The food was good and they have Gluten Free Soy Sauce :) I was a happy girl. We tried several rolls and the fish tacos. Everything was good, but the fish tacos come on flour, but she said you can ask for corn. 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

Idk what has happened with this place but we just drove 45 minutes to never even get waited on after sitting for 30 minutes and telling someone we had not been waited on. Didn't even get drinks read more

Sad. This place used to be good, now the service sucks. We sat there over an hour and never got the food. The lady said she was the Manager but she wasn't that good at serving so why would she be the manager. So we won't ever go there again. read more

Food is hit or miss, but the last three times I've been there the service has been horrible. I've always had to wait at least 30 minutes for my food, even if it's slow and they're completely staffed. I suggest eating somewhere else. read more

Best Sushi in NC. Hands down. The first sushi establishment in Shelby NC. Has over 80 rolls and has been here for 10 years. Nice hibachi and Thai selection. Korean tacos as well. Rolled ice cream and puffle cones available as well. read more

Long wait for food and terrible taste and texture of steak plates. Sushi was great, but will not return.

From Salmon Panang to Korean BBQ Tacos, this place has more than just sushi or hibachi. Lots to offer, cold drafts, and usually fast service. read more

Picture it, early 1930's Tokyo Japan and you are waiting for Dr. Indiana Jones to just walk in. This was my first time for sushi and it was awesome. The waitresses took the time explaining the differences in them. The service was great, food was awesome and the bathroom were super clean. read more

Good food, clean facilities and great customer service from entering the door to leaving. Skyler was absolutely the greatest always with a smile 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

My favorite place to eat. Great Sushi and Fish Tacos. I usually get the Cowboy roll and my wife gets the Bento box or steak/chicken fried rice. Everything is good. You gotta try it. We Love it. read more

All I wanted was some birthday sushi, but no Suhi Dojo dropped the ball .. I am used to the long wait time but the food and service usually makes up for it. Not today we sat for over 10 minutes for our server once we were sat only to watch people walk in and sit next us get service & drinks within 2 seconds.... literally these people had not even sat down and they had drinks on the way. read more

I have been going to this restaurant for years. But after my service tonight I will not be back. It took them and hour and a half to get me 4 sushi rolls to go. And then they only gave me one pair of chop sticks. They should not even try to do take out along with dine in because they can clearly not handle it. Also my bill was nearly $50. read more

Delicious food. The Japanese egg rolls are amazing! A lot of food for your money. The servers are always so nice and do a great job. I've never had anything less than amazing from here. The bento boxes are great! And the chicken fried rice comes in a perfectly formed huge scoop and it is very good. Highly recommend for sushi and Japanese read more

I was devastated to see the tables not 6 feet apart and none of the staff had masks on we didn't even sit down

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

I love it here. Best sushi on the east coast. Service is great. Food outstanding. I come here every week.

great sushi....best in Shelby ! Japanese is ok....pricey for some items and some sushi 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

Food was okay, service was great! Biggest issue is they charge $0.25 for a glass of tap water and will not negotiate! I have never paid for tap water anywhere. Owner/Manager was a jerk and i will never return to this location. 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

Disappointing. Not a place I'd go back to. Left to go get something good. The squid salad was especially icky.

Not my favorite place for sushi (although their sushi is good) but their panko battered salmon and curry is really good and their oyster friend rice is amazing. They do charge for water though, which is weird. I've been here numerous times (probably at least once a month since it opened) and have never had bad service one time. I always find Sushi Dojo a very fun place to eat, whether it's just my wife and I or a group of friends. read more

I love the food here, there lunch menu is so delicious they have a nice box lunch special which can fit any budget. the wait staff is very friendly and the manager has a selection of cool music, I can always pop in for lunch, listen to some Sting or some of my 80's favorite. the ambiance is cool and its in a really nice location, having relocated to Shelby this is very accessible to me, the menu is reasonably price and you can find something you like. read more

We love this place. Great atmosphere, and delicious menu options. Had an occasional mishap with service but only when they're super busy. I highly recommend sushi dojo!! read more

I had a bad experience personally. The waiter was nowhere to be found during my hour long meal that could have easily been a thirty minute meal if they were actually present. No silverware till I asked. One sushi roll was frozen and the other was piping hot, made it unpleasant to eat. read more

Good spot as always, fresh and very quick, great service, super friendly staff and always on point with their suggestions

This is one my favorite sushi places. We have been in the area for over 2 years and defiantly loving this place. Fresh Sushi! delusion food! 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. I'm hearing good things about sumo, better than dojo, better service. We have loved. Dojo for years, but we are done. The owner apparently cares less about his customers. read more

Terrible service. Almost like the place needs more employees.. sat for 30 minutes before they took our order and then we didn't get our food until another 40 minutes afterwards. On top of all that, the place wasn't even crowded. Went on a Thursday night. read more

I am not a HUGE fan of sushi, but this place has some great California rolls, everyone I have ever taken there has gone back and raved about how good it is. I am a fan personally of the bento box ( chicken) but think that about any of their food would be good. For those of you who drink they also have a nice selection of beer and sake . I give this restaurant 4 stars for what it is and what it has to offer shelby. read more

I've personally never had any issues. The staff is nice. Food is ready on time. Sushi is good. Prices are on par with most similar restaurants. read more

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. We went on a Monday evening and the place was fairly empty. Wife and I had two beers each plus our meals and our tab was about $40. read more

I like to go here quite often, however the service is always horrible. If it wasn't for the sushi being good I wouldn't bother ever going again. They always have an attitude or under staffed and your not treated like it's a sit down restaurant. It's like fast food with the same horrible service. read more

So I was invited by friend for lunch today at sushi dojo... I enter join the group and I'm met by a waiter " in a unpleasant voice what are you drinking.... me: yes do you have carbonated water? Waiter: No we have water water...... me : bite my tongue ..okay I'll have water no ice.... He return to table with glass of water overflowing everywhere sits the glass on the table ... without missing a beat he enquirers are you gonna order anything.... and I would love too however no one has offered me a Menu... but he stands there a stares... before I could open my mouth a coworker states he didn't get a menu.... waiter leaves table returns with a menu places it on table and leaves without a word....... that's my signal to leave.... hope they don't send the cops after me for not paying a quarter for the water water .... Won't, will not... ain't .. gonna return..... read more

Love this place. The only place I will eat Sushi. Wonderful Service and very friendly staff. The California roll is so good. I always get the Hibachi Chicken Bento box. Hibachi Chicken and rice with tempura shrimp, California roll and egg roll. Its so good!! read more
