Our chef was amazing -- I can't remember his name, but he works in Lexington on the weekends and…read moreIrmo during the week. He did a great job and really made the experience enjoyable. The hostess was also very friendly, greeting us when we came in and again when we were leaving. Our server was Jasmin, and unfortunately she didn't seem very friendly. She placed our bowls of soup out of reach, rarely refilled our drinks (only once, and that was because another server was filling them), and never checked in with us. When we asked questions, she seemed distracted and was looking behind us rather than engaging with us. When she brought the to-go boxes, she held them behind us instead of placing them in front of us. We were honestly thankful that another server stepped in to help, because we felt like we were inconveniencing Jasmin. I just wish we had cash so we could have tipped the cook and the other server separately.

The owner / chef Ryo takes care in what he's making and shows great pride in his finished product and it tastes great too. He gets fish that other restaurants do not have access to or have chosen not to purchase. I have seen flying fish, jellyfish, fresh Cobia, fresh Spanish mackerel, live clams and scallops and other seafood that you cannot obtain anywhere else. If you are looking for the best sushi in the area, you don't need to go anywhere else. You can go anywhere and buy a California roll but that is really not what I would consider sushi that's like going to Ruth Chris steakhouse and ordering a hot hot dog.

Miyabi Jr express located in Lexington, is closest hibachi to Chapin with a 31 minute drive. Being…read morethat the drive over and back for Chapin residents will take you hour minimum is unfortunate. This restaurant is set up just like the one in Florence we enjoyed except there is more indoor seating table/booths. Our food was made to order with no complaints by me. The pricing is adequate for the portion received. The staff on night we arrived were socially pleasant. Other than the distance the other negative for me is that they close at 9pm on weekends. You be the judge if this is early or about right.

We recently visited to celebrate my son's birthday. I made a reservation and we were seated…read morepromptly. We waited at a minimum for 15 minutes to be greeted by our server. Once she arrived she took our drink orders and after waiting so long we were ready to place our order. I point this out because people seated after us not only placed their drink order but received their drinks before we were even greeted. We waited an additional 20 ish minutes to receive our drinks. I had to find someone to follow up on our orders. It was very disappointing, especially for the price point! We all go to hibachi for the "fun," "show," and "experience." Sadly it didn't deliver. It was a bit MEH. The food was good, but that's kinda it. One positive is that if you bring a cake they will store it in the fridge until your meal is over. I'm not sure that we will return. There are other establishments that we may try next time.

I was a little disappointed that the options were very minimal and the prices were so expensive.! I got the hibachi shrimp and teriyaki chicken with vegetables only . Everything had good flavor and the chicken was cooked well. The shrimp was good as well. They had a spicy sauce that was a little lighter than sriracha but was very good. I'd give it a 7/10.

Cuisine: 6 Service: 5…read moreDecor: 6 Value: 4 Overall: 5 Somehow paying over $20 for a bowl of ramen in Lexington just feels wrong. That's what I begrudgingly pay in NYC and I rarely do that. Doing so here makes me wonder if I have made a poor life choice. Lol Anyway, it's a decent bowl of ramen. The tonkatsu broth was okay, but clearly lacks some depth of flavor. The noodles and meat were okay too, but the best thing in the bowl was the wonderful egg. Service is not really existent, but I was taken back by the server telling me that they are closing multiple times even though I still have time left. I only took 15 minutes to eat my bowl of ramen btw.

Everyone was pleasant, welcoming, and attentive. Our server, Made, was incredibly friendly and helpful. Since it was our first visit, he took the time to explain the menu and made sure we had everything we needed. He was truly on point! My husband ordered the deep-fried Mama Roll, and I ordered the Hwy 9 Roll without avocado. Our food came out hot, fresh, and absolutely delicious! Between the excellent food, clean atmosphere, and outstanding service, Konnichiwa definitely earned a 10/10 from us. We will absolutely be returning!

Overall, this was a solid sushi spot.

The menu changes often and everything tastes delicious- I can't recall ever being disappointed by their execution. One time (I've been many times) I ordered this raw(?) sushi taco dish that I probably wouldn't have ordered if I actually knew what it was (before it arrived of course). But hey, it was actually damn good! THEIR NOODLES ARE FANTASTIC and I have never been disappointed by the tapas. Vegans/Vegetarians, this is a great spot for you. They have more options than other Columbia restaurants. An entire vegan menu! Their service is great, never had a bad experience. I once got rejected by my ID because it's beat up (or because it's a vertical, I forget), but that's just policy. Not their fault. But be wary if you have a really beat up or vertical ID since their policies have changed recently.
