Ginbu 401 - Charlotte

I stopped by for some soup and a sushi roll. The service was good, and the food was excellent. I would definitely recommend this place!

The food was outstanding, the service was superb, and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. I can't wait to return!

The miso soup was the best I've ever tasted, and the sushi was excellent! The dragon roll was a highlight!

As for the atmosphere, it felt quite small and casual—not fancy, more like a takeout place. Inside is pretty cozy, and it's located on a busy road, so getting in and out can be a bit tricky. I was surprised to see a customer fee of $2.99, which I've never encountered before; it felt a bit inconvenient and I'm not sure why it was necessary. I went there on a whim, but I likely wouldn’t return.

The Chicken Cashew Dinner was by far the most flavorless dish I've ever encountered. In fact, I can't recall ever trying something so devoid of taste. While there were plenty of nearly raw carrots, the chicken was barely present—I'd estimate there was only one bite of chicken for every five bites of food. When I finally found some, it was utterly tasteless. Overall, it was a terrible experience. I won't be coming back!
