Im highly pissed off about the sushi I purchased yesterday 😡.
Ishi’s must be under new management because the food was terrible taste.
This place use to be my regular spot for sushi but I will never return again for this mess! All bread no shrimp and the smallest pieces of crab meat.
If I wanted bread I would’ve went to Popeyes to get biscuits! It’s best to cook at home because these restaurants will serve you anything!!


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!!


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.
