Hachi Express

The service was very good in spite of a busy lunchtime and a short wait staff. Our server, Jordan,…read morewas a pro and balanced the tables well. It was graduation day, so the restaurant was getting hit with those who attended first session, like us, and those who planned to attend the second session. The lunch special is a really good deal. Three sushi rolls for $15.95 or two for $12.95. Many of the rolls are cooked, fusion rolls, but there are a few raw rolls too. Be aware that here, the spicy tuna roll is minced tuna and not pieces of tuna. I have always felt that the minced tuna with a hot sauce was likely older tuna and this was a method of salvaging it rather than tossing it out. We did eat a few pieces with no ill effect, but with the concern in mind, and the texture, I did t finish the spicy tuna roll. It was good flavor wise, but had I known ahead of time, another choice would have been made. (If only I had read my own Yelp review from 8 years ago!) Miso Soup or Ginger salad is included with the meal. I had the ginger salad. It had twice as much of the creamy Ginger dressing than any of our party of four wanted, but we all ate around it. (At least I'm consistent, this was also in my own review from 8 years ago. Should've read my own review!) The sushi is good, we ordered several nigiri options. It is a clean restaurant and pleasant. Who would have ever thought that here "in little old Clemson, SC" we would have a successful sushi restaurant that has now been here for several years?!!!

The service was horrible. Our waitress never came back to check on us and left our drinks empty…read morebefore we even got our food. The chicken was flavorless and took minutes to chew one piece, and the steak was raw (completely pink). When I went to pay for my food, I tipped our server $1 (which I would consider kind considering how awful the experience was) then another server proceeded to ask if that was all I was going to tip. Highly recommend NOT coming to this restaurant.

We then watched as the other car pulled out of the lot and immediately returned because they had the wrong order. The other customer walked the order back inside. We watched the entire interaction through the large window as the server pulled the receipt from the trash and immediately walked back out the door to us with the same food that had, mind you, been not only handed off to another customer, left the parking lot, but had been opened by the other customer. My husband and I both asked if these were the same plates we just watched go into the other customer's car, and the young man delivering the order admitted he had mixed up the orders. We requested the order be remade because this is a health code violation, and he gave multiple excuses why they could not remake our food and pushed for us to take the food that had been brought back by the other customer. We refused, and my husband demanded a refund and followed the server back inside. Once inside the manager and the server refused to acknowledge why it is a health code violation to give us the same food they handed to another customer, repeatedly stated it was just a mix up and not a big deal, and were unwilling to remake our food order that they messed up. They did eventually process a refund, but I cannot support a business that blatantly admits to disregarding regulations on food handling and safety.

Great. Very fast service: food came within 3 minutes of ordering. Food consists of a huge portion of fried rice, a choice of surprisingly tender meat, and carrots. Portions are good, and range from $6.99-$10.99. Also has a drive-thru for quick stops. read more

I asked what type of tuna they use for the sashimi, and she admitted she wasn't sure, but she happily went to the kitchen to find out for me. She came back with the answer, "Osaka sushi grade," which made me smile because that's not actually a type of tuna. I genuinely appreciated that she asked instead of trying to make something up. The sashimi itself wasn't bad, just surprisingly bland. The rolls were also pretty underwhelming. Looking back at the menu, the limited sushi selection probably should have told me that sushi isn't really the star of the show here. If you're coming for hibachi, you'll probably have a completely different experience. If you're a sushi enthusiast who gets excited about albacore, specialty nigiri, or asking what species of tuna you're eating... you'll probably understand why I laughed at "Osaka sushi grade."
