Andrew P.

This place is a great blend of Mexican and Japanese cuisine if you need a quick bite after walking up King Street! The service and food delivery were exceptionally fast and friendly. I had the bluefin tuna nachos which were well presented and abundant with fish, but did have that high quality bluefin tuna texture I'm used to. For my main meal I had the Birria ramen that I ate with excitement, but was a little disappointed with the lack of meat in the ramen and the over abundance of cheese in the taco to dip in their broth. The noodles were quite firm to my liking! I would definitely go back and try out more simple items rather than the "fusion" stuff.

Tacos & Sushi? Sign me up! Mesu is an awesome Mexican Sushi fusion restaurant on King Street! The aesthetic here is great & the vibes are perfect for a meal with friends or a date night! There's bound to be something for everyone no matter what you're craving; & it's all delicious! If you have a hard time choosing between so many tasty options, I totally recommend trying a little bit of everything! The sushi is incredibly fresh and well prepared. The bao bun rocked & all of the taco combinations hit the spot! You need to check them out!

I have been on the fence about trying this spot because sushi and Mexican food didn't sound like a good mix. Through a Yelp experience I had the opportunity to try it and I am happy to report that the food was amazing!! I was pleasantly surprised. I was there for a Halloween event so all of the spooky cocktails were crafted to fit the occasion and tasty. The bartenders were the only staff members I had the chance to interact with and everyone was nice. The food itself: there was an assortment of sushi to choose from, street corn ribs, birria, dumplings, and tacos. Every bite I had was great. I'll def be coming back with my friends so they can enjoy a Mesu experience as well.

Tonight I crept into the Mesu Halloween Bash, and it was such a vibe! The place was alive with hauntingly good music, eerie lights, and plenty of spooky energy. My top food picks were the crispy rice and the Mesu Roll -- a lighter sushi with ahi tuna (my fav), avocado, white fish, tomatillo salsa, and cilantro. It was a fresh, flavorful contrast to the other fried treats at the party. The restaurant was transformed into a haunted hideaway draped in cobwebs and Halloween décor. The wait staff kept the plates coming and the tables clear. The only slight delay was at the bar, where our spooky-themed cocktails took a bit longer to brew... but honestly, with the high vibes, we didn't mind.

We went to Mesu for dinner and had a great time! They were kind enough to seat us with about 5 minutes left before the kitchen closed which we really appreciated. We started with the street corn which came cut into long pieces instead of on the cob and it was incredible. We also got the guac queso and salsa sampler which is such a good app choice if you're with a group. The sushi was surprisingly really good too and super fresh with no fishy odors. We tried a few different tacos and the Baja fish taco had a bit too much slaw on top which kind of took away from the other ingredients but overall everything else was solid. Definitely would recommend this spot for small bites and drinks!

I recently visited Charleston for our birthday getaway and this was the first place. I stopped and got some food. It was really close in the neighborhood that I was staying so we were able to walk to it. We went during happy hour wish a happy hour from 4 to 6. They had a new appetizer which was the calamari and pork belly and I decided to try it. It was pretty good, but I will say that it was overpriced for the portion size. I believe I paid 22 or $23 for it. The margarita was also on the happy hour menu. And it was a great price and tasted delicious. It's for my entrée. I got the brisket nachos, which was an amazing portion for the price of $20. I found it interesting that they used Gouda cheese, extra cheese a choice on their different tacos and nachos. I thought it was an interesting mix of flavors because the spot is a Asian Mexican fusion. I really enjoyed everything that I had. I love the ambience inside. It's a very cool spot. Loved all the different pictures on the wall. And the service was really good. We asked the young lady about the different items before we ordered and she gave a really honest opinion. And I really appreciated that. I would definitely come back and try some more items when I'm back in town!

Malu G.

very GOOD sushi!! I'm obsessed with this place!! The vibes are fun and definitely try the lychee martini SO GOOD! I would just come here for the sushi, I'm Mexican and i've had better tacos... and tacos don't go on flour tortillas. Aside from that, I love it here and i'm obsessed.

Liz G.

I'll preface my review by saying I definitely would come back and try this again. Maybe I just didn't order the right things. I was super excited to try this spot because it's a mix of my favorite things - Mexican and sushi! The queso was very good but I didn't love the seasoning on the chips, it was a bit overpowering. The fried pickles were delish! I ordered a smoked chicken taco - there was a ton of slaw on it, like way too much, and the chicken flavor was good but SO rich that I couldn't finish it. I ordered a shrimp tempura roll and it was very good but was missing cucumber. My friend also got the same roll and hers had cucumber in it. A mistake for sure but I was disappointed. However the atmosphere and service of this spot is awesome! They were able to accommodate a large group of 12 and was fast and friendly. Like I mentioned before, I would definitely try this place again but would order different things.

Mia L.

This place was incredible from start to finish! Such a fun artistic atmosphere. Great service. The drinks were all creative and delicious- not overly sweet, just the way we like them. Every item we ordered off the menu was a home run- we will be going back to try more. We got a bunch of Mexican and sushi rolls for the table to share and were so glad we got to sample so many things. The sushi rolls were all very creative and delicious, out of the ordinary sushi rolls. The tacos were perfect and I have never eaten a better torta! Our kids enjoyed everything with us, including the mocktails. This place deserves a star! Can't wait to visit Charleston again to return here!

Emma P.

I think I need to give this place another shot. I was super unimpressed with the food but it has such great ratings. The meat in the tacos was super dry and bland. The bun bao were good and I'd definitely order them again. Dessert tasted like a grocery store frozen cake. I'll go back and update my review because again, everyone seems to love them place.

Went here for the yelp elite Halloween party and it did not disappoint. Tons of sushi and tacos to choose from. They had Halloween themed drinks and a DJ. Could not have asked for a better place to celebrate Halloween

Heather A.

We had such a great time at the Halloween party hosted at Mesu! I was always a little scriptural of the Japanese Mexican fusion concept but it honestly works so well. Everything I tried was so yummy and the staff was so kind and accommodating. Over all 10/10. I definitely intend on visited here for dinner another time.

Kathleen D.

I really enjoyed every bite of my dinner at MESU. It was my birthday weekend, and we opted to do a night on King Street. MESU had reservations left, so we booked it but ended up opting to sit at the bar instead...as close as possible to the front door since it was FRIGID inside. Like we would've stayed longer and bought more food if we weren't both shivering. My friend mentioned the special occasion, and they gave a blow job shot (lol) and had me bang the gong. Cute little touch. We split the dip trio and opted for the avocado salsa, which was delightful. I also had the clothespin pork taco, and goooodness. It was tasty! For drinks, I had a nice glass of Rose and my friend had a beer. Service was great, prices were reasonable, and really other than the temperature, we loved our visit.

Like the aesthetic of the place but felt like the food lacked flavor. When you fuse together Mexican and Asian food it should be nothing but flavor, but unfortunately it wasn't. My bf got the dynamite roll and the Baja fish taco, and although he liked the roll the fish on his taco didn't have a taste all you could taste was the pineapples. I had the nachos and the beef didn't have taste not even a little salt and pepper; the best thing on my nachos was the cheese and chips. The strawberry margarita was good, but we will not be coming back. read more

About half and half on "awesome" and "meh" for us tonight. The street corn was amazing. The clothespin taco was fantastic (hubby and I shared three tacos - the shrimp/chorizo and barbacoa were good but we wished we had ordered more of the pork). Ordered two sushi rolls - the daily special dragon roll (good but not memorable) and the lobster Rangoon roll which was awful. We couldn't choke that one down. Basically cream cheese rice mush. Churros were wonderful (though we didn't get the cool skull dish. Lol) Had we ordered just the corn, clothespin tacos and churros it would have been 4 stars. But it was literally the loudest place on earth so no five stars. We had to text each other to communicate. Edited down to a 2 after we both spent all night in the bathroom being ill. :-(. read more

Was in Charleston for a few days, and decided to get sushi. Mesu came up as #1 on Yelp. The food photos looked amazing and got great reviews so we decided to check it out. There was a photo of a poke bowl, but couldn't find it on the menu. We asked our waitress and she showed the saus chef. He came to us, and explained it was no longer on menu, but would make it for us. We started with the Mexican corn, and it was wonderful! He then brought us our sushi rolls and the poke bowl. I think it was the freshest and most flavorful dish we have ever had. I believe his name was Jelo. Mesu was by far the best food, friendliest staff, and all around greatest atmosphere. Thank you to the staff for a truly wonderful night. read more

Cool vibes, the inside is nice, the food was yummy, and the service was good. Does it match the price tho? Not really.... we loved the tacos but the queso was too runny, not worth $10 for watery cheese with no flavor. Then we had TWO pitchers which were $50 each, left there still sober (and it was only my bf and myself drinking...) So I would recommend the food but definitely don't recommend for drinking.

Eh. Not understanding the hype. Service was attentive and friendly, huge plus, prices reasonable compared to other places in the area. I thought atmosphere was too bright, bar stools uncomfortable. The kitchen/ bar staff were openly doing shots behind the bar, wish they kept the bottle out back. Menus were sticky and dirty, first impressions are just that. I'm from out of town, so maybe this is the norm down here, but why do servers not wear their long hair tied back? All it takes is one hair in a meal for me to never go back.... finally, last comment. It's not Mexican sushi, it's two menus, and they just don't mesh for me. I would give this place a 3 if I wasn't questioning cleanliness... read more

These are 2 totally different places. So I will echo everyone else with the complaints about the service and how you're treated when trying to get take out or dine in. The only good news is the lady/hostess with the glasses is equally rude and snarky with everyone so at least you can rest easy knowing it's not just you or personal lol. All jokes aside, she really needs someone to teach her basic customer service skills and how to speak to people. She is very aggressive and comes off very rude and flat out mean. To her she may not think that and I am giving her the benefit of the doubt here because she really does lay it on really thick. It's sad too because the sushi, Hibachi, and food here is actually good hence the 3 stars. We dined in and the place was decently clean and looked okay but it was dead and empty and I can only assume it's from all of the negative reviews about the customer service. I honestly don't foresee this place lasting too much longer if she doesn't either get help or get better training on how to speak and interact with customers and I am just talking about the mere basics here of customer service nothing else.

I appreciated how they filled their spicy tuna rolls with chunky pieces of fish instead of the usual ground tuna used in other sushi restaurants. Their offerings and methods of preparation, paired with their higher price point, suggests they are a higher end establishment. However, the atmosphere was undoubtedly on the casual side, and their service, although friendly and knowledgeable, exuded a lack of experience and the same attention to detail that they put into their food. This was especially apparent after coming from eating at other restaurants in a similar price bracket, where you can sense the waitstaff had a lot of pride and passion for their craft, and it didn't feel like it was just a job for them. In contrast, our experience at Shiki felt far more transactional, and lacked that "customer obsession" and genuine warmth. That said, it's difficult to judge a restaurant's culture just from a single night, and maybe other customers had a different experience from us. Ultimately, if good sushi is your priority and you are willing to splurge a bit, Shiki meets and even exceeds that bar.

Living in Charleston, you'd think there would be a sushi spot on every corner with phenomenal…read morefresh-fish options. They exist, but some of the best are so unassuming you can walk right past them. Shiki is exactly that kind of place--a small, warm, inviting restaurant tucked into a strip mall that feels like a neighborhood secret. Loc, our waiter, greeted us as soon as we sat down with water, a friendly welcome, and a helpful walk-through of the menu. We started with wine and sake--always a promising beginning. The first course was seaweed salad with baby octopus, and I could have happily sipped that dressing like a cocktail. Light, bright, perfectly balanced, with tender octopus that added just the right bite. From there we decided to sample our way through the menu and ordered a lineup of rolls: Spicy Yellowtail, Spicy Shiromi, Rainbow, Spider, Lemon Salmon, and Eel. Each one seemed better than the last. The Spicy Shiromi was the clear standout--absolutely spectacular. What really sets Shiki apart is that every roll has its own distinct flavor instead of the one-note sameness you find at so many sushi spots. You can tell real care goes into the preparation. If you're searching for fresh, thoughtful, genuinely delicious sushi, don't overlook this little gem. Shiki is the real deal.

Because of this, we had to leave and take our business elsewhere, which was disappointing given how welcoming the atmosphere appeared. We ended up returning another day when it was just my husband and me because the Christmas décor was so beautiful we couldn't resist giving it another try. While the space itself was lovely, we weren't impressed with the drink options. I ordered an espresso martini and asked the bartender if it could be made with something other than Bailey's. He simply said no, without offering any alternatives or suggestions. It would have been nice to feel a bit more accommodated-Kahlúa, whiskey, or another option could have easily been suggested. In the end, I ordered the espresso martini anyway, only to see it poured from a box, which was another letdown. Overall, the ambiance and décor were great, but the service and cocktail experience fell short of expectations.

I had a really disappointing experience at Misu in Charleston. They were actively advertising a $10 Tuesday menu online and even had signage for it posted in the bathroom, which I'll be including in my review photos. We made our reservation for 6:00 p.m., well within the advertised promotion timeframe that was supposed to last until 7:00 p.m. From the beginning, there was confusion and inconsistency from our server. When we first asked about the $10 Tuesday menu, she claimed she didn't know what we were talking about. As the meal went on, her answers kept changing--first it wasn't a real promotion, then much later (after we were already more than halfway through our meal), she suddenly mentioned that a $10 shrimp tempura roll was available. The information kept shifting depending on when we asked, which felt incredibly frustrating and disorganized. At one point, she even brushed off the confusion by saying she was "having a blonde moment," which felt unprofessional given the circumstances. Despite us asking about the promotion throughout the meal, there seemed to be constant delays in getting a clear answer from management. Then, at 7:01 p.m., after we had spent the entire hour trying to clarify the deal, the server suddenly pointed out that the promotional timeframe had passed anyway. This felt especially frustrating considering we had arrived on time and had been actively trying to resolve the issue the whole time. When the manager finally got involved, he stated they were "not doing that" promotion, despite the clear false advertising online and within the restaurant itself. He claimed he had no control over the website and only said he would address the bathroom signage. At no point did he genuinely acknowledge the misleading advertising or take accountability for how deceptive this was for customers. To make matters worse, there was an automatic 25% service charge added, which also felt excessive and poorly communicated. They eventually sent out some old, cold churros with hardened chocolate sauce, which felt more like an afterthought than a meaningful resolution and only added to the disappointment. Overall, this experience felt misleading, poorly managed, and frustrating from start to finish. Between the false advertising, inconsistent communication, lack of accountability, automatic fees, and underwhelming food and service, I would not recommend Misu. However, the sushi nachos and red Dragon roll were very solid. read more

I'm truly disappointed to report that our celebratory dinner at Mesu, intended as a special occasion for my wife's birthday, was tarnished by the surprisingly inhospitable conduct from the management. Despite spending over $500 on what was undeniably delicious food--encompassing appetizers, a variety of dishes, drinks, and desserts--the evening was overshadowed by an unexpected and rather rude interaction as we finished our dessert. Without any prior indication on our reservation, the manager approached us, informing us that our table was reserved for only one hour and fifteen minutes, a policy that was neither mentioned at the time of booking nor at any point during our meal. He bluntly told us we had overstayed, with people waiting for our table. This abrupt announcement was both shocking and demeaning, especially considering the nature of our visit and the considerable amount we had spent. When I confronted him to express our displeasure, noting the absence of any such time restrictions stated during the booking process and the absurdity of enforcing such a limit on a $500 meal, his response was dismissively matter-of-fact. His lack of empathy and unwillingness to accommodate a peaceful resolution to the situation only further dampened what should have been a joyous celebration. His parting words, upon hearing we wouldn't be returning, were a nonchalant "that's fine." It was clear that customer satisfaction was not on the agenda at [Restaurant Name]. It's regrettable that the manager's behavior starkly contrasted with the quality of the food and the otherwise pleasant ambiance of the establishment. For those looking for a restaurant where the experience matches the quality of the menu and where guests are treated with the respect they deserve, especially when celebrating a special occasion, I suggest looking elsewhere. We certainly expected more from Mesu. read more

This place is amazing!!!! My BF and I travel to a new state each month and for the month of October we're in Charleston. We asked some local friends for recommendations and this was one we chose for his 30th birthday. We've been to a lot of recommended restaurants during our travels but this place stands out! My BF likes Sake / sushi / seafood and I love margs / tacos / Mexican so it was the perfect mix. He got sushi and I got tacos and they were both sooooo good! (He's picky with sushi and loved it!) Our waitress Natalia was amazing. She was so sweet and recommended sake to his preferred taste! She went out of her way to bring over a shot and dessert for his birthday and had him ring the gong ( a lot louder than we thought lol) Overall, 10/10 highly recommed! And ask for Natalia if you can. :) read more

Disappointed with our experience at Mesu. We went for the Restaurant Week deal with a party of six, and the lack of communication about their policies was frustrating. When making the reservation over the phone, no one mentioned the one-check policy or the auto-gratuity of 25%. Even when we were seated, there was no heads-up. This led to an unexpected increase in our bill by nearly $200. To make matters worse, the food was underwhelming--just mid-tier at best and not worth the price tag. Transparency is crucial when it comes to such policies, and I feel like it's the norm to be made aware ahead of time rather than surprised at the end. Definitely not the experience we were hoping for, and will not be returning. read more

Only had 2 nights in Charleston SC and the family had such a great time the previous evening, it was decided to go back here and sit at the bar again. Luck for us a group of 4 had just left. We sat down in just about the same spot as the previous day. We had Mike serving us at the bar and couldn't have been any nicer. Two of us ordered the same sushi again, 1 changed it up slightly and my wife who doesn't really care for Sushi, ordered the Tsunami Roll that she had a slice of mine the previous evening. She said it was just delicious, and may have converted her to Sushi in the future. Thanks for the great time Mike, we couldn't have make a better choice to eat. The staff here ROCKS!! read more

We are staying at the Hyatt Place around the corner from Mesu. We tried the Lobster Rangoon Roll which was probably one of the best rolls I've ever had. Bartender was very helpful in menu selection and really knowledgeable. He also recommended the clothes pin taco and the fish tacos which we tried as well. 2 days later we went back and had Mike and Nathan as our bartenders. Mike also gave the same recommendations and suggested the Shrimp and Chorizo taco which was delicious. He also had a ton of knowledge about tequilas. Also, the street corn was excellent!
