This place was amazing to say the least. First off, the ambiance was awesome and decorations were so good. The food my wife and I ordered were a treat too. Our waitress, Jordan, was probably one of the best servers I’ve had in a long time. She was really knowledgeable and even recommended some of the Chef’s specials they had going for the evening. She was very attentive and thorough with us and we even tried one of her favorites that she personally loved to eat. The sushi was absolutely delicious. And to top things off, the cinnamon beignets at the end of the night were definitely a winner. Thank you so much for making my wife and I’s 2nd year wedding anniversary so special. We will certainly be back! Cheers!

I’m writing this review while memories of sushi and yakitori in Japan are still fresh from a few months ago.

Upon entering this establishment you get a bursts of aromatic flavors in your nostrils. So you know the food is going to be great. Coming from a Caribbean background this was the best tasting sushi I’ve ever eaten. Although I can’t remember the names of everything I ate, here are some pics. Our waitress with the beautiful nails was extremely pleasant and the ambiance was sophisticated and chic.

Baku has the best sushi ever. I’ve ordered things I don’t fully know the name of, but I’ve never seen at any other place. The family style dinner, small plates, many dishes is a great way to try different things. Pork belly is amazing. We go here for special occasions. Atmosphere is quiet, classy.

Our service was excellent along with our food and drinks. Talla was our server and he did do an extraordinary job explaining when we asked him questions about the menu.

We’ve been to Baku before, and I can’t imagine why I haven’t previously reviewed them, because they’re AMAZING! This time we went for my birthday dinner, and WOW. It’s by far the best sushi we’ve had in Charlotte, and we’ve had some pretty good sushi/Nigiri/Sashimi in town. Honestly, I think it rivals the best Sushi we’ve had in NYC. The tuna and salmon Sashimi were fabulous, to the point that my wife was shushing me, because I was a little overly enthusiastic in describing how delicious it was. Not as loud as When Harry Met Sally, but you get the idea.

My new found favorite. We discovered Baku by accident heading to a different restaurant. The food was delicious and since we’ve gone back twice. Staff has been super friendly but the food is exceptional.
