The food is mediocre at best and the customer service is horrendous. Lack of knowledge and customer service skills. The staffs are young and dumb. This place just doesn't seem sanitary at all. Simply disgusting! They are lucky to have any business due to the lack of any other good Asian choices around. read more

Amazing place! The sushi is phenomenal, and the staff is very friendly. You should definitely go here often.

Stopped by on our way to some lake activities on a weekday afternoon. The place was pretty empty and our server was quick and friendly. We had two apps (seaweed salad and pot stickers) and each got an entree which came w rice. The food was pretty good! Standard Chinese food, but what really blew our minds was how reasonably priced the restaurant was. Entrees were sub 10 dollars, apps similarly cheap, and the total bill was like $30 for what was a SUBSTANTIAL amount of food. We would totally be back for the value alone! We didn't try the sushi but it sounded great. Definitely recommend for a bite to eat at a great price in the area. read more

Since moving to Davidson/ Cornelius I've looked everywhere for decent Chinese food. Sabi is amazing, clean and it's always busy for a reason! I love their Singapore noodles and their some of the best I've ever had. We try to eat here weekly! Love this place! read more

We have been coming to Sabi regularly for over a decade. This place is the best blend of great food, reasonable prices, superb service and an owner that is dedicated to taking care of their team and customers. Enjoy! read more

Grocery store sushi is better than this place. There raw sushi was the worst quality I've ever had. The entree we got had a weird chemical taste. read more

We had about 13 people last night. Sabi accommodated our party by sitting us in the private room. The food, service and atmosphere were all excellent. Their General Tso's chicken may be the best I've ever had. read more

Loyal dish is wonderful! Authentic Chinese taste. The service is nice and considerate:) I love Sabi. I recommend you go there and try:)

Went to Sabi as a last min call. So impressed by the food ! husband got the spicy Mongolian beef it was to die for. I got a speciality sushi roll called the Subway roll best sushi I've had in awhile! You can tell it was nicer quality . We will deff be coming back to try more options ! Bang bang shrimp was an awesome way to start out too read more

Wanted to order the Crab Sushi Roll. However it was imitation crab meat. Sorry not paying 14 bucks for fake crab meat. Than I order the lamb chops for 22 bucks with spinach and white rice. I said may I get more spinach instead of rice. Up charge for that so I said never mind. Than it came with soup yet I was charged 2 bucks for soup. No thanks. Never coming back read more

Looked cute on the inside. However, our waitress acted like she didn't want to be there. The waitress was not interacting with us at all. She wasn't helpful in the ordering process. She never told us that a special item on the sushi menu was not a roll. This tuna special was better suited for an appetizer as it mostly resembled something out of a cat food container with fried noodles stuck into it like airplane wings. I love sushi and know good sushi. This did not qualify. The meal was pricey. My boyfriends order was the appetizer like tuna special. So he ate the majority of my curry plate. My curry plate wasn't bad. Not very spicy ...a bit bland. Probably will not return. A great sushi place is just across the road. They have a half off sushi special on Monday nights, and I know the waiter there would have let us know if the sushi was a roll...or not. read more

Sabi Asian Bistro - Sushi Bars Near Me - Davidson, North Carolina

Big sad face. Totally disappointing. So it's my birthday & since we have a baby & never go anywhere anymore, I decided I just wanted husband to pick up sushi & bring home as my special birthday dinner. Totally regret choosing this place. 1. The Brunt Roll failed miserably. The crab on top was mostly bland fried breading and warmed up the California rolls underneath enough that they just weren't very appetizing once I got to them :-X 2. Bang Bang shrimp appetizer, the only saving grace, 3.75 out of 5 stars... good taste just a little soggy 3. Inside Out Wonton Dip HUGE disappointment I blame a recent Yelp review for. I'm sure different cooks make it differently but mine tonight was just NOT good & usually you get sweet N sour sauce I thought, maybe that would have made it a little more edible. 4. Husband got the sweet & sour chicken and it was OK he said, nothing worth ordering again though. It's sad that one of the few sushi places around was so disappointing :/ read more

Sabi used to be one of my favorite places for Asian food for long time. But the food lately doesn't taste flavorful at all. Perhaps the cook got changed. read more

We stopped in here to try they're sushi rolls. The rolls were yummy and the fish light and fresh. There's 10 shushi bars we've gone to in the Davidson, Cornelius, Huntersville area and this one scored in the top 5. Clean, friendly and nice atmosphere. Edit: The Address listed here is wrong... Its at 698 Griffith st. I tried to edit the business address and hopefully it gets corrected. Also added they're web ilovesabi.com which shows the correct address and has the menu. read more

Sabi Asian Bistro - Sushi Bars Near Me - Davidson, North Carolina

As part of a business group, we decided to try Sabi as a potential spot for our monthly meetings. After our meeting, we were informed that we didn't generate enough money for them to consider us "worth it." Actually, "worth it" apparently means $500. This didn't come from the server, but the owner. He then informed us that we could perhaps try and find a spot at the bar next time, but a reserved table was out of the question. Uh, no thanks. As a former GM of a very successful restaurant, I am shocked that they would even consider telling guests that they were not good enough customers. Now, as a business person, I can't imagine treating a customer with such disdain and disrespect. Not only will we not be back as a group, I will never be back as a customer...period. I put up with their overpriced sushi and drinks before this incident, but when a business owner tells me he doesn't want my business, I will oblige him. With pleasure. read more

Staff that doesn't care, waitress that looks completely unhappy, bathroom are gross and the food is very plain. Sushi there sucks! Harris Teether has better sushi by light years away. Food took very long despite it was empty on a Saturday for lunch. I only give it 2 stars because the place is nice and the chicken Teriaky that my father in law got was not too bad. Everything else is a mess. Don't go there. read more

Asian Fusion done correctly. When you walk in, this place doesn't seem like anything special but I after my experience, I would come back in a heartbeat. I was staying at a nearby hotel with a few friends and we decided to grab some food nearby. The place was almost empty when we got there around lunch time, which made us skeptical. When we looked at the menu and saw that it was Asian fusion, I became even more skeptical. It's not that easy to find a place that serves pad thai, sushi, and orange chicken. It's much, much more difficult to find a place that serves a variety of Asian and does it well. But after trying the food, I was happy. We had multiple types of sushi, edamame, pad thai, and orange chicken. Everything was well prepared. Nothing was standout. Sabi still get's 4 stars though because they do this many types of Asian well. read more

In the sauce was just amazing. The Mongolian beef was fork tender. The fried squid was fresh and tasty. We will be back. ASK FOR LOLA she has been here 10 years, great gal and service. read more

Singapore Rice noodles are a 4/5, inside out crab Rangoon dip was tasty. Dragon & Phoenix is a 2/5 and not worth of a $15 price tag ( chicken over breaded and sauce pretty bland). Beer and wine menu is creative and diverse for a small collection. The Wildcat roll (Sushi) is just average 3/5 and uneventful in flavor. Maybe this was an off night as my lunch a few days earlier was a 4/5. read more

Sabi Asian Bistro - Sushi Bars Near Me - Davidson, North Carolina

We went for a lunch. This is a pretty busy lunch place. The food was nice, nothing too awesome but was good. The chicken was good. Server was not very happy with us, we were still eating and she put down the checks. I am giving 4 stars as the food was good. You can have good casual lunch but only if you are asian food fan. read more

I've tried this place 4 times in the last year and I really want to like this place because of the concept and location. However each time I go several small, perhaps nit picky things happen. Any of the things by themselves wouldn't bother me but 3+ of these small things each time I go add up to hurt my overall experience. Here's some of the things I mean: These did not happen in one trip but spread across the 4 visits. Refilling my 1/2 and 1/2 tea with sweet tea only. Not replacing a dropped fork for 5 minutes after asking The pasta noodles where little fragments 1/4 inch size. The Pad Tia being soupy enough to drain 4 tablespoons The nuts being served separate even though I said I wanted them mixed into the dish. The server never asks about spice level Waited for the bill for 15 minutes. Dry chicken. Way to much egg in my dish. For the money go up to Mooresville for Thai Thai Cafe. read more

Went to Sabi's for the first time with a co-worker for lunch. The restaurant has a very warm feel to it which was great because it was a chilly rainy day when we came. Everything on their menu looks really good, I had a hard time deciding what to get. I finally decided on the Spicy Thai Red Curry with Chicken, it was really good and had great flavor but really didn't have that much spice to it but I like my food spicy so someone who doesn't like spice would probably say the dish is spicy. Sabi dishes are big enough that both me and my co-worker had leftover for lunch the next day. I will definitely come back to try more of the menu! read more

I stopped into Sabi after hearing about it from my co-workers. It's also a plus that it's right down to road from our campus. First thing I noticed when I walked in for lunch was the place was dead... For a Saturday lunch, I thought the place would more active, I think it was me and a family at the next table. This was a concern to after walking in....did I make the right choice? Exploring the menu, it's very similar to your American/Asian fusion. They also have sushi here. After driving for 9 hours, I wanted something more filling and I went with the Lo Mein. I can say the food here was really good. It doesn't have that MSG-overload feeling you get from your typical Chinese take-out. I would even go out of my way to say this place beats PF Changs and has better food quality! Reason for the 3 stars was, the host was very friendly walking in. My waitress just seemed like she did not want to be there. Food is undeniably gets 4 star, the service took that away. If you're in the Davidson area, I would definitely check this place out! read more

two words: sushi and pad-thai (Its my review, so Im letting 'pad-thai' go down as one word ;)). They have GREAT sushi: the Ace and TJ and the Subway are AMAZING. Their pad thai is pretty good too. They have to work on their desserts tho. Have tried some and didnt like them. read more

I have only had their SUSHI and it's the best. If you are a SUSHI LOVER like me, this is the place. Make your next night, a SABI night. read more

Sabi Asian Bistro - There is no better place.......SABI, your the one and only place to eat Sushi! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Davidson, North Carolina

My dads favorite place to eat! We eat here pretty often when I'm in town. Food is always great and I love the lettuce wraps. Service could use a bit of work. They tend to be pretty slow with bringing food/refills/check. read more

I did not dine-in, only ordered take-out. Don't order sushi here. It's terrible. The rice and seafood on the "special" sushi I ordered smelled old. Like food that had been stored in the fridge for far too long. If I was a dine-in customer, I would have asked for a refund. Lesson learned, don't order sushi from here! read more

Ramen, pork belly and sushi. I thought this place was very good. Ramen was great, sushi was great; prices not so great. One pet peeve of mine, if you put it on a lunch special, or special in general, it should be a different price, specifically a lower price. Dinner Pork belly Ramen for $13, cool. Lunch special Pork belly Ramen for $13? Shouldn't it be cheaper?? Place was clean, bathroom was clean. Hostess seemed unperson-able, like snobbish, our waitress seemed "upset", but cracked a few jokes at the end of lunch. I think that's just her personality, one of those I'm an a-hole unless you get to know me kind of people. Update: I've been here about 4 times now. Where I was a huge fan before, the food taste, seems to have fallen off a bit. There service is also lacking. They are nice enough, but me asking for the check at 12:07pm, and then me being able to leave at 12:28pm, seems a bit much. This happens more often then not, and I think I will have to bypass this place as a lunch venue. read more

Ok, first they have 3 front door hostess and yes they are all very pretty but not very good at welcoming the guests. We arrived on Saturday night and did not know we needed reservations. We tried with open table but they do not use it. We were told it was a wait and we should sit at the sushi bar, we said not thank you we will wait at the bar and we were told on no, just sit at the sushi bar, the bar is crowded. Portions are good but the staff way to casual and the food. ok, not the best I have had. The place in Mooresville is twice as good for half the price. The atmosphere is nice but the whole mix of Asian fusion is just covering the gamete abut not really delivering on any one type. Since the place was recommended to us, I was really disappointed. I will take quality over quantity any day. I am really surprised it was so crowded. hummmm read more

Yay! I'm a fan! I must admit, I was really skeptical when my Aunt suggested to come here for dinner. I have that NY snob attitude (quite proud of it too) "Ahh Asian food in NC? Can't be good.". And wow, was I wrong! I ordered their special which was the Korean ribs and while it's not THE BEST I've ever had...they were pretty damn good. If they offer this special while you're there, GET IT! My Aunt ordered their shrimp lo mein and i'm thinking "how good can a shrimp lo mein be...i mean come on!". I am ashamed to admit that it was the best shrimp lo mein I've ever had. The staff was great and the place is clean. The lighting is dim so I'd say it's semi romantic. Next time I'm in NC again, I will definitely stop by. read more

Have dined here many times and the food is mediocre, nothing special. The price is fair. Recommend ordering a couple sides as they are large and well priced. Recommend their sushi, especially when it is buy one get one free! read more

We went here for dinner tonight after purchasing a deal through Living Social recently. It was ok, but in the end I wasn't a fan. The place was missing a lot. Maybe it's because I came for sushi and it's not a place fully devoted to sushi, or maybe I'm just picky. We had a reservation for 6:30 and were sat within under a minute. The restaurant itself was not what I expected. It was a bit too big and bright for my taste. I prefer a quieter establishment when I eat sushi, and this place was so loud that there was a lot of "huh?" and what?" between the miss' and I. Our server was attentive but pretty impersonal and we felt pretty rushed. I'm sure a good part of it was that it was a busy night and maybe he was just swamped. Another issue I had was with the sushi menu. It was LAME. When I go to a sushi place, I want to see the chef's super duper fancy rolls. Sabi's menu was very lacking in this regard and the menu was made up of pretty "meh" rolls. We ended up ordering a Dragon roll, California roll, and Phili roll. Oh, and one other thing I have to say is that the draft beers are a varied selection and come at a cheap price. We started with an appetizer of fried calamari (one of my weaknesses). Sabi's calamari is fried in a tempura batter and served with plenty of pepper and a spicy sauce. I've never had fried calamari tempura-style, and I never will again. It's a heavy coating and proved to be too heavy for the calamari as I tasted more fried goodness than seafood. I have nothing against fried food, but I'm extra judgemental of calamari and the lack of taste was sad. In it's defense I have to say that the sauce was pretty good and complimented the tempura well. The rolls were average, if not a little below. They were very "ricey" so they were heavier than what I'm used to in sushi rolls. The California roll was pretty bland, even with the extra fish they layer on top. The Dragon roll was my favorite of the three but it was still nothing that blew my mind. As for the Phili roll...we haven't had that in quite a number of years. I guess we felt that we "graduated" beyond such "beginner rolls". Yet with such a blah menu where nothing really jumped out at us, we decided to have a blast from the past with the Phili. It was ok, but nothing special. I think my biggest problem with Sabi is that it just doesn't stand up to other restaurants I've been to. A place I consider "average" goes about one or two steps above Sabi. I won't be coming back to Sabi, and next time we go out for sushi we'll either explore someplace new or stick with what we know at eeZ Fusion. read more

Came here for a late lunch. Around 2:00pm. Not busy at all. Seated right away and the waitress and hostess were very nice. The food was delicious! Got a couple sushi rolls that were very fresh and flavorful. I imagine this place getting very busy during the peak hours with food that good! I didn't give it 5 stars because the girls bathroom was in disarray. Definitely need to sink some money into fixing toilet seats and toilet paper dispenser. read more

Nice, clean, trendy restaurant with good service. The sushi is average and over priced. Basically, if you order a roll with certain ingredients, that's all you will get; nothing more to add flavor. The "Asian" food is decent, but you can get it at an actual Asian restaurant and enjoy something more authentic. Very convenient location, but would not go out of my way to eat there. read more

Visited there a few months ago and stopped for a late Sunday lunch, and a pleasant surprise. The interior was pleasant and clean. The server was friendly and helpful by locating some gluten free soy. We all enjoyed our rolls, that were fresh with outstanding sauces and colorful to the eye. Will visit again. read more

Sabi Asian Bistro - Bruna roll- soft shell crab on a California roll. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Davidson, North Carolina

I have been eating here for years. My entire family loves this place! Never a disappointment. Sushi is among the best at the lake for quality. read more

Boring menu. Lacking chef talent as their sushi is heavy on the rice, very light on the key ingredients, and high priced for what it is. Attractive dining room. Decent service. My husband has been a sushi chef for 17+ years. If you're craving sushi around Lake Norman, check out "eeZ Fusion" in Birkdale. It's very expensive, and the rolls are very large, but it tastes so much better. They are also very good with young children. read more

Extremely surprise of the quality of the food and the great service. Went on a Wednesday night with my kids while we were in town from Orlando, FL. Every single dish was great! read more

Sabi is a pretty good Asian Fusion place in the Davidson Area. It's filled a niche that has existed since Bonsai went away (yes, the last time I was in Davidson Bonsai was still there), but doesn't really do anything more to be outstanding. I had dinner here with family recently, and it was on a popular Friday night, so there was a bit of a wait to get a table. The staff was cordial but obviously busy and not as attentive and direct as could have been. Their food is typical American Asian food, with a combination of Japanese, Chinese, Thai available. We got the Bang Bang shrimp for an appetizer, and while the sauce was flavorful, it was in not in any way spicy (as my brother who eats hot hot food remarked). My wife hit the Sushi, and was pretty pleased with it overall, the nori wasn't overly damp and slimy and the proteins in the rolls she got were fresh. Continuing the spicy trend, I had the Spicy Mango Chicken, which was pleasantly hot and while the Mangos were slightly underripe, I actually preferred them that was as they provided a cooling presence for the meal. My brother had the General Tso's, a classic, and felt that it was a bit bland, but knowing his spicy tastes, that's not saying much. The plates were filling, however my one complaint here is that certain dishes seem over-priced for what you're getting. Perhaps it's just the Lake Norman inflation effect, but the value here is not overwhelming. Certainly not bad if you're in Davidson and looking for a close (even walkable from the downtown and much of the college) Asian themed place to eat, but keep your expectations at that. read more

Another great meal at Sabi in Davidson. Julie was awesome, taking great care of us. The meal was as good as last time, it's always nice to feel confident that whatever we order will be good. read more
