    New take out number

    Foods good, small inside but still open floor plan, fresh food, quick service. They have specials too but I love the coconut shrimp and I've heard tons of good things about the pho and ramen

    It's always a treat to go for sushi and Fiji at Founders Square was definitely a good idea! The…read morerestaurant is small but nicely decorated with style. We were seated and had our drinks within a couple of minutes. The menu has a lot of choices, but we went with the long time favorite, spicy tuna roll and bento box lunches. The tuna roll was delicious and made fresh with quality ingredients.There is nothing worse than expecting fresh sushi and getting that slightly off tase. This was a good start to the bento boxes, which didn't disappoint. For starters we had the miso soup, which was better than many miso soups we've had in the past, it was very fresh and flavorful. The Mongolian beef and California roll were flavorful and the gyoza was crisp. Hubs liked the salmon and tuna roll that his bento box came with. They also offer a variety of sushi rolls, Asian grill entrees like NY steak and shrimp, or Nigiri/Sashimi which I always remind my husband not to order, since this never fills him up and he eats half of my dinner. His answer is he developed a taste when he was in Japan and it's now his favorite dish. In addition to all the tasty food, the restaurant has a relaxing atmosphere, the staff is friendly and helpful and this is a place that you look forward to visiting again.

When we ask questions about different items in the menu, our waitress was very knowledgeable about the items on the menu. We have a food allergy at the table, so we just wanted to make sure that whatever we ordered didn't coincide with that. If we ever go back to this area, we definitely want to go back to this place. All of the food was so good. It put us in a food coma, and we slept like babies the rest of the night.

We know this, and are therefore VERY careful about what we consume. We also tell our server up front as well. So, as soon as we sat down to eat, I began explaining to the server that we have some odd allergies. I cannot eat anything with turmeric, shellfish or tree nuts. My daughter has a tree nut allergy. Our server was very attentive and wrote down all my allergies to confirm with the chef. He came back and told me almost every dish has oyster sauce, so my only option was sweet and sour chicken and plain, steamed white rice. I understand that when going to an Asian restaurant that I often have few options. I'm not complaining about not having more than one option though I hope in the future they figure out how to make some dishes without oyster sauce. I'm also aware that many dishes have tree nuts, and so no complaints that I only had the one option. Our meals came out, and I began to eat my sweet and sour chicken. I noticed immediately that it was a weird texture. And then the flavor hit--it was shrimp. I began to spit it out of my mouth and immediately grabbed Benadryl. Thankfully up to this point with my allergies, I've not had to use an epi pen. The Benadryl has worked, BUT....if you have allergies, you know that each additional exposure adds to your body's histamine response. I always start with Benadryl and then have epi pens on hand as well. We brought the issue to the attention of the server. He was very apologetic and brought me a new plate of what I actually ordered. The server then didn't come back to our table until we were almost finished. There wasn't a manager or a chef that came to check on me. My father in law had to ask for the meal to be taken off the bill. Then they brought out two orders of donut holes as a consolation. As he set them down, he said, "These are not for either of you, they have nuts." So all of this to say that this restaurant is NOT allergy friendly. The ambiance was fine--clean and nice decor. There are a lot of people with allergies. If you are running a restaurant, expect to have questions about different food ingredients, and by all means, pay attention to what you're cooking and sending out to the dining room. I'm just thankful the Benadryl seems to have worked, but it could have ended very differently. We will not be back.

It is dimly lit with vibrant fluorescent accents that create a unique and stunning ambiance. The gorgeous floral installation in the center of the restaurant is a lovely focal point. Our server was incredibly bubbly and helpful, making the entire experience 5 stars. The prices were very reasonable, the portions were generous and the food was incredible. My one disappointment was the Bangkok Street Noodles with smoked brisket, rice noodles, egg, chili, and crunchy garlic. I expected them to have more spice, but they were much sweeter than spicy. The star of the meal was the Orange Chicken. I do not usually order orange chicken, but this version was outstanding! It was perfectly crispy without being too sweet, with fresh orange peel, sweet chili, and bok choy. The Veggie Fried Rice was another perfect dish. Loaded with button mushrooms, carrots, broccoli, red peppers and scallions, it was loaded with fresh vegetables and flavor. It is the kind of dish I could eat every day! Blackbird Modern Asian exceeded our expectations. Between the inviting atmosphere, exceptional service, generous portions, and delicious food, we only wish it was closer. Charleston needs a location!

Ordered Confucius Says and a Suit and Thai. Both were delicious. Nik enthusiastically recommended the Thai Beef Jerky and it was seriously the best bites of the night. Tender, succulent and such a great flavor topped with sesame seeds and fresh green onions. The chicken lettuce cups were generously filled and the contrast between the warm chicken and the crispy cold lettuce and veggies was wonderful. The egg rolls were not bad but just average although the dipping sauces were so good. The mustard could be a bit zippier but should appeal to most palates. We split the Bangkok Street Noodles and the mustard greens added and delightful texture to an otherwise soft dish. The food was excellent but it was the service that made it special. The General Manager stopped by to check that we liked everything. Nik was attentive but not intrusive and there were dedicated staff assigned to clear plates, always keeping the table clear, clean and fresh. Nik did a great job pacing the courses so we never felt rushed but never waited too long. Next time we will stick with the Thai Beef Jerky and try new things. Everything was wonderful and well worth the price.

The grouper "balls" were deep fried (not oily) and hot and crunchy with pineapple slaw, candied sesame pecans, steamed rice and creamy-mango sauce (can't wait to go back for lunch and order this dish again). My hubby ordered Nemo's Snapper Fish Tacos (2) priced at $18.95 and served with Caribbean rice, warm tortilla (Wheat or Corn) green cabbage, lime, queso fresco cheese, pickled onion condiments selection and creamy apple salad.

I ordered their so-called specialty: the Nemo's Ultimate Miso Sea Bass--advertised as a "legendary signature dish served with a citrus-ginger butter sauce and asparagus." It arrived at my table practically frozen. After sending it back, I ordered the ginger steamed snapper, which was completely flavorless and tasted like cardboard. The only saving grace of the entire night was the service and the wine (a Txomin from the Basque Country). Save your time and money. Do not eat here.

After we were done they brought the bill to our table, so it was a bit of a weird counter/table service model. We ordered a bunch of food but my favorites were the twice-cooked chicken and Mongolian beef. We also got shrimp with vegetables, crab Rangoon, sweet and sour shrimp, and Dan Dan noodles. The total before tip was about $90. The twice cooked chicken was a large portion that came with steamed white rice. The chicken was tender and plentiful, and I liked the veggies - zucchini, mushrooms, carrots, etc. It was pretty salty, but mixed with the rice it wasn't too bad. I was excited for the Dan Dan noodles as it's a favorite dish. This version was a little different than others I've had, but still good, and the leftovers were great. We had a bunch of food left over and it reheated well. I liked this spot and would go back again. The vibe inside is a little sparse but we sat outside. I'm sure they probably do a lot of takeout.
