Found this new spot online, so decided to make the 35 minute drive from Ballantyne to Rock Hill,…read morebecause I never let distance deter me from the possibility of discovering hidden gems when it comes to sushi, but spoiler alert, I should have taken the L on this one and saved both the gas money and the overpriced lunch cost. Arrived around 11:15am, and the restaurant was completely empty even though it opened for lunch at 11am. Can't comment on the buffet offerings, as they had not stocked it yet (heads up if you plan to arrive early for the buffet). Server said desserts and salad would eventually be set up (they were available as I was walking out after I had finished my meal). Wanted to focus on nigiri and sashimi and had no issue paying the predictable $0.50/pc charge that places charge for sashimi at the AYCE spots around Charlotte, but was surprised to find that sashimi was a "dinner only" item, along with more than half the nigiri menu. Only nigiri during lunch is mackerel, tuna, tamago, masago, red snapper, salmon, shrimp, crab, and tobiko. Hard to believe no eel, scallop, surf clam, squid, octopus, yellowtail are included as part of the AYCE lunch menu and no sashimi options at all. The way it was explained to me, these are premium items that cost more, but when I explained that every other AYCE place offers them during lunch, I was told that Mikado uses higher quality than everywhere else...um ok. Weird thing is that teriyaki menu was also cut in half by 50% during lunch, so needless to say, not much in the way of value when you are paying $18.99 for AYCE lunch (50% off coupon was only for one day during soft opening) and the menu excludes numerous items. Ended up getting only one nigiri- red snapper, given none of the normal nigiri items were available during lunch. Also decided on the 3 in 1 roll and the Dragon roll. Given that my wife is actually from Japan, I totally understand the weird concept of Chinese owned sushi restaurants, but it was a total fail when the server incorrectly stated multiple times that the sushi chefs were both Japanese and Chinese "and all that" to quote her directly, even after I asked are you sure, because it is so rare to find Japanese sushi chefs outside of major cities, and yet she was adamant that they some of the chefs were in fact from Japan. I asked which part of Japan and she proceeded to say that they don't speak any English, but she would ask the owner. Needless to say, the owner confirmed that of course none of the sushi chefs were from Japan and that they were all Chinese. This may be considered a small thing to some, but demonstrates a complete lack of training at best and cultural ignorance at worst. Once the owner corrected the server for her error, she came off as irritated and annoyed in my opinion vs being thankful to have been educated that there is a huge difference between Japanese and Chinese, as they are two unique cultures that cannot simply be lumped together as "and all that". Once the food came, it was mediocre at best and definitely not worth the $18.99 price tag, especially given all the similar to cheaper price points within a 30 minute radius. Normally I would do multiple rounds at AYCE places, but after finishing my subpar meal, I decided to cut my losses, get my check, and count this one as the L I should have taken before getting in my car an hour earlier. Have tried numerous mediocre sushi places across the region, but in my opinion, this one is even below the proverbial Mendoza line for all the above mentioned reasons.

The only drawback for me was that the lighting was a little dim. Overall, Hanako serves the best sushi in the Indian Land area. When I'm craving sushi locally, this is my go-to spot!

When Tokyo Japan opened up a little over a month ago, we saw the great reviews. I knew we had to check it out. Not going to bash the other place. So I'll just give the positives of Tokyo Japan. Much much more spacious. And clean. The chefs are much more professional and spot on as far as making the meals. We dine at a hibachi table with a family who had several allergic concerns. So the chef took his time to make sure everything was addressed, which we all really appreciated. For the first time I ordered the calamari and shrimp hibachi dinner. And it was superb. Miso soup was great as was the salad with the sesame dressing. We will absolutely be back. we are very much looking forward to going back! Kudos the management, the staff and our chef.
