I read a lot about this restaurant before going and was really excited. The menu is HUGE, I took pictures but im sure i am missing at least 10 pages. The place is cute. Staff was really nice and attentive. The issue was their special sushi was just not working for me! I took pictures but no way that fits in your mouth even for a half bite. It was also strangely filled. I am just kot a fan. I think with their 20 page menu they try to do too much. read more

This place is so good if you like a fusion style - it's great sushi, burgers, and interesting combos of both. I had the sushi burger which is basically fried rice patties as the bun and spicy tuna in the middle. So good and unique! The sweet potato fries were also awesome. Small, very casual vibe and fills up quickly with limited space. Looking forward to trying the new downtown Greenville location because it apparently Has different menu and also Korean bbq! Nice addition to the GVL food scene. read more

Phenomenal fusion of sushi and other Asian cuisine. A great place for high quality sushi, great drink selection and creative desserts all served with beautiful presentation. The ambiance is a creative casual mélange of Asian and American influence, creating a unique experience in Greenville. Favorites include the Gold Rush and the Chef sushi for 1. read more

It doesn't look like much from the outside, but inside they are creating UNIQUE items for people seeking exciting cuisine. I am blown away by some the ideas being thrown around on this menu. I have never seen a coconut sushi roll before, but it was genuinely the best roll I have had in a long time. The Bulgogi Sushi burger was good, a little more greasy than I'd like, but the beef and kimchi together created a phenomenal flavor. I wish I could have tried more of these unique items, especially the BOOZY BOBA! Aside from the food, the restaurant was extremely well taken care of and they even decorated it with some nice Halloween decor for the season. The service was also great, granted I was by myself. My server was extremely attentive and made sure I had everything I needed at all times. Considering it is tucked away in a shopping center, this is definitely one of those over looked GEMS. read more

In the area for work and had a taste for Sushi! My hair stylist told me about this spot so today was a great day to try it out. Since it was later in the evening, I ordered online for pickup. My order was ready within minutes of my arrival. I was greeted and helped almost immediately. I ordered the Hollywood Roll and crab Rangoons. Both were good. The Rangoons barely had crab meat in them. I tasted mostly cream cheese. I'll try a different appetizer next time. It seemed nice inside with a outdoor seating area. I'll definitely return. I saw other menu items I'd like to try. read more

Really neat twist on a sushi bar. Creative and trendy yet family friendly. This place was super crowded and a tight fit, plan ahead if your dining in and give yourself 30 minutes to wait for a seat. They could really use another 500 square feet at a minimum. Barely enough room to squeeze by to sit. We were a party of 4 and another party of 2 were added to our to our table (we offered) because it was so crowded they were blocking the exit. I will definitely go back if I'm ever in the area again though, so many items on the menu that I still want to try. Sushi burgers! Sashimi, sake, salads, just to name a few. Really friendly staff & the service was way better than you'd expect for such a crowded place. Our server was great. This place was also preparing takeout. They are really efficient, a small business could learn a lot from them about their efficiency. read more

Update 9/4/21 - came here for an early dinner and as usual was not disappointed!!! The burger and rolls were great and it was some of the best kimchi I've ever had. Side note: my father was in Korea from 1951 to 1953 and became friends with some locals who taught him how to make kimchi. This was some of the best I've had since my fathers recipe. We'll definitely visit here again! read more

Ramen had good flavor, sushi burger was good as well, Fries were perfection. Roll was tiny and definitely underwhelming. Overall, this is a great spot and blows the GVL location out of the water in terms of food and service. read more

Chef 21 is a cute little restaurant in Simpsonville. It t is the former home of The Mad Cuban. I have been there a few times and always enjoyed it. My favorite item to order is the AvocadoGrenade. It is very good. It is a fried avocado with a big scoop of spicy crab and Daikon (shredded radishes) with eel sauce. I have also ordered several sushi rolls and they all tasted great. My husband usually orders the Mango Salmon. It was also delicious. It comes with a side of fried rice and a small salad. Their servers are always friendly. read more

If I could rate this place a zero I would!! I ordered the bulgogi bowl, a valentine roll, and a kids tonkatzu ramen(for my son). After waiting around an hour to be seated we ordered our meals with our drinks.. we waited for about another 35 minutes for our food when at this point the restaurant was relatively empty!! After waiting for food for about an hour and a half at this point (including the wait time) Kids ramen was lukewarm, and tasted as though it had been sitting out for hours, bulgogi bowl was extremely disappointing.. the sweetest bulgogi meat I've ever had and I've tried a large variety, sushi was definitely frozen or stored in a fridge for a day or two as well!! Tasted more like a dessert than a savory dinner. After informing the waitress Amanda about our experience she gave us an extremely condescending response..With that being said i never once was informing her of our negative experience with the hopes of getting the food taken off of our bill, we were just trying to offer some helpful notes of how it could improve. We also could hear everything that was going on in the kitchen and our server Amanda was yelling and cussing at ANOTHER SERVER in the kitchen.. but my 8 year old son and I could very much hear clearly what was being said. Hearing what was said definitely affected her tip and honestly continued to ruin our experience. If you're wanting fresh tasteful food, with a positive and comfortable environment this is not the place!! read more

I love sushi and this place does not disappoint at all. Beyond happy this place exist

This place has some really unique food items. For an appetizer, we got the crispy rice spicy tuna - which was a pile of spicy tuna on top of some very crispy fried rice. Never had anything like it and it was really good! Amy tried the shrimp madness burger - which she really enjoyed. I was tempted by a number of the menu items - like the soft-shell crab sandwich - but was in the mood for sushi, so the sushi for one is what I ordered. My dinner came with a California roll, which was okay. It really didn't stand out that much and I was expecting a bit more after the uniqueness of the other items. The sushi itself though was probably some of the best I've ever had. It was super fresh and served at the perfect temperature - not ice cold like at some sushi places. They don't have a huge selection of fish, but what they have is absolutely the best. One thing this place really cries out for is a full bar. They serve wine, sake and beer, but being able to order a cocktail would put them over the top! read more

Delicious! I tried the signature Sushi Burger. It was hard to imagine how good it was, considering it is not your typical burger. The rice patty buns were yummy, and I loved the crab salad. The sweet potato fries were also delicious! There was enough food to share, and I will definitely be back to try more! read more

Wonderful surprise. My grandson and fiancé' had the sushi platter-wonderful. My husband and I had the shrimp burger which is a regular burger with shrimp inside the meat-fabulous! Service was good and very friendly. From the outside it didn't seem like much but, when we got inside it is lovely! We will definitely go back! Ambiance is great! read more

I stumbled on this place after a morning shopping at Belks and Home Depot. Basically I was trying to avoid deep fried meat and thought I'd grab lunch. Sushi Burger seemed like a weird name. But I went for it...And OMG! The Shrimptastic burger changed my life! I skipped the bun and got the lettuce wrap--my taste buds are STILL vibrating. Also, there's a great value lunch special, too--two rolls and a salad that you can add shrimp or sashimi to... But get the shrimp burger--you will not be sorry! read more

It is really good for our area. I like it enough to order it. It's not my favorite but it's good. There are sushi places better but it is across the steeret from uour hous. If your in Simpsonville try it. I suggest one of their "burgers". read more

Have been here 3 times and food is consistency great! Ive also had the same waitress all 3 times and shes absolutely amazing. Prices are good and theres plenty of parking.

Have enjoyed my food everytime. Service is good little small, but not crowded. Good burgers.

Great food and service. Been going for over 2 years and it is consistent! Recommend it.

Great service but overpriced for the quality. The ponzu tataki tuna was SO SPICY. My husband loves spice and he couldn't eat it. The tuna was good without it, so get the sauce on the side. The lunch special was ok. The crab salad was also VERY SPICY. I couldn't eat it. I don't mind spice and love wasabi but this was torturous. Alcohol license pending. It's a good concept, but more expensive than some really good sushi places nearby with a wider selection. Cramped seating. read more

Nice decor inside, considering it's in a strip mall and outside is unassuming. I ordered the Tuna Lover roll. #1 complaint: the shrimp was NOT DEVEINED. #2 the amount of shrimp was tiny, with excessive breading/filler. Overall underwhelming experience- I expected more considering previous reviews. read more

As soon as we walked in, I was impressed with the cleanliness and aesthetic of this spot! It seems like a hole in the wall when you pull but the inside is adorable. There were so many amazing options (and variety) on the menu that we already decided what we would be trying next time too, but this time we went with the three musketeers roll, Philly roll, tuna lover roll and chef 21 sushi burger. My favorite things we had were the three musketeers roll and the burger! (Warning: burger is extremely filling!!!) Everything tasted extremely fresh and prices are fair. Service was a little slow but they were very busy. I can't wait to go back and try new menu items! read more

amazing food, sweet staff, and great ambiance. most of their sushi rolls have crab salad, which tends to make me sick, so i special requested a shrimp tempura roll with cream cheese and eel sauce and it was probably the best sushi roll i have ever had. also ordered edamame as an appetizer and it was perfectly prepared. read more
