Ru San’s isn’t fancy and it doesn’t have to be.

It’s all about the utility.

Why? Because their $11.75 all-you-can-eat sushi lunch buffet is FREAKING DELICIOUS.

Lunch only: Monday – Friday 11:30 a.m. – 2:30 p.m. and Saturday 12 p.m. – 3 p.m.

The buffet isn’t pretty. Sushi is time stamped. Tongs are weak plastic. Table cloth is budget.

But, the sushi selection is outstanding.

Buckets of wasabi and ginger.

Ru San’s lunch is a melting pot of Charlotte.

But everybody has one thing in common: sushi loving. Talk to somebody new in the buffet line. Hot buffet too!

And, the sushi chefs are working non-stop. So it’s always coming out.

Pace yourself. Put together the perfect plates of sushi.

Pro tip: Get a new plate.

Don’t be the dirty plate guy.
