text: Sushi is my favorite food and being new to Charlotte I relied on Yelp to give me some recommendations Therefore I gave New Zealand Cafe a shot despite the already questionable restaurant namennI suppose it is unfair since I am comparing my experiences to sushi restaurants in Los Angeles and Boston hometown and schooltown so I will just cover the things that should NEVER happen at a sushi restaurant just to be fairnn If you are going to be a sushi waitress please pronounce the menu correctly Tuna is said MAguro not maGURO Please get the inflection rightnn When ordering nigiri it should not turn into an order of sashimi and rice Nigiri means sashimi STICKS to the rice which not falling apartnn It is very unappetizing to see blood from your sashimi on your dishnn Green tea from a tea bag Reallynn If you offer fried ice cream I am assuming this is tempura why does it only come in vanilla when you have green tea and red bean on the ice cream menu as wellnnSee I have not even got into the freshness of the sushi which not all of it was made to order since I sat at the sushi bar or the sashimi or any complicated standards that I usually have I am sorry if this is the best sushi in Charlotte because it was the worse sushi I have ever had then I suppose it says a lot about the food scenennIf anyone has any recommendations for sushi please please please send me a message
