My girlfriend and I ordered food and 3 out of the 5 entrées had multiple pieces of hair in them. The very first bite of sushi she took had a hair in it. At first, we honestly weren't upset -- things happen -- but after finding a fourth hair, she called very politely just to ask if there was anything that could be done and even apologized for bothering them. The manager's response completely shocked both of us. He started the call with "listen, girl," then raised his voice at her and insisted she was wrong. It was incredibly uncomfortable and disrespectful to hear someone speak to her that way. I was honestly really upset and disappointed by how the situation was handled. We used to frequent King Kong Sushi, and it was one of our favorite spots. After this experience -- both the food quality and the way she was treated as a paying customer -- we won't be returning. It's really unfortunate because we genuinely liked the place, which makes this whole situation even more disappointing. read more

We spent way too long at this place because we enjoyed it so much! Cortlyn was an amazing waitress! No matter the different questions and times she went back and forth for us she did it with a huge smile. I am very picky about food but everything was amazing! The drinks did not disappoint and we sat outside near the water for hours. Everyone and everything was amazing! read more

Ordered hibachi shrimp lunch combo to go. The shrimp and vegetables were perfectly cooked and seasoned. The rice was good. The salad had dressing on side and miso soup was on point. It came with sauce and a to go cup of water. They will be my to go place for hibachi as well as sushi. This was my first time getting food to go from there as we've always eaten inside the restaurant. Great job! Look forward to the next time I go. read more

First time at this restaurant and the food is absolutely delicious I got crab cake sliders and they were fresh and very hot from just being cooked. My server Brianna is very friendly and quick. As soon as I sat down took my drink order right away and gave me a few minutes to decide. As soon as she took my order my food was in front of me quickly. I highly recommend this restaurant and ask for Brianna's section. She is a very sweet server who is very friendly and quick read more

Loved the spicy salmon and tuna rolls, also the aburi salmon nigiri! Iykyk! Thanks Sarah for great service at the bar!

Got a pick up. No Wasabi or spicy mayo which we asked for on the side. Sushi just didn't taste the same.

First time trying this place and I was very happy with all the food. Sushi was great, cocktails we amazing, and service was exceptional.

Solid 3.5 star bar. Reference matters, in the town they are located, they are one of the best. Compared to sushi restaurants I've been to, they are not that good. It is a bar, a sport's bar; not a restaurant and very different from what you normally expect as a typical sushi place. Nothing wrong with that, just curb your expectations. 1. Service: very nice, busy but attentive. what you'd expect from a sport's bar 2. Sushi: they are okay. Nothing special. 3. Ambience: loud, giant TVs for watching sports and tall tables and booths. If you are in Myrtle beach area, this is indeed the best spot to eat. Unfortunately the whole city is not a culinary destination, just sustenance. read more

King Kong always meet and exceed expectations and great service. I prefer the spicy type rolls

The service was good and the sushi rolls were great. I had the 007 roll and my hubby had the Volcanic roll that comes on "fire." They do have a $60 special for 2 soup/salads, 2 appetizers and 4 rolls which is a good deal but we went a la carte as the Volcanic roll was not included nor was the calamari which was so good!! read more

Just left King Kong in Carolina Forest. I've eaten there at minimum 5x over the past 8 months. They have recently increased their prices to unreasonable rates and shrunk their sushi sizes. My wife and I each had 10 pieces (5 orders) of Nigiri and zero alcohol. The cost was OVER $110!!! In the past this same order was $70 and we would leave completely full. That was not case tonight as we were both still hungry based the new smaller sizes! You should avoid this restaurant moving forward as they have changed too much and are now taking full advantage of the customer!!! read more

So. Much better than the one at Broadway! This one is always clean and friendly! They have a large attractive dining area and fresh choices of a large variety of sushi and other items. My favorite here is a shrimp tempura roll with cucumber and cream cheese topped with fresh tuna, massago ( I get extra) spicy Mayo and eel sauce! My friend loves their seaweed salad and if we are starving we like to add the baked mussels but we prefer they don't chop them up so they accommodate tgat request! read more

Delicious food! Friendly and relaxing place. Chef made sushi right in front of us. Will come again

Sat at the sushi bar, decent sushi and service. Not the best sushi or price but you could do worse. Open seating and nice atmosphere.

Excellent sushi! Fresh and great combos. Service is outstanding. Ambience is very laid back and fun. If you want great food, great service and wonderful atmosphere, this is your place! read more

I love King Kong Sushi!! I've gone to both the Broadway at the beach location and this one and both locations serve the same quality of food. I love the edamame, sweet calamari roll, and shrimp shumai (idk if I spelled that correctly) but 10/10 would recommend. Good groups, takeout and dine in. Enjoy! read more

Wow! I guess they moved to a new location in the plaza or did serious renovation/ business model change. Gone is the cozy dark upscale feel. In with cavernous fluorescent lighting and fast food vibe. It's a truly sad loss for our community. I'm so disappointed. read more

The sushi is always good. The bar is always good too. My wife and I come here every week. It's hit or miss with staff, some waitresses are great and others not so much. read more

The food was amazing as well as the atmosphere. This place has a lot of potential. They also have a large sushi variety To choose from the menu. The service could have been a lot better. They were not busy tonight it took a while for my server to approach me. This was supposed to have been a quick stop on my way home from the beach. Took way longer than I anticipated to get my order, refill my water and bring me my check. Someone else brought my check not my waitress. read more

This is a new location for this restaurant and it is very roomy. The hibachi chicken is great. It is served with rice, veggies and soup and salad. The sushi is always fresh and there are so many special rolls to choose from. The service was good. My only complaint is that if you order as a couple the food comes out on one plate and you only get enough wasabi and ginger for one person. The waitress brought more but we had to ask. I know this may not be a concern to some but it was a surprise to us. I think you probably could ask for separate plates if you know this and if it bothers you. read more

Our favorite sushi place. Also love their menu lost of options. Always tastes good. Great service too

This use to be our go to sushi place. Not anymore. The food was horrible at lunch today. When the waitperson was questioned about something my friend and I ordered we basically got an. "Oh well"! She took her roll home to give to her dog hers was so bad. I just didn't eat mine. Back in the old building if you didn't like what came to your table they would correct it. Not today. So we paid for food that was absolutely Not up to the old King Kong standards. You lost 2 customers today. Will not be returning and will stop referring them as a good place for sushi. read more

I've dined here over 100 times, used to be a weekly Date spot. Pre covid this place was hands down the best sushi in horry county, sadly it's only gone downhill since. They now have stickers on their menu that all sales are final so I'm assuming that means don't complain about what you order so I'm bringing my complaints here. Ordered salmon tempura roll, the salmon was gooey instead of crispy like it used to be, also got the 007 roll that's supposed to be topped with half the roll was missing avocado and none of it had teriyaki on it. We also got the frosty roll, half of which had no shrimp and one piece had a shrimp tail. It's sad to see such a good place go downhill but my last 3 experiences here were horrible so I'm going to be supporting other sushi business in the area for a while before I even try to come back(if I ever come back). read more

Literally the best meal I have had and I think my entire life. We ordered the tuna tataki, seaweed salad, house salad with ginger dressing, two New York rolls, two Miami rolls, and a ribeye, chicken and shrimp hibachi. A couple of glasses of the house Cabernet, and a red stripe lager. Everything was absolutely delicious and the service with Jennifer was amazing. We live in Murrells Inlet and drive all the way to Carolina Forest just to eat here because of the quality and the price! All of that and a side of fried rice was $106 - which isn't bad comparing to other sushi restaurants that we have eaten at in the grand strand area and down in Miami. King Kong CF is a taste of perfection! Thank you so much! read more

Sushi was delicious! It tasted very fresh and cut well. My husband and I ordered the big combo for $50 that comes with an soup/salad, 1 appetizer, 1 nigiri, 2 special rolls, and 3 regular rolls. All our rolls were awesome. The appetizer selection was a fail, I selected the bulgogi lettuce wraps but the flavor was very sweet and strange, not as expected. The service was great but upon entrance to the store no one greeted or helped us be seated for about 4-5 minutes, an awkwardly long time. The tables and other furniture could definitely use an upgrade, it's very dark inside which is kinda a cool vibe. read more

My wife and I came here last week when we were on vacation since it got pretty good reviews. Our lunch was surprisingly mediocre, we ordered the King Kong sushi roll, Hibachi Vegetables, Chicken Katsu, Shrimp Appetizer, and Smoked Duck breast app. Everything was terrible other then the Chicken Katsu which my wife and son thought were ok. The duck breast was very dry and the sushi roll was giant but the flavor was probably one of the top 5 worst sushi rolls i've had lifetime and i've had LOTS of sushi. The server also brought out the wrong sushi roll and seemed annoyed when I told her she didn't bring what I ordered. Meal price was about $85 after tip, I would definitely pass on this place unless you are just looking for some big sushi rolls to fill you up. Hibachi vegetables were decent so maybe the Hibachi entrees are better, but pass on the Sushi. read more

I love this restaurant and visit the Carolina Forrest location every time I visit Myrtle Beach. The sushi is fantastic, the quality of the food is top-notch, the servers are knowledgeable and friendly and the wide selection is unreal! The menu is huge with apps, entrees and well over 100 different sushi rolls, plus there's a picture and short description for every single item on the menu. Be prepared to be overwhelmed in the best way. A unique option offered by King Kong Sushi is the ability to order either full or half-sized rolls which gives the patron the opportunity to try more rolls, but still keep the size of the meal and the price down. I highly recommend King Kong Sushi! read more

King Kong Sushi - The best sushi ever! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

This was definitely among the best sushi we've ever eaten. Prices are appropriate and the options are practically endless. Our cocktails were tasty and definitely not weak. Not pictured is the Tori Maki appetizer which was creative and rich but the pico on was fresh and sweet. We had the Nigiri Starter and all the pieces looked and tasted incredibly fresh. The Frosty Roll was a great balance of sweet and salty with the mango/shrimp tempura combo. The teriyaki beef topped Bulgoki, Tuna Mania and Spicy Oyster Rolls were all as delicious as they were inventive. What we really appreciated was our server, Ashley. We chose both her suggestions and were really impressed. She was personable and patient as we looked through the extensive menu, too. Overall, a fantastic place for sushi and similar fare with a great cocktail selection and wonderful service. read more
