A revolving sushi bar is coming soon to University City. Here’s what we know

A new all-you-can-eat sushi spot is coming soon to Charlotte.

Shinjuku Station revolving sushi bar will set up shop in the Grande Promenade shopping center in University City, per the restaurant’s website, though an official opening date wasn’t announced.

It marks the restaurant’s second North Carolina location, joining an existing spot in High Point that opened in January 2025. Shinjuku Station will also open locations in Raleigh and Winston-Salem, its website says.

Sushi lovers can look forward to premium sushi, nigiri and more than a dozen specialty rolls, according to an online menu. Appetizers include classics like crab rangoon, shrimp skewers and fried calamari, just to name a few.

As far as entrees, guests can pick from chicken teryaki, tonkatsu ramen and steak hibachi.
