    SLEEPER ALERT! Don't let the outward appearance turn you away, this place is good. Good sushi in western North Carolina is a rarity, this place did not fall short of great. Good staff too. My wife and I got both teriyaki chicken and sushi and we both were surprised at how good everything was. We even stayed for dessert.

    My husband and I just ordered food for pick up, chicken and steak hibachi and steak and shrimp hibachi plates. The young ladies at the desk were not very pleasant as we walked in, no greeting, no "goodbyes" or "thank you have a nice day", nothing. The food isn't horrible if your ok with mushroom hibachi and a few pieces of shrimp steak or chicken. The salad was supposed to be with ginger, but we received yum yum sauce instead for our lettace. Wouldnt recommend and wont be going back.

    Sushi in Western North Carolina? Yup. This restaurant tucked away on the side of an old shopping mall seems to go unnoticed. However, you will be surprised at their food. They have a full menu of other dishes as well, but we have only eaten sushi there. Paradise Roll and their Silva Roll are our two favorites. Couple that with the Nigiri sushi (tuna, yellowtail) and you've made a great choice.

    Although their fish is limited, no Snapper (personal favorite) or Super White Tuna, what they serve is good, fresh and healthy.

    With limited competition in the area (I guess you could go to the bait store if you wanted), their prices are very reasonable. It's a good consistent restaurant for sushi in the area.

    I would have never guessed this place was so good.  Excellent service.  Fish was fresh and delicious. Great variety of food at a fair price. Beautiful views of the river.

    My friend and I were seated quickly.  I ordered the shrimp tempura roll.  She ordered the shrimp tempura. We both had our orders within five or six minutes.  Both were very good.  We were not rushed. Pricing has a wide range.  Mine was $6.50.  It was very good.  I am glad there is a Kobe Express in Cherokee, near me, and one in Sylva.
