She was knowledgeable about the menu, gave excellent recommendations, and made sure our food and drinks arrived quickly and exactly as ordered.

She truly made our visit to Yoshi Ramen enjoyable, and it's one of the main reasons we'll be coming back. If you're dining at Yoshi Ramen, I hope you have Lily as your server.

With it being my first time back in Fort Mill after sometime, I was ecstatic to see this place show up. Upon entrance, the elevated honeycomb seating on the right immediately caught my eye and I knew I had to sit there. The staff was polite in greeting me and provided recommendations after I sat down. For a drink, I decided to try the POKKA Oolong Tea, which was a toss up on whether I'd enjoy it. It was delicious and settled perfectly with all the food. For an appetizer, I decided to get the Tokoyaki which came in a solid portion and tasted great. For my ramen dish, I opted for a house favorite, Spicy Garlic Ramen with a level 2 heat. The whole dish was a perfect balance of tasty topping, well cooked noodles, and a delicious broth. The pork was so tender and of good quality. All in all, this place has such a wonderful atmosphere for grabbing some food by yourself or with friends. The small plates make for perfect sharing and the seating arrangement breeds a feeling of togetherness so often missing from dining experiences. The staff was so kind and helpful, and I even got to learn a bit about the beauty of Indonesia.

I'll start by saying that while we've routinely had delivery from Spice, until this recent visit we had never actually eaten there. Our goal was to enjoy a late afternoon on the rooftop bar. Unfortunately, it was busier than we anticipated and the only open tables were unshaded. No problem, we went back downstairs and helped ourselves to seats at the bar. Our drinks were well-made and thirst-quenching - it was honestly hard to pick the best among the Japanese Old-Fashioned, Asian Pear Martini and Lychee Martini (confession, I'm not a lychee fan but if I was I'd have two of these). By now we've had most of the items on the menu and have never received a bad meal. My favorite Small Plate is the Spicy Tuna Rice Crisps. Fresh tuna served on Japanese style crisped rice cakes with a hint of spicy mayo. I could eat these every week - and yet, we didn't order them this visit. Instead, we had the Roti Canai, edamame, vegan fresh spring rolls and seared scallops. All were devoured, so good! Among the other menu items, my recommendations are the Green Curry and the Short Rib. The rib in particular is fall-off-the-bone tender and served with a flavorful au jus sauce. I was very impressed by the service (especially compared to that of several other restaurants in the area). Our bartender was busy, yet still cheerful and attentive (and she made great drinks), Definitely in my overall Top Five among restaurants in the Fort Mill / Rock Hill area. Highly recommended!

Cuisine: 7 Service: 8…read moreDecor: 8 Value: 7 Overall: 7 I didn't expect myself to like it since I generally do not appreciate Asian fusion. However, this place was honestly quite good, along with excellent service and wonderful decor. Two of us started with some Edamame and Tom Kha Soup, which were both just alright. Where the meal started to shine was they brought the perfectly Seared Scallops w/ Vermicelli. I have been to Michelin starred restaurants that didn't have such a beautiful sear on their scallops. What a tasty treat! As for the entrees, the Braised Beef Short Rib was another spectacular dish. Falling off the bone tender and a rich savory sauce. However, the Bibimbap was nowhere near the quality we have in NYC. I honestly didn't expect to like this restaurant, but I really did enjoy the meal way more than anticipated. I will gladly return for those Seared Scallops and Braised Beef Short Rib again.

We celebrated our latest anniversary with a date night here...and what a great choice!…read more Luckily, they accommodated my request for a seat by the rail outside on their rooftop patio...and we had an amazing view of Charlotte!! In a way, I was surprised how the view was so good. I really didn't think you could see much of Charlotte from this South Charlotte location, and I was dead wrong! BTW, inside of the restaurant was quite nice too. Not only was the view amazing, they provided an entertaining DJ music scene as the night went on. A bit loud and over-the-top, but it was definitely festive. The place was also an ideal place for that perfect Instagram shot...with plenty of photo-op set-ups and flattering lighting, and of course, the view of the city! Of course I loved their menu as Japanese foods are always a favorite for me. We ordered several apps to share, like the Waygu Bao Buns, Truffle Macaroni and Spicy Edamame...then 2 sushi rolls, Kizuna for my husband and Tokimeki for myself...then we ended with their fancy Creme Brulee. We enjoyed everything...but I especially loved their Bao Buns and the Truffle Macaroni. While the sushi rolls were good, I felt that it could have been a bit more flavorful. The service was also on point. Our server, Beurkens, did a fantastic job...as we never had to wait for anything too long. He was also super-polished and friendly at the same time. Truly, this place was so much better than I would have anticipated. The restaurant was so fabulous and fun...with the vibe, service and foods to match. Looking forward to returning soon!

TLDR: Nice ambience, but service could use some significant improvement, especially when…read moreimplementing mandatory 20% gratuity on all checks. Overall, this place hypes itself up like their designer (check the guest guidelines on their website), but it's really just a Temu knockoff with a nice view. Visiting from out of town, my husband and I came in around 9pm on a Friday evening for some late night bites and cocktails for our date night. I have an unwavering affliction for cute rooftop spots and the menu looked phenomenal, so it seemed like the perfect spot for an elevated night out. We were warmly greeted upon entering by the hostess who recommended the rooftop patio, which was being handled by their amazing server Sebastian, so we took her up on the rec. We found a cozy spot with a great view and waited... After waiting for some time, Brook finally came by our table, took a card to preauthorize, and asked if we wanted menus. My husband and I both ordered the samurai smoked old fashioned. Brook did give us a heads up that it contained sake and would be a variation of a traditional old fashioned, which we appreciated. It was ok.. a light version of the original, but probably not something we would order again. As we were waiting for our food, Sebastian stopped by, said he was splitting the area with Brook, and told us that if we needed anything at all, to not hesitate to ask. For food, we ordered a Renge roll, seared scallops (2 pc), Wagyu carpaccio (3pc) and 6 chilled oysters. Everything was good, but nothing really stood out and sounded much better on paper than it actually tasted. Again, it was good, but considering the price and the way the restaurant hypes itself up, I was expecting to be blown away. Unfortunately, it was very underwhelming. The oysters were probably the best, but their flavor was inconsistent, almost like someone just threw on the accompaniments without making sure they were even placed. The carpaccio was cut way thicker than what you would expect, and just made the dish seem heavy and like the flavors were competing with each other. The scallops were cooked well, but lacked any significant flavor. Towards the end of the meal, we ordered another round of drinks, an espresso martini and traditional old fashioned. By the time we finished, Brook came and asked if we were interested in dessert. I was on the fence, so she said she would just bring the dessert menu anyways, and I also asked for the cocktail menu again. We planned on ordering one final round of drinks, but Brook never came back after she dropped off the menus. By this time, it was around 10:30. The place was far from crowded.. there were numerous staff members hanging out on the patio and gathered at the end of the bar chatting, so it's not like she was as busy attending other tables. After about 20 minutes, we just decided to try and get our check. Since Brook never ever came back, we flagged down Sebastian and asked for it. Unfortunately, he proceeded to have about a 15 min convo with the two ladies at the table behind us before we decided to go inside and see if we could track down our check. There wasn't anyone at the host stand and the restaurant inside was a ghost town, except for the bar, so we asked the bartender for it. As we were waiting, we saw Brook at the other end of the bar chatting with another employee. Once she saw us, she went back out to the table and proceeded to start clearing it off, like it was no big deal that she ignored us for the last 45 min and never brought our check. I mean, they preauthorize the card in beginning and then charge 20% gratuity, so what's the point? At the end of the day, we spent just under $250 for two people to have 4 drinks and 4 apps, which is pricey, but not something I would complain about if the service wasn't laughable.

Went to this little Asian Restaurant today for a "To-go" lunch…read more I ordered my to go lunch there at the front reception desk . I Broke my own rule and never checked their health score until I was waiting on my food. Let's talk about this food. I ordered their basic food. Seriously- the basic lunch special. Chicken fried rice, with spring roll & Egg drop soup . Watching the gal at the front reception bagging up my food I noticed there was no sauces in my bag for the spring roll. I had to ask for sauces .. or there would have been none. Upon realizing that, I asked for a couple soy sauce also cause I wasn't sure how this was gonna go. I also had requested when I ordered the chicken fried rice to not include carrots. To my surprise there was nothing else in this fried rice other than a few and I do mean less than 8 tiny pieces of onion. No bean sprouts, no peas , no water chestnuts, no pea pods, no nothing just sticky fried rice with chicken and those 8 teny tiny onion bits. It was so very meh. I was extremely disappointed. I guess you have to tell the girl up front every single thing you want included or it's not gonna happen. Speaking of disappointing- I also didn't get any of those crunchy noodles for my egg drop soup so that was also very disappointing. The biggest mistake I made was not checking their health score until after I had paid. It was strategically hidden behind decorations on the wall . I literally had to move them to see it. Would I go back. Hard no. Their Basic food was horrible. The soup with no noodles , sauces I had to ask for, and fried rice that was lacking everything including flavor. Nope. BTW their health score is 90. Just barely an A. The reasons listed for that low score were very concerning. I don't normally NOT recommend a place on my first visit but too many misses and mistakes. Hard no .

In light of all of these inconsistencies (and unfairness), I deleted all prior reviews. On my past 2 orders of General Tso Chicken, I noticed how they added maybe 3-4 Broccoli to the large order (HUH?!?). To combat their skimpy use of Broccoli, I ordered "EXTRA" Broccoli (with extra charge, of course) this time...and turned out that they managed to add maybe 4 more Broccoli to the order. WOW. On this latest order, the initial charge of this General Tso Chicken was over 16 bucks (restaurant pricing), with the Brown Rice and "Extra" Broccoli. I learned then that they charge you extra for Brown Rice. To me, that qualifies as "hidden fees". I used to think the pricing was really good here, but not anymore! Well, just to bring up this recurring issue of skimpy Broccoli, I called the restaurant...and the rep brought this issue to the kitchen...to which I could literally hear this man (Cook? Manager?) SCREAMING in Chinese in the background. OMFG?!? That was so rude!!! Even he must haven known that the caller could hear all that. I knew I wasn't going to get any money back...I was simply calling to point out their ridiculously stingy use of Broccoli in this dish. I actually got so worked up over this order that I forgot to take any pictures! Well, I had my say...and although I can't understand Chinese, whoever that was screaming bloody nonsense back in the kitchen basically responded in the crudest of manners...by SCREAMING. Again, just WOW. That qualifies as ZERO in customer service LOL! Like I've mentioned in my previous reviews, I've always thought the foods were pretty good at this joint...though honestly, there isn't much of a choice in this town for better Chinese. I've always liked their Singapore Noodle...and even this General Tso Chicken in question is good (I've ordered this several times over the years). However, I remember some seriously disappointing items here as well (really bad Fried Dumplings, for one). It's too bad that they can't stay consistent...and more importantly, fair with their foods (veggie portions?) and pricing standards. Obviously, my opinion of this establishment has changed greatly. Not to say that I'll never order from them again...but I will say that I am now very wary of them. In fact, when able, I plan on checking on the foods and pricing before leaving their premises.
