    It's in the mall, it's fast, and it's cheap. Sarku is the cornerstone of any decent mall. The have the huge flat top grill to cook the heaps of veggies and chicken. And their teriyaki sauce is the best! Not too sweet or too thick. Sure, the raw chicken looks gross as they slap it on the grill, but once it's cooked, it is some of the best chicken around. They also offer teriyaki beef and/or shrimp and you can choose from lo mein noodles, fried rice, and white rice. The egg rolls are average and they offer (with the chicken only 1.69, beef for 2.99 and shrimp 2.09) a double meat option for less than a couple dollars extra. It definitely beats the other offerings in the mall unless you have time for a sit down meal at Sesame or the new Tattooed Moose.

    Chicken was solid but they gave a much smaller portion than seen in other reviews. Maybe I came at a bad time?

    We got the Fantastic Roll, the Amazing Roll (if I remember correctly) and some tuna and smoked…read moresalmon nigiri. Everything was super fresh and delicious! The service was also on point. Will definitely be coming back!

    I dropped by just because of the name since I just came back from Japan and learned what Maguro…read more(tuna) meant. The bar is hidden away in a parking lot where it is difficult to turn into from the other side of the road because of a barrier so you have to make a u turn up the road a little bit. The place itself is kind of small. I sat at the bar but I'm not sure why but it felt a little off. It didn't feel like a normal sushi bar where I felt like I was able to see the chef prepare the food I'm not sure if there was some kind of height disproportion or if the glass with food was blocking the way. The staff was friendly but there did seem to be some kind of miscommunication between the server and the chef when they were doing hand offs on top of the bar. It might be better to do food handoffs at the open corner to the side so the waitress didnt have to reach high and over customers although maybe it is different when it is busy since I was the only one at the bar. The food itself was delicious although I must admit I can't tell the difference between normal sushi. I would rate this as normal sushi. To put things in perspective bad sushi would have dried out rice or fish that tastes a bit off in a bad way. Amazing sushi would be something that just tastes so different but in a good way. Could be a cute casual date spot or even a friend group meet up spot. Keep in mind the space is limited but it shares the menu and space with Taste of Thai next door. I havent been into Taste of Thai yet so I can't talk about the spacing in there.

    Zen Asian Fusion delivered an incredible sushi experience and made my birthday celebration feel…read moregenuinely special. We sat at the sushi bar, which I highly recommend, and from the moment we sat down it was clear we were in good hands. We were surprised right away with a complimentary amuse‑bouche--crab stick rolled with salmon--which was a thoughtful and delicious touch. To start, I ordered the seaweed salad while Justin went with the ginger salad; both were fresh, balanced, and a perfect lead‑in to the sushi. For the main event, I ordered a spicy tuna roll and eel nigiri, and this is where Zen really shined. The spicy tuna roll was exactly what sushi lovers hope for--very light on rice and heavy on fish, something that's surprisingly hard to find around Charleston. The eel nigiri was rich, perfectly cooked, and full of flavor. Justin ordered several pieces of sashimi and was equally impressed. We asked about albacore tuna (unfortunately unavailable), but were told the salmon was excellent--and moments later, we were unexpectedly served two additional pieces of sushi each. Completely unexpected and incredibly appreciated, especially for a birthday celebration. Between the quality of the fish, attention to detail, and warm hospitality, Zen Asian Fusion absolutely won us over. We've officially found our new sushi spot and can't wait to come back.

    I tried Zen and was pretty impressed at the quality of the sushi and the kitchen items…read more The calamari was good. I love big pieces of squid. Squid is actually my favorite nigiri. You definitely might need to cut it down or maybe half it for a bite but I still loved it. They brought it with a fork and knife, so it's kind of expected. I also ordered the Sambal or yellow curry with chicken. It was pretty good too. It came with a house salad. The dressing on the salad was delicious. The samba curry was really good too. I liked that everything came out hot. I also ordered the SC rainbow. It was good too. I pretty much liked everything I ordered. Id probably order all of those again. Service and ambiance was good. It seemed busier than I expected.
