We ate Dojo for supper and it was good as always! We started off w/ the fried gyoza dumplings and was great. I got the crab roll and the creamy monster roll, both were delicious! My wife got the vegetable fried rice and my god it was a huge mound of rice and delicious!! Service was great and the ambience was good as well.

Chicken Udon noodles are great! Green tea is spot on. But they are busy, an hour wait.

The plate left by my friend who was charged full price for a meal that wasn't correct at first and brought back out overcooked.

Sunday, 1/14/24, my friends and I decided to dine in at this facility. Granted, I come here often, usually with different people despite having had some not so great experiences, I've continued to come and support this local business. That ends today. I will not waste my hard earned money at a business whose food is mediocre, managers are unprofessional, and staff lacks communication and customer service skills. As for ambiance, the location could use a good cleaning and new dishes, nothing too terrible to take away from grabbing a quick, or not so quick in our cases, bite. Upon greeting our table, the waitress- Gabby- greeted us by letting us know that she wasn't our waitress; she was only taking our drink orders to help out our actual waitress. Drinks were ordered and brought to the table wrong. She apologized, we were cool; it happens. After several minutes pass, Gabby returns and proceeds to take our food order; I guess she would be our waitress ‍ The four of us place our orders: vegetable yakisoba- spicy, bento box with a side of mixed veggies, Penang curry- no rice- and a side of spicy cabbage, and lastly, fried rice with only egg and diced onions. (I ordered the yakisoba.) My friend who ordered the chicken fried rice with diced onions and egg had a detailed conversation where she expressed she ONLY ate diced onions, and asked if this were possible. Gabby assured her that she understood and the diced onions would be no problem.. Gabby was off to the kitchen to put in the order. Nearly an hour passed, which we had patience with as Gabby came over once to refill drinks and replace drinks- there was something floating in the half and half. We were all still calm and patient. She let us know our food should be out soon. When the food finally arrived 3/4 of the orders were wrong. No one complained, we simply let Gabby know what our issues were. (I.e.: the veggie Yakisoba came out all veggies, no noodles; the fried rice had sliced strips of onions not diced ones; and the Penang curry with no rice and a side of spicy cabbage came out all mixed together as an entree and a side of rice- which of course is no issue, who doesn't enjoy extra food? The point in me adding this was either the kitchen didn't pay attention to Gabby or Gabby didn't pay attention to the orders.) Gabby said "she wasn't sure what was going on, the kitchen was blank and had a moment". My Yakisoba was fixed, I was grateful. The issue was the chicken fried rice was put back on the grill to dice the onions but the rice was extra hard and re-fried. My friend let Gabby know that she was grateful that the onions were semi diced; it's just at this point, the rice was all too hard. She no longer wanted the food and did not eat it. At this point Gabby was very nervous and lacked communication about said requests. She assured the table that she let the kitchen know about the diced onions, she'd bring the tickets, and let the manager know about our tables' issues. Needless to say, a manager never came over. I paid for my meal via the cash app option and was sure to tip Gabby. Being in the service industry I understand that tips are a blessing and based off of service, which she wasn't the best and definitely not the worst. I was grateful for the service she did provide. At the register, the fried rice could not be taken off of my friend's ticket because there was no manager. Gabby told us to hold on because she was going to talk to the "serving manager" who never came over and addressed us at all. Gabby let my friend know nothing could be done because the manager wasn't there. I've never experienced such cluelessness regarding a situation. I stepped in and asked Gabby if my friend was still being charged for a meal that was left on the table barely touched beyond the bites revealing the refried rice. Gabby said yes, she would be charged and let me know a manager would be in later; I could leave my number and she'd have a manager give me a call. This is what upset me: the manager calls, and it was a woman who asked me what was going on. I proceed to explain the situation- I was put on a brief hold and a man gets on the phone claiming to be the manager. I re-explain the situation, which he said he was aware of. I hear discussion in the background and laughing. At the end of the day there was never an apology, simply arguing and disputing of facts- it was a joke to the staff.

After a delightful Sunday service, my mother, friends and I decided to have dinner here after a long while of visiting. The last time I came here some years ago I did not have the issue I am about to divulge. We walked in and were serviced rather quickly, always a plus! It wasn't super busy but we could tell staffing was a bit low at the moment. The atmosphere was decent nothing too exciting but good for where we were! We were very patient and understanding while we waited. Finally someone from the wait staff named Gabby came by and said she would be taking our drink orders but she is not our waitress. She went off for our drinks and came back with incorrect drink order which was rectified. Eventually she ended up taking our food order despite the information we were given, no worries there! While we waited on our food we noticed there was something floating in the tea given to my mother, which prompted me to check my tea. My sweet tea also had something floating in it, so we had them changed out; I did not trust it so I got water. Our food finally comes out during our mingling and majority of the food was incorrect. We ordered vegetable yakisoba (spicy), a bento box with a side of vegetables, fried rice with just egg and diced onions and the Penang curry (w/o rice). My mother ordered the fried rice and asked if diced onions was something they could do as she does not eat julienned/sliced onions. Gabby confirmed that it was doable and shouldn't be a problem at all. When our food came out the yakisoba (this is a noodle dish) came without noodles, the penang curry came with rice (we are not complaining about extra food), and lastly my mother's rice had non diced onions. To top it all off, the shrimp in my bento box were NOT clean, but I went around it and ate everything else in the box. We sent back the fried rice as she was told it could be corrected. When it arrived back to the table it had been "diced" by tossing it all back on the grill and chopping it up leaving the rice hard and unenjoyable. My mother took a bite and couldn't get through the rest. She left behind the entire plate of food and we told her to get a manager involved. She chose to pursue to pay but we asked for a manager for her. We waited at the front for someone to come as the person in the front just stared at us, soon Gabby came. We asked if there was a manager and we were told there was not one there she got the person who as technically in charge (the person who sat and stared at us waiting to pay). She was told her order could not be refunded so we asked could we leave a contact number for a manager. Two managers spoke with one of our friends about the situation and I was informed they were rude, laughing and mishandled the situation. She also was told" you got lucky that you got diced onions because we only slice them here." Even though her onions were not sliced in the Yakisoba I digress. As a Chef, customer service expert and consumer this definitely lacked professionalism and care. If a customer is paying, patient, more than understanding and never rude why not take care of them? If the food was not eaten it should have been taken off after it was sent back one time. Mind you one of my friends tipped regardless of her many bad experiences at this particular location. Needless to say I will not be back here and neither will my friends and mother. -Signed, Sunnyy

We always get a solid meal here. It's not fancy necessarily, but we love it and always get solid service. I love a basic bento box, and my wife is pleased to be able to get solid sushi when we're in Shelby. Plenty of seating and decent parking are available. It's dark and chill in the restaurant if you're not looking for brightness and noise. So it's a win for my anxiety.

Can I just start by saying, the food was delicious, as always, which is why I'm willing to deal with the poor welcoming I received this evening -- the hostess was so sweet once she realized that I had been overlooked and completely ignored for the better half of 5 minutes while a server, WHO WATCHED ME WALK IN, completely IGNORED ME & disregarded my presence but had time to STOP BY THE hostess stand and talk about how she now weighed 122lbs with another server... whom also did not even once acknowledge me -- the other servers were actually busy serving and not cleaning, so I didn't expect them to stop and greet me. Once I spoke up about it, the hostess even tried to blame herself (she was in the back getting to go orders together and as soon as she saw me she stopped everything and came straight over) .. but I just want to say, EVERYONE is able to greet a customer at a restaurant, not just the hostess! *done ranting* Service: Hostess: pleasant and graceful, multitasking Server: Alex -- charismatic & attentive. Even though my entrance was less than welcoming, she didn't miss a moment to share a kitchen mistake with my table to make it right -- thank you Alex, for turning this 1star into a 4star! Food: Rainbow Roll: my go to, everything is always fresh and delicious with it and tonight the wasabi was extra crispy 10/10 Side of Steak: PERFECTLY COOKED & SEASONED, great for low-iron days! 10/10 Hate My In-laws Roll: tasty, different than what I usually order (prefer cold) but the salmon was perfectly flakey inside with just the right amount of cream cheese. The eggs on top, my bff wasn't a fan off but I love them -- nothing was over cooked or too greasy, might actually order this again! My only recommendation is that the sauce that comes with the honeymoon app be added on the side 8/10 Honeymoon App: not pictured because I always order it, eat it in 3 minutes, and it's always delicious! 10/10 Overall 8/10 recommend & if you try this place, encourage the servers to smile!

See all

Sumo was closed... so my friends and i had to do the next closest sushi place which was sushi dojo. they were busy... but not slammed. like, tables were still open. i get that they may have bee short staffed, but it took almost 30 minutes just to get our drinks... the sushi was good, but other then that it was awful. literally i got the salmon bento box, and salmon tasted just like chicken. and it sucks because salmon is my favorite. HIGHLY disappointed i spent $27 on this place... and they charge $1 if you pay with your card.. keep that in mind! owner claims it's posted everywhere, but who really reads the signs when you walk into a restaurant? and it's on the bottom of the receipt too, but in very tiny writing. advice to owner; maybe you should have your servers tell customers when using a card it'll charge them a $1 more. we won't be back. read more

Can't say enough good things about this place. Only get here about twice a year and always make it a point to eat here. Amber my server made it even better. She's a keeper. I ordered a couple rolls and got them in short order. Not sure who comes up with the names but the crazy ex-girlfriend was my favorite. I ended up ordering one more roll and Amber brought it also. She left me alone what was very talkative engaging when she did come by. It was early on a Thursday when I was there so not much of a crowd. Wonderful place. Would recommend to anyone. I have the regular nigiri Sushi the last time and it was just as good. read more

The food was not fresh. Tasted like it had been stored for awhile and brought out of the cooler for several days in a row: long after it should have been taken to the dumpster. In particular the chicken and the egg roll tasted like they had begun the initial spoiling process. I threw out half of it. I ordered the Chicken Bento box which would have been a great deal if the food was fresh. For trying to save a few bucks by selling old food they lost my business for the long term. read more

This place is kinda a mess. The women's bathroom door was jammed and the doorknob was turned every which way, and so I went to the men's. I ordered a California roll, and the crab seemed to be loaded with some kind of cream cheese or mayonnaise like substance, which you can only eat so much of. Finally, I ordered HIBACHI chicken with fried rice. But when it got here, it was absolutely drenched in sauce. And the sauce was incredibly sweet, and definitely not traditional hibachi from which I usually order. I ordered fried rice and chicken, not soup. Please tone down the sauce, Sushi Dojo, and clean up your restrooms. read more

I called in a order of 1 spicy tuna roll, 22 minutes ahead of time. I get there 20 minutes later and my one single sushi roll isn't even ready... seriously got to be kidding me! There was only 3 tables eating in. One of the waitresses walked by me twice and smelled like nasty skunk weed, yeah like she stepped outside for a second to get a hit. Anyways the sushi tasted awful, tasted like the rice used was old. There was 65% more cucumber in the roll than actual tuna. The seaweed was stale, so all in all it tasted like crap and wasn't worth nothing near $7.95 for that single roll. Keep in mind this is my first time eating here. I definitely wouldn't ever recommend to come here for sushi. Oh and I never ever thought I would ever say this, but sushi from ingles is way better than this crap. One last negative, get legit Kikkoman sushi soy sauce for Togo customers not that cheap Chinese Togo soy sauce. read more

Can't speak to all the bad experiences others have had. It's always busy when I go. I however really like this place. I've gone at least 7 or 8 times in the past couple of years. I like to go heavy on the appetizers. The gyoza are good but my favorite is the tempura. The portion of tempura is large (you can get veggie or shrimp). They have a pretty good selection of draft beers including Kirin Ichiban. I have admittedly not ventured through the menu much. We like the tuna roll and the crunch roll. The staff is fast and friendly. Not sure about the charging for water thing because I always drink hot tea or beer. All I know is that if you crave Tempura, go to Sushi Dojo and you won't be disappointed. read more

On the way Charlotte, hoping to avoid stopping at Taco Bell or Bojangles, I noticed Sushi Dojo beckoning to me in a small strip mall. I swung into the center with hope - yes, I was about to avoid fast food on a trip to Charlotte. I should have kept driving. The server was great, no problems there. The dish I had, was, well, sort of funky. I got the Korean tacos, and the texture and temperature were a little off. The sauces were pretty good though, and I forged ahead and ate them anyway due to that convenient cloak. My point: I think I got one of the misses described by others. I try everything twice, so I'd still probably give them another shot. read more

The service is horrible. We have seen this place go from busy to empty. We had a call in a few weeks ago and took over 1 hour to pick it up. There were only 3 tables with people. So could not understand the problem. Saw many walk out. Fast forward to tonight. Trying again. Called in order, she said "hold on a sec". Laid down the phone & I was forgotten. Hung up after 15 mins tried to call back, line busy. The owner really needs to hire competent employees. I called sumo sushi & that is where we will be going from now on.

We finally decided to give Sushi Dojo a try and we really enjoyed it. The server was great - she was nice, attentive, and helpful. They have a good selection of draft beers. We had the sushi sampler and the Korean tacos. The sushi was good, but the Korean tacos were great! The menu described the Korean tacos as their take on LA food truck cuisine - I think they did a great job adding a creative choice to their menu.

I think the wait staff has good intentions, but if the place is busy, you will sit there for 90 minutes waiting for the most simple order to be fulfilled by the kitchen, assuming you even get everything you ordered. I would be encouraged if I planned to open a restaurant in Gaffney that offered a slightly more upscale experience and made a menu with more than Chinese, Mexican and meat-and-three. The demand is there, maybe too much demand.

I called & l/m 5 days ahead & the owner clearly states what times are available each day that week since they only have 5 tables. The owner called me back within an hour & confirmed our reservation. From the moment we walked in, we were warmly greeted by the owner & she immediately wished us a Happy Anniversary & had 2 roses in a vase for us to keep. Very romantic & quiet setting. The Bibb salad with the soy & Yuzu dressing was delicious & so fresh! We had the smoked salmon roll, steamed lobster roll & tuna tataki and all were delicious! This husband & wife team restaurant is a hidden gem (it's tucked in a plaza behind a gas station, so at night, it may be easy to miss!). If you're a sushi lover & will be in Hickory, call in advance & make your reservation! We are already looking forward to our next visit in the spring when our daughter's lacrosse team plays LR!

Granted, the restaurant was busy, however we expected our table to be ready around 7:30. This was our first time here, so we did not know how they ran the establishment. We got the all you can eat menu, but no one explained how anything worked/addressed our table until 10-15 minutes later. Everyone gets their own AYCE paper menu, however be sure to coordinate with your party on how many menu items are being ordered. We had to pay an extra fee for taking home our leftovers, but I do think the server could have confirmed with our table first before putting in all of our paper orders and letting us have an abundance of food. I believe there is a better system for AYCE than this. Service was a 0/10. In regard to the food, sushi was mid at best. The raw salmon was mushy, hibachi steak was mushy, and overall just mushy. For the price that we paid, we expected more premium food than this. Honestly, the only good and memorable food were surprisingly the french fries and yellow tail jalapeño appetizer Food was 1/10, presentation was 5/10. There is 100% better sushi than this within 30 minutes away. You're better off buying from the grocery store. I DONT recommend getting the mackerel either. For a Japanese cuisine restaurant, we could tell this was not authentic. We were there from 7:30 up until closing, in which they deliberately were trying to rush us out by turning off the lights and not even giving my brother a birthday celebration. They just hurriedly handed him a plain bowl of vanilla ice cream and explained how they "usually put a chocolate drizzle and whipped cream on it." I had to start singing happy birthday myself for the whole restaurant to join along. Then the server unashamedly came back to sing with us as if she was there the whole time... All in all, I DO NOT recommend coming here for AYCE sushi and I don't think you guys know what a bad day really is. I don't even want to look at sushi ever again.

Our server was sweet, but when asked which ramen she recommended, she said she'd never tried any, but told us the most popular ones. I really think servers should eat the food they're selling or at least try it so they know what it's truly like. She was otherwise a good server. Atmosphere could use a little warmth, but the furniture was nice and looked brand new. I chose the Spicy Maki combo (spicy salmon, spicy tuna and yellowfin sushi) and had miso soup with it. Soup was yummy, although the seaweed pieces were a bit big. Sushi was fresh and yummy. My husband had the Shoyu ramen with pork and really enjoyed it. It came with a ladle that was a bit awkward, but I gave him the soup spoon from my soup after he used a fork to eat the noodles and other chunky ingredients. He enjoyed it, but thought it could use a bit more flavor. House sake is a great deal! We will definitely be back. I look forward to trying some specialty rolls next time!

Despite being a tight spot with a lot of tables in a small space, the vibe here is good. I don't think my son would try it again but I would, and I would order something different. Prices are very fair! Overall, recommended. Might need a few visits to figure out what works for you in regards to food.

It was just lettuce and I didn't finish it. Otherwise, the meal was on point and the prices were fair. Service was fantastic. I will say they didn't provide a dish for soy sauce and that was odd so I ended up just trying to put it on my plate which wasn't ideal. But other than that and the salad, this was a great sushi experience. It also appears as though they have a drive thru and that's pretty cool!

Never ever considered stopping for food here because getting through the city on 74 is tough enough as time seems to stand still here because no one, and I mean no one is moving quickly here. As the current situation is Shelby is now the half way point from my our home to where my daughter and grandson moved 1 1/2 hours away. Tuesday night we made the trek to pick up the grand for a sleep over, meeting half way at The Creekside Clock for dinner. In the entry way there is a sign stating that food is made to order so please be patient. OK. We got plenty of patience. Walk up to the counter and place your order, HUH??? Can I take a look at a menu? Sure, put on your glasses and read from the menu board. Sorry! I wasn't prepared for that. Menu looks great. There is a lot of variety and daily specials. We placed 3 separate orders, probably the first mistake as we were all sitting together, just not paying together. I am not a fan of paying before you get your food. Tip? What am I tipping? We sit with our little numbers on sticks at our table and a waitress comes to review our tickets and bring our drinks. So far so good. Ok now we wait. I can see the kitchen window and there are 6 heads in view and they appear to be super busy prepping and getting out the food. Apparently that wasn't the case. First order arrives, baked potato and chicken sandwich looks yum! A side salad was also delivered. A good bit later my meatloaf and fiancé's combination seafood plate and the grands shrimp. All looks good, alas, there is nothing on my plate that is even warm. I Asked if they had a microwave they could reheat my plate, it was that cold. Found out also that the chick sandwich and potato that was delivered first was not warm either. Still waiting on a steak and steak tips at this point everyone else was pretty much done with their food. The steak was good, again the potato cold. I am really shocked by all of the good Google reviews for this place. Although the menu looks nice. For them to boast that food is made to order, and not even serve the food warm along with the horrible execution, this was a one and done for us!
