About The Company
Locally owned and allergy friendly, The Cowfish focuses on both the best sushi AND the best burgers. The sushi segment of the menu is powered by our commitment to sustainable seafood selections when able, sourced by our longtime Master Sushi Chef Rifali Almunir. All natural & hearty, our burgers feature hormone-free, humane certified beef & fresh, never frozen, ingredients from the best US farms. Appetizers for sharing & entree-sized salads, homemade desserts & a fun menu for kids are joined by our signature creations we call burgushi! A fusion of burger and sushi, burgushi items include sushi rolls created using burger components. If you can't make up your mind, try a bento box to sample a mini burger along with your choice of sushi roll & sides. Find us in Charlotte and Raleigh and at Universal's CityWalk in both Orlando and Beijing. Our sister concept, eeZ can be found at Birkdale Village in Huntersville, NC.
