"Robin Anthony's intimate Toyosu-sourced omakase — a Michelin Guide counter and the South's most serious sushi seat, made for a quiet celebration."
About Omakase Experience by Prime Fish
Omakase Experience by Prime Fish is the tasting-counter sibling of the Prime Fish seafood restaurant on Providence Road in south Charlotte. Chef Robin Anthony runs a tight, reservation-only room where guests sit at the counter and the meal is built and served piece by piece in front of them.
It is listed in the MICHELIN Guide, and Anthony was named a 2026 James Beard Award semifinalist for Best Chef: Southeast — rare recognition for a sushi counter in the American South.
The Kitchen
Chef Robin Anthony sources his fish directly from Tokyo's Toyosu market, and the format is classic Edomae omakase: a sequence of nigiri and small courses dictated by what arrived that week. The word omakase means “I leave it to you,” and here that trust is the whole experience — you eat what the chef judges best, in the order he chooses.
Lunch is a 10-course menu at $175; dinner runs 16 courses from $325, with optional sake and wine pairings adding $100–200.
The Room
The counter seats only a handful of guests per service, which keeps the room quiet and the pace deliberate. There is no printed menu to chase and no rush; the evening moves at the chef's hand. It is an intimate, grown-up setting rather than a buzzy sushi bar.
For a livelier Charlotte dinner, the parent Fin & Fino and seafood-led Peppervine are the natural alternatives.
Best for a Quiet Celebration
The small counter and unhurried, chef-led pacing make this one of Charlotte's strongest seats for a milestone anniversary or to impress a guest who knows their sushi. The intimacy also suits a memorable first date for two who want to talk.
Not for
Not for large groups, walk-ins, picky eaters who want to choose every dish, or anyone after a quick, affordable bite — it is a fixed, premium tasting.
