"The food at this restaurant was mediocre overall. I would recommend sticking to the sushi and avoiding other items on the menu. I had to send back the ramen dish because it didn't match the description, and the replacement entree I received wasn't much better in terms of appearance and flavor. There was an excessive amount of onions in everything, with dishes either drenched in soy sauce or minimally cooked. While the sushi was good, I wouldn't say it's the best in Charlotte."

"I was so pleased to read about the reopening of Rattan, but was, sadly, disappointed with the experience. The lighting is more chain-restaurant bright, the servers were dressed quite sloppily, and were very slow with service even though there were plenty of them on the floor. There was one menu on the table to share between us- we commented on it and the waiter just shrugged and walked away. The price changes really floored us. They didn't just increase, they went crazy-high. We ended up not staying because even the appetizers were overpriced, yet most were unappealing."

"No complaints on the taste but way too expensive for what I received. The R13. Salmon Avocado Roll was not rolled properly and the salmon/avocado kept falling out. The description says it comes with soup and salad but this is not true. The White Tuna sushi (fish over rice) was $4+ but ended up being one piece."

"Ocean Prime exceeded my expectations. The atmosphere exuded elegance and the host greeted us promptly upon arrival. Despite being a little late for our reservation, we were seated within 30 minutes in front of the host (party of 2). Our server welcomed us shortly after we settled in, and our cocktails and appetizers arrived quickly after ordering. The menu had a great variety of options for us to choose from. I opted for the lobster while my date chose the teriyaki salmon. We also ordered the Brussels sprouts and Gouda tater tots, which were amazing. Overall, our experience at Ocean Prime was fantastic."

"The food itself was great. But when we are waiting we found this store also has too good to go option and it was 2.2 points out of 5, so we are pretty curious cuz the food is great, why such low reviews? And once we get it, totally understandable.As shown below in picsFirst of all, only four small cup miso soup is not even on the menu and they put original retail price for $12 dollars for this, which is ridiculous.Secondly, we are having the dinner in this store and we ordered pretty great amount of food, but this too good to go give us a feeling of teasing us. It's not for helping environment but for their OWN financial benefit.If the store owner is in such mindset, you shouldn't participate in this Too good to go campaign which is helping the environment but not wasting so many plastic container for miso soup.We really enjoyed the food here but for such attitude and mindset, we will never ever come back and hope this reviews can help others!Overall I feel really really bad that as an Environmentalist, I'd rather they don't even give me this bag which cause more plastic trash in the world.If you want to protect the environment, please don't event order too good to go in this store."

"Great food great everything except for that server Amanda. She only served us our drinks and others served the food. I signed the check and she said “WTF dude you’re not even going to tip me” I was too stunned to speak. I turned around and she repeats herself. I continue to say “I left the tip on the table” she proceeded to say “oh MY GOSH IM SO SORRY! Some people did that to me earlier” girl bye please educated yourself and I’m sure her manager was infront of her and he didn’t say anything but laugh. Please give the Mexicans a raise and don’t tip Amanda "

"Beautiful setting especially the outdoor patio. Wine steward very knowledgeable and helpful.But the quality of the food doesn't match the price. The Asian lobster buns were just ok. The escargot fritters a horrible misstep doughy, leaden, overfried. Steaks were cooked nicely but homemade steak sauce is a hamhanded version of a BBQ sauce that overwhelms the steaks. Accompanying salad was sour and salty, delicate greens drowned in dressing.Olanthe corn side dish tasted only of mushrooms, not of corn. Grilled summer squash were better. Both cost don't mind paying for a dinner for two, but when I do, I expect everything to be top notch. It wasn't here"

"we had 10 course omesaks for 3 and were on a hightop in the middle of the bar area, which is very brightly illuminated and honestly quite unpleasant. we booked the lounge. the food was enough from a few really good bites to some who were unusable. favorite first, the smoked blue fin was exceptional, served in a smoke-filled hole, it had a great texture and taste, very well toned and presented, and it is rare to see blue fin more. my personal favorite was the skallop and aubergine, which was unexpected and beautifully balanced. the fat tuna trio was fun to contrast the various cuts. the Swedish salmon rolled around mango and jalapeños was my honorable mention; the first roll, plucked vegetables, was light and a good start; the garnelen nigiri was served with his head and a dramatic fan of fried rice paper and enjoyed by the table. I was disappointed by the boston oysters (painted as petrol and not well balanced. we got 2 and ate only 1 we have eaten thousands of oysters and actually felt bad not to eat them, but they were not good,) the wagyu was very gristy (I actually went to the bathroom to spit out. it was practically a disc silver skin. very disappointing,) and the last seafood stew felt compelled and was harmless spicy (my man loves spicy.) the mochi ice creams for dessert were confusing (1 banane, 2 mango, 3 strawberry) and did not go with the rest of the experience. it was difficult to hear the foods to explain, not because it was too loud, but they spoke very soft. I have always asked to repeat them, and only learned that the tuna trio was a comparison of the cuts because I asked. I don't think I'm going back. we spent $450 and didn't think it would suit the value of the offers"

"I took my wife and two children out for Mother's Day and only had to wait 5 minutes for a Hibachi table at 3:30. The restaurant was super clean, even the ventilation above the grill looked brand new. The chef was skilled and engaging, cooking our food perfectly. My son and I had shrimp and noodles, while my wife and daughter chose rice. I had 13 shrimp, all cooked the same way, and they came with 2 sauces (other places usually have 4). Overall, I would give this restaurant a 5/5 for cleanliness and a 4/5 for the food. Not bad at all, definitely one of the better options in the area."

"This is my favorite restaurant to dine at locally in Raw for Asian cuisine. The establishment is cozy and they provide complimentary hot tea upon seating. The staff follows a vegan diet and the restaurant is well-maintained. The dishes are all flavorful, but I highly recommend trying the pad thai, sweet potato tempura sushi (without shrimp roe), the vegetarian sushi platter (includes soup, salad, and a variety of sushi), the massaman Thai curry, and the vegetable teriyaki dinner (served with steamed white rice). Be sure to inform the staff of your vegan preferences."

"I’ve been coming here A LOT with my granddaughter lately. We LOVE the food so much! As I’m writing this, me and my granddaughter are going out shopping again today, and we might just come here for lunch again. I usually order their French Onion Soup, or their Greek salad. THE SOUP IS AMAZING!!! Their Greek salad is also very good as well. My granddaughter usually gets the tomato soup and grilled cheese and she is just obsessed with it. While I really love it here, there are some things that could be better. Sometimes, the line takes FOREVER. The line gets so long sometimes and it is very, very slow. 2 weeks ago I was coming here on my own and I waited 20 minutes in the line until I just had to leave because I moved up ONE space in that 20 minutes. There were 9 cars ahead of me. But I do understand why it takes so long sometimes, I understand that with COVID-19 that this place is probably short staffed. That’s ok. Honestly, that’s the only complaint I have! I just really wish they served breakfast all day, or at least until 2 PM. Their breakfast sandwiches are so good, especially the egg and cheese on brioche. Overall, this place is seriously good. I recommend it absolutely!"

"The sushi was good and the price was average. They have a fairly good amount of choices on their menu. The food was prepared well. The facility was clean. The lighting is a little dim, but typical of this style of restaurant. The server was new and she did not pass the plates to the guests; instead, she placed them at the end of the table for the guests to distribute themselves. This led to some confusion. Hopefully that service isn't the norm. Overall a great experience."

"I have traveled the world eating sushi (all over United States, Central/South America, Europe, South Pacific, and of course even Japan). Sushi Hana is my favorite sushi outside of Japan, this is more to do with nostalgia and not the taste or quality as sushi Hana excels in taste and quality. It’s always a pleasant experience as the staff are excellent, and a special shout out to Alan who is always a pleasure. Highly recommend, and make sure to try the baby octopus sushi it’s amazing with a bit of wasabi, soy sauce, and wrapped in a shiso leave (the green leaf in the picture enjoy!"

"Bottom line up front: The restaurant staff is friendly and well meaning, but they appear overwhelmed, you might be waiting for a while. The restaurant could use a good cleaning...I def experienced sticky floors. That being said, the food is awesome! (And well worth the wait) I ordered the Godzilla roll (I recommend), which was a tasty combination of different fish (I think Tuna and Scallops) and the St. Petersburg. The rolls' rice was cooked to perfection, and the texture was spot on: crunchy when it was supposed to be, and soft when it was supposed to be. Wife had the Spider roll and the Golden roll. Her only complaint was that the Golden roll had too much tempura."

"First timers here but definitely not our last!! My husband enjoyed his sushi, he said it was really fresh and after looking over the menu, he is happy to try them all Lol, I ordered the boneless reserve ribs (my favorites) and it was really good!!!! I had a terrible experience on the other day with another local restaurant after ordering the same thing and during mixing my sauce in one actually found a piece of medal (scouring pad) in my food and ended only the entire order But in this restaurant you can say it was made to order and I love that they sent homemade duck sauce really makes it a difference. Thank you for offering really fresh food and we will be back soon"

"Great hibachi experience.. My family of six dines every year on Valentine's Day at a Japanese steakhouse and hibachi. We have eaten at several in several states. Ichiban is a clear cut above the rest. We we're seated fairly quickly, service was good, wine list ample, sushi arrived quick and week prepared, and the atmosphere is great! Paul, our Chef, put on a great show, but more so served great food. The meat and vegetables were fresh and cooked to perfection. His show made me laugh out loud on several occasions. The restaurant is clean and appeard to be well run and staffed. Those are all great reason to dine here, but the food is the best reason. Seasoned well, cooked well, tastes great. Thank you Ichiban for making our tradition just a bit better."

"Last night, we satisfied our Chinese food cravings with our favorite place, How Lee! The food was prepared perfectly, arrived on time, and was as hot as could be! I used my steam-releasing technique, as always, and everything was absolutely delicious. I ordered the Dragon Phoenix, which comes without vegetables and consists of General Tso's chicken and hot and spicy shrimp served with white rice—just the right level of heat! They don't win awards for nothing, folks; this food is incredible. I can’t wait to dine in at the restaurant again—you just can't beat the experience. My wife ordered the large chicken and broccoli with no rice or noodles, plus an egg roll. Happy wife, happy life—it's a win-win! This lady loves her Chinese food!"

"I honestly don't understand how this restaurant has the current ratings it does. I ordered Takoyaki, tempura udon, and Katsu donburi. The Takoyaki was small but decent. The Donburi was disappointing, with tough Katsu and dry rice. The sauce was overly sweet, and it seemed like they were using frozen ingredients. The udon seemed to be made from a market base with hot water, and the noodles were undercooked. The tempura was also below average, with thin-cut ingredients and shrimp that was almost paper-thin. It seems like they may not understand how Japanese cuisine should be prepared, or they simply don't care because their main customers are not familiar with it. The staff, however, were friendly."

"Quality of food surprised me. I used to eat there often in the past, but the food quality was progressively worse and I stopped going there until recently when a family member recommended that we take from there and I was pleasantly surprised how much things have improved, especially since it was also near their closing time."
