Let me start by saying--I'm not someone who looks to tear a business down. You can check my past…read morereviews and see that. But this was hands down the worst sushi I've ever had... and I'm not even sure it qualifies as sushi. I started with the gyoza (dumplings), and honestly--they were excellent. Easily top 3 I've ever had. That got me excited for the sushi. Then the rolls came out. They were massive, piping hot, drenched in a brown sauce, and topped with what they called "spicy crab." First bite? Complete shock. It was still hot and had this strange, almost chemical oil taste. I didn't spit it out out of respect for the people sitting nearby, but it was bad. I tried a second roll thinking maybe it was just that one--but nope, same exact taste. This time I had to grab a napkin and spit it out. At that point, I asked for a drink refill just to get the taste out of my mouth and debated saying something--but honestly, I didn't feel like dealing with the back-and-forth of explaining that the food was basically inedible. I asked for the check and left after only one bite of each roll. For reference, the rolls were the "Caroline" and the one right above it on the menu. I'd strongly recommend staying away from their sushi--period. Ended up going next door to Cracker Barrel just to salvage the night.

Worth a…read moresmall detour off highway 501 or 76 if you are on the way to the beach and looking to grab a bite. Not going to lie this hole in the wall restaurant looks unassuming from the outside but hey you can never judge a book by its cover. The hibachi grill leaves such a satisfying char to the meat that each bite is a flavor explosion once you add in the mayo sauce and the sweet garlic sauce. The rice is there to soak it all up at the end. I personally enjoy the chicken and shrimp the most. MW also offers sushi. I wasn't able to try it out but managed to grab a photo. Note - my parents used to own this restaurant so I grew up eating this food almost daily. When I visited I was hopeful that the recipes and technique would be maintained by the new owners who took over a few years ago. They did not disappoint. Everything was just as I remembered when I left it almost 10 years ago.
