Eez Fusion Grille & Sushi Bar

Best sushi experience I’ve had, hands down. While they are almost always packed, I have really never had poor service. Cocktails are great. Get the tuna nachos if you’re looking for a great app (add siracha for bonus points). All of their specialty rolls are incredible and fresh. If you’re truly starving, grab a bento box. Delicious!

I loved Eez, but I have never been more disappointed in a restaurant than my last visit. Our waitress treated us like third class citizens, causing us to completely miss our movie, nearly forgetting to give my sister her to-​go box and only refilling our drinks twice in the two hours we were there (not by choice). I understand we are college students and carry that stigma, but I have no problem paying for good food and good service.
Honestly, I am not sure what happened to Eez.

Well, I love the pad Thai and curry dishes I’ve had here, but tonight I came with my Vancouver BC sushi snob friend and everything we ordered got rave reviews! We started with blackened tuna nachos followed by Tasmanian Devil and mad mango-​cado rolls! Yummy with a Conundrum white wine! Must try this one!

We were seated right away even though it was a bit busy, around 130 or so. The food was very good and I was in even better company with a girlfriend I hadn’t seen in awhile. Around three the waitress was ready for us to leave, bringing us checks, boxes, collecting the card and the tip receipt all within about ten minutes and sat watching us waiting for us to leave from a nearby table — this made our visit a bit uncomfortable.

Went to Eez for the first time and we loved it. From Hostess to Service and Food it was all Excellent. Will be going back. We Started with the Crab Rangoon Appetizer which was plenty for 2 and then we both had the Stir Fry. both were excellent. Looking forward to going back and getting the build your own Sushi.

The menu is so large here it took us forever to decide on what we wanted! I give them credit for the unique options and the «fusion.» My husband went with a bento box, which includes a taco, four sushi rolls, thai cucumbers, edamame, and jasmine rice. It was much bigger than I expected it to be and is a great way to try a little bit of everything. I ordered the double salmon rolls (because I am a salmon LOVER) and the TNT rolls with spicy tuna, kani, avocado and masago. Rolls here are relatively pricey but they are big. We went in on a monday night where they also offered half-​priced house cocktails as a drink special. However, I was very disappointed in my cocktail. I believe there was no alcohol in it, or a very little amount. I guess this is how they get by with half-​priced cocktails. I got the Strawberry Gravitron with gin, strawberries and lime, so they say. However, I’m convinced it was just club soda because there was no alcohol taste and it was pretty bland. Anyway, fortunately the food was good, and the service was great as well.

We love Eez! We have been here twice and was not disappointed. My husband and j both got the stir fry bowl.
One had chicken with chefs choice of veggies.
The other stir fry bowl we had was scallops and pick your own veggies! The scallops were the small size ones.
For the veggies you have to go to their «market» and you pick any veggie you want, put them in a bowl piled high and place it on the chefs counter!
I thought that was a different dining experience and fun!
They have a ton of sushi to choose from, or you can build your own ! Tell them what you want and that is what you will get!

Years ago, Eez was (admitantly) my first experience with sushi. Since the opening of Cowfish, I find myself at Cowfish more than Eez but still like to visit Eez when me (and the people I’m with) are in the mood for just sushi.
Is this place kinda expensive? Yeah. But it’s good and always fresh. The most affordable option is the create-​your-​own-​sushi roll. The last time I went, I had shrimp tempura, cream cheese, avocado, cucumber. Other than the ABUNDANCE of sesame seeds (which I didn’t order), it was delicious. I have always been pleased and will keep coming back. Next time, I will specifically say «hold the sesame seeds»

My second time here and loved it just as much as the first! The food is SO amazing. I always enjoy a sweet potato Rolle since I’m not big into seafood… They didn’t have it on the menu, but we’re very happy to make it for me. I also highly recommend the stir fry bar bowls. SO much food!!! They even have an option where you can go pick your own veggies at the market downstairs. How cool is that?
Only downfall is we went on a Saturday evening and waited nearly 45 minutes. The waiting area is extremely cramped. And people are walking all over you to get in and out.
I did like the fact they text you when you are up next to be seated. That way you can go enjoy the Birkdale Village shops!
If you love anything sushi, or Japanese go here! You won’t be disappointed and I can promise you’ll be back.

Eez is really pricy but I definitely recommend going for lunch! Their lunch rolls are much cheaper and the seaweed salad is amazing!

Came here for their lunch special (11am-​4pm). They had a good selection of food for a lunch menu. And the prices were good for the amount of food you got.
The rolls in general did look pretty pricey. Maybe next time i’ll try it out!
The décor of the restaurant is well thought of and very modern. The lime green walls remind me of wasabi haha

Food was great! Lots of good Sushi. Highly recommend the Rainbow, California and Mad Mangocado Rolls

I’ve been here and Cowfish many times, and multiple times I’ve been told that Eez is the better location of the two (mainly because they get there first pick of fish of the truck when it comes into town) — but its hard to choose. My last few experiences I’ve had I had a waiter named Casey, who was great a giving reviews of food he thought was good. An app that he suggested and we tried was the Blanked Tuna Nachos, they were delicious! The Bento boxes are nice to try a mixture of food. Can’t wait to come back and try something new. =)

First time here, AND I AM A BIG FAN! First off, I had NO idea that this place is run by the same people who own Cowfish!!! The menus are eerily similar, but minus the burgers and «burgerushi.»
First date with Michelle, and it goes GREAT! I don’t know if was my stunning personality, the great food, great service, combination, or just the stars in alignment… but Eez was really a great first date choice!
I broke my Birkdale Village cherry on this choice (Yeay!) and so glad I did! What a wonderful place with MANY choices of so many things to do places to eat establishments to imbibe at!
I SHOULD have written this review right after our date… but better late than never, huh? Anywho… we ordered a great Mt Veeder wine… nothing better than Napa Cabernet on a first date, right? Our waitress was fantastic, and made some great recommendations, like the Boss and Blackened Tuna Rolls. Both were excellent! This is where I noticed the connection to Cowfish… sushi rolls but not quite ordinary sushi rolls… We got the Mongolian beef as well. Not quite as good as PF Changs MB but very tasty.
No first date would be complete without flowers, and Michelle was blown away by them. I mean, guys don’t bring flowers on first dates anymore? Whiskey Tango Foxtrot? Well I DO! So there!
Anyway, a really great vibe here and I can see why it’s so popular in this area! When I’m back up this way I will definitely stop back to try their many other dishes!
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

After writing my first review someone on the eez fusion team reached out to me on Unilocal and invited me back. It is great to see when a business actually reads its reviews and values customer opinions.
I went back tonight with two of my friends. There was a bit of a wait, but we got there around 7 with the dinner rush. We were seated outside as that was the first available. You should not be worried about being cold if you get seated in the outdoor area. They enclose the patios and crank the heaters to the point that it’s warmer out there than it is in the actual restaurant. If you’re waiting for a table don’t be afraid to tell them you’ll take first available.
We tried some rolls that I had never had before tonight. One of my new favorites is the all eyes on you roll. It has crabcake and a scallop on each piece of the roll. It was something new and exciting. We also got the firecracker roll which was delicious but to me it wasn’t anything special. I am all about trying their fusion and specialty rolls that are unique to the restaurant.
Service was great, our server Mark was very attentive to our table and made sure we had refills.

I came here for lunch on Friday and was very impressed. The staff was really helpful and knowledgeable. Was seated immediately with no wait. The food was just as good. To add, they have both a sushi bar and wine bar.
Our food came out in a reasonable timeframe in which we both ordered the custom bento boxes. We both enjoyed our meals. I had the firecracker roll and she had the blackened tuna roll which both was really good. I also had the blackened mahi mahi taco which was lacking a little bit on flavor so it was just ok to me. She also had the Mongolian beef which was good and they serve you a lot of it too.
Overall it’s a great sushi spot to hang out at. And what makes it even better, there’s a movie theater literally in walking distance.

Best sushi in the Lake Norman area! This is a well known sushi restaurant to many in the area. No matter what night you choose to go there is always a crowd waiting for a table. Be sure to arrive early and enjoy the bar, they make a great martini! I highly recommend the Mark’s roll it’s delicious. My new favorite is the two time roll because it is wrapped in thin cucumber instead of rice and the flavoring is a little sweet with tuna. If you really like the chefs to pile it high, choose the Tropical roll, it’s huge! All of the chefs are very talented so if you want to build a roll they will make it for you.
It gets really busy here so it’s okay to eat at either the bar or the sushi bar, the staff really takes care of you.

Their food is average. The prices are ridiculous and too high for the little bit of food you get. My family ordered food to go, and paid almost $ 70 for a meal that barely fed all of us (Sushi and fried rice). I won’t be returning here. The food is not good enough (to me) to spend that much money on such s tiny portion.
The employees are really nice and helpful. I’ve been here before and ate inside, and had no problems. But their prices and portion sizes are just not my style.

Another excellent restaurant from the owners of Cow Fish in South Charlotte. Eez is a fusion of Thai food and Sushi but they also have a nice selection of tacos. I typically get the Bento box which includes one taco (fish, beef, or chicken) and one sushi roll of your choice. I’ve had a few of the different taco options now, the blackened Mahi Mahi is really good as is the Thai Curry Chicken. I’m not a huge connoisseur of sushi but I have come to really appreciate it. The Mark’s roll is really good by itself but the added kick of Sriracha puts it over the edge for me. Next time I think I’m going to try and Firecracker roll though, a college I was dining with ordered it and it looked really good as well. I also tried some of the Pad Thai my wife ordered and it was solid as well. Overall excellent restaurant and I’m really glad it’s in the neighborhood. The hike down to Cow Fish can be daunting (but also worth it).
The space is much bigger than I initially thought. There are two main dining areas with quite a bit of seating. I’ve never had to wait long for a table which has been nice. I think the longest I’ve had to wait is 15 minutes. With all of the shops at Birkdale nearby time flies by. Don’t forget to grab a fortune cookie on the way out. It’s easy to forget!

We were walking through the neighborhood when we passed by Eez. What a genius feeling I had to decide to have lunch here.
The atmosphere is very laid back, clean but very nice interior. Very friendly staff and the food was awesome.
We had Edamame as an appetizer and I had teriyaki salmon for lunch. That topped off with a nice cup of tea at the end made my day.
This is definitely a place to stop by to enjoy lunch or dinner alone or with friends.
We’ll definitely come back here soon :-)
