What is the best sushi in Lake Norman? eeZ in Huntersville, with fresh fish, creative rolls, and a solid hibachi experience. Coral Sushi is the more affordable option when you want sushi without the full night out.
eeZ
$$eeZ is the best sushi restaurant on the Lake Norman side. The fish is fresh, the rolls are creative without being gimmicky, and the hibachi experience is solid fun. The Birkdale Village location makes it easy to combine with shopping or a walk. The Dragon Roll and the Sashimi Combo are the order. Do not sleep on the Thai dishes either.
Coral Sushi
$$Coral Sushi is a solid, reliable sushi spot in the Birkdale area. The fish quality is consistent, the rolls are well-constructed, and the prices are fair. It is not the most exciting sushi on the lake, but it is dependable and a good value for a weeknight dinner.
Midori Sushi & Hibachi
$$Midori is a solid sushi and hibachi option in the Davidson area. The sushi is fresh, the hibachi is entertaining, and the prices are fair. It is not the best sushi on the lake, but it is a reliable choice for the north shore area.
Kabuto Japanese Steak House
$$Kabuto is a hibachi experience more than a fine dining restaurant. The chef's table entertainment is fun for families and groups, and the food is decent if unspectacular. The sushi menu is solid. Come for the show, stay for the fried rice.
