    Dragon Roll Fantastic Seaweed Roll Tuna Roll
    Tinea M.

    Food: We ordered the Shumai, the fantastic seaweed roll, the dragon roll, and the tuna roll. The Shumai was okay. The sushi was very fresh and came out very quickly. We were in a bit of a rush so we ordered within minutes of sitting down and had our appetizer within 10 minutes and our rolls within 20 minutes. Service: the server was great! She was super nice and brought our food to us promptly even tho we were sitting upstairs. Ambiance: This is a very cute dinner spot, it's has a modern Japandi interior decor mixture. If you sit upstairs and don't mind there will be hip hop and other types of music coming from the next door club "uptown social". My fiancé and I didn't mind at all! Great place to get good food and catch a quick vibe.

    Second time at Fuji before a night out in Downtown Charleston. The sushi was very fresh. I loved the unique textures of the Fantastic Seaweed Roll. Our dragon roll and tuna rolls were as expected with no complaints. The shumai unfortunately lacked a depth of flavor however they were steamed perfectly. Arriving at the tail end of the prime dinner window (8:30pm), our hostess got us to our seat quickly. Our waitress was friendly and had no hiccups with the order. The ambiance of Fuji is always nice and laid back. Low lighting with a nice fusion of a sushi kitchen and a puby/divey warmth sits swirly between the upscale elegance and history of downtown Charleston.

    We ordered the Sweet Boat (Sashimi) and 6 different rolls for a party of 6 and it was the perfect amount of food. The fish is very fresh and the rolls were on point. We also ordered the tempura appetizer and the tempura were fried super light and crispy. Service was great and the rolls were made fast.

    I came by for lunch and this is some of the best sushi I've had in Charleston. Freshly prepared and delicious! I got the lunch special which is an awesome deal -- you get to choose 2 or 3 rolls with choice of soup or salad. I got the spicy tuna and the yellowtail scallion rolls with a miso soup.

    Pretty good rolls and very decent prices. II had some pretty awful poke down the street, so I needed something to save the day and stumbled on this place. I did their three roll lunch special for 20 bucks, and it was worth the money. The spicy tuna roll wasn't spicy, but it was good. The Hamachi roll was tasty. The salmon roll was also good. No complaints, and the interior was cool. It was not the most spectacular service, but I didn't need anything fancy.

    Ginza was a 10/10! Would definitely recommend getting this starter. The Firecracker Roll and the Dragon Roll were also great.

    10/10 would definitely recommend this place for Togo sushi! Definitely call ahead when you order

    Cute spot with good sushi! They have an upstairs bar so good for families, friends, singles and anyone else. It's small so big parties may not work but worth a try!

    Fuji is located on the upper king area of downtown next to many of the restaurants and bar in the area, which makes the location unbeatable. We visited for my birthday dinner and sat down promptly without having to wait too long even-though we did not have a reservation. The menu has a large variety of options from sushi to, ramen and udon soups , to hibachi. The drink menu has a few interesting cocktails and I tried one of their mules which was pretty good and tasty. For the main meal I ordered the ramen and it was cooked perfectly with a rich, flavorful broth and perfectly cooked noodles. The service was also excellent - the staff were friendly and attentive, and for my birthday, they even brought out a complimentary dessert for me. There is a city parking garage across from the street at the hyatt which charges the same as the meters, so it is a no brainer to park there instead of having to find street parking. The prices are fair to high , and there are a few specials during happy hour, but nothing out of the ordinary. It is a great place to visit

Going that extra step certainly did not go unnoticed and something I value in a dining experience. First of all-- the matcha mocktail was a wonderful opener to our evening.

My partner said the mochi was the best he's ever had. We highly recommend this dining experience not only for the exceptional service but for the quality in every dish.

After looking at the menu we opted for the 6 course Omakase Menu ($150 per person) It was a phenomenal choice. Each dish better than the previous. Outstanding technique & presentation with the freshest of product. Omakase takes about 2 hrs which was perfect for us. The restaurant fills up pretty quickly and unless you want to sit at the bar (if available) book your reservation early. We parked in the visitors parking garage off of Ann St. it's very close by. Definitely check this gorgeous restaurant out.

    We enjoyed our meal at Shiki. The sushi was fresh, and their food and drink menu included a wide…read morerange of standard to premium selections, including fatty tuna, A5 wagyu, and Junmai Daiginjo. I appreciated how they filled their spicy tuna rolls with chunky pieces of fish instead of the usual ground tuna used in other sushi restaurants. Their offerings and methods of preparation, paired with their higher price point, suggests they are a higher end establishment. However, the atmosphere was undoubtedly on the casual side, and their service, although friendly and knowledgeable, exuded a lack of experience and the same attention to detail that they put into their food. This was especially apparent after coming from eating at other restaurants in a similar price bracket, where you can sense the waitstaff had a lot of pride and passion for their craft, and it didn't feel like it was just a job for them. In contrast, our experience at Shiki felt far more transactional, and lacked that "customer obsession" and genuine warmth. That said, it's difficult to judge a restaurant's culture just from a single night, and maybe other customers had a different experience from us. Ultimately, if good sushi is your priority and you are willing to splurge a bit, Shiki meets and even exceeds that bar.

    Living in Charleston, you'd think there would be a sushi spot on every corner with phenomenal…read morefresh-fish options. They exist, but some of the best are so unassuming you can walk right past them. Shiki is exactly that kind of place--a small, warm, inviting restaurant tucked into a strip mall that feels like a neighborhood secret. Loc, our waiter, greeted us as soon as we sat down with water, a friendly welcome, and a helpful walk-through of the menu. We started with wine and sake--always a promising beginning. The first course was seaweed salad with baby octopus, and I could have happily sipped that dressing like a cocktail. Light, bright, perfectly balanced, with tender octopus that added just the right bite. From there we decided to sample our way through the menu and ordered a lineup of rolls: Spicy Yellowtail, Spicy Shiromi, Rainbow, Spider, Lemon Salmon, and Eel. Each one seemed better than the last. The Spicy Shiromi was the clear standout--absolutely spectacular. What really sets Shiki apart is that every roll has its own distinct flavor instead of the one-note sameness you find at so many sushi spots. You can tell real care goes into the preparation. If you're searching for fresh, thoughtful, genuinely delicious sushi, don't overlook this little gem. Shiki is the real deal.

The bar is hidden away in a parking lot where it is difficult to turn into from the other side of the road because of a barrier so you have to make a u turn up the road a little bit. The place itself is kind of small. I sat at the bar but I'm not sure why but it felt a little off. It didn't feel like a normal sushi bar where I felt like I was able to see the chef prepare the food I'm not sure if there was some kind of height disproportion or if the glass with food was blocking the way. The staff was friendly but there did seem to be some kind of miscommunication between the server and the chef when they were doing hand offs on top of the bar. It might be better to do food handoffs at the open corner to the side so the waitress didnt have to reach high and over customers although maybe it is different when it is busy since I was the only one at the bar. The food itself was delicious although I must admit I can't tell the difference between normal sushi. I would rate this as normal sushi. To put things in perspective bad sushi would have dried out rice or fish that tastes a bit off in a bad way. Amazing sushi would be something that just tastes so different but in a good way. Could be a cute casual date spot or even a friend group meet up spot. Keep in mind the space is limited but it shares the menu and space with Taste of Thai next door. I havent been into Taste of Thai yet so I can't talk about the spacing in there.

    The Sushi was disappointing…read more At the last second the wife decided to go to Maguro Sushi Bar for her birthday instead of one downtown on East Bas she had been looking forward to, and I am sorry to say it was disappointing. The first thing of note are the prices which are very reasonable. In fact the nigiri was so low I had to confirm it was for 2 pieces and not just one The restaurant is smallish but comfortable. They also share a hallway with their sister restaurants a taste of Thai, and as i understand it, you can order from both restaurants, regardless of which one you are eating at Regarding the Sushi itself there was some good, but there was also some average, and some very bad. I will go from worst to best. We started buy getting two orders of Tobiko. They had an option of Red, Green and Black. We have never had Black Tobiko (infused with squid ink), so we ordered Green and Black. The waitress got it wrong and gave us Red instead of Block . We should have sent it back, but we do like the red so we kept it. BIG MISTAKE. Normally a red Tobiko has a slight smokey flavor, but this was so over the top I wasn't sure if it was unique flavor to this restaurant or bad fish eggs. The wife thought so little of it she spit it out. The Green wasn't bad, but we were already on a downhill slide Next was two Eel handrolls which we normally love. Mine was OK, but The wife's Eel looked, and she said tasted raw and so this was another dish she could not eat. Next on the not so great list was the Ginger. Something else we normally love, but this Ginger was an odd darker shade pink to Red and had an funny taste to it. The Rainbow Roll was not bad, but I personally never had it with Shrimp. I am assuming they use Shrimp to lower the cost, but my preference isn't to have Shrimp as one of my fishes on a Rainbow roll. The spider roll we order was decent, but could have used some Eel Sauce on it. We tried something new for us which was the Salmon Tempura Roll. This consisted of Salmon tempura, crab, cucumber, avocado, masago, teriyaki. Neither of us have had Salmon tempura so it was not only unique but very good. We both loved the light crunch of the tempura fired Salmon. It has been many years since we ordered salmon skin, so we got 2 hand rolls. This was the star of the night. The roll was loaded with wonderful crispy salmon skin with Masago, scallion, spicy mayo. The wife usually does not like spicy mayo, but in this case, it paired really nice with the crunch of the skin. So yea some good, some medium, and some really bad.

We started with the tempura vegetables that had a super light fry on them and a good variety of veggies. Then we both had bento boxes which included veggies, rice, dumplings, sushi and a protein. On one we had teriyaki chicken and the other was scallops plus an add on of chicken katsu. I thought the scallops were going to be normal sea scallops, but they were the tiny bay scallops. Still tasty, but worth knowing before ordering. I'm glad I doubled down on protein with the chicken katsu which came on it's own plate with dipping sauce. Now that I know what to expect, I'll definitely be stopping in again for dinner or placing a togo order when I'm near Clements Ferry.
