I started coming to Ishi 14 years ago when it was on the other side of the shopping center. The quality of food and friendliness of staff has never waivered. Amazing food for the price!
We came yesterday after taking the kids to a trampoline park. The service was excellent. The food was excellent. We will definitely be back
The wait staff was very friendly and nice. I couldn't say enough nice things about them. The sushi was really fresh a tasted great! I would definitely recommend the shrimp and chicken! It was really good!
I loved the rice paper substitution option for the sushi! I'll be back just for that! The udon noodles were great too! The service was good and pretty fast.
Was near my hotel so thought I'd check it out. Absolutely loved my visit here. Waitress was very nice and helpful. I don't go to many sushi places and was not real familiar with things. I ended up ordering two different sushi rolls, some soup and wontons. A lot but wanted to try different stuff. All of it was fantastic. I enjoyed everything. There were two different large birthday groups but the place was still basically quiet and had a relaxed atmosphere. If staying in Charlotte again, I'll look forward to coming back.
Love love love this place.
I've tried sushi all over Charlotte , and though there are some great places Uptown, I think they are overpriced. I've also tried the other Ishi location, and it wasn't as good as the University one.
Ishi's Fuji Mountain and Spicy Tuna rolls are my favorites. Their presentation is beautiful and their staff is attentive, quick, and cordial.
And their price is totally fair.
Ishi University is our go-to place when ever we ate in the mood for a fresh, quick, tasteful dinner.
Good food. This was some of the better fast jap. food in the univ area i was impressed when i went to this realitivly small restraunt the staff is friendly not my top pick but nothing the matter with it
Great place. The food was tasty. I usually order take-out so eating inside a restaurant was a nice experience especially since it was my first time. The next time I'm in Charlotte I will go back.
I always get Chicken Hibachi and fried gyoza. Great value and tasty too!
I had the green mountain roll, V3 roll, and sea weed salad with hot green tea. It was all pretty good. They have a full menu with all the usual habachi dishes and other things if you don't like sushi.
Best hibachi in Charlotte, hands down! Ishi has been a favorite of ours for ages, even when it was in the strip mall. They still have quality food at great prices. This time around we got the Panther Roll, the mixed hibachi vegetables, and chicken/steak hibachi. The chicken wasn’t too dry, and was yummy as always. The steak was cooked just how we liked it, medium rare as ordered. The Panther Roll was amazing! Definitely appreciated the extra sauce on the side of the sushi. It’s a 40 min drive to Ishi for us, but WELL worth it!
Also, I can’t write an Ishi review without mentioning the carrots. I could survive off these things. SO good!!
Order the Chirashi and California roll. The salmon was very fresh and succulent. The roll was delicious as well. I am definitely making this my go to place for express sushi!
Online ordering was easy and convenient. Take out only at this restaurant currently which is great to me. Glad to know they are still doing take out. My order was ready on time, fast, friendly, safe service. Food was delicious and fresh.
Been coming to Ishi for years. This area’s best kept little secret. Folks are always super friendly, service and food are always fast and fresh, and the prices are very fair, and plus it reliably tastes fantastic! Speaking of fantastic - the Fantastic Roll is superb.
We had smoked salmon fried sushi roll which was really delicious & hibachi shrimp fried rice which I never had before. Taste was good but probably will ask them not to put that carrots next time.
Nobody checked if we need anything or how was food. Customer service could be improved.
Good atmosphere with reasonable price.
I've been going for a few years now, and the service and food is always great. I typically do take out, and again, always love it. Orders are ready quickly (typically 15 minutes) and I've never had an incorrect item.
We have been coming here for years, and it has never felled once, they know us by last name and know our sauce preferences. Ishi is our favorite Japanese spot in Charlotte.
I came for a birthday dinner for a friend and the service was excellent. Our server Chan was attentive, hospitable and had the best attitude. The food came out in a timely fashion and it was delicious. The hibachi shrimp sauce is the best that I have had anywhere. I recommend coming if you like good hibachi and sushi.
I thoroughly enjoy Ishi's Hibachi dishes. Today I ordered the Hibachi Veggie to-go since their doing room is still closed...and I'm okay with that. They're following COVID protocol. My good is always hot and ready. It's so much food, enough for two meals! Added extra onions and side of noodles. Yum!
Love their hibachi. I’m picky with my hibachi spots and this one is one of my favorites. Food is very consistent and service is fast. No dine in, it appears the dining room is used for storage. Must’ve happened due to covid.
