We found this place on a whim while on vacation- glad we did. Everyone loved the food. Service was a little spotty as our server had double duty also working the bar it seemed but he did try his best which was appreciated. Especially since the gratuity is automatic. All the food was fresh and tasted great. Portion on rolls was a little on smaller side but we had enough food for 6 adults. The plates were well portioned as there were leftovers. Everything came out at the right temperature, timely and had great flavor profiles. Would def recommend.

During a September 2024 vacation with a group, we went to Broadway on the Beach a couple of times. One of the nights the organizer of the trip wanted to go to a Hibachi place. My girlfriend & I didn't care that much about getting hibachi, and it's pretty expensive as hibachi tends to be. We ended up splitting a good amount of sushi rolls. It was a 3-roll combination, which came with soup & salad. I ate the salad & most of the soup, my g/f tried a couple of bites. We also added calamari, which my g/f ate more of, but she shared some. Everything was delicious. And we still got to see the hibachi show that the cook made, which was entertaining. Most of the group got the hibachi, but we weren't the only ones to not do the hibachi. Our sushi & food in general was solid. We also split a wine, which was good too. Staff was pretty nice, but a couple of things ran a bit slow, but overall it was pretty good service. At the end, we asked if they charge a credit card fee (as a lot of restaurants in Myrtle Beach did), and I had large wads of cash prepared to pay cash everywhere, and I was pleasantly surprised when they said no; so I paid credit here.

Last year, my family and I went to Yamato, and our entire party wasn't there yet. The restaurant…read morehad a policy that they wouldn't seat incomplete parties, and I completely understood and respected that. That was never the issue. The problem was the way the hostess treated me. She was rude, argumentative, and made me feel personally attacked. Because of the way she spoke to me, I asked to speak with the manager. She told me to "hold on one second" and went to get him. When he came over, I calmly explained what had happened. I wasn't asking to be seated anymore. I simply wanted him to know how I had been treated. I never cursed, yelled, or became abusive. We left peacefully. A few months later, we decided to give Yamato another chance and ate there in May without any issues. Today, we returned for my son's birthday. We had made our reservation two weeks in advance, and I even called earlier today to add one more person to our party. When we arrived, it was the same hostess. She recognized me, told me to wait, and went to get the manager. He then told us we had to leave "for security reasons" because of how I had supposedly treated the hostess last year. I was stunned. Last year, I simply reported what I believed was rude and unprofessional treatment. We had already dined there since then without any problems, so I don't understand why this suddenly became an issue today. Being asked to leave in front of my family on my son's birthday was embarrassing and upsetting. This is now the second negative experience I've had involving the same hostess and management. Based on my experience, I won't be returning, and I hope management takes customer service concerns more seriously in the future.

We went for the buffet, so if you're not a buffet person skip this review…read more Very good food for a buffet, with a great selection and friendly service. Highlights were the honey chicken, coconut shrimp, butter shrimp, pork dumplings, bbq ribs, and believe it or not, the dessert! Really good ice cream (chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, and maybe cookies and cream), banana pudding, chocolate pudding, cookies, sweet bananas... yum! We were there around 2pm so no crab legs, but it was still an excellent value. I would recommend skipping the Mongolian-style grill. The sushi was decent but I wouldn't go to this buffet if that's your focus - there are maybe 8 kinds. I enjoyed the salmon wrapped crab roll though. Not a date place, but I think the word buffet pretty much sums that up. However, it was clean and comfortable.

To start, didn't acknowledge my presence for several minutes once I was at the counter. There was no one else in the building a woman taking orders and a man cooking. No personality whatsoever! If that was the only problem - I could live with that. It was 9 o'clock and they close at 10 so I understand BUT - THE FOOD WAS DISGUSTING!!! I got the steak and chicken entree. Steak (dog?) was not edible full of grizzle and dry. Chicken (cat?) was also horrible - dry chewy. How hard is it to get the rice right? ABSOLUTELY GROSS! LOOK AT THE COLOR EVEN! Paid $17 and change left the change from a $20 as a tip for doing NOTHING! WORST $20 EVER SPENT ON FOOD!

The sushi here as ALWAYS been the best but something has changed. Seafood dynimate is not prepared the same as it was nor the common sushi rolls. Very disappointed. The hibachi chef said he had been there a year but gave step by step instructions as he was cooking. About 3/4 of the way thru his presentation he cut his hand and kept cooking. Once again very disappointed with the service and food was just ok. Not to their typical standard and business is down also.

This is the finest I've ever had in the state of South Carolina! My cousin from Florida also loves to eat sushi. He said it was the best sushi he's ever had anywhere! We were in town one Saturday night in June for a concert and wanted to try the local sushi. I asked Reddit for some good options and Koi was the winner. The setting was dark and quiet, which we enjoyed. Our server was excellent and helped me get my sushi just the way I wanted it (minimal/light rice). It did not take long for our rolls to come. The presentation was beautiful and the taste was out-of-this-world. So fresh and delicious. I didn't even have to use wasabi, which I usually have to use to offset the fishiness of some rolls. I didn't have to use much soy sauce either. I ordered the Mount Fuji Roll, the Kung Fu Roll and a spicy tuna roll, while my cousin ordered a Geisha Roll and a spicy tuna. The food, the service and the ambiance all made for such a wonderful time, that I am torn between going back again or just remembering it for its perfection! Be sure to bring cash since they do charge a credit card fee. They also have clean bathrooms and ample parking. It was totally worth the two-hour drive. Sure wish they'd open a Koi down here!

You will see that everyone has several inches between their backs and the back of the seat. Perhaps some pillows would help solve this issue but the restaurant has none available. The sushi was hit and miss. We likes what was good but we found some of the tuna to be fishy. We left 25% of our food over because it was unpleasant. Service was great and the decor is beautiful. Unfortunately, we'll look elsewhere next time we crave sushi.
