Sushiya Japan

I've been coming to Sushiya Japan for over 10 years, and it absolutely deserves more than 4 stars on Yelp. As someone who has been to sushi restaurants all across the U.S., I can confidently say this place consistently hits the mark every single time.The sushi here is incredibly fresh, and the portion sizes for the price are unbeatable. Their ginger dressing on the house salad is hands down the best I've ever had at any sushi restaurant--it's that good! While I can't speak to the non-sushi dishes, this is easily one of the top sushi spots in Charlotte.Sushiya is hands down better than Yama and Sushi 101 in terms of flavor, freshness, and consistency, and it offers more variety and options than Co.They also have an app and offer delivery if you live in the area, which is a great convenience. I have never had any issues with the service; the owners even know us by name since we've been coming here for as long as I can remember. Dining here always feels welcoming, like visiting family.Whether you're a sushi lover or just looking for an unforgettable dining experience, Sushiya Japan is the place to go. If you haven't been here yet, you're missing out on one of Charlotte's hidden gems! You have to try the sexy salmon roll with lemon on top or the drunken lobster!

I've been to this fusion joint several times in the past, and I always thought they were solid...but not exactly THE best Asian fusion in town.Well, I revisited them yesterday...and I was happily surprised with some changes. Despite being Korean-owned, they went more toward Japanese (less Korean), specializing more in sushi...with a huge sushi menu!Honestly, I was a bit skeptical (given that this seemed to be a Korean-owned business...I mean, they even play K-Pop overhead! However, I tried their "Magician Roll", and it was tremendous...as in Y-U-M!! Best of all, they were pretty generous with the toppings...namely, fish roe (which I love)! In other higher priced sushi restaurants, I've had much less satisfying sushi rolls with skimpy toppings of fish roe. Truly impressed with this sushi roll. I can't wait to go back and try other sushi rolls on their menu.I also tried their Shrimp Tempura...and though they were a tad heavily battered, they were super-crispy.I think they vamped up the furnishings as well (I could be wrong here?), but the place looked nicer.Another thing I love about this place is that it's open throughout the day...not with short, separate lunch and dinner hours. This is a rare thing with Japanese restaurants.Anyway, for once, I'm dropping 5 stars!

Expensive for no reason whatsoever. Hibachi shrimp was very skimpy. I read reviews just before my order but hoped someone in the area had good hibachi. Tiny portions as someone mentioned their meal could fit in their palm. $19 meal should have been $12-14. For $19 it should be double rice and doubled veggies. I was still hungry. The up side is the white sauce was more than enough. Restaurant was dark inside and service was ready to attend for your pickup.

Let's start with a good first. It's a nice interior, clean, restrooms, daily specials. Waitress was attentive and friendly. I enjoyed the Miso soup but the ginger salad dressing was too runny. I asked for extra wasabi and Sriracha and was very generous portions. Shrimp appetizer did not taste fresh and that became a theme as our meal progressed. Mixed vegetables had a funky taste and my roll was soggy. At least they had the tall Sapporo.

My mom absolutely LOVES this place so she and I come often lol. The lunch bento box is a great deal and has options for all types food pallets! There are sooooo many sushi options, but my servers have always been helpful recommending a tasty roll. Everything always comes out hot and/or fresh. It's quaint but also plenty of seating inside or at the sushi bar.

Stopped in for lunch . Menu has great variety and prices are good. We started with vegetable tempura. Followed by seaweed salad and house salad. Seriously the ginger dressing on house salad was sooooo good. Then we ordered a Drunken lobster roll and a Yakisoba Steak with noodles & vegetables. It was all just delicious.The entire meal was delicious. Service was excellent and I would say this is definitely a place to put in rotation!!! Two thumbs way up!

This restaurant has become a go to place for Sushi for our family. Every rolls have been delicious and I love the Chirashi here. Service is attentive most of the time.

Food was ok, service was terrible. We have been many times and I will say that there is consistency. The food is consistently ok and the service is consistently bad.

We've been coming to Sushiya frequently for the past 5 years averaging once a month. Why, because the ambiance is ok, the sushi has always been fresh, portions have always been plentiful and the service/staff have always been attentive, understanding, prompt, curious, and all around a pleasure. That said... Lately, the prices have risen (understandable) while the portions and roll sizes have shrunk. Yesterday I ordered an Entre of beef bulgogi. The plate normally comes with a mountain of beef. Now, It was so scarce, that I could see the bottom of the skillet. I could fit the entire portion in the palm of my hand. (edit) I forgot to mention that my entre was $21 :0 Not worth itMy daughter ordered an Alaska roll that came looking like she ordered a mini roll. The circumference was that of my thumb. She could easily fit 2 pieces in her mouth whereas before she struggled to fit one. My entre comes with a salad, rice, and soup. I didn't want to eat rice so I asked for extra salad. This is a plain salad with ginger dressing and management wouldn't allow it. Just ridiculous. I don't know if they're under new management or they were sold but we're done with them. Charlotte has no shortage of good sushi places. (the service staff is still amazing)

1st visit. Will be back again. So yummy. Great food, great service, clean restaurant (including restroom).
