    I was in town in September and I was in the area and I was pleasantly surprised to find out that Mon Cafe was still open. The reason I say this is because I used to eat at Mon Cafe all the time as a high school student almost 20 years ago so it's also nostalgic to know that the restaurant is still here and the quality and prices are still as great. I got my typical order that I used to order even when I was in high school lol. You know sometimes when you attend or when you visit certain restaurants that you haven't been to in a long time it's either really bad or really good or just the same in this case it was really good. The service was still great the food was quick as usual and the restaurant itself overall was very clean...Look with Mon Cafe there's not much to say about it other than it's 100% worth it. You will get your bang for your buck, what's to lose?

    Teriyaki Chicken bowl

    We stop in here every time we are nearby. Always good !! The staff is nice, the restaurant is super clean including the restrooms. They literally spray off every table and the chairs between patrons. We got teriyaki bowls and steak bowls. Both delicious and the serving size is perfect. I get the Junior bowl and it's plenty. They have authentic white sauce and their meats and veggies are very fresh. They have went up on their prices a bit. Inflation I guess ? They do offer a rewards program, $10 off every $50 you spent. So that makes it reasonable. Will definitely be back.

    The restaurant is nice and the food is essentially typical hibachi food without the show. The sushi roll that I ordered was good but not great. The side order of tempura shrimp and vegetables was also good but not great. The sauces were the absolute star of the show as the miso barbecue sauce would taste great on just about anything. The service was mediocre and the prices were outrageously high for the quality of the food.

    Steak & Chicken with Broccoli

    I love quick hibachi places and this is one of the best I've had. All your typical options are available with some sushi rolls as well. Stopped in tonight and I ordered the chicken and shrimp meal. Each plate comes with a heaping helping of rice, zucchini, and onions. My friend ordered the steak and chicken but asked to add broccoli as well. Then we added a spicy crab roll to split. The quality of the steak, shrimp, and chicken was all top notch. I usually wouldn't go for the steak option at the quick hibachi places just because I'm pretty picky about steak. I tried my friends and would recommend it all day. They spruced up the decor a bit so it feels a little nicer which is a welcomed touch. The service was excellent and you could tell that they truly wanted to make sure you had a good experience. I will be back for sure.

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.

Highlights were the honey chicken, coconut shrimp, butter shrimp, pork dumplings, bbq ribs, and believe it or not, the dessert!

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.

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!

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!

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!
