Came in at lunch time to order to-​go. The lady that served me was great and quickly submitted my order. The disappointment arrived once I came home, the sushi quality was something I would find in a grocery store or food court. I won’t be back and I’ll be going back to my regular sushi place Ru Sans.

The sashimi was ok. The rolls were done in a hurry and you could tell. Overall for the area the place was decent. I’ve never seen Sriracha sauce in every table in a sushi restaurant before. Go figure…

Quick recap: amazing sushi, never had a plate I didn’t enjoy. Very reasonably priced, great atmosphere and the service is usually on point. One of the better sushi places in town.
With all that being said, the last time I went, my dragon roll was mostly avocado and no real amounts of meat was inside the roll. However the taste was still there and on point. I have been here on many occasions and this was the first time I came across this issue.
Some rolls are a bit small so keep that in mind if you are truly hungry.

This place has been on my bucket list for a while but it was actually a 2nd choice for dinner after my dinner group’s initial plans for the night got derailed. But this was a great alternative.
First off, I never knew how big the restaurant is. From the front it looks tiny but the space actually goes back quite a bit and there’s plenty of seating at the bar and at tables.
The dinner group started out sharing a bunch of appetizers… edemame, cajun shrimp, spring rolls, and tempura shrimp. Of those the cajun shrimp seemed to be the favorite.
For an entrée, I had the Sushi combo which while it lacked in overall presentation, the flavors were good and you only needed a little wasabi to clear your sinuses.
The only complaint I have is that the service was inconsistent. 3 of our appetizers arrived at the same time and one arrived 15 minutes later. And since we were seated in the back of the restaurant it almost seemed like we were forgotten about at first but service seemed to pick up later in our meal.
I’d give this 3.75 stars but not quite worthy of the 4.

After craving sushi I wanted to check out Yama, but they were closed. So, the only spot I could remember was Sushi 101. And, boy, biggest regret.
The service was horrible, very rude and short server. I started with miso soup, which was the only thing I was able to eat. I then ordered the surf and turf roll, salmon nigiri and a spicy tuna hand roll. The surf and turf roll is grilled meat with fried tempura, and the beef was so overlooked and dry it was uneditable. As for the tuna, what a horrible piece of tuna. I wasn’t even able to chew it.
I will not return and know there are better sushi spots in Charlotte now. Don’t waste your time and money!

Came here last night for a quick dinner.
Sushi 101 is tucked away across the street from Park Road Shopping. We were there on a Tuesday and the drink special was $ 1 domestic beer… score! I noticed they had decent drink specials almost every day.
We ordered the goyza to start. 8 came out in the serving (good portion) with the yummy dipping sauce. They had steamed them in this woven basket thing. My husband made the comment that when he was in China, they served goyza this way there too. Very good.
Next we split 3 rolls: Spicy tuna, Panther roll (geez…we really have a Panther problem… I mean the Panthers are 12 – 0 so that means this rolls HAS to be good!), and Panhandle roll. All came out fairly quickly. I thought they all had a bit too much rice on them for my taste. The Panther roll was by far the best (see, good call!)! The Panhandle roll was pretty good but I actually didn’t care for the Siracha on top, I think it was just too much. The spicy tuna was an A-​Ok roll.
Overall, we had some tasty sushi at a fairly decent price. As this place is very close to our home, this may become our go to take out sushi place!

I love the yakitori, but leaving out scallions in the menu description is a «fail». Three times now I have ordered a lemon drop shot, to be Givin a martini with attitude that a shot is a martini… not to mention the pink mold covered sinks in the ladies room. Yuck)
I always loved this place… but damn. Get it together

Terrible chefs choice sashimi combo, mostly fake crab and shrimp hardly any good fish, can’t believe the chef would think that fake crab and shrimp are his best offerings. Since when did imitation crab become passable as chefs choice sashimi. Have been to the other location at the promenade many times and loved it. Really sad that this location is so inferior. Should not be allowed to carry the name

The Chicken fried rice is excellent! 1 $ domestic beers on Tuesday?! You can’t beat it.

I grew up in new England with great seafood. I’ve always thought Portland had the best and freshest seafood until I had sushi 101. I only get sashimi everything else is a filler to me. The fish was fresh and proportion were very generous. I’ve been in Charlotte for two weeks and I’ve gone there twice and going tomorrow. Also the bacon scallops for 3 bucks is a killer deal.
I’m a fan. I’m still exploring so I’ll might be back to change the rating.

The food was ok. The service here was below average. Our server wasn’t attentive whatsoever. I don’t know if he was new or he’s just like that. We accidentally spilled our tea. So instead of the server rushing up to help us try to clean it, our server and another walked by twice without even saying a word. We had to bring it up to him. The sushi here is just alright, it wasn’t bad but it wasn’t the best. I wouldn’t visit this location again

First I have to start off by saying I can’t believe I have been in charlotte for almost eight years and today marks my first time venturing out to sushi 101, as I have heard so many things about this place but never seemed to find myself nearby when I needed my regular sushi fix (which is pretty much any day ending in the letter y), but all that changed today.
I ordered the panhandle roll, the jasmine roll and the voodoo roll and hold on, I seriously don’t want to put my chopsticks down to type because these three rolls are absolutely AMAZING! The individual flavors mesh so well together and the freshness of the ingredients is clearly evident with each bite. I love spicy and the server did not disappoint with her recommendation as these are some of the most flavorful rolls I have ever tasted, and that my friends is not hyperbole or exaggeration!
I also have to give my server Megan special recognition as my water glass never got less than half full before she refilled it with a smile every time. She was extremely personable and actually genuinely appeared to enjoy being there, which sad to say isn’t always the case with servers in some places as I am sure we can all attest to!
First class service with a smile + fresh flavorful sushi at a solid value = the next entrant into my five star club! Congratulations sushi 101 as it is well deserved and I will definitely be back again and again and again!

I’m a big fan of this place and I wouldn’t even call myself an avid sushi lover. Although I like it, it’s not my favorite food on the planet, (that would be my wife, she could eat sushi every day for life) but sushi 101 is incredible. I’ve never had a bad experience here. The sushi is DELICIOUS and I’d say it’s fairly priced as far as sushi goes. On our last trip I ordered the Super Crunch Roll– one of my faves and one of my «usuals» and the Ballantyne roll. I expected the SCR to be great, and it was, but that Ballantyne was to die for. It has crunchy salmon skin on the inside of the roll and raw salmon on top. (Ugh, wish I’d gotten a pic of it) it was absolutely delicious and it might become a new favorite of mine.
We went with a large group of friends and everyone enjoyed their meals and the service was pleasant and fast. Oh, the edamame as an appetizer is a MUST! It comes out warm and flavorful and we couldn’t stop eating it.
My father in law ordered the chicken fried rice (I don’t think he’s a sushi fan lol) and they brought him this massiveeeee plate out of the most delicious rice ever, he was in heaven! The other thing about Sushi101 is that they’re right next to Polkadots bake shop, one of the finest cupcakeries in Charlotte!

Love this place. It’s not fancy and it’s in a strip mall but it’s great. If you want casual reasonable good food then give it a go. Allison (the bartender) is amazing. She is Always pleasant, remembers your order and gets your food out fast! They have great noodle bowls (ramen yaki style with veggies is my favorite), good vegetable fried rice and their jasmine roll wrapped in cucumber instead of rice is pretty yummy too! Good miso soup, and if you need a sweet the mochi (flavored icecream wrapped in gummy rice) is sooo good! I love this little place for a quick bite, a late bite to eat or even take out! Their sushi is not the best in Charlotte but they have a lot of good stuff on the menu!

INCREDIBLE!
This sushi might even be better than CowFish! A fantastic, dive, off the beaten path, low key place for some of the best sushi I have had in Charlotte! Tons of deals, great fresh sushi rolls, and noodle bowls — so even if your friends are not sushi fans there is something for them to eat too!
Best tip about this place: Cajan edamame — not listed on the menu, but unbelievable — and the sauce at the bottom of the bowl — best dipping for sushi instead of soy sauce!

For the price this sushi cannot be beat. In fact it’s better than a lot of places that cost much more. They have a large selection of sushi as well as other traditional Asian dishes.
The inside of the restaurant isn’t large so larger groups may feel crammed. The atmosphere is very casual.

Sushi 101 is probably the name of a sushi place where I would eat — though truth be told, I’m probably even in remedial sushi, as when we have gone, I don’t even always order sushi. Send me to detention.
The good news is that the staff is ultra-​friendly, and doesn’t seem to mind if you don’t order sushi. Hey, if they put it on the menu, it’s fair game. So when we order fried rice, they didn’t turn up their nose or anything.
Now I get that it probably isn’t their speciality — it’s not like we were eating at Fried Rice 101 or anything — so it wasn’t spectacular, but it was perfectly serviceable, so when we’re in the mood for sushi, we’ll give it a shot.

Good sushi, even better price.
This location is tucked in the back of the Parktowne Village Shopping Center. It’s kind of dimly lit at night, so it would be easy to miss if you didn’t know it was back there.
Must get item: Spicy Edamame. All edamame should strive to be this. The staple app tossed in a delicious sauce. One order may not be enough for your table.
Spring rolls: These were tasty, but they were all different shapes and sizes. Nothing wrong with that… just threw us all off when they arrived.
Crispy Maki 101 Roll: Tuna or salmon rolled in nori and lightly fried. Topped with a mayo and chili sauce. I usually get this every time. I like that it’s not too heavy for a fried roll.
Professor Vu Roll: Shrimp tempura and cream cheese topped with avocado, tuna and crab salad. Everything is better with crab salad on top.
Sushi 101 has some great drink specials throughout the week, but note there are no specials on Fridays and Saturdays. They are also not opened for lunch on Saturdays.
Service is always good. I have never had a bad experience here. Our server Quinn was fantastic during my last visit here Friday evening.

I was across the street in the Park Place shopping center and decided to get some sushi. Well actually, I had been craving sushi all week, and figured this was the time to try something different. I had heard some really good things about Sushi 101 and there are multiple locations so I knew that I would be in good hands.
Well, I really wanted to like this place… I did but in my book it was just average.
I stopped in a little after 1:30, I wanted to make sure I missed the heavy lunch crowd. Lucky for me the place was pretty empty. I scored a seat right in from by the window and was presented a menu. The menu is pretty extensive so that was very impressive. And they have a pretty good wine list and daily drink specials… whoo hoo!
In an effort to «try something new» I got the Crispy California Roll which comes topped with napoli sauce. Think delicious california roll… deep fried… classic flavors a little bit of crunch…
I really don’t know what to say… other than it was just okay. I really did enjoyed the napoli sauce ! But everything else was just pretty basic. Nothing really stood out to me, I mean don’t get me wrong, it was not bad by any means. It just didn’t WOW me.
However, service was good. And the prices are very reasonable. I’m going to give them another try. Maybe with a different roll and a drink special I’ll become a fan!
