A: I was there last night and I can say that I'm really disappointed. Being one of the best customers of Carlos' n Charlie's in Cancun, I expected the same quality. Sadly it wasn't; the food and the quality of the open bar is so low and cheap that I could only drank a half margarita. And it was all I had for the night. We asked for a refund of the Open Bar -which they refused- since we were not willing to drink more of that weird stuff they serve as alcohol. Instead we were offered a "comp real Bacardi" which it wasn't enough to make it up for it. We decided to go, I feel robbed.

A: Five Guys FTW!! This place is pretty amaaaa-ZING! We usually get the bacon cheeseburger (I order the "little" since two patties on the "regular" would be too much for me). I love the FREE toppings you get which include grilled mushrooms and onions. I always order mine with extra mushrooms as I am a mushroom feign. They also pile on the bacon which is awesome since most places gimp you on that. Their bacon cheese dog is also delicious. I just wish they had sport peppers. Oh well, you can't win them all. Their cajun fries are also a must! I'm not a big french fry fan (especially the thick cut kind), but the fries here are to die for! The cajun fries are extra addicting (which is probably why they have such generous portions). This place does not fail to disappoint and has grown to be our go-to place for burgers.

A: Went to Sushi 101 last night as part of my quest to try all the sushi restaurants in Charlotte, and I gotta say that I won't be going back. I was expecting a lot more of a restaurant with such a good location right on the water and between the Hilton and FireWater, but I'm pretty sure this place just serves grocery-store quality sushi and you pay to look at the lake while you eat. The restaurant itself was filthy (the floor looked like it hadn't been swept in weeks) and the decorating was your average dollar-store kitschy Asian junk. It was a little crowded when we arrived and we were seated at a small, very wobbly table in the middle of the restaurant. It seemed like they were wasting some space with the table arrangement, and the other side of the restaurant had big leather couches instead of chair...? Considering the general sloppiness of the place, I shudder to think about those couches. The menus were poorly designed laminated things and filthy, and the rolls were a little expensive ($9+ for maki, generally $3 more than other nearby places). The sushi was unremarkable to outright unpleasant. We ordered the Crispy Bagel, the Ninja Roll, the Rainbow Roll, and one Kani nigiri. The rolls came out quickly and the server was sweet but not too professional (as we were leaving she was sitting at a nearby table with other servers gossiping loudly). The presentation of the rolls was sloppy and not even slightly elegant as sushi should be. The bagel roll was good but pretty much a standard bagel roll, except it had Japanese mayo on it instead of eel sauce, which was sort of unusual (and not in a good way). The rainbow roll was also your stock rainbow roll, nothing special. The ninja roll was room temperature even though it was supposedly a baked roll and it honestly tasted like the fish had gone bad; I only ate a few pieces before I couldn't stomach it, and later that evening I had some serious stomach issues that I'm attributing to this place. The crab salad handroll was very dry and tough, and there was no "salad" about it, it was just shredded crab. The rolls were loosely assembled so that they fell apart when you picked them up, the rice was dry, the sauce was scarce, and whatever brand of soy sauce they use is no good. Maybe I just happened to visit this place on the absolute worst day, but I'm not willing to give them a second chance after this disappointment.

A:
I've been to Kyomi twice over the past year, everytime for a birthday. I really enjoyed it. It is pretty classy and the service is professional. Food is good and it it is always served in fancy ways ( for example my gf got some fried shrimps and the plate was an actual boat in miniature - pretty cool). Another plus is that plates are huge !! I barely finished both times. Prices are medium-high but for the good service and quality of food I would say it is worth it. Get ready to spend ~ 20-30. Oh and this is a BYOW (Bring your own wine) restaurant which gives it another plus. Interior design is very cool, seats are incredibly comfortable ! A+ You should try it if you like asian cuisine! Edit: I've been there for a 3rd time a few weeks ago, again for a friends bday. We got 2 tables upstairs, pretty separated from the rest. Very cool and private !
