Lucky Tusk

I went in thinking this place wasn’t going to
Be that good, I was wrong. Great service, amazing food, and reasonable prices. I would again if I lived closer.

This place is now my go-​to place in Albemarle for sushi. Every other place in Albemarle drowns their sushi in «yum yum» sauce. Here, you can get tuna, salmon, and yellow tail rolls, and they’re plain, just as they should be! Now, they do have a wide selection of sushi, so if you like yum yum sauce, they’ve got you covered. And, all the rolls are reasonably priced, as opposed to that «little japanese place» *coughcough*
Curries are prepared well. They also have drunken noodles! Dinner entrees are reasonably priced, and portion sizes are nice.
One word of caution, though: I like spicy, so I ordered a «three.» Whoo! It was _​hot_​. Even a two was a bit on the warm side. So, just be careful when ordering! (I’d hate to see how hot the «five» is! LOL)
As always, their lunch specials are reasonably priced, too, so don’t forget them for lunch!

It was ok. I wasn’t impressed. The food was not that fresh the duck wasn’t that great in flavor. That’s as much effort as I can put into this review just like their food nothing to write about. My first altime and they were under staffed so I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt and try again when I’m in the area.

Came here with three friends after mountain biking. We weren’t sure what to expect in a small town because we are from Charlotte but we loved this place! I had sushi rolls and my friends got Thai curry and everything was great and great service.

This is by far the best sushi place I’ve ever eaten at. The food is great and the service is too. The new patio is great for warm nights/​days and larger groups. The drink specials are also super. I love this place and eat there regularly. Smith B. (I won’t dare attempt to spell his last name) is absolutely THE BEST!!! Anyone from Albemarle or just passing through must give this place a try! You’ll be back for more I’m sure. Even though this used to be KFC, they’ve done a great job fixing it up!!!

I currently live in California. I came home to visit my family in Albemarle and ate at the Lucky Tusk, I was so impressed. The food was very good. I had sushi and teriyaki chicken. I will be returning to eat here when I come back home. The service was also impressive. I would recommend eating at this place if you are in the area, VERY GOOD!

Me and the wife love this place. Very good sushi and good drink specials. Alway very good customer service. We have never had a bad experience. For this small town you get the big town service. We will be back many times. I think you should give it a shot. The menu is open for all taste buds. Sushi is very very good saying it’s the best in our small town would be doing it an injustice. Give it a shot.

My favorite place to eat when I’m in the area! Definitely recommend! This is quite possibly the best sushi place I’ve ever been to, with the most detailed sushi menu! Make sure you try the fried Oreos or «You’re So Sweet Roll» for dessert!

Decent spot for good food. The exterior is a little rough-​looking, but give it a try. I usually get the simple teriyaki chicken, but they do offer a full sushi menu as well. Most of the seating is booths, but there is also a small bar area.
The handful of times that I have been in, the staff is always polite. They serve pretty quickly which makes it a great lunch spot.
They are also very reasonable with pricing.
I was disappointed with my take-​out teriyaki chicken that there was no side salad even though there is when I dine in for the same entrée.
& FYI no sushi between 3−5pm :-/
