When I walked up the cook was outside smoking, he came inside to prepare the food. I noticed he did not wash his hands and he did not put any gloves on before handling the food. I thought, maybe he washed hands in back of kithcen therefore I said notging. 2am my stomach woke me up cramping, I rushed to tiolet with upset stomach. This is not my 1st time seeing the cook do the exact same thing. I am filing compliant with york county health board, that cook should be wearing gloves when handling food for the public and coming from outside smoking a nasty cigarette. read more

When I came here, I was told that this place served some very delicious hibachi. Of course, this comes from college students who stay right across the street from this place. So on this day in particular, I decided to stop by. The inside of the restaurant looks a little older and the side I entered on had boxes so it was cluttered. When I walked around the corner, they were standing around and no one says anything. No biggie. A Lady walks up and she asks can she take my order. I decided on the shrimp hibachi. Then I wait. While waiting, I noticed that there were two people dining in. The cooks grabs rice out of a pot and put it in the to-go box, and then he begins cooking the shrimp and veggies. My order is bagged and handed to me and I leave. I pick up my student and we head home. She drives so I eat. BLAND is the word. This did not give a robust or very flavorful hibachi. The sauce that they give will bump it up a tad but not much. All in all, I doubt I will return. read more

This place is to die for. The chicken yakisoba is fantastic! The friend rice and sushi are top notch. The price is reasonable and the service is very fast. So impressed! This is a go-to spot now! read more

Yuck. Sushi didn't seem fresh. Soups were bland and tasteless. The only thing that my friend and I liked was the seaweed salad. Other than that, the place smelled bad, the walls were and bathroom dirty. read more

The food is exactly what I was looking for. Top notch. The service was also excellent. Very friendly.

I've loved this place for years. Sushi is consistently good and yakisoba is one of my favorites. Hibachi is great too!

The fried rice is dry. The sweet carrots was unseasoned The customer service was horrible, the drive thru lady was surely . The chicken was fatty . read more

The food was delicious, but the looks of the place made me look for the A on the door. Which they did have, so we proceeded. Great sushi, great prices....They really need to work on the ambiance. read more

Last couple of times I visited this establishment the people who worked there were rude! RUDE AF!! Their food is not good enough for me to ever go back and have to deal with that. NOPE. read more

Will not be back. Gave me the incorrect order and refused to compensate me for the error and wasted time/gas driving back. Then, they put my order behind everyone who ordered after us instead of moving it to the top. Cleanliness is very questionable as well. Do not recommend. Fuji Japan steakhouse take out much better! read more

Ordered online and arrived 5 minutes before they opened. Lady at window said I would be waiting. 20 minutes later and nothing. I Called the store to check on my order and was told it would be another 15 minutes. Waited another 10 after the 15 minutes before my food came out! And I had to go inside to check again! Meanwhile an employee came out to smoke twice while I waited on my food. I waisted my entire lunch break waiting on food! Online ordering should not be open if orders can not be filled. read more

If I could give zero or half a star I would.... I ordered 5 rolls to eat in and was served on takeout containers. Ordered the miso soup it was very very watered down, could not taste any of the miso, tofu inside seemed to be old. Volcano roll is not like any I've ever had. I've never had cream cheese INSIDE the volcano roll. No chopsticks available until we were halfway thru our meal. Not a fan. read more

Ichiro will always have my heart and soul. Friendly, fast, efficient staff. Fresh, plentiful and simply great tasting hibachi, teriyaki and sushi entrees for very reasonable prices. For Japanese cuisine in the Rock Hill area, Ichiro initially set the bar, and continues to maintain it to this day. I frequent every Japanese cuisine establishment in the area on a regular basis, and for the freshness, amount of food, consistently, wonderful taste, and value for money, they simply cannot be beat. Though Ichiro may lack the fancy, arguably pretentious decor of other Japanese eateries in the area, what is does excel in is exceptionally tasty, plentiful and very fresh food at very reasonable prices, which is what matters most. They are truly a culinary diamond in the Rock Hill area that I always visit and recommend to others again and again and again. read more

It's beyond me how this place has a A health rating. We grabbed two teriyaki salmon entrees and an eel roll. The eel had little "hairs" on it, and after we ordered I noticed the ceiling is stained BLACK from all the dust and junk in the air vents. We got a cup of water and the water had little black particles in it like some sort of dirt / sediment. Food was nasty. I'll probably be losing my stomach to the toilet tonight. read more

These mfks so damn rude and depressing I have to give them 1 star. They don't even greet you when you come in and won't even respond if you say hello to them. They just look at you and keep moping around making orders. The food isn't that good. Sushi isn't nothing special. Their attitudes make it a whole lot worse like if you don't wanna be there just close the establishment read more

The steak hibachi was soooo good! The sauce that comes with it is so delicious too! Definitely going back soon to try more !

Very tasty satisfying food. We had the steak hibachi and chicken teriyaki. Great quality for the price. Nothing extraordinary about the service, but nothing negative to reporteither. read more

I ordered 3 different rolls of sushi on DoorDash. they sent me 2 pieces of each roll. what a ripoff!! I paid an average of 8 dollars for each order and got sent 2 pieces. Not happy. read more

Ichiro is are favorite place to get Sushi and Udon noodles. Food is great and plenty.

I used to come all the time when I went to Winthrop. After a few years I tried it again today and it's gone down hill. The teriyaki chicken was weirdly cooked and had a funny taste to it. The shrimp sauce and broccoli was decent. Huge portions. The floor was also sticky and my shoes stuck to the ground every time I took a step. Probably won't be going back. read more

My husband I have eaten at IRCHIRO a number of times, we've eaten inside and ordered food to go. Very good food! I'm not a sushi eater, I have their Undon noodles. My daughter enjoy's their edamame, green beans steamed. Wonderful "Sushi ", as I understand. Rated 10+ read more

Fast service, but the food quality is definitely lacking. The sushi I ordered was decent, but the hibachi chicken and the rice were very dry. It got to a point where it just couldn't eat it any further. read more

As I'm reviewing my first (what what i can honestly say will be my only) visit, I'm trying to remain objective given my expectations. The restaurant isn't fancy, but it's not dirty. It has the feel of a 90s chain restaurant, and the staff is nice. However, the food here is nothing shy of horrible. I ordered the teriyaki chicken for $8.95, which is supposed to come with a side of rice, carrots, and broccoli. What i received, however, was a fillet of burned gristle, atop a bed of dry rice, a full cup of cabbage, three carrot strips, and two tiny broccoli florets. The chicken was not chicken. Once you bit beyond the crispy outside (which tasted of old peanut oil) it was mushy inside and tasted like pork fat. I'm fairly sure there was NO chicken in my chicken. The "vegetable mix" was nothing more than a heaping pile of soggy cabbage with two broccoli florets, and a few strips of shredded carrot for a nice colorful addition. Finally the drinks. They have a standard selection of Pepsi products: dr pepper, pepsi, mt dew, diet pepsi. All of the brown drinks tasted the same. I'm not saying they tasted similar. They ALL TASTED THE EXACT SAME. I tried the dr pepper first and was out off with how weird it tasted (not at all like dr pepper). When i went back for a different drink it tested the EXACT SAME. And even the diet pepsi tasted exactly like the others! I know food joints are going through tough financial times right now, but these were some other worldly shenanigans. No broccoli? No carrots? They're cheap ingredients! Not even real chicken? And what the hell was in those drinks? All in all this was possibly the worst meal I've eaten in ages, and i encourage everyone to choose different eatery when craving some asian food. read more

Haven't had Ichiro in a very long time, probably years. It used to be a frequent lunch spot when I attended the University across the street. I ordered my go-to roll of the past, the Rock Hill roll. Something about it was way different and it wasn't as tasty as I remember. Also ordered a Chicken Teriyaki plate and they have changed the rice from white to brown...not as good. It saddens me the taste has changed from what it was in the beginning. read more

Don't let the hole-in-the-wall look throw you off - I've gotten sushi from there numerous times and it never failed to taste fresh and very good. The service is always friendly and the prep time time is as expected. The miso soup is always good, as is the chicken and rice soup. I haven't had their hibachi or fried rice, so I can't speak to that. During this pandemic, smaller restaurants run the risk of falling through the cracks. Give this one a chance and let's support small restaurants in general! read more

Love it here! I've always been a quantity over quality guy, and for this place there's only a little sacrifice of quality honestly. The chicken is never dry, and the price is as competitive as any other hibachi-type place. Been going here for years. My standard for hibachi as long as I can remember! Don't be fooled by the outside, you'll be too happy eating to focus on that's anyway. Huge fan read more

Closed for dine-in, staff wear masks. The portion sizes are pretty big so that's a plus, but overall the food was average. Not terrible but the rice and sushi we had was a little off tasting. Overall not bad if you just want something simple but definitely could be better. read more

The food was great! I highly recommend for lunch or dinner! Chicken Combo was so good!

Their hibachi beef is amazing for the price. While the beef is probably a cheap cut, it's still soft and lean and tastes like real beef unlike Dragon Express, who's hibachi beef is chewy and soft--in the fake Chinese takeout way. Ask for teriyaki sauce on the side, otherwise it will be a rather dry meal (it doesn't have enough flavor on its own but I'm not complaining). You get double the amount of meat for half the price compared to places like Fuji Japan. Also, extra beef is only $4.50 to make it double meat. Literally the best post workout meal you could have. read more

We got sushj all together it was 38 dollars. Very excited, but when we got it it was average. That's it, average. Also they make you pay for sauce?? Like I get it if it's more than 2 but we just wanted one yum yum and had to pay a dollar. Also, the customer service was horrible, the lady that checks us out was really rude. We should have went to Publix. Not to mention, as I was leaving I noticed the staff in the kitchen weren't wearing masks. Probably the worst part, I went to use the rest room and there was a baby roach crawling on the wall. Would not recommend to anyone. On a positive note though the crab Rangoon's were great. read more

Ichiro - Seaweed salad and pot sticker are YUMMY! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Rock Hill, South Carolina

I ordered shrimp hibachi and a spring roll on 9/24/2020. When I tasted the spring roll, it was cold as if it had not been fully cooked. I drove back and returned item. I was questioned about how long I had the item despite the manager assisting me with the order. I explained to the manager that the temperature was not due to lapse in time, but food being undercooked. Manager received item back and informed me that it would be a 10 minute wait. While there, I asked for an extra container of shrimp sauce. The manager informed me that it would be $1.00 charge. While I'm aware there is a customary charge for extra sauce, it is very poor customer service to charge a customer who had to return food due to issue on the restaurant's part. I was highly disappointed that my time nor gas or just providing great customer service was not taken into consideration, but instead the focus was on how to earn an extra buck. Great customer service should always over rule earning a buck...literally $1.00. Business growth and wealth are contingent upon repeated customers. Unfortunately, I will not be a repeated customer.

Pleasantly surprised by this hidden treasure! I haven't tried the sushi, though I've heard it's delicious. The teriyaki chicken and shrimp is my favorite dish!! The portions are pretty big for me but their food reheats very well. The woman behind the register is always really nice. read more

Fast food building turned into sushi place...honestly never thought I would see that! Besides the self serve drinks and ordering fom the counter, everything else seemed to function pretty much the same as a normal sushi restaurant. Looks aside, the food here was pretty good. I ordered the philadelphia roll and the rock hill roll. The fish looked and tasted fresh; both rolls looked well prepared. I also had to try some appetizers, the gyoza and shumai tasted good and the 8 piece serving is nice (I've been to places with only 4). Miso soup was also good, but nothing to write home about. The people were friendly and helpful and they bring everything out to your table, and everything was clean, so service is perfect here. Prices are pretty much normal for a sushi place, I was starved and ate 30 bucks of food...lol. Here I figured I was in the middle of nowhere and we run across a 'diamond in the rough' as the saying goes. read more

I didn't expect too much from a sushi bar in an old Church's Chicken, but the American food restaurant next door was closed, so we decided to try Ichiro! I guess fate dealt us a winner this time. They have a fairly large menu. So many choices! I went for the Gyozas (served hot and crispy, great flavor), the Making Special Dinner (Spicy Tuna roll, California roll, Miso Soup) the Spicy Tuna was definitely fresh and seasoned perfectly. The California roll was average, not bad at all, but did not stand out. The misplaced soup was delicious. I also ordered a Spider Roll (Soft Shell Crab) which was the best I've ever had. I live in California, and the crab is from this area, so it is much fresher. The service is good. Also, fountain drinks! Usually assimilated places serve soft drinks from the can, so here you save money on refills. Will definitely come back if I come this way again! read more
