Had a great dinner with my wife and brother-in-law. Started with some beer and mixed drinks - fabulous especially the lemon drop martini. Then edimame and Unagi. Finished with sake, two specialty rolls - especially liked the Volcano and a 12 peice sashimi plate. Fabulous...food, great atmosphere, excellent waitstaff.More

My friend and I came to Yamazaru on our weekend trip. It was very busy so we were seated at the sushi bar which turned out pretty cool. The service took a while but we were understanding since it was a full house. The staff...was really nice and the sushi was phenomenal. I particularly enjoyed the Ichiban Roll. I can’t wait to come back.More

The food is a 5, the experience was a 3. Visit was on a busy Thursday night - maybe busier than they expected and that is the reason for the very slow service. Say at bar to wait for table and bartenders didn’t show much...interest in us. After being sat at table, waiter took over ten minutes to get to table. Food took a while to come out as well. That being said, the food was excellent - fresh, tasty and well executed. The salmon crudo goes on my list of best tasting dishes of all types of food. Will go back because the food quality outweighed the experience.More

This place is amazing from the Brussels sprouts to the shishito peppers to the point your finger at any sushi on the menu and you are in for a good meal. A must place to eat again and again!

Seriously this place has the best service and sushi in all of Charlotte. The food is unique yet at a great price!! It just opened and this is already my second visit.

Been here twice so far, and it keeps getting more enjoyable! This place has a great atmosphere, it's fun for a Friday Night or basic dinner during the week. The sushi is very good. They have a big variety of rolls. But if you are...like me and prefer basic sushi pieces they have that too--the basic platter is big and at a good price. The special seared salmon appetizer w/aoli sauce is delicious! The waitress was very nice. We will definitely be coming here often. I am anxious to try the ramen as that looked really good.More

The owner as well as wait staff are extremely attentive. They take time to explain the Japanese dishes. The food and presentation are excellent.

This place just opened this year and doesn’t have a ton of reviews yet but it is the best sushi I have had so far in Charlotte. The prices are very reasonable and the fish quality is always excellent. The ambiance is great and the...service is also usually awesome. We live across the street and eat here at least once per week. Great secret spot in southend. We keep trying all the recommended sushi spots in clt but keep coming back here for the consistent quality and reasonable price Love this place!More

Could be one if the best bartenders in Charlotte. He makes the mixing ingredients for your cocktails in house. The ginger beer for your Moscow mule, the cherry surup for your Manhattan and the gorganzola stuffed olives for your martini. Gus is the bar manager...and he is exceptional.More

I had typical expectations for this new restaurant but they far exceeded them. Amazing staff who are so friendly and accommodating and yes, super fresh and delicious sushi. Amazing for date night or a big group. It’s small though so get there early or come...ready to relax at the bar with some drinks while you wait for a seat.More

I had a good dinner at this restaurant, sushi were fresh and was not overpriced like most of the restaurant in Charlotte, we went for an early dinner to avoid the crowd and had a decent service.

Fast and fresh... this place is near sycamore brewery and small but that's not a bad thing. Its a nice new face to the sushi game. We did a few rolls and chirashi bowl. Nothing was left behind. My recommendation? Give your normal place a...rest and give it a go!More
