Seaweed salad
Mr. G.

Overall it was an average experience. The place was cold. Ok do the outside temps were low...I get it. But that's why I elect to eat indoors. I kept my jacket on the entire meal. The bar area was pretty empty. Which in fine with. I wxiwcted a large crowd everywhere but surprisingly on a Saturday around 7:00pm it wasn't crazy at all. At this place toy poetically want to come as a large group and not so much as a couple. I think you would enjoy it more as a group as opposed to date night. Service was ok. Nothing to brag or complain about. Food was borderline mediocre, average at best. The seaweed was tough and not as tasty as I'd expect. If was chewy. I had a ceasar salad ir whatever table salad they bring out and it wasn't fresh/freshest. I also had the chicken teriyaki and I could have done without it. Chicken was hard, sauce wasn't authentic, rice was a bit salty. I'd like to try this place again. I think it has potential. One more try but im not rushing into it

Hibachi and it's combination menu..

Good is not like it use to be here. Lower quality and smaller servings. Very disappointing.

It was probably a bad idea to come here but Kita was close to my hotel and I didn't want to drive…read morefar for lunch after just arriving in town. They have several choices on the 3 pages of menus so it made it sort of difficult to pick my poison, so to speak. They bill themselves as modern Japanese. Not sure what that meant, but basically they play modern upbeat music and have a modern interior. They do have lunch specials during the week, but I didn't see many that were appealing as they're a combination of Chinese, Thai and Japanese dishes. They also had poke bowls for lunch, but I'm not so sure about that. Their sushi rolls appeared to be made mostly with cream cheese, which I'm not a big fan of in rolls, so those were out as well. I ended up ordering off of the dinner menu. I chose the grilled lamb chops and a side of steamed rice. I totally missed the 3rd menu which featured the sushi and specialty rolls. The lamb chops were ok, they did have a slight grilled flavor, but also another weird flavor like they weren't that fresh. Maybe customers don't order lamb chops here, as much as maybe they would at a fancy American or Mediterranean restaurant. Either way, I still ate them because I was hungry. I prefer the frenched rib chops better than the loin chop which is served here....since its a much tastier cut. In addition, it's usually more expensive. Overall, I don't see myself ever returning here since I'm also not in the area that much. Service was adequate as our drinks were refilled a couple of times and the waiter made sure to stop by and check on us.

Love the food. Love the the ambiance. Love the space. Love our server, but host, not so much…read more.. This was our second visit to Kita for a casual lunchtime escape, and once again, it did not disappoint. In fact, my stomach was doing a little happy dance by the time we left. From the thoughtfully crafted dishes to the stylish and welcoming ambiance, Kita continues to impress. We shared three rolls, each one showcasing a playful balance of texture and flavor. The "Black and Yellow Roll" was a vibrant blend of salmon, avocado, cucumber, cream cheese, mango, and eel--sweet, creamy, and rich, yet refreshingly light. The "Fry Me a River Roll" was a decadent indulgence, with a medley of chopped fish and salmon paired with cream cheese, all deep-fried in a crispy spring roll wrapper--delightfully crisp on the outside and savory on the inside. Our favorite, though, might have been the "Surf and Turf Roll", a bold combination of panko shrimp, bacon, scallop delight, avocado, and asparagus, topped with seared ribeye and finished with a truffle soy drizzle. Every bite was a flavor bomb--luxurious and satisfying. All in all, Kita remains a go-to for a delightful sushi fix, and we're already looking forward to our next visit.

I am from the west coast. There are hundreds of Japanese eateries in Los Angeles alone. I found…read moremyself in WV on business and was happy to see a teppanyaki restaurant in Charleston. Finding the place was not too difficult using GPS. The facade seemed enticing. Entering the place I could smell and hear the grills which only whet my appetite. I waited about 8 minutes and was shown to a seat. I was the only person at the grill, but was shortly joined by one couple, then another. Orders were taken from the 5 of us about 15 minutes after the last people were seated. I ordered a steak and chicken combo with fried noodles and a salad, and some fried gyoza (dumplings). To drink, I asked for a small Sapporo. The beer arrived shortly along with the gyoza. Then the show began. Anyone who has been to a teppan restaurant knows the drill. The cook makes a big show of oiling and firing up the grill, clanging the instruments on the grill, cutting vegetables and meat in a showy fashion. That part was a 4 of 5 compared to Benihana. I didn't come for the show. I was there expecting some yummy food. Here begins the sad part of the dinner. The gyoza were actually very well done. Fried very crispy with very tasty filling. I was let down by the dipping sauce which seemed to be only soy sauce. The dumplings were good, but the sauce was very lacking. I found that sad because it is so easy to make a good dipping sauce. They should add a little rice vinegar or ginger to the sauce, maybe some green onions. Next was my salad. This looked like some iceberg lettuce and tomato swimming in a bowl of "miso" dressing. Not only was the bowl overloaded with dressing, but the dressing itself tasted like mayonnaise, not the usual citrussy miso dressing I am used to. The main course was beef, chicken and grilled vegetables. The meats were OK, not great. The veggies were seemed only partially grilled as they released lots of water when plated. The really sad part of this were the noodles. These were not asian noodles in any sense of the word. It seemed like they went to Krogers and bought some flat Italian noodles then boiled them before lightly grilling them. Even chow mien noodles would have been better, or at least some semblance of an asian dish. It is almost a sin to call these grilled noodles. It seemed like they were boiled, then warmed on a grill for a few minutes. Want to know what they are supposed to be like? Just google YAKISOBA. I ate the beef and some of the chicken and vegetables, but overall it was not a good meal. I know there are not a lot of ethnic restaurants in Charleston, but this place is just sad. It is too bad that the people in this town can't experience a good Japanese steakhouse. The best part of this $42 meal was the beer and the gyoza. Not interested in eating a bowl of noodle soup. Will not be back or recommend to anyone.
