    Yummy food!
    Lorren P.

    The food and the selection here were great. I loved being able to try so many different foods! Everything we tried was fantastic! My youngest even tried sushi for the first time. When we arrived the service was a bit to be desired; we were told to sit at a certain table and the server went to wipe it down. She was so busy talking that we had completed a first round of gathering our food and our table still wasn't done. We then had to wait while she wiped off the table and gathered our drinks. The bathroom was a bit messy with paper towels and toilet paper everywhere. The sinks and toilets were clean (which was the only reason I used the restroom at all). I will definitely be going back and trying this restaurant again.

    Seafood

    After our last visit here several months ago, we tried several other buffets recommended by others--this is still the best around. We arrived about 1:00PM. The food was fresh and the variety was unlimited. I started with Sushi and seafood. The Sushi was fresh and as good as most Sushi bars in Columbia including the Sashimi. I ate 4-5 different types of Shrimp, clams, fried crab, octopus and squid. They have a fried food section, Mexican food, salad and desert bar. I always say I will save room for Hibachi, but I was too full. The service was prompt and attentive. Even though it is a buffet, the size of the rooms and the layout of the buffet prevented crowding. This is our favorite and we'll return frequently.

    A little sushi, steamed clams, calamari, and a chicken wings = tasty stuff.

    this place is a ripoff, 44.00 for 2 people and then they expect a tip. I will never go back to that place again.

    I consider myself to have a iron stomach. To handle all kinds of food but yesterday, my stomach was put to the test and failed!

    It is still the best sushi bar in the Southeast. They have the largest variety of fresh fish and…read moreother seafood, but they also make traditional chicken and steaks. 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.

But immediately the service that the waitress informed us that they do not serve on Sundays, which must be new to us because we have always been here on Sundays and been able to do cocktails not only that the food was not the best not as fresh at all. Also, the waitress seemed to be very forgetful, even though we were literally one of four tables, it was 3 PM totally not busy at all. She must be too busy with her personal life or on her phone in the back room to attend and do her job properly. I rarely leave reviews like this, but I will never be coming here again. The owner or manager should really be more present and attentive as to how the servers speak to and communicate to PAYING customers. PAYING customers are literally how we fund your business! Don't forget that. RAY was our servers name. She was sweet enough but absolutely should NOT be a waitress or server anywhere. She really needs to look for a job that she's more qualified for. I was a server and bartender for over 10 years. It is really not that hard to get things right especially when you have four tables to attend to and that's it. This is the last straw. I told everyone in the restaurant never come back here sorry that I made a scene, but I highly recommend going to konnichiwa up the street. I promise you if this place does not reply or change it's ways I will recommend every single person coming in this is to rethink and drive half a mile to konnichiwa which is far better fresher and not frozen or rotted tasting food.
