Cool Fish LKN

We had a birthday party of 15+ people on a Thursday night! Jenna was our waitress, probably the best waitress I have ever had for a big party!! She did several things that made our night special...1) None of us ever went without a drink.2) She took our drink order and appetizer order (delivered them); then took our dinner orders and delivered them in order!!! She didn't mess up one time!!! Very impressive with that many people and we are not the easiest group!Jenna was very professional and always had a smile. Food was delicious!! Couldn't have had a better evening!!Thank you Jenna & Cool Fish for a wonderful birthday party! I definitely recommend!!!

Not sure I would call this a sushi place so much as a mid-tier Japanese fusion brew pub that feels a little bit like a strip mall place... Which it is.Ambience is casual...loud music, bar as the centerpiece of the restaurant. We were in with a relatively large group and were delighted they could accommodate us. The service was friendly and attentive and helpful and generally really really good. Menu has a variety of appetizers, only some of which I would think about as being Japanese, and did not have a typical breadth variety that you would expect from a sushi joint. That said, the hot chicken wings and the barbecue ribs were quite good, and, of course, there was edamame...Entrée choice is varied from poke bowls to Ramen to a long list of maki and a surprisingly limited selection of nigiri and sashimi.Interesting and varied cocktail menu, and a nice selection of beers on draft as you would expect from what feels like a brew pub. Only six wines available, all on tap! That said, they were fine given where we were and what we expected.Perhaps I'm disappointed because I was looking for more of a traditional sushi place with more variety. Cool Fish is perfectly serviceable, but remember it's not really a sushi restaurant.

Great food and service. I had the grilled chicken Asian bowl, wife had the shrimp bowl, son had the beef bowl all was great. We started with a squid salad it was the best I've ever had. Oh not to forget our waiter Max, he was great. We ate lunch there on Sunday. The music was a little loud for me but over all we enjoyed the experience.

Cool Fish is a funky restaurant with tons of choices, like the loaded spring rolls with spicy crab or the gorgeous Pink Lady roll which is a huge hit. I loved how jam packed with veggies, egg and pork belly the ramen is and the sizzling Korean Short Ribs were a show stopper and oh so flavorful. The Gochujang wings were super crispy and perfectly sauced. I'm a big fan of poke and the Hawaiian Poke Bowl didn't disappoint. Everything was fresh and bright. I would be remiss if I didn't mention the amazing cocktails offered! Mona's Painkiller was tropical, sweet and just gorgeous. Another Juan was a fun take on the traditional smoked old fashioned. Both were delicious and rivaled trendy city cocktail bar drinks. Something you don't see everywhere are the Hemp Botanicals they offer which are zero calories.

Everything we tried was great. I had pork belly bao & two kinds of nigiri. (My friend had spring rolls & fish tacos.) $6 prosecco on draft! Next time we plan to order the Korean short ribs. The table next to us had them: they came out on a sizzling platter, & looked/smelled DIVINE!Also plan to try the potstickers next time: duck & cream cheese, say WHAT?!?!?

I've never thought of sushi as bland, but it generally was so bland somehow. It was also quite pricey

This fun spot is tucked away in a shopping center in Cornelius. It's packed on a Saturday afternoon and this was our second visit - the first time we came was the end of 2022 and it was packed then too. Th food is good and the music is great. Both times they've had a dj on deck which is really nice. I tried the Korean short ribs both times and both times I wanted the appetizer all to myself. They are delicious. Perfectly seasoned and perfectly charred - they come out sizzling hot on a cast iron dish with onions and peppers OMG. I had sushi as my entree both times and that was good too, but those short ribs! They take the cake. Prices are reasonable and menu is extensive.

Love the Vibes. Small Place with Big Personality.Bartenders are AWESOME! Very friendly and tentative! 10 out of 10.Food is 7 out of 10.Pink Lady Roll added jalapeño and cream cheese the tuna was a little to mushy for my liking in my sushi rolls. But GREAT presentation!!!! May need more shrimp less tuna.The Korean Short Ribs 5 out of 10 as I like my authentic ones on the bone but flavor was good and texture was good too. To many Onions! Came out on a cool sizzling tray! Presentation GREAT! Prices 10 out of 10. $$

Not what I was expecting! I walked in and it was pretty loud. There wasn't a host stand but someone was needed to seat me. I opted for a seat outside which made the volume level much better. I really enjoyed my drink and appetizer of the Not So Typical Potstickers (probably should have ordered a 2nd one). I got the Green Devil Roll which had the perfect amount of spice.

not JUST great food and drinks... but the service and employees is what makes this restaurant truly amazing. specifically, hayden, kaylee, and vanessa... have been absolute best friends to me, as a regular. they go above and beyond for every single customer. and deserve so much praise. ALSO!!! the music? the DJ's? this is the only place in the area that is open late, that has quality food and service. enough said. come asap. if i could give 10 stars, i would.
