The hibachi and sushi were so good... I had to spin the block twice. Two visits in one month says everything you need to know. From the Bento I had the Chicken during my 1st visit to the Shrimp hibachi bowl on my second to the delicious sushi rolls, every bite delivered. If you're looking for a spot that's worth going back to before the month is even over, this is it. The Papa Roll is on repeat for every visit. Love that's its spacing and has a beautiful bar. The service is a 10/10 both visits. They anticipated our needs both times. read more

This was my first experience at Konnichiwa and I loved it. The bento boxes and bowls are huge. I had the chicken bento and it was flavorful and tasty. Now when you go in you are greeted with the hostess yelling "konnichiwa" (it was funny). The waiter was attentive and very helpful. It is a family friendly establishment and I highly recommend. read more

We came here for lunch on a Saturday and would do it again. It is very clean inside and shiny. It looks like it might be a good place to watch sports maybe but we didn't. We especially liked a roll we asked them to make- eel avocado cucumber. read more

Sashimi and nigiri are pretty fresh! Sushi sashimi fusion had a pretty wide spread, but I don't think crab stick belongs on nigiri. I liked the hot sake, but I had to do a separate transaction for it for some reason and it wasn't cheap. read more

Really good bento box! I was craving one so bad and I made the right decision to come here. Portions are big and definitely worth your time and money. Service was good. I also wished there were a lunch menu? I came during lunch and there was no option for that which my meal did come a bit pricey but it's all good because it was delicious. read more

We went for sushi and it was excellent. Wait staff was friendly and efficient. The restaurant seems older but serves its purpose. Only issue I had was that the soy sauce bottle had a crack in it and when I told them they acted like it was fine and they already knew about it. read more

Ate an early dinner here with my husband. Areas in which we found this restaurant exceptional were service and speed. Our server was very polite and extremely attentive without being overly so. Our food was delivered much faster than we are accustomed to - our orders were correct and everything was good. I did not find the sushi to be exceptional, but it was good. My husband had a chicken katsu bento plate and he enjoyed it. read more

Food was delicious, the price was reasonable, and the service is great. Three of us each had a different bowl, chicken, ribeye, salmon. Blonde serving was so big that I have enough over for another full dinner. It was a great experience. read more

I'm not sure why I've never tried this place but we found our new spot. (For now :) ) Inside is a bit dated but it does not take away from the service and food. Service was fantastic. Sushi choices are the best around West Ashley. The sushi chefs kept sending over different sushi dishes to try. Great roll selection with limited cream cheese. Sorry but I've been eating sushi for 40 years, cream cheese does not belong in rolls unless it's a Philadelphia Roll. It was very quiet and I'm not sure why. I promise, I'm a sushi expert and this place is worth the visit. Not the "best" place in Charleston but close. read more

We came in an hour before close and they were still so nice to seat us and take wonderful care of us. Really good service and tons of sushi options! I had the crispy rice and it was good read more

We went for a casual dinner, and it was a pleasant experience! I tried the sashimi and sushi board, which were fresh and satisfying, while my brand had the hibachi, which was half off during dinner time and came with a nice soup and salad. The hibachi was flavorful and cooked to perfection. The service was friendly and attentive, and the restaurant was clean and comfortable. We visited on a Wednesday night, so it wasn't too crowded, which made for a relaxing atmosphere. The prices were reasonable, especially with the dinner specials, and we definitely felt we got good value for the meal. Overall, a great spot for a laid-back dinner with tasty food and good deals. We'll definitely be back! read more

Just had a bowl of steaming hot ramen at this beautiful, clean Japanese hot spot in West Ashley. The large bowl was filled with many slices of pork, slivered mushrooms, 2 egg halves, green onions, tons of noodles and a flavorful broth. I added hot sauce which kicked this savory delight up a notch. Our server was fine. The food arrived at our table in a flash. The parking lot is large and prices are fair.

I can never remember the names of the sushi rolls I get but I usually get one with eel and one with some form of tuna. The guy that greeted me was SO nice and had a great smile. I came here for a quick bite, sushi and miso soup. The place was huge and decor was definitely interesting lol there's a big motorcycle right in the front so I wasn't sure what they were going for but hey do your thing. Miso soup was tasty, and my sushi rolls came out very quick. I wasn't blown away but the taste was good. Rice was nicely packed and rolls were nice. I hate nothing more than rolls that are loosely rolled and or too big. I enjoyed my lunch and will be back to try more. read more

Was hoping it would be better. Nice big space, options for sushi and hibachi, but there were some issues all around (some beer/beverage lines were down, it took a while for anyone to come take our order after we were seated even though it wasn't crowded, the one salmon dish tasted off, the eggrolls were what you'd get from frozen supermarket, ginger salad had a mayo style dressing, etc.). On the good side, the service was friendly and the ramen bowl was OK, as was the yellowtail sushi. read more

I stopped in here again mid-day (3:30 pm?) after visiting a few stores in West Ashley...and I think I was maybe 1 of 3 customers while there? I noticed that again, all diners were seated in the left side of the restaurant only...whereas the nicer part of the restaurant was on the right side. Could be that they only serve the right side (as well as the left side) for dinner? Oh Well. Another thing I noticed by now (after visiting 3 chain locations in Charlotte and Charleston) is that although this is a Japanese restaurant, all the staff members seem to be Fillipinos. Could this be a Japanese restaurant owned and run by Fillipinos? No matter, the foods have tasted authentic...and service at all the locations I've been to have been stellar. Anyway, I ordered their House Salad with Ginger Sauce, Shrimp Tempura, and this Kamakaze Specialty Roll...and the foods were served within 5-10 minutes! As expected, everything was delish. The Ginger sauce was unique in that it was a creamy ginger mix...and the Shrimp Tempura was thin, but very crispy. More than anything, I was really impressed with the uniquely decadent taste of the Kamakaze...as in Oh WOW!! The thing I wasn't too amazed with was the chunky tempura flakes on top. Why so chunky?? Also, the presentation was a bit sloppy. Still, it was SO delicious...and such a value! The Kamakaze specialty roll was only 12 bucks...unusually low pricing (in terms of specialty rolls) nowadays. I'm obviously a fan of this chain by now...and am sure to return! read more

Went for an early dinner after a sushi craving hit a member of my group. There weee only three other tables of customers when we showed up and I hope it was only because of the early dinner hour. The service was amazing and the food delicious. They happily accommodated a special roll that was just what we wanted. The vegetables in the bento boxes were exceptionally better than expected. I was surprised the chicken katsu was nuggets and not a patty but still good. read more

Great staff, quick service and yummy eats. They handed our party of close to forty (yes, we called ahead to ensure sufficient wait staff) quite well. They could have been slightly more attentive to the who ordered what as they use the toast app device to come around to the seats to ring in the order -- but as the food came out it became a bit of a bidding match as to who ordered what and if this one had shrimp or beef or who's was what's. However, again, for the crowd they did well at getting the food out quickly. Their Rice Bowls are a deal as you can select chicken, steak and shrimp for under twenty bucks. The chicken is nice and tender. If you like cooked carrots these are a nice addition to (and out of the norm for) a hibachi bowl. The shrimp sashimi is a little bizarre as this is served slightly undercooked (raw shrimp) with the shrimp heads on display with the shrimp over a bump of rice. However, they have my current favorite Sushi Dinner roll wrapped in cucumber without the nori-- The Greenville Roll with smoked salmon, tuna, kani and avocado served with ponzu and sweet chili on top. Pretty presentation here and you don't feel heavy after eating it (as this roll has no rice). read more

Our birthday celebration gathering for John Boy Joyner. They have a Wishing Well at the entrance along with a beauty of a motorcycle. We walked in and were seated right away. The very efficient server came and took our orders- there were plenty of so not sure how he kept it all straight! They offer Adult beverages, beer and saki. Wide variety if Chinese foods. I chose the Bento box with a side of scallops. Most of the others had bowls with a variety of meat and veggies. It was a slow night so we could get rather loud for the Birthday boy's celebration. We enjoyed watching John open his haul of goods. Great place for a large party or casual dinning. Handicap parking in a large shared parking area read more

This was another huge disappointment on my recent business trip to SC and maybe the worst meal I ate during the trip. I visited late one night since I had eaten a very late lunch. The drive from my hotel was about 12 minutes. I visited about 1 hour before closing...and that is apparently when they have half off hibachi. I decided to skip that deal, and just stuck with sushi. I ordered what I thought was 2 rolls. A yellowtail jalapeño small plate, and another larger roll with a few different fish. The 1st roll turned out to be a hot appetizer that was deep fried, with no indication on the menu it was hot or fried. I could only eat 1 bite and just left it. The roll was OK, but not fresh at all. I was able to eat most of the 2nd roll, which was an actual roll; however, the fish was just not fresh as I am accustomed to eating. Maybe I just went on an off day, and at a bad time, but I obviously won't ever be coming back. read more

Massive place that is always empty. The rice is dry and the fish is old. Very odd establishment.

Walk into an amazing ambient moment of zen. The friendly staff greet you with a smile as the center piece is a motorcycle! When asked about the motorcycle, an employee was more than happy to mention how the 2 wheeler centerpiece was from the 1970s! Upon entering the amazing dining establishment, a fountain meets the eye.. The atmosphere is very relaxed! You get a moment of zen relaxing vibe; a good way to relax after work. The interior is very intriguing. There is a lot of visual art and amazing decor! There are numerous gluten free options clearly marked! The food was awesome! The hibachi and sushi was delicious :-). They even offered hibachi! Great for small groups and large groups! Very entertaining for birthdays and special occasions! Fun for the entire family! read more

Excellent sushi, just satisfactory service in a kind of bare setting that hasn't changed much from the previous buffet setup unfortunately (especially since the sushi is fairly pricey.) I didn't like that the sushi was served on a wooden board - I don't understand why anyone would do that. I felt ignored for 10 minutes and didn't get water until I asked for it. They were out of the first sake' I tried to order but suggested a decent alternative. I needed to ask for chopsticks. All in all the sushi is the redeeming factor that will probably get me back. read more

Great service and great food. Not the best sushi but very affordable for quality. Highly suggest the Mama roll as you won't regret it.

There have been far too many changes in management and kitchen staff lately, and it's definitely affected the consistency and quality of this restaurant. I've noticed portions getting smaller while prices keep going up -- clear signs of price gouging. The staff also seem disorganized, with people moving in and out constantly, which doesn't inspire confidence. Operations should be more visible and transparent, not hidden away in the back. On top of that, I have serious concerns about cleanliness and overall standards. The place no longer feels as well-maintained or professionally run as it once did. It's disappointing to see a restaurant with potential fall short due to poor management decisions and a lack of quality control. read more

The restaurant itself is quite large but feels like it could either use a facelift or at least a makeover. While the decor just on this side of tacky, the service was warm and outstanding. Every waitstaff on shift was on the ready to pull out a warm smile and a helpful response. The food was not a Michelin-star meal, but after having been submerged in above average fried seafood for several days, the hit of umami was a mirage in the Sahara. The restaurant accommodated our large party of 10 with no wait and no issues. Reliable. A pleasant experience was had by all. read more

Not even exaggerating-- Konnichiwa isn't a restaurant, it's a spiritual awakening. The chicken katsu? Sent from heaven. The dumplings whispered my name before I ate them. My waiter made eye contact with me once and I remembered my purpose in life. If you haven't eaten here, you haven't lived. Thank you Konnichiwa. I am reborn. read more

We were in town for a night and decided on this place for dinner since our family wanted sushi. I didn't get pics of everyone's food but my veggie roll was pretty good. I got two of them, one was customized to be deep fried which tasted a lot better. I would probably give 3 starts but our server was really nice and accommodating. Our food took a long time to come out and we were waiting a while for the check too. The place is pretty big inside and I think it would be fun with friends! My husband got 2 different rolls and he only liked the taste of one. Overall if I was in the area and specifically craving the same exact roll, I'd come back but otherwise it's a pass. read more
