As many times as I've hung out in the epicenter in Uptown Charlotte, I was kinda of shocked at myself I hadn't made my way into this place sooner (especially if you knew how deep my love for sushi is) But I was able to slide in the door right as happy hour was ending (4-7pm Mon-Fri if you want to catch some good specials) But the waiters at the bar were nice enough to let me have a Pound Cake Martini at the special price (very unique taste to say the least but I swallowed it right on down) I had already made up my mind before I arrived that I was going to have the Sunshine Roll (krab tempura,cream cheese,ebi shrimp, cucumber, topped w/ smoked salmon & avocado finished w/ apple aioli sauce) as it seemed right down my ally for tastes and what I'm comfortable spending on sushi ($14).  The service was efficient considering it was starting to pick up on a Friday evening and even though I wasn't helped directly by one, they had more than one waitress\\hostess that was easy on the eyes(single guy observation)The sushi was top notch and I took my sweet little time devouring my 8 piece plate. I had a fellow bachelor join me after I finish my meal so I sat with him and he was kind enough to order up some hot sake & rock shrimp (yummy appetizer 2 folks could easily share) I forget what he had for the main course but it looked tasty and he even managed to same room for some fried cheesecake desert. Overall, if you combine the ambience with the food, it's a nice upscale choice if you want to be in the thick of the action uptown. Is it the best sushi in town? I still give the crown to The Cow Fish just because there overall variety and quality is in a class by itself.  Still one of the best in town by far, but certainly not a budget place to come dine in. Bring $30-60 (per peson) if you plan on having at least one alcoholic beverage, an appetizer and a meal. But if you're ready to splurge a bit, you will be in for a nice treat!
