Boyfriend and I were craving sushi and we were in the area, so we decided to try it out. We came for a late lunch and luckily, it wasn’t too busy. I hadn’t heard much about this place, but the staff were super super sweet and so friendly. We had Juan, and he was so great and never rushed us! Definitely a new favorite for us and we WILL be back!

Top-notch / world-class sushi served in a sleek, stylish environment with incredible service and a large service team ensuring the enjoyment of your meal. This place is terrific. Everything we tried was amazing. And they even have a kids menu with super fun kids plates. I’d suggest kids earlier in the evening or outside and if you’re coming on a date come during prime time. Oshen will not disappoint! It is a new favorite for us!!!!

Our new favorite! Fresh fish, exciting menu, excellent staff, modern and elegant decor, clean restrooms. Everything we ordered was delicious! Do not skip the dessert! The passion fruit tart was scrumptious.

Had an amazing experience at this spot! We ordered a bottle of sake and were pleasantly surprised when it came with its own sake dispenser—such a fun touch. The sushi was fantastic, and I highly recommend asking for both the crispy rice and the Japanese milk bread—they were standouts. The vibe reminded me of a trendy New York City restaurant: tables are a bit close together, and the music leans toward the louder, lounge-y side, but it adds to the fun atmosphere. Prices felt very reasonable for the quality. Also, the waitstaff and whoever runs the place were genuinely so kind and welcoming—it made the experience even better. I would absolutely come back again.

The food and service were out of this world! Sara made the experience incredible and was super accommodating giving us a chance to sit outside, even though it was raining. A quick shout out to the general manager as well for making this happen. The rain did not stop her magnificent service. Everything was explained perfectly, and we only snapped photos of dessert because we were having such a good time! Thank you for celebrating our friend’s anniversary with us!

I often order takeout from Oshen and their attention to detail when packing their food is like no other place. I really appreciate it. Tonight I went to eat with my husband. We were seated and from the moment we came we were catered and checked on often. Food came fast and it was delicious. We had 2 appetizers, 3 rolls and 2 different desserts. Amazing!! Everything was so good.

Can't say enough great things about this place. Our server Alex was on point, attentive, knowledgeable and helpful. Great service really makes or breaks an experience. Also the sushi was fresh, menu was innovative and imaginative and we loved our cocktails and sushi bowl. Will return.

My friend and I came in and sat at the bar and Omri, the bar manager, was amazing! He gave us recommendations and went above and beyond. My friend and I came for our pamper day and it truly felt like we were pampered and taken care of so well. 10/10 recommend! For both food and service!

Sat at the bar ~6:15p on Friday night - Both bartenders were very attentive and friendly (I am blanking on their names as I type this) and obviously worked well together. It was clear that both the front and back of house staff truly cared, someone spent the time to train thoroughly them and set expectations, and that every team member was aligned on meeting those expectations. Bravo to the GM we saw running around with a huge smile all night. Shoutout to the bar manager who served us and went above and beyond to ensure we had an exceptional experience and to the #girlboss on expo balancing the insane to-go volume without sacrificing the dine-in experience. As industry peeps, we have next level respect for a team that holds themselves to this standard and were thoroughly impressed. I'll mostly let the pictures speak to the food, but know that everything was fantastic. We started with the shishitos. I would eat anything covered in that sauce. Nigiri - We tried the yellowtail, yellowfin, scallop, and honeymoon. My hubby has already decided we need to go back and get the canoe (includes pieces of every nigiri) because the pairings were perfectly done and the quality of the fish was amazing. (If you only try one, the soy butter scallop is the way to go.) We also had the lobster tartare (definitely get the crispy rice) and the streakhouse roll. The space is small (they turned tables fairly quickly so if there's a wait, I'd suggest sticking around!) and it is loud as a few reviews have mentioned but not unbearable. Love that they have outdoor space! I honestly can't say enough good things - We will definitely be back.

We celebrated our daughter's 11th Birthday at Ochen, the staff and the GM Anthony made it a special night for her. The food was amazing, and the service and staff were amazing. Best restaurant in Charlotte!

Great prices, a sleek and cool ambiance, delicious food, fabulous service, and FREE parking! Dishes I love: - Edamame: Cooked in a Wok (life changing!!) and topped with ponzu and chili garlic - Steak House Roll - Black Sea Bass - Shishito Peppers The owners behind the successful Yunta, La Lima, and Viva Chicken knew what they were doing with the opening this restaurant!

So I came to this place years ago when it was a Mexican restaurant and since then they kept changing ownership. Finally checked this place out and didn't realized it was in the same building I used to go to. The place definitely change 180. The decor is nice and it's a pretty change. Came here on a Friday night around 5:30 and it was already busy. We ended up sitting at the bar. Everything we ordered was delicious. I would say the udon had a sour taste that I wasn't a fan of. My first bite of salmon felt like it had bones in it but I couldn't tell and just continue chewing. The hamachi, I was expecting jalapeno slices on top and didn't realized it was a sauce and it was spicy. Too spicy for me haha. The presentation was pretty. The drinks were good. I would definitely come here again. The staff and people are nice and friendly. Such a good fun atmosphere.

The food was very good and so was the service. We tried the shisito peppers and their rolls. We had a non-fish lover and they got the steak rolls and steak fried rice. Not too many options for them but was satisfied with what he got. Nice bright and open place. Crowded - book early

Solid 4.5 sushi spot. I tried the salmon nigiri, lobster tartare, steak roll, and chicken karage. The salmon nigiri and lobster tartare were both 5 star dishes, and the steak roll and chicken karage were 4 star dishes. I would love to see a wagyu nigiri added to the menu, I bet it would be a big seller. Overall I like the menu, the food was tasty, and the place seemed nice and clean inside. I have to say my favorite sushi in charlotte is Kappo En (RIP soon), and my favorite non omakase nigiri actually comes from Yunta.

I grabbed takeout here over the weekend, but the restaurant is beautiful on the inside so I definitely plan to dine in. Easy online ordering and pictures, which are always appreciated. I ordered the beef dumplings and the steakhouse roll. I don't typically do fried rolls because they are hit or miss, but this was actually my favorite part of the meal. The beef was a sweet stir fry and the fried outer part was crunchy and not dried out. The beef dumplings were really good as well, and came with spicy type of chili oil. The other thing I liked was the packaging-each item is labeled with the customers name and order. Very efficient. I was happy with the portion and the price. This is a great addition to the neighborhood!

The place was incredible! Our waiter was amazing, super attentive and gave the best recs. The place is super busy but still had an intimate feel. The food is incredible also. Top bites were the hamachi jalapeño crudo that came with the best sauce, the tuna tartare that you should definitely get with the crispy rice crackers and the scallop nigiri. 10/10 already planning on going back. For sure make a reservation bc it was super busy and you probably wouldn't be able to get a table until late if you walk in.

Wow! Blown away! Easily one of the top sushi places in the city. I got their salmon nigiri which was topped with I think lime grass and truffle oil. Flavor explosion! Then their Dorogan(sp.) Roll. Full of flavor, incredibly fresh fish, especially the tuna. The service was also some of the best I have ever received. The decor and interior are also simply stunning. Cannot wait to go back! Also very impressed with their wine list as well.

Not sure how I never knew about this place but it was outstanding! The service was on point, if a little slow, and everyone was super friendly and attentive. Everything that I tried was high quality and worth the price. I honestly think they could get away with slightly higher prices with the quality of food and service the provide. I will say that the Miso soup was VERY onion flavored, as one other person noted, but I don't mind that .

We loved this place so much, we went twice in one week. The service is top-notch, the staff is friendly and attentive, and the vibe is boujee for South Charlotte. The sushi is incredibly fresh, some of the best nigiri I've had in Charlotte and the drinks are just as impressive. We've sat both at the bar and at a table, and each visit was consistently great. Highly recommend if you're looking for a high-quality sushi spot in South Charlotte!

Friday dinner with friends. It's a restaurant with limited seatings and a bar, so reservations would be nice. Our server was pretty caring as we were a large group. Food came out at a good pace. Food recommended: the edamame was flavorful with a bit spicy taste; the hamachi jalapeno crudo (was recommended by the server)'s sauce was good; the sanshu roll's wasabi blended very well with the roll. Chirashi bowl gave the option to have the personal choice of ingredients. The yaki udon was way too salty. However the manager made another one for us with the soy sauce on the side. I really wish the restaurant could be a little bit quieter. The music was playing loudly so I had to shout out to my friends at the other end of the table which made my dinner tiring. It was a bit frustrating that it was also somehow hard for the communication between me and the server when ordering food. We tried to hear each other but the music was simply overwhelming over our voice.

This new place is a GEM!! It's located in a shopping strip near Rea Road, but the place seems almost too cool for such a suburban strip. Yet, I'm so glad it's not located uptown, where you have to deal with all the parking hassles. Not that it's super-flashy or anything like that. The place itself is small and modest, but has a nice, clean Japanese ambiance. The menu is also on the small side, but quite unique...with many items that were appealing to me. Also surprising was their friendly pricing. For my first time, I tried the Oshen Salad, Steak House Roll, and this Japanese Cheesecake, which came with a fruity dip. Well, everything was AMAZING. Not only delicious, but nicely presented too. Not only did the foods come out quickly, the service was very friendly and attentive throughout. I can't wait to try more items on their menu. Must return soon...for both lunch and dinner!

5 stars!!! Amazing food, amazing service, amazing ambiance and great prices for the quality! Definitely make a reservation, the restaurant was full all night. When I arrived I was pleasantly greeted by the waiter who was very good at refilling our waters and checking in on us all night. The ambiance is nice, it feels casual with a flair of high end and the details on the place from the logo to the napkins were perfectly thought out. For food you cannot go wrong. We ordered family style and tried a variety of dishes. Our favorites were the salmon nigiri (so fresh) and the doragon roll. But everything was amazing. Highly recommend trying this place out!

I've been wanting to try this place and finally so happy I did. Dainty but full of energy. I absolutely loved everything I had. From the tap water, offering before we asked lemon, lime, or oranges twist. I thought was great service! We were honored to have Hormi as our vivacious waiter/mixologist! He's great! He answered all my questions and gave his top favorite, which I must say is mine now. The Fried rice with lobster was absolutely marvelous and my forever favorite! We also had Tuna tataki, Mango bliss sushi , and Sunomono. For drinks we had Spicy watermelon margaritas but we held the spice. Delightfully delicious with a generous slice of watermelon too. We will definitely be back.

The most amazing sushi, and soo great with Celiac/gluten free diners. This is one of my favorite newer restaurants in town. The drinks our immaculate (and their bartender, Ormi, is a gem), and the service is wonderful, but the food is really superb. Don't sleep on the edemame, crispy rice crackers with tuna tartare, and the scallop nigiri.

The highlight of this first visit was the presentation of the Miso soup. It was very delicious and entertaining to have it poured into our bowls at the table. Service was very attentive and on point. There were more staff there than customers during our visit. The price was a bit high but this is probably due to the location however when compared to Baku I think I would choose Baku over Oshen for dinner. It is a decent place to meet friends for sushi lunch. Great atmosphere!

My wife and I dined at Oshen for the first time this past Friday, and Jose was our primary server. We enjoyed the dining room ambiance and energy. The wait staff sang Happy Birthday to two groups and kept the atmosphere upbeat. As for the food, we really enjoyed the spicy tuna tartar with the crispy rice and the seaweed salad for starters. My wife enjoyed the lobster roll and spicy tuna roll. I also had the salmon nigiri and unagi nigiri. It was fantastic. The service was on point and very attentive. We ordered the salted caramel cake to take home as our dessert. By the way, it goes really well with Andy's vanilla frozen custard. In all, we are planning to head back to Oshen. Five stars.

Being from the team behind Yunta, service is impeccable! They just opened so definitely expect some kinks. The highlight: - service is 5 - scallop nigiri is smooth like butter - cocktails

Service is amazing! Food was a hit or miss. We ordered a lot but there were the standouts: Shishito Peppers - nice char, a little bit sweet, the mushrooms were a great touch Salmon Carpaccio - fresh and light, umami taste Scallop Nigiri - buttery and creamy Chicken Karage - chicken was soft and moist, I really liked the breading they used The not so greats: Black Cod Misoyaki - very disappointed with how this turned out. The sauce was great but the fish was definitely overcooked. We ordered it twice to make sure it just wasn't a one off thing but the second fish also came out very chewy. Yuzu Lo - wasn't a big fan of this sushi Overall I had a great experience even though we were rained on but like I said the service is AMAZING and they brought out a second umbrella for us. Prices weren't overly expensive so I would definitely go again.

We went here for my father's 84th birthday lunch. The service was five star+. The level to detail and attentiveness was outstanding! The food was fantastic. Our favorites were the edamame, Shishito peppers, Scallop Nigiri and Sanchu roll. They brought out a Keylime pie dessert with a flaming sparkler to celebrate his day. It was just the icing on the cake! This is a must try if you are in the area.

3.5 stars no way 5 stars. Bougie sushi only specialty rolls offered not much of a selection. On the pricey side. Non sushi entree Japanese fried rice was good but very small portion. I'm not sure if I'd return but would no where near rate 5 stars or call it a go to sushi restaurant

HFS! I don't give this away very easy! As a huge sushi brat who's tried every place in CLT, this place is tops. I'm shocked that it has moved into my #1 place. And trust me I don't give this honor away easy. The fish is fresh and the inventive rolls are pure art. The wine selection is impressive and the service is on point. The cool ambiance is modern and clean. Love the food here and can't wait to be back. Worth the trip.

Everything we had was great - the edamame, yellowtail nigiri, and salmon nigiri especially. You can taste the quality ingredients from the fresh fish to the homemade sauces. The vibe is much more chill than sister restaurant, Yunta, but the service is just as good. Definitely will be back.

Wonderful new restaurant- food and service is outstanding! A very happy place; staff genuinely interested in providing a good experience. Food definitely above average with prices that are reasonable. Sushi of course but also many items available for non-sushi fans. We had tuna tataki, shishito peppers, beef dumplings, tuna and scallop nigiri, spicy tuna sashimi (make sure you get the crunchy rice crackers) and a light Japanese cheesecake for dessert. Reservations available. (A few seats at bar are available without reservations.)

Our waitress was Veyanca The service was incredible. The wait team they all worked together, so the process was really smooth and fast. The food service was very quick. I ordered a second roll of sushi went to the bathroom and came back. It was already there. The ambience reminded me of a restaurant in Japan. It was very nice and the price is affordable for fine dining with two people.

Birthday celebration was perfect at Oshen. Excellent freshly prepared food and reasonable prices make this upscale restaurant special for any occasion. The chocolate cake with sparkler was the best part of the evening with all the staff singing Happy Birthday. What a great time and thank you to all the wonderful staff for an extra special evening.

After reading numerous reviews, we settled on trying Oshen. It started out a little rocky as we were literally the first people there (after 6:00 pm). We questioned everything at that point, but were determined to go forward. Within 10 minutes the place was nearly full, which not only made us feel better, but reinforced our decision. The sushi itself was good overall, very tasty and flavorful. The service was great, no issues at all and highly recommend Oshen. BTW, we are AVID sushi eaters, so if you're looking for reviews by people who don't frequent sushi restaurants like we do, then by all means read the negative ones.

I ordered a lunch order for takeout, and I was really happy with the experience. I ordered right before I left home, and my food was ready when I arrived 10 minutes later. The server greeted me and opened the door to welcome me. The host/manager was really friendly and made sure I had all the sauces. The restaurant was modern but cozy. It was a large lunch crowd. The food was delicious and packaged very well. We had the bento plate which was only $12 and I split a sushi roll with my husband. It was all very filling. I would definitely patronize this restaurant again in the future, hopefully while dining in.

Ordered delivery and experienced two of their most popular rolls. The rolls were meticulously packaged and appropriately chilled. The presentation was really nice. The tuna tasted and appeared fresh and e delicious; overall both rolls were creative and with excellent flavor and very fresh, high quality fish. I can't wait to visit in person and excited to try more from this restaurant.

First off, the customer service is impeccable, from start to finish. I was very impressed by the woman that took our reservation accommodating my father in a wheelchair. She was very kind and helpful. The food was so good! Stand outs being the Shishitos peppers, Hamachi crudo, spicy tuna, and black cod.

Oshen (pronounced like "ocean") is a new sushi spot tucked in a shopping plaza on Colony Road. Owned by the same family behind Yunta in South End, Oshen impresses right out of the gate. I visited on their third night, and you'd think they'd been open for years. Service, timing, and quality were all spot on--a rare find for an opening week. The place itself is a beauty: bright whites, wood accents, and a comfortable mix of bar seating, high tops, and low tables. There's even a patio for some fresh-air dining. The noise level is a little on the lively side so be prepared. Reservations are probably smart, but they're fine with walk-ins too. Oshen's staff is great--attentive, friendly, and well-versed in the menu. They've got a full bar with cocktails, mocktails, beer, and sake. For lunch, there's a bento box special at just $11, which feels like a steal. Now for the food. I kicked off with the Tuna Tataki--seared tuna with a sweet sesame ponzu sauce that hit just right. Super fresh and perfectly seared. Next up was the Sanshu Sushi Roll, a light mix of tuna, salmon, hamachi, avocado, and cucumber wrapped in soy paper. It came with a wasabi soy sauce that even I could handle (not usually a wasabi fan), and the flavors were fresh and balanced. Finally, the showstopper: Black Cod Misoyaki. While it's not a carbon copy of Nobu's famous black cod, it holds its own. The ume miso glaze is light and slightly sweet, perfect with the delicate, flaky cod. Served with a bowl of rice. This dish is a must-try! I snapped a couple of photos of their two rotating desserts, which looked incredible. One was a rich chocolate cake, and the other was a light and fluffy Japanese cheesecake. I didn't try them this time, but both looked like they'd be the perfect sweet finish to a meal here. There are plenty more dishes I'm eyeing, so I'm already planning to come back soon. Anyone up for a lunch run? Oshen's off to an incredible start, and it's definitely worth a visit.

I tried Oshen recently with a few girlfriends for lunch on a Saturday. I was excited to try it but was left underwhelmed as were my friends. We ordered quite a few dishes to share and try: - Shishito peppers - Hamachi Jalapeño Crudo - Yuzu-lo Roll - Sanshu Roll - Japanese Fried Rice with shrimp - Black Cod Misoyaki - Chicken Karaage - Beef Dumplings My friends and I thought the best items were the chicken karaage, black cod, and shishito peppers. The chicken karaage was lightly crisp and juicy while the black cod was buttery and melted in your mouth as it should be. The shishito peppers were good too. The eggplant and shiitake mushrooms made the dish in my opinion. The dumplings were so-so. They were lacking in flavor and unmemorable. I thought the hamachi crudo was good but one friend thought the hamachi was fishy. The jalapeño cream served with it gave it a nice kick though. The shrimp fried rice was fine too but didn't wow us. This time another friend thought the shrimp was fishy. We also thought the sushi was fresh but again, unmemorable. The sushi we had reminded me of what I've had at Yunta (Oshen and Yunta are owned by the same people). I would consider the cuisine served to be Japanese fusion as most items on the menu are untraditional. Service was good overall but at times it felt like the server was hovering. Oshen has only been open a month so maybe they still need to work out some kinks. The menu also didn't have a ton of options and it's Japanese fusion. If you're looking for traditional Japanese, I'd go elsewhere. However, Oshen has a nice ambiance (it's clean and bright inside) and a good cocktail and alcohol menu if that's what you're looking for. Also, our group noted we were the only Asians in Oshen and the restaurant was full so take it for what it's worth!

We enjoyed our first experience at Oshen! We were fortunate to go in early enough to grab seats at the bar. I think there's some room for improvement but overall, it was very good. Some of the sushi we had was room temp, maybe because of the rice, but should have been cold. The cocktails were excellent and our bartender, Orbi (apologize for spelling), was awesome! The rice crackers - get them! It's a side to a tartare but they were awesome! Skip the milk bread. One this I would recommend, have soy sauce out for the bar and wasabi served with sushi.

Oshen was absolutely the best; from start the finish. The ambiance is clean and a beautiful crisp atmosphere with lovely decorations throughout. The waiter, Javier, came right over to us, greeted us and told us some drink and food recommendations. He was so friendly and you could tell how much he enjoyed working there. We began with some delicious appetizers- make sure you try the edamame (the sauce is divine!) and the tuna tataki was perfect for the table to share. We then ordered drinks; cocktails and beer. Wow, the cocktails came out with it's own presentation! Just so tasty! The restaurant has different servers that were always checking on our table, filling up our drinks, and making sure we had everything we needed. We moved on to ordering different dishes to share and boy, it didn't disappoint. Our waiter recommended the Truffle Avocado Tartare and wow! You have to get this! The truffle was simply amazing. It was also perfect to share with the table. I ordered the sushi bowl and it was nice to "build you own" bowl. I did the spicy tuna and it was so filling and yummy. This is something that would make a perfect lunch order and I definitely will be ordering this again when I come back. We did a few different options for sushi and I would recommend the Philly Maki and the Sanshu! Wow! Delicious! **A few things that stood out for me was: 1. There is a homemade sauce that compliments most of the dishes! Delish! 2. The ambiance is perfect for a quiet date night and/or girls' night out! 3. This is a wonderful spot for this location! We are SO excited to have this in our neighborhood! **GO make reservations! It is SO worth it!**

We've been to Oshen several times, and it has been an amazing experience every time. The ambiance is cool, clean, and lively. We've sat both at tables and at the bar. Sitting at our table, servers are always so attentive and ready to serve; they give detailed suggestions without being pushy when I've asked for their opinion. When sitting at the bar, the bartenders engage with patrons and make it fun experience chatting with us. As you can see from the pics I posted, the food looks amazing! It all tastes even better than it looks! My favorite is the Hamachi Jalapeño, because of that delicious sauce, the bits of cilantro, the crunch of the radishes, and the tender, fresh fish. Whatever you choose to try here, you won't be disappointed. Enjoy!

We have been trying to dine here for awhile. It is always busy. We finally got in and we weren't disappointed. Anthony, the host and one of the owners takes incredible pride in the food, the service and ambiance. Great passion. Sarah was our server and she was awesome. At her recommendation to try the edamame because it was truly unique, we did and it was so good. Very different in a positive way. We got the Pork Bao buns (a little more pork would be good), the Doragon and the Philly Maki. All were delicious. Great spicy mayo and eel sauce. Also liked the presentation. It's been awhile since we were wowed by a restaurant. Looking forward to our visit.

A modern and upscale sushi and Japanese fusion that is a must try. My wife got the Wasabi Martini. It's a unique take but it really works and sets the stage for the bites to come. We started with the Hamachi jalapeño crudo. The jalapeño dressing is made in house and makes this dish. It was delicious. For rolls, we experienced the Hono-Maki and the Sanshu. Both very different but loaded with flavor and truthful some of the best sushi I've had in Charlotte. Personally, the red chili on top of the Hono-Maki made it my favorite. You cannot go wrong with either. The entire experience was made possible and enjoyable by our outstanding waiter, Camilo. He was attentive, knowledgeable, and really elevated the entire experience. Thank you, Camilo and Oshen!

Excellent food and wonderful service! We were lucky to get a seat at the bar! The host took us to a corner and we ordered drinks until 2seats were available! Bartenders were friendly and helpful with what to order! Sushi was fresh and delicious! The place was packed and yet the hard working kitchen staff provided an excellent meal!

What a fantastic gem of a restaurant in this area of Charlotte! Food was delicious - the salmon and scallop were the stars. Not pictured was a sushi roll and a Japanese cheesecake, which were also fantastic. Service was friendly and attentive. We're already looking forward to our next visit.

Cute little place in a shopping center that feels a little odd, but there is nothing odd about Oschen , great food and awesome service. From the moment you walk in or out Anthony makes you feel so welcome and the place is immaculate. Food is very good and I can say the prices are beyond reasonable. Would say definetly drop in and give it a try.

Tried this new Restaurant on Rea Rd last night. Ambience was great. They did a great job of changing the atmosphere. This new restaurant is owned by the Viva chicken group. Waiter was attentive and answered all questions. My friends ordered the Sushi rolls and seemed to enjoy them. I has the Shrimp teriyaki and that's went things South. The shrimp were tiny and after the first bite I could tell they were pre cooked frozen imported shrimp. Very chewy and tasteless. The waiter came by to check on us and I expressed my displeasure. He offered to bring me another but why would I order another?? Overall it was disappointing. I'll go back and try it again since it's a new restaurant.

Javier took care of us and this experience was literally the most unexpected surprise! The sushi rivaled the "best" sushi in major cities. The sushi boat can't be missed or the torched whiskey cocktail. It could've been the amazing fish, cocktails or first class service, but DO NOT miss Oshen!!
