text: This summer I went to Japan and coming back to Charlotte I have hit nearly all the Japanese restaurants and this is by far my favorite It is very authentic including the UdonSobaRamen offerings My barometer is ordering the Octopus roll which is often a bit rubbery from the good places fullon rubber from the bad places Here it was tender and excellent I could eat here every day since it is also a comfortable place Take the time to find this place it is definately worth it And yes they have a room for traditional seating with a tatami mat
