    Have been several times since moving to Indian Trail a year ago! Great service and clean. Always the freshest sushi and great quality! I highly recommend!

    Salmon nigiri

    We love Shoku! Sushi is always amazing, and their kitchen menu item never disappoint! Sashimi and nigiri is always cut so perfectly! I love all of the different rolls we've tried. We recently asked to add jalapeño to a roll and they did so without hesitation which is hard to find a place that will modify anything! Always a perfect quick dinner

    This is the love boat and it's a little bit of everything sushi wise but it's well worth the price one can feed four people

    The people were really polite and respectful price was not bad for what we got it was a really enjoyable experience for us and if you are looking for a grate place to start your sushi journey I recommend this place

    Salmon belly and sake

    My wife and I decided to order sushi Friday night and were looking for delivery. Shoku popped up and we were hesitant because we had never been before and hadn't heard much about it but we gave it a shot anyways. WOW - this is my new jam. When I opened the containers of sushi, I was blown away with the amount of fish in each roll. You can see the one roll in the picture that has very little rice and a giant chunk of fish and the entire order was that way. I could not believe how fresh and how big the pieces of fish were. We liked it so much we went there for dinner the following night. Now dinner wasn't the same experience as we had when we ordered delivery. They fish was still excellent and massive. We ordered the boat for two and everything came out quick and as ordered. The pieces of sashimi were huge chunks and were great, overall. The salmon was frozen and icy in the middle but the rest was perfect. The rest of the rolls were okay but not what I would have ordered. There was alot of imitation crab used which would not have been my preference however, the chef's wouldn't have known that since I didn't tell them.

    Sweetie Roll

    When I visit my family, my sister and I always enjoy a sushi lunch. This is a new place for me that she recently discovered and is close to her house. We went twice during my visit! My first visit I chose two rolls from the lunch menu. The spicy tuna and the eel avocado roll. The spicy tuna is perfectly spicy. The eel roll was great-my niece stole a few pieces! On the second visit I ordered the Sweetie Roll and my sister ordered the King Roll. My roll was great but the King Roll was FIRE!! We will definitely return.

    Crab Ragoon

    1st visit. We were very pleased. Any time we find at least 3 or more rolls we might like, we want to try the place out. (We like shrimp, crab & smoked salmon...not into the fish, tuna or soft shell crab). This place did not disappoint! We narrowed down about 5 or 6 rolls down to these 3 and they were yummy.

    Crazy Roll (left) and Shaggy Dog Roll (right). Both shrimp tempura & cucumber rolls, just different toppings

    Get the Volcano Roll! I'm not the biggest sushi fan, but was feeling in the mood for some with my husband. We split the crab Rangoon, gyoza dumplings & fried shrimp appetizers. All were delicious but would prob skip the fried shrimp next time, as it could have used more sauce. Then shared two shrimp tempura rolls (Crazy Roll & Shaggy Dog Roll)... both are the same roll, just with a different topping. Personally I liked the Shaggy Dog since I'm not a fan of salmon which was on the Crazy Roll. We also got the sweet potato roll, which we will def skip next time. Partly because it was too much food, but mainly was just sub par on the flavor. The sweet potato could have been cooked longer as well, as it was somewhat Al dente. But the best part of the meal was hands down the Volcano Roll. Spicy tuna & cream cheese, deep fried and topped with Siracha, spicy Mayo & eel sauce. Will def be back for this roll! Restaurant was clean, pleasant atmosphere and our waitress was great. Will be back!

    Tuna Tartare

    Had quite the feast last night at this spanking new restaurant... As expected, the place was clean, and practicing great Covid measures (masks, socially distanced seating). Although on the casual side, they featured fine restaurant quality foods and fancy plating even! Also, service was great, and thanks to my waitress' suggestion, my "Rainbow" sushi rolls were indeed AMAZING! I went with 2 equally passionate Foodies, and we ordered up a storm...starting with 3 appetizers, then sushi rolls, followed up with fatty Matcha Cheesecakes...and we lapped it all up, even the smallest one of us (Go Girl, Merna!). I also hope we didn't make too much of a scene trying to get the best shots of these arty foods lol! As far as I'm concerned, there can never be too many great Japanese restaurants...and am so glad this one is off and running with flying colors. Yes Folks, this one is definitely worth checking out...so go now!

    The restaurant is new and clean. The food presentation appears nice, but.... the wonton crab cheese puff was chewy. The Agedashi tofu taste lacking granted it should be mild and silky, the sauce that went with it was too bland so it does not contrast with the Tofu. The sushi roll was okay but lacking in taste as well, it mostly taste avocado. The Chirashi was okay. The service was lukewarm. I feel the restaurant is missing authenticity. Overall, this is not for me.

    Steak hibachi. Carrots and rice over flowing and steak perfect med rare.

    Order and come here often. Inside is such a calm chill mood. Even when it's a busy day it doesn't seem over crowded. Service is always outstanding, especially when toddle has been grump(always feel bad when he suddenly turns a mood). Food is always amazing, my toddler devours the fried rice and miso and will eat edamame. I usually get the steak hibachi my husband gets the fish. Both are always outstanding. Ordering out they Stuff the Togo box. We have had the tempura and takoyaki and those are bomb as well. Love coming here! (Pic from the last time I order through Uber/door dash)

    Bad sushi

    I came here and was expecting good things from the reviews. First problem was it took 20 minutes just to get water. The second problem, which is way worse, was that the sushi was slimy and was suspicious. I ate one piece and I felt a little odd in the stomach. Luckily they took it off the bill, no hassle. Apps were good too. But safe to say I won't be returning again.

    Entrees/Hibachi Menu

    The sushi is fantastic and the kids loved the Hibachi Chicken. Wait staff is great and very attentive. I had the Dynamite Roll, Spider Crab roll and the NY Steak roll. All of it was great! Will definitely come back.

I got there early and sat at the bar. Wasn't crowded yet so was served right away. I tried the spinach and artichoke dip and pepperoni flatbread, both were good. I didn't partake in any alcohol but they have plenty of wine options and a few cocktails as well. The whole vibe there is great for girls night, date nights or just solo. Great ambiance.

Gross. Was not able to drink the wine as per my research, a disintegrated cork is indicative of a larger problem. I tried calling back multiple times but no one answered. UPDATE: I called multiple times the next morning too and finally got through to the rudest man I've ever had the misfortune of speaking to. He was in an immediate hostile, angry, and yelling state. I was bewildered. He said he was the owner. I told him what happened. He NEVER apologized. He was hostile and yelling when he told me to bring the wine back in if I wanted my money back. I told him driving with an open container was a felony but if he wanted to get it I could meet him in my neighborhood (where I could walk and hand it to him). He misunderstood and yelled that he's not coming over to my home. I knew then that there was something seriously wrong with this guy. He seems very MAGA which is ironic given that most of his patrons are "non-MAGA." I even called the police asking for assistance. They told me not to drive with an open container. I went to this place after reading the good reviews about the music and the wonderful service from the woman owner. So I asked to speak to the woman that was indicated as the owner. He angrily and loudly refused. I had to hold the phone away from my ear. He acted like I was at fault and bothering him. He was the one selling bad wine and greasy food (now I question the food after dealing with the owner). He told me not to come back. And I won't. He finally told me to pour out the wine and give him my Venmo details. But I just called back and left him a mailing address so he could mail back my money. I feel like crying and have a headache now. I don't deserve this. I feel like I've been punched. I have never been so disrespectfully treated.

And as crowded as it was on our recent visit, The One may eventually have to seek out trendier, more spacious digs somewhere else in the Queen City. Until then, be prepared for a noisy ambiance, peak hour waits and tables that are a bit close for comfort. But the food and cocktails make it all worth it. The extensive menu of shareable plates offers something for every palate, from the tasty Fettucini with Roasted Duck Ragu and flavorful Braised Short Ribs to the amazing Oxtail Empanadas. Paired with a perfectly mixed Old Fashioned or a bottle of wine from their impressive selection, it adds up to a compelling culinary experience for anything from date night to an evening with friends. Service was excellent on our visit and prices were very reasonable for a meal of this caliber. Parking is free and super-easy, but reservations are highly recommended -- especially for weekend visits. My only gripe was the tightness of the space, which makes intimate conversation a bit challenging and the tables a bit crowded -- especially when you order a variety of plates. But if you can manage to visit on a quiet weeknight, The One will deliver a wonderful tapas meal that will have you planning a return visit before you pick up the check.

The burgers had that pre cooked microwave bacon and the "famous fries" were just curly wedges you can get at any college bar.

If you're gunna do all this to take away from your regular dining experience you may as well not do a lunch menu at all.

On Tuesdays cocktails are half off so I got the margarita and it was delish. For food I got the truffle fries and short rib sliders. Both were phenomenal! I couldn't even eat it all lol because even though small plates, I felt they both were filling. This place is great for a date night, hanging with the girls or even going solo to hang out at the bar. I can't wait to get back! Only thing that could make this place better is some live acoustic music sometimes, it would set the ambience off even more. Spoke with the owner and he said they do cocktail classes as well, they don't have them listed on the website but working on it, but said can email them for the info. I certainly will! lol
