Saku Yakitori Sushi - Charlotte

Ribeye Yakitori- $7 for 1 small skewer which was overcooked, too salty, and over sauced such that the flavor of the meat could not be appreciated. Presentation was nice Salmon, yellowtail, tuna toro sashimi- way overpriced for the smaller than average pieces given specifically the salmon and yellowtail pieces. The salmon was also still frozen in the center. The tuna toro pieces were good. Mildly silky single serve sake was served to me in a wine glass. This was a bit disappointing because it diminished the ambience and feeling of having a Japanese experience. It was also disappointing they did not make their sushi bar available. We were told they did not have one, but we could clearly see it on the first floor.

Absolutely phenomenal sushi experience. Their quality of fish stands above the rest. I especially love their salmon nigiri and sashimi. They have high quality service despite it being relatively busy for a weekend. A must-visit for any sushi lover!

$18 for two rolls of sushi, $1 worth of fish in those rolls. I'm genuinely appalled by how much they charge for their sushi vs the amount of fish you get. What a scam.

The Yakitori trumpet and oyster mushrooms that I ordered came out and they had cooled down to just over room temp when we got them. Service was really slow and it was hard to have a conversation with my date because the music was very loud. When we got our sushi I enjoyed mine and it was very fresh. My sashimi was really fresh and my spicy salmon roll was rolled very nicely and did not fall apart when I picked it up to eat it. Overall I had a 2 star experience because the service was extremely slow. We ended up waiting quite a long time to get our food and drinks and when we got the hot food it was no longer hot. The sushi was good though!

I came for dinner before a show at the Knight Theater. Unbeknownst to me it was St Patricks weekend. However with the crowd of people trying to get to the bars on the 3rd and 4th floor, it was a nice ambiance. Quick service, fairly priced rolls and drinks. The only downside for me was that there is only 1 bathroom on the second floor which created a line. I will be back!
