We've been living in Beaufort for a year now and can't believe it took us this long to try it. We ordered several of their most popular dishes--Monica Salad, Choi Roll, Birthday Roll, Snow Roll, White Castle, and Marine Roll--and every single one was amazing. Each roll had a clean, unique flavor combination, and it's clear that a lot of thought goes into the ingredients and pairings. We couldn't stop talking about each dish as we left. It really was that good. The restaurant is run by Mr. Choi and Mrs. Monica, who were both so warm and friendly. They gave great recommendations, and service was excellent. We're already planning our next visit!!

Hi Everyone, Ya,…read moreknow, maybe you don't feel like bagging your lunch today, or making diner tonight, but you've got to eat! What ever will you do? What type of food do you want to eat, now or later? Questions, questions, those nagging questions. Well we here, in the peanut gallery, may have a solution for you today. If you enjoy eating Sushi (Japanese cuisine, in which raw or cooked fish can be inserted into or be placed a top a rice roll with other ingredients). Now I thought that Sushi was ONLY raw fish (which I know you knew, but I didn't, lol), and Sushmi which I thought was actually only cooked fish inserted in, or a top a rice roll, with other ingredients, such as seaweed, cream cheese, imitation crab (I.e. pressed white fish) etc... But, bust my buttons, Sushmi is actually Hindu female name, not a name for Asian cusine, which means welcoming or pleasant, (which I know you knew, but I didn't, lol), but I digress, along with some other Chinese classics then we can highly recommend you visit AKOMEYA right here in Bluffton, SC. Why? Because my friends, their food entrees are actually very savory and delicious treats. Their ambiance is inviting, neat, and clean. Their Servers are friendly, personable, and helpful. Their prices are affordable, that's right, as in, most of us can actually afford to pay for them. For instance, they offer four lunch (ONLY) Chinese meals that are relatively healthy as prepared with a delicate balanced of ingredients that are tastebuds delight. And yes, Jethro, them there "viddles" will fill your belly and keep you a comin back for more helpins! But for how much? $10.00 per entree. Now that them their is an affordable price for lunch, even for Jethro da Bodeen. Their diner menu offers many delightful and tasty tantalizing entrees as well which we have also have enjoyed multiple times. So if you have a hankerin for some good viddles like our man Jethro, it's time to get on down to AKOMEYA and git sum. BTW, Akomeya is also a specialty rice shop with locations at many major train stations in Tokyo. Although rice is their main focus, they also offer an impressive selection of kitchen goods, condiments, and snacks--making it a must-visit for cooking enthusiasts or anyone in search of thoughtful, Japan-made gifts (which I know you knew, but I didn't ). Enjoy!

We walked in and the was ONE table of five in the whole place. Should have been our first sign…read more The service was the WORST I've ever had! The server asked once if we needed drinks. Never asked again. Then I asked for a glass of water and she didn't say a word. Just turned around and got it. Brought it back and just sat it down and walked away. We ordered two sushi rolls and she didn't bring utensils to eat it with. I had to find them for us. Then my wife wanted a little bowl for soy sauce. I had to go find it because our server was no where to be found. She had an attitude about anything we asked for. I'm not joking when I say it was the worst service I've ever had. Needless to say the tip wasn't what it should have been or could have been. Now the food? Awesome! I had the hot sand sour soup (one of the best I've ever had), we had two different sushi rolls. One was the Akomeyea roll and the other was some tuna roll I didn't eat. The chicken low mien was very good and plenty of it. I gave it 3 stars because the food was very good. If we ever decide to get dinner here again it would definitely be to go. No way would I eat in the restaurant again with service like that and as empty as the place was. I get why it was like that if all the service is like that.

We ended up at Sake House, a very pleasant middle of the road Japanese option. The menu is quite large and the staff are adorably friendly, we tried quite a few things and weren't disappointed.

There were 5 of us. Two of us ordered hibachi. I had the shrimp hibachi and the other was a steak combo. Both were tasty and well cooked. A bowl of miso soup was included and was Japanese restaurant worthy. One had a meat calzone and one had lasagna. Both said they were very good. The final had a house salad. It looked average. Our server Kelly was friendly and efficient, timing her visits to the table well. The restaurant has a bar and grill vibe with large tvs over the bar area running the length of much of the dining room. Beer/wine selection were all big brewers. Would be nice to have a few local brews on tap. Italian and Japanese? I'd still question any restaurant with this combination, but Ryan's pulls it off very well. Prices are reasonable.

The noodles in my Ramen were Al dente and I personally prefer my pasta more cooked, but the flavor was spot on. Soft shell crabs were in season, so that helped my wife decide on the Spider Roll which she thoroughly enjoyed. The server helped my wife decide which oysters she should get and it was the perfect choice! She wanted to go back the next night to get them again. Everything we had was fresh and flavorful. It really was a very wonderful meal and evening! Will definitely eat there again if we visit Beaufort in the future.
