This is my local go to local sushi restaurant. I have tried several others and appreciate the food and service at this location.

Love the food here, from main entrees to sushi. Always consistently delish every time!

I came here because the location was convenient to the Y, but after eating here, I'll definitely be coming back! The quality is top notch, the menu selection is solid and most importantly, it's just really tasty. I had the teriyaki salmon bento box. Very generous portions of everything! The tempura veggies were light and crisp, the miso soup delicious, the sides and sauces were also tasty and the salmon itself was slightly crispy on the outside and moist and delicious on the inside. We also tried the miso ramen with egg--so good and so comforting-my 5 YO declared this this best dinner he ever has had. I didn't actually try the sushi, but after our great first two experiences, I definitely will go for it next time! read more

Great service at Somi Sushi! The sushi rolls were fresh, and this has been one of the best sushi experiences. The waiter was very attentive, and even gave us a to go water! Highly recommend this restaurant. Ambience was very cozy and romantic. read more

Delicious! Sushi rolls were melt in your mouth good. Bento box was so much good. Highly recommend!

I literally stopped here on a whim in hopes to help my craving for sushi. I arrived 20 minutes before closing but they allowed me to order with no problem. The establishment is small and quaint but was very clean. I ordered a spicy tuna roll and a crunch crab roll, i was not a bit disappointed. I sadly ate both my rolls before I remembered I should have take a picture. The crunch crab I devoured first and I even was able to convince my husband to try it. The crab was nicely shredded on top with spicy mayo sauce and on the inside was tempura shrimp and avocado, it was amazing. I absolutely despise when a sushi restaurant uses crab salad in their featured crab dishes so I was pleased to not have that experience. The tuna was very fresh with great flavor. I couldn't be happier. I will for sure come back to this hidden gem in Matthews. read more

Ahhhhhmazzing! 10 out of 10. Jesus was so patient and helpful, but the FOOD! If it wasn't so far I would be back weekly, but great to know this place exist. I do recommend the LA, Crunch, and Scarface roll. read more

I was very impressed with the sushi rolls, the freshness of the sashimi, and even my nephews chicken Katsu. The wait staff was friendly. The owner came out and spoke to us. The place is small. And it is a little above average and cost. I would recommend. read more

Delicious! I have never eaten in the restaurant. I always get it to go. But service is good. It's always packed. Would recommend.

This place is the best! Our favorite go to sushi restaurant! They are very busy so it sometimes takes a little while to get the sushi but it is worth the wait. There is a reason this place is always so busy. The food is wonderful. Also if we order online they always have our order correct when we pick up. read more

Absolutely wonderful! The tuna carpaccio was the very best tuna we've had. This is our new and only sushi place! 5 stars.

Tried Somi for the first time and was very pleased. Tasted delicious and fresh! Carry out was convenient!

Many great sushi places in CLT. Somi may be the best if the bunch. Outstanding quality of food, followed by excellent, friendly service. This is my go-to sushi joint! read more

We ordered the Tonkotsu ramen and teriyaki steak bento box along with the chicken Kati's for my kids and it was really good. The ramen was not too porky and the tempura vegetables was perfect! I am so glad to see this place so close to us. The staffs were so nice and polite so you don't have to worry about any bad service. The price may seem high for the bento box but like the other reviews says, the food portion is generous so it's worth it. read more

Honestly some of the best sushi in CLT..tucked away in Matthews across from the Brace YMCA..the Somi Roll and 007 roll are amazing! Check out the Bento Box! Enough for 2 people easily! read more

Somi Sushi - Japanese Near Me - Matthews, North Carolina

Really good sushi. Really good. One of the best in Charlotte. Don't overlook it just because of the modest appearance.

A real little gem. The sashimi is outstanding. Hamachi Kama is a wonderful appetizer. They have an outstanding selection of specialty rolls if you are so inclined. The menu is extensive - ramen, etc. read more

I'll use the same phrase I see on most of these reviews...a hidden gem. It really is! I stumbled across it a few years ago shopping at the Goodwill nearby. It has since been my go-to sushi place almost every Saturday. And its 2 towns away! My favorite is the Somi Roll. There's nothing like it. And I've tried sushi joints uptown and on the east side. Please support your local businesses and give them a try. I'm sure you'll wind up being one of the regulars. read more

Highly recommend‼ Very welcoming and friendly‼ Sushi was fabulous‼ I recommend the Sashimi combos, noodles, and the diamond roll‼

Delicious and amazing food and service. Sushi is only the start, the entrees are fantastic read more

Tried Somi for lunch and found that they have very reasonable lunch specials that include a lot of choices and fills you up. Came back for dinner and tried 4 different rolls that did not disappoint. Every thing is very fresh and the service is top notch. Also as a bonus the Sapporo is ice cold! read more

Loved this place. Great luncheon specials at a very reasonable price. Will come back soon!

Best and probably the only great sushi in the Charlotte area. Prices are fair too...can't wait to go back!

Awesome place. Definitely a must try! You'll be hooked after. The food is great and they try to accommodate if you have a dietary need. Since we found about this place my daughter and I moved our customary sushi Tuesday here ;-) read more

Ordered online and my family was ecstatic. Amazing modern sushi combination rolls and traditional sushi. Everything was done perfectly.

We are out of towers and needed good, comfort food. This place was in a great location to where we were and had great reviews. It's not a big place and already pretty full for an early dinner on a Saturday. We sat at the counter and saw that this place operates very efficiently. They got so busy with people getting on the waitlist and doing takeout, but they kept their cool!! Their food was excellent, and I'm picky about sushi. Definitely recommend this place and will come back when I'm in the area again!! read more

My husband and I really like this spot. Everything on the menu looks absolutely delicious and can't wait to try it all. So far, our favorites are the Red Dragon Roll, Deja Vu Roll, and Eel and Avocado Roll. The Hamachi Kama is my favorite appetizer and could eat the entire thing by myself because it's that tasty. Today we tried the Dynamite Roll and Tuna Tataki Roll (along with the Red Dragon Roll) and it was amazing. The service has always been friendly to us. Every time we've been here it's been wonderful. We haven't had this much sushi since moving to Charlotte (we are from the West Coast) and we are so glad to have found this place! read more

Great sushi! One of my favorites in Charlotte. The rolls are fantastic! Will definitely keep coming back!

Whenever I go to a sushi spot, I always get the same two rolls and those two rolls let me know if the restaurant is good or not: The Philadelphia Roll and the Spicy Tuna Roll. My verdict? The sushi is good, definitely worth the price. The Philadelphia roll had a good ratio of avocado, salmon, and cream cheese. Some restaurants make the error of adding a big quantity of ingredients to the roll, but that was not the case here. My only suggestion would be to add the signature sesame seeds on the outside of the roll. The Spicy Tuna has a good spicy sauce on top of the roll. My only issue, and this is more of a preference thing, is that I don't like the cucumber they add in this roll. I feel it could do without. read more

Moved to the area a few months ago and have been hesitant to try other sushi places instead of our normal go to (which is about 15 mins away). We were very impressed! We will definitely order again! 007, crunchy crab and surf and turf were delicious read more

Love the food here the staff is very friendly. Very big portions! I deff recommend. The rolls are very good and fish was super fresh. My bro in law got the donkatsu bento. But don't let the price fool you him and his now fiancé couldn't finish it. So I did. Lol the pork was tender and juicy the salad was refreshing along with the miso soup and the tempura mix! Chef has years of experience! Go! read more

I have been very disappointed in the food quality in the restaurants since I have moved to Charlotte from Virginia. My wife and I have gone to several different places to dine at. From fine dining establishments to highly rated hole in the walls. However my experience at Somi Sushi was unforgettable. The fish was pleasant and odorless. The tempura shrimp was retardedly flaky and crispy at the same time. The Somi Sushi roll was savory and sweet. The service was top notch. The prices are fair for the large portions you receive. I would highly recommend this establishment. read more

It WAS one of my family's favorite restaurants, but not anymore. Recently we were charged additional several dollars for kitchen cost except tips. Another time we were told there would be no egg in the noodles but still charged us same price as before. And then we arrived at 2:02pm but were told they didn't accept dine-in guests anymore although it will be closed at 2:30pm. Disappointed! read more

Great sushi options. Very fresh. Awesome selections too! Good service and priced right too!

The spicy California roll was delicious! Great service - decor is very cute and clean! read more

We love this place. We have tried many things on the menu and everything is great. Always a solid go to for take out night.

I wouldn't say I'm a sushi snob, but I am particular about it. I went to Somi for the first time this week, and it is hands down the best sushi I've ever had. Can't wait to go back. I got the "007" roll, outstanding! Smells and tastes very fresh. Give them a try read more

Good was ok, very rigid in any changes. It was acceptable but the server was weird and I felt like I was asking a lot when I asked for shrimp just boiled instead of fried in my ramen. Not bad just not great. read more

My wife and I went here on christmas eve and it is now our favorite sushi spot. Our server was very nice and took great care of us. There are so many great sushi rolls to choose from. We ordered 5 or 6 and couldnt decide on a favorite because they were all perfect. We came back a few nights later because my mom was in visiting and she loves sushi. She was as happy with this place as we were. If you havent been here yet you need to try it. It is very small inside so it probably fills up quickly but it would be worth the wait read more
