I was eating outside from another restaurant with my family when one of New Zealand Cafe employees came outside and started to... chat with us. Long story short I went in and ordered some bang bang shrimp which was pretty good. I like the vibe inside of therestaurant it seem pretty chill. I haven?t eaten enough from here to give a full review but so far I?ve like it. Read more
My favorite sushi place for a very reasonable price for the quality. They have an excellent selection of sushi/sushi rolls both... fried and fresh. The inside is intimate but very small. If you don't like being close to other tables this isn't your spot. The good news is their take out service is excellent. Best takeout sushi I've had anywhere. They really go the extra mile tomake it look nice (see pics) as well as study and safe to transport home. The service in the restaurant though is very friendlyand good. Love this place. Read more
My wife and I treat ourselves to a large sushi dinner here once a month, sometime twice, sometimes three times if one of us has... a really really bad day. Honestly this sushi is amazing for the price, one of the best. We ate in here before covid, it was asmall place, I'm a large person and I felt in the way wherever I sat. The play we found works best is to order and pick it up,we have the good soy sauce at home anyways. Our large order, listed below takes them usally 45-55 minutes to complete on thebusiest day, get a seperate box for each person's order to mitigate spousal theft. The best sushi in Charlotte, or atleast forthis price point. Just a really great staff and kitchen. Always very clean. Last month's order: Husband: Vegtable springroll Salt and pepper calamari smoked salmon roll yellowtail roll horseradish role bigger role seperate box, this is key unlessyou really know your fish Wife: seaweed salad 2 tuna nigiri tuna roll red dragon roll volcano roll 2 miso soup bamboorole bigger role Read more
This is a great place to get sushi in Charlotte! It is a small restaurant with not many seats, but the atmosphere was very nice... and cozy. I got the sushi and sashimi combo and it was great! The fish was very fresh and tasty. Their menu is very big so thereis something for everyone. Would recommend! Read more
The food was great! We got the teriyaki chicken, fantasy shrimp, squid salad, philly, spicy general sushi rolls and some nigri.... Loved mostly everything once it came! The chicken stewer was on the drier side.. Our waiter was present. But, 1 persons orderwas forgotten and it took almost 30 minutes after most of us already finished our food before their food came.

Hadn't been here in years. Stopped by for a late dinner. The person who took my order was pleasant. I really didn't know what I... wanted; just wanted something spicy. She recommended a few different rolls. I wanted to try something different & went with theeel she was telling me about. I'd decided on one roll & wanted to change to just the last roll she suggested. Guess she didn'tunderstand what I was saying with my mask on. Didn't realize til I was paying that she had 2 rolls on the order. Wasn't going tomake it an issue & just paid. I also ordered a spring roll. She did ask my preference & I asked for crab. Was disappointed whenI got home & realized it was fake crab. I guess with all the other fresh seafood, I thought it'd be real crab meat. I deducteda star from the review because of the service I received when I picked up my order. When my order was placed, I was told it'd beready in 15 mins. I walked to the adjacent grocery store, picked up a few things & came back. When I got to the counter, I toldthe lady I was picking up a take out order. I believe she wore glasses & was older. She was doing something with receipts. Igave her my order number & she coldly just slid the glass partition, dropped the bag down, closed the partition, & went rightback to whatever she was doing with the receipts. The sushi was good, but the service when I picked up the food left a badtaste in my mouth. Doubt I'll be back. Read more
Pleasant experience. Quality of sushi was reasonable. Kind of expensive for what I?m used to in California but overall nice... place. It?s not a big spot but NZ is one of the best options in the city within a 20 mile radius. We got the sushi boat and it?sgreat for 2 adults. We spent about $40 a person Read more
