Pulled up on a Friday evening with my frisbee boys and it was pretty quiet- more people seemed to be doing take out rather than eating in. You order at the counter, and there aren't servers. However, the service was great! The owner was a personable guy and gave us free drinks. He also brought the food out to us outside. Food itself was okay- got the hibachi chicken and shrimp. Presentation definitely wasn't wonderful, but neither was the food. I was surprised that they didn't have any greens on the platter and the carrots were way too sweet. Pricing was on the more expensive side. read more

2.5 rating. I was hesitant to try this place based on other reviews. It was decent at best. Large menu to pick from - and a bit overwhelming. The roles were cut haphazardly and did not look appetizing at all. The salmon avo was pretty good though and tasted fresh. The yellowtail lacked flavor and had huge chunks of warm fish throughout (not great) This place was pretty pricey, compared to others in the area. For 2 rolls this was $22. Yikes! The highlight of the night was the very friendly, helpful, high energy employee at the front. He was great :) read more

Good, Not Great SPECIALS: Went on Wednesday because their website advertises bogo sushi. When we arrived and asked about it, we were told that was pre-covid, the website hadn't been updated. The correct specials were posted on the window. FOOD: Ordered hibachi chicken and shrimp, Huntersville Roll and New York, New York rolls. My mom ordered a spicy tuna roll. Chicken in hibachi chicken wasn"t good but the rest of the hibachi was. Our rolls were quite large and tasted good. The spicy tuna roll was small and had a strange tasting red sauce on top - wouldn't order again. AMBIANCE: Very basic inside, was empty, rolls come on a large tray, everything else is in styrofoam. Maybe better for to go. PRICE: $45 before tip for the two rolls and hibachi not bad, but more than I expected because they didn't have their advertised bogo deal. SERVICE: The man who I assume was the owner was nice and our food was prepared within 10 minutes. read more

Our family likes their Chris rolls and C3 rolls, and they have the best sweet carrots! Our favorite, though, is the gyoza. Fantastic! The owner is always very friendly. It's a regular spot for us for takeout. read more

I saw a previous review that said they have the sweet glazed carrots so I checked it out for lunch. Place looked nice on the outside but be damned on the inside. Homie working the front, can you say hello when someone walks in? Can you not be so short and terse? This is a place where you get it to-go. Chose to dine in and was thinking things would come out on plates...WRONG.....gave us our food in togo boxes. No big deal. Entire restaurant was a mess honestly. Sticky tables, shrimp sauce was being portioned in the back of dining room but was just left sitting out for God knows how long. Terse guy at the front at some point ended up back there portioning out more sauces. Do you not have a prep space in the back? Their doordash/uber tablets all sit out in the already small dining room. Just a disorganized location. The food waa quick, the food was hot. Nothing wow about it. Chicken was good, shrimp sauce was iight, rice was good. It satisfied my craving for hibachi but i don't think I'll go back. I've had better hibachi and there is in CLT 5.3/10 final rating Food 4/5 Atmosphere: 1/5 Service: 3/5 read more

Hands down best teriyaki chicken in the area for the price! Also cannot beat that lunch special!

sushi was really great last time, got the same order and the eel had tons of bones in it and the tuna tasted old with hard rice. i just threw it out. i personally wouldnt order again. read more

The price is great! The food was good and the amount of food for the price was good. I will definitely go back.

Sushi is average. Prices are fairly-decent considering the previous. However, there a few staff members that should not be representing that business. There is a tall disheveled-looking manager that is constantly sweating and rushing everything from your order to other order so that he is dripping sweat on the Togo bags. There was also a blonde hair sushi maker female who was extremely rude and about forgetting tempura flakes, even yelling over the owner with rude remarks. For an average sushi place, I would suggest getting your customer service improved , especially in Huntersville - where as we grow there will be alternatives locally to this location. read more

Quick lunch stop, sushi was excellent! So many to choose from. You can get a roll loaded up with tons of flavor, a simple roll, or a roll served hot! I had the warm chicken teriyaki one and I should've stopped there before it was a big roll! Definitely worth the money based on size! Great location as well & can't wait to go back! Thank you staff for getting my order right and for quick service!! read more

Well this was a terrible decision on my part. I wish I would have believed all the awful reviews. I hate leaving bad reviews but this one was a must. I had the seaweed salad and Joanny roll. The salad was disgusting. It smelled awful and was warm. I just threw away. The sushi roll was edible but in no way was it actually good. I won't be back. read more

I ordered the Rat Pack Roll and Shrimp Tempura Roll. I was fine with not being able to get the special when I called in even though it was Friday but I wasn't expecting to pay $25 for these two rolls. $7.50 for Shrimp Tempura and $15.75 for basically the same roll with a small piece of eel put on top. An updated online menu would be helpful... read more

Good hibachi and quick service ! The portion are a good size for the value and fresh ingredients There are not a lot of tables for dining inside but plenty of outside tables read more

Small establishment but the food is so good. Fast and easy to order online and even in person.

This is a great little sushi spot with, almost always, consistent quality. I would only recommend going on Wednesday and Friday though, as those are the days that they do buy one get one sushi rolls. The sushi is great, and my go-to rolls are the Morhmann, Juan, and Fall Season rolls. I love that you can grab a bottle of eel sauce and bring it to your table. And I also love the baskets on each table with napkins, chopsticks, sauce cups, and soy sauce. The staff is a bit lacking, not super friendly. And the food takes a bit to come out typically, but we don't mind since we enjoy the laid back atmosphere. This place won't revolutionize sushi for you, but definitely a super solid choice if you're in the area on a Wednesday or Friday. read more

Sushi Star - Juan Roll, Mohrmann Roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Huntersville, North Carolina

After getting a haircut close by, it was lunchtime and I was hungry so I was on the fence between sushi or salad...sushi won out so I placed an order online. Kept it simple and ordered the fried California roll (called Francesca) and accompanied it with an order of fried chicken and veggie dumplings (Gyoza). Notification said 15-35 minutes. When I walked in about 25 minutes later my order was ready and waiting and a pleasant person behind the register handed me a styrofoam cup with a lid and sealed straw to fill myself at the drink fountain dispenser. While it was a sunny spring day, it was windy so I opted to sit inside and enjoy my lunch. Fried dumplings were nice and crispy, not overly greasy and still a good temperature. The traditional Gyoza sauce had an unexpected spiciness that detracted from the dumplings so after a few tries, I skipped. The Fried California Roll was tasty and the outside was a fried crispy coating but rather than a batter coating, it was more similar to a cornflakes coating. It tasted okay with that coating and it wasn't greasy. The rice seemed unusually large for sushi rice and it crumbled more easily than expected. The other fillings also slipped out easily from their surrounding rice enclosure. Because of the larger sized rice the entire roll was bigger than expected and while it was sliced after frying, the pieces were too big for a single bite and because the oversized rice also didn't stick together well, once you bit one piece in half, the remaining portion promptly began to slip apart. Overall, messiness aside, I thought it tasted fine. They didn't automatically include sliced ginger (or wasabi) which are traditionally served with sushi but fortunately, since I was still eating there, I was able to go up to the counter and ask for ginger which was readily provided. If I were to ever eat here again, I'd want to remember to ask for it in advance.... But, it's unlikely I will ever return. In less than an hour after eating this lunch, I began experiencing intestinal issues (not stomach related, no nausea). My intestines were grumbling and cramping for the next 15-25 minutes, followed initially by gas...that eventually led to an unexpectedly urgent drive home. After a prolonged visit down the hall, I managed to resume my remaining errands without further interruptions. Needless to say, I can only speculate that something was either spoiled or cross-contamination occurred in the food preparation area. Either way, it's unlikely I'll be having a craving for sushi from this place, or anywhere else, anytime soon. read more

My son and I were walking around waiting on a drop off from Kid to kid and we decided to stop in sushi star and grab some boba teas. I got the taro milk tea and it was amazing and my son loved his as well! It's the best boba tea we have had in a long time from anywhere between Mooresville & huntersville! read more

Honestly one of the best Sushi places I have been to in a while. Food was delicious, the owner Sunny has been there 12 years and he has such a passion for what he does. There was so many great options on the menu, I couldn't decide but the staff recommended the volcano tuna roll and it didn't disappoint. Great spot for lunch or dinner. Definitely will be coming back. read more

Small, small place. Unfortunately my first time eating here was a huge disappointment, especially for the price we paid. We ordered online, and set a time to go pick it up. When we got there to pick it up, it was sitting in a bag ready to go. We got out to the car and realized we were missing an entree. We went back in, and 3 more sets of customers were in front of us. After waiting for all sets to order, we told them and they didn't believe us After showing them the receipt, they decided they would make a big batch of it because apparently other people ordered it too. So after waiting for it to be cooked, we finally get our food and head home. We opened it up, the gyoza's were soggy, the sushi roll was practically falling apart, and the one hibachi meal (that was the first one) was so bland the broccoli didn't even have color, and the only good thing about the second hibachi, the one we had to wait on, was the carrots. I'm so disappointed as the previous reviews were decent. read more

Good sushi and great deals. Buy one get one sushi rolls on Wednesday and Friday all day. Daily lunch special $5 for hibachi or teriyaki chicken. To go service can be frustrating during lunch hours especially on Wednesday and Friday. Call in early and double check your order. read more

Sushi Star - Crunchy chicken and crunchy shrimp roll! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Huntersville, North Carolina

At 2 PM on 2/22/24 I ordered a Rainbow Roll. We all know what that is, right? California roll covered in tuna, Yellowtail and Salmon. "Covered" being the operative word. I invite you to google "Rainbow Roll" and look at anything that comes back. What you will see looks just like the photo of it on Sushi Star's menu. I invite you to compare what you can find on Google, or even Sushi Star's own menu with the photograph attached here. This cost me $11.45 plus tax. This is not a budget price, so I am not expecting a budget roll. I tipped up front $5.00 because the place was deserted and she was by herself. What you see in the photo was what she brought me after being tipped half the cost of the food she made. I brought it back, explained how lame this was, showed her the photo on her own menu and asked how she thought this compared? Her only response was "I'm sorry Sir." No offer to make it right and at that point I was too pissed to ask as that was even more lame than being brought this rip off in the first place. To the owners of Sushi Star: CONGRATULATIONS! You managed to save about $1.50 food cost on me today, I have eaten there in the past but NO MORE, and I am advising-with evidence- that people steer clear of you. How much are you losing just from me not coming back alone? STEER CLEAR OF THIS RIP OFF SPOT. read more

First time in the owner was there and was accommodating to a gluten allergy. No tempura flakes and changed the plastic wrap when rolling. I left happy and planned on becoming a regular. Second visit was told they were "short staffed" ok. I placed my order and walked up the block to shop for groceries. Just over a half an hour later showed thinking dinner would be ready. The woman that ordered after me was walking out with hers. My order was never started? Money had to be returned and left me trying to figure out what to have for dinner? Third visit basically the same thing they had 45 minutes to make the order and never started it! Was just short of hangry even spoke to the owner. One of the employees who took the order left me shaking my head. She thought not to make the order because and I kid you not "that rice has gluten in it". Once again on a day off was left to figure out what to do about dinner? Two weeks in a row time was wasted coming here. Food was paid for and not made or made incorrectly. Last visit the same, getting home found no ginger, wasabi or even soy sauce. Again refund, no apologies and wasted time left scrambling for dinner. read more

Sushi Star - Crunchy roll and spider roll. Disgusting - Sushi Bars Near Me - Huntersville, North Carolina

Stopped in here for lunch after checking Yelp for sushi spots in the area. This place was doing a decent take out business, but there were also a few seats inside to dine-in. I ordered the spicy tuna roll and some other roll with tuna, avocado, cream cheese and cucumbers. Both of them were fresh and looked tasty. Honeslty, they were decent, and I think I should have looked at more of their crazier rolls than the ones I chose. I usually get spicy tuna everywhere and use that as my base for sushi spots, and this one wasn't anything special or warranting a trip back, but it was good. Same with the other roll, it was good, but had a lot of cream cheese in it. Definitely would come back to this spot when in the area, I would just try some different rolls next time. read more

Judging by the incompetence of the people working I would not recommend eating here. I had a very simple order, directly off of the menu with no substitutions or special request. I had to explain the order at least three times to the person working and when it was ready it was still wrong. I was so mad I left without even taking the food hat I had already paid for. Do yourself a favor and go across the street to Yoshi's Grill as I did. read more

Best lunch special in the area! $5 hibachi/teriyaki chicken special - EVERYDAY! Today, I lucked up for the BOGO sushi! #Winning Great portions! Extremely good price! The space is a little small; however, can still work for lunch with co-workers, friends, and/or family. I wish there was one near my house because take-out is pretty quick, too. The waiter is polite. He mentioned just starting with the Restaurant within the past few weeks so you won't have to worry about poor customer service. Luckily my fiancé works not too far away. He hates sushi, but loves hibachi - while I LOVE both. This will be our frequent lunch date spot. I'm winning all around! read more

My favorite neighborhood sushi spot. The bogo deals are great! The sushi is always fresh and the staff is very nice and helpful. It's small on the inside so it's usually best to get it to go. My favorite is the rainbow roll but I look forward to working my way through the other rolls. read more

Stopped by Sushi Star last night...second visit. Had a to-go order of sushi, noodles and gyoza. The shrimp tempura is a family favorite and it was great! The chicken crunchy roll was a Tuesday special...and the combination of chicken, cream cheese deep fried with crunchies was very good. Everybody loved it. The gyoza....dumplings filled with chicken and veggies was also very very good. The stir fried noodles [almost angel hair thin...but a little thicker], had vegetables and chicken...simply amazing! I must go back again...later this week! read more

You're kind of getting two reviews for the price of one. I went to get a haircut next door, but it was a 20-minute wait. So, I hit up Sushi Star. Unfortunately, I didn't see the sign on the window for the Lunch Special when I walked in, which would have saved me $5 or so, and I wasn't informed about it when I ordered, but the girl behind the counter was friendly, and I should have paid more attention. With all the Teriyaki and Hibachi, I wasn't sure what to get. Teriyaki Chicken? Teriyaki Steak? Hibachi Chicken? Hibachi Steak? With rice or noodles? I went with Teriyaki Chicken with noodles. It was good. It didn't blow my mind, but it was a solid performance. Also, sitting outside on a nice day was pretty cool (and pretty warm). When I got my haircut, the lady giving me the haircut said she usually gets the Hibachi Chicken. When I asked if she liked it, she shrugged and said, "It's okay." I'll update this review after trying the Teriyaki Steak, Hibachi Chicken, and Hibachi Steak. read more

I frequent this restaurant. I love their sushi, especially the B1G1 Free specials on Wednesdays. however, I went in one Wednesday evening recently and saw they had a new employee. This person was not friendly at all. She was chomping on either food or a piece of gum when I entered and paid for my food. She didn't greet me, no how are you doing... Honestly I'm not sure she said two words to me. I've never had an issue with the other associates. They remember my name, my order, how I always like to have extra sauce, etc. The food is still great! I just like great service too :) read more

We came in here on a Thursday and checked into yelp. Once I showed the owner the deal of half off rolls on Wednesday and Friday, he said he would honor that deal anyway since it was our first time! We got gyoza and 3 fancier rolls and it totaled about $20. We will definitely come back on Wednesdays or Fridays! It's not the cleanest place ever, but the fish tasted amazing for the price. read more

Great rolls but so much rice on them! No spent half the time taking the rice off than eating. Tuna and salmon could be a little fresher as well. The best roll was the Hot Guy, no cream cheese...very spicy if you love spicy food. A little overpriced but not bad for a quick lunch stop on weekdays or during the weekends. read more
