) and they have a bar as well. Service was quick and efficient. They were friendly and gave the right amount of attention. A solid experience on our end!

This location was originally home to Yen's for many years- an exceptional neighborhood Chinese restaurant which closed about a year ago due to illness.

But try it yourself if you're in the area and write a review to confirm or deny my experience.

I also ordered lo mein which was really good because it was made with the thick noodles instead of the cheap thin ones. I like that they have both Japanese and Chinese food because a lot of people don't like sushi but like Chinese. I would rate Mr. Wok five stars if they gave the right amount of rolls. The roll shortage wouldn't bother me if it was not the same price as places that give you the 8 rolls. Please fix that Mr. Wok!!!!!!

There's this particular aroma that you only get from an authentic wonton soup broth, it's from salted radish...and a lot of restaurants get it wrong. Their fried rice is also good. I am very particular about fried rice. And the flavor of their fried rice reminds me of home. The type of fried rice we used to get when all the adults are drunk at midnight, and they take us out to eat in Oakland's China Town. All I need them to do is add salted fish fried rice to this menu and they're golden! That would earn them 5 stars! It's pretty busy and for good reasons. They're quick and straight to the point. You order, pay, and get your food.
