Prime Fish stands as Charlotte's crown jewel for authentic Japanese cuisine, nestled in the vibrant Ballantyne neighborhood at 11212 Providence Rd W. This Michelin Guide 2025-featured restaurant was founded in 2020 by Executive Chef Robin, whose mastery of traditional Edomae (Tokyo-style) sushi has earned numerous accolades including Charlotte Magazine's 2021 Best New Restaurant and Best Sushi in Charlotte titles.

As Charlotte's first sushi chef to host a live Bluefin Tuna Show, his commitment to sourcing the freshest ingredients is unparalleled.
