    It's a lottery win of buffets - a carnivores dream. Every bite delicious. Well done Blossom!

    Good selection of your typical buffet foods. Dinner includes many seafood dishes that were well cooked. Our waitress was sweet and kept our drinks filled. Nothing to complain about, Blossom is one of the better buffets in the Columbia area. My favorite part is the soft serve machine ;)

    Much better than most, this buffet was super busy and despite that, they kept it well stocked and clean. It is a large restaurant and they have a big set of steam tables with a good variety of the usual Chinese-American options. I was able to make some good choices and that included some decent sushi. I did not spot any disposable gloves but I had brought my own and that meant I wasn't touching the tongs that everyone else was handling. My waitress cleared dirty plates and refilled my drink often enough. I had a good experience here. [Review 19352 overall - 926 in South Carolina - 322 of 2023.]

Well welll well ... yelp family this Alli-G Roll we better than expected lol ... fried to perfection. Also the gator wasn't over cooked ... you can tell the preparers take their time and every dish has a different touch of excellence. Now for the Snapper Bowl .... I highly recommend ... the food bowl was delivered and I could still se the steam which I loved ... all the veggies were fresh fresh you could taste it. The snapper was amazing also. This spot leaves the extra seasoning up to you ... BUT your table has a bottle of yum yum sauce and you don't have to keep asking. Most importantly they are not stingy on the portions. I had half of my sushi rolls left and half of my bowl. Kudos to the staff also with the recommendations and setting the expectation of the dishes. They also worked as a team ... one waiter didn't see our drinks on the table and immediately asked if we put our order in. This was def worth the 35 min drive from the other side of town be sure to check them out. And another round of applause for the staff. I'll be back SOON .

The owner / chef Ryo takes care in what he's making and shows great pride in his finished product and it tastes great too. He gets fish that other restaurants do not have access to or have chosen not to purchase. I have seen flying fish, jellyfish, fresh Cobia, fresh Spanish mackerel, live clams and scallops and other seafood that you cannot obtain anywhere else. If you are looking for the best sushi in the area, you don't need to go anywhere else. You can go anywhere and buy a California roll but that is really not what I would consider sushi that's like going to Ruth Chris steakhouse and ordering a hot hot dog.

    The fact that I'm the only Asian customer at this place says it all…read more I ordered Inakaya Fried Chicken, which is a split bone chicken wing per their menu. I was given chicken nuggets and told they don't have chicken wings... Glad I found their menu online to prove I wasn't crazy. Everything is either overcooked, dry, or super salty. No idea why this place was even packed. Sushi rice was dry. The chicken nugget thing mentioned above was overly dry and salty. Tonkotsu Ramen was overcooked. Either they chose the wrong type of noodle or let it sit forever before serving it. The two slices of meat that came with the ramen was maybe from pork chop meat? Usually it's made with cha shew meat or pork belly. Two super lean and dry slices of meat made the bowl look like a joke. The noodle was salty enough that I don't even want to try the broth. Edamame was okay. Other than the fact that they don't look appetizing, the shell was brownish and many bean pockets (if you know what I was trying to say) were empty, that's probably the best dish on the table. If you want sushi or ramen or anything that's on their menu, do yourself a favor and please try to find it somewhere else.

The spring rolls were crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and packed with large chunks of lobster -- not skimpy at all. The salmon roll was some of the freshest sushi I've had in a long time. For my entrée, I ordered the walnut shrimp. The shrimp were gigantic, perfectly cooked, and the sauce was so good I literally slapped the table. No shame. We will absolutely be back.

From the outside, it doesn't look like a whole lot, but the inside was quite meticulously kept and had plenty of space to eat in, though most of their fairly vigorous business was takeout. As Poke-type places go, this one offered a ton of options. Virtually any diet could be accommodated, vegan and gluten-free easily so but also whatever you'd want in terms of limiting carbs. They had a splendid selection of ingredients with multiple fruits, several ways to get your greens, but also some delicious crunchy things and spicy sauces. And it was a good sized bowl. It was one of the better such bowls I've had, and for the ingredient quality, the price was not bad. Having been impressed into ordering a tea, I did not like that as much. My lychee tea was not excessively sweet, but the fruitiness didn't quite make up for it. The popping boba didn't quite pop the way I'd hoped either. Maybe another drink would have been better but I preferred the food over the tea. Still given the range of options available, I really could not have expected much better of a meal than this.

We walk in and the hostess quickly tells us it's a 20-25 minute wait but there is no one in the restaurant ( 1-2 tables occupied) but she said we could order to go. My group of 4 adults and a 4 yr old decided to wait. After 10 minutes we were given a table. The restaurant ambience is very classy, trendy, and beautiful. Small bar at the front. Our server Michelle let us know the kitchen was closing soon and to place our order. We were prepared and placed the order immediately. For ~$98 we got two "pick two" hibachi plates, the sushi sampler (spicy tuna and California roll), garlic soy edamame, a cucumber roll, two drinks and waters. The hibachi comes with soup and salad. I gave the review a 3 star because the food was cold and the soup was cold. The kitchen made the wrong hibachi order for my husband but quickly refixed it with more cold food. My edamame was hot and tasty. Sushi came with no chopped sticks and no ramekins for the soy sauce. We were patient with this because it was late but be wary going an hour before closing. Our server's personality was the redeeming quality. She was very sweet and friendly. When we exited the restaurant we walked past five different employees and not a single one made eye contact or thanked us for our business. It almost seemed liked they were annoyed we stayed during posted business hours... Most people that came after us left. So warning again don't go late unless you can withstand this. Apologies for my pics- I forgot to take before we started dining.
