Leonard Avenue
Albemarle's neighborhood table — where the grill runs hot, the sushi is always fresh, and the room stays surprisingly calm no matter how busy it gets.
Right in the heart of Albemarle
Tucked into a quiet stretch of Leonard Avenue near Rock Creek Park and Eastgate Shopping Center, this location draws regulars from across Stanly County — people who just know where to go for a good meal.
A dining room with its own personality
Always busy, yet the dining room stays calm and unhurried. The sushi chef knows the menu cold — low-carb hibachi, fresh rolls, and more than you'd expect.

Dinner was very good. The 3 of ate for less than $40.00. Hibachi chicken with rice sliced carrots and mushrooms. Side salad drinks and a order of sushi. We could not eat all of our meals so we brought what we had left home with us.
