To be honest friends, I don't know how I haven't reviewed this place before. This is one of my staples in the Columbia area. The staff here is outstanding, legitimately make me feel like family every time I'm here. I always get a side of fried rice and douse it in yum yum because it's to die for. I also usually end up getting at least one special roll (typically it's the Mr Krabs roll). The takoyaki is delicious. The music is always pleasant and the lighting is romantic. 10/10 always come here. My favorite sushi/japanese style place in the entire metro area. If you haven't come here DO IT. (Side note literally as I finally write this, my main server - the guy with the tattoo sleeve in the making, side note you're the greatest! - came over and shook my hand to say it's nice to see you. If yall don't get it together and come to this incredible place, you don't like ya mama and ya got athletes foot. Hahaha naw I'm playing but fr this place SLAPS!) read more

My husband and I tried Konnichiwa in Irmo for the first time, and we had an amazing experience! The restaurant was very clean, and from the moment we walked in, the service was top-tier. Everyone was pleasant, welcoming, and attentive. Our server, Made, was incredibly friendly and helpful. Since it was our first visit, he took the time to explain the menu and made sure we had everything we needed. He was truly on point! My husband ordered the deep-fried Mama Roll, and I ordered the Hwy 9 Roll without avocado. Our food came out hot, fresh, and absolutely delicious! Between the excellent food, clean atmosphere, and outstanding service, Konnichiwa definitely earned a 10/10 from us. We will absolutely be returning! read more

Came here with some friends for dinner on a Saturday night. It wasn't very busy so we got sat right away. Our server was so nice and friendly. We ordered way too much food but we enjoyed all of it. The pork tonkotsu ramen was pleasant and savory, the spicy tuna crispy rice was so addicting and loved all the textures. The bento box was huge and it had so many options. We got some additional sushi rolls and appetizers so we basically shared everything. Really solid food and we left happy and full! read more

Visiting from California and wanted some sushi so we found this spot nearby. The location had plenty of parking and the inside was nice. Their service was very friendly, they took great care of us. We enjoyed most of the food! The sushi rolls were good but the rolls that have crab meat, are made with a full crab meat stick rather than shredded crab meat (which I highly prefer). Not sure if this is normal in SC? Overall, this was a solid sushi spot. read more

If you want lots of sushi options, this might just be your spot, with multiple pages of different kinds of sushi rolls and a foot note that says "please ask your server for more options". Excellent service, they are quick to keep you glass filled. We got a table quickly on a Saturday night. Tons of booth seating & nice lighting. Starters of Miso Soup & Ginger Salad. If you're a big Ginger fan, just a heads up the salad is iceberg & shredded carrot with a very sweet sauce that did not taste like it had any ginger. The Rainbow roll was delicious, would definitely get that again. A fan of Kimchi, we decided to try the New Gangnam (Fillet Mignon Steak, Cucumber, Spring ivix, top wi Tempura Kimchi, Kabayaki Sauce, Bang-Bang Sauce, Bubu Arare). You will definitely feel full after this one. It felt heavy and turns out fried is not for me. Also tried the Blue Ridge Roll (Tuna, Salmon, Mango, Avocado Wrap with peeled Cucumber). It was ok, but by far it was the Rainbow Roll that won out this night. read more

We went here today and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Ordered Chicken Katsu Bento box, Shrimp Bento box, Mr Ali G Roll, and another roll. All of the food was amazing. Our server was very attentive and made sure we had all that we needed (wanted). We will be back again! Friendly, inviting atmosphere. Thank you for a wonderful time! read more

We absolutely loved the first time we went to their new location but the second time was awful. The tea tasted funny, my roll tasted funny and so did my son's tofu hibachi bowl. The first time it was all mixed in though the second time it was just layered with sauce on top. It wasn't until our exit that we noticed a B on the door either. You literally just opened and already have a B. No thanks read more

Sushi is very good. Staff is friendly and service is wonderful. My family enjoys sushi dinner here frequently.

Prices on menu are not what you are charged. Be aware they charge a cc fee. Last week I dined here with friends, discovered last night that 3 of us got ill on Wednesday. One with vomiting and diarrhea. Two ( myself included) with diarrhea. We all had different items. We've enjoyed their food in the past but we will be taking a break from here. read more

Delicious food, and you're guaranteed to have leftovers. Food is always served perfectly hot and fresh. Very reliable. Clean restaurant and fast and friendly service. I recommend the bento box, best bang for your buck. A great addition to Broad River Rd. read more

Well.. not an authentic Japanese place. Servers are nice and good service but I was disappointed with the food. I ordered "Chirashi" which came with 6 pieces of sashimi (three kinds, two each) with a bunch of vegetables. Chirashi usually has tons of different kinds of sashimi. Originally wanted to order Hamachi Kama but the description the server gave me was not real Kama, I changed the order. They have a lot of rolls so if you like "Americanized" Japanese food, you will still enjoy this place. If you want real Japanese food, you should go to Inakaya in the east side of town. read more

The food here is decent for the area. I got the tiger roll, which was pretty good. The service is always nice but not particularly friendly and there's nothing really excellent or also about this place. read more

We love this place! We have gone at different times and food is always good! Portions are nice size and food always comes out fast and fresh. Everything I've tried has been delicious! I highly recommend the crab Rangoon and the Bang Bang chicken bowl! Service is normally fast though it can take some time when they are super busy. But it's definitely worth it! read more

Love this place, go to hibachi spot in Irmo. Shoutout to Konnichiwa staff always so welcoming. And good never misses.

The sushi was presented beautifully. The portions were large. Service was prompt and very courteous. Sometimes a little hard to understand. And the atmosphere was pleasant. I wound go back again. I recommend it. read more

Absolutely loved this location. Used to be Fatz but now it's very nice inside. Staff greets you upon arriving and in passing with konnichiwa. The food was amazing. I've been to three locations in this food was the best (tho all are good). Seasoned. Generous portions. If the sushi has crawfish....order it. Everything is seasoned and delicious. Presentation a 10! Did I say food was good??! read more

A great place to pop into for a work day lunch! The Bowl special with the hibachi rice, vegetables and protein of choice is always the best! Delicious food and great atmosphere! The appetizers and starters are a lil over priced in my opinion. Yet, the sushi roll options are endless, from fried rolls to veggie rolls to rolls that come with fruit salad on top the options are endless! read more

We've tried the Lexington location and I was super excited to see them open a location in Irmo. The sushi here is so delicious and well made. The options are expansive and the prices aren't too bad. The servers made great suggestions. It's always a win when my kids can try a variety of foods and eat pretty much everything. read more

If you value really good sushi this is the place. Great presentation with great sushi and wide selection.

Bang Bang shrimp roll was AMAZING!! Smothered in crab meat & topped with fried shrimp coated in bang bang sauce then topped with scallions. It's huge! 2 rolls smothered in deliciousness!! Must try! read more

So originally we ordered our food to go but then I realized I didn't need to rush . We should sit and enjoy the meal. Staff nicely was accommodating to switching us to dine in. The food was very fresh and sushi was amazing. The only odd thing ( if I had to choose one ) was we were going to pay for our drinks separate since the food was paying in advance as it was originally to go order, and the waiter asked us about four times if we were ready to pay for our drinks within 30 minutes. Neither here nor there--I cannot wait to return. We very much enjoyed our meal & the hospitality was great. A very nice place with great staff. read more

First time trying to newly opened Konnichiwa in Irmo. Heard good reviews of the one in Lexington so wanted to give this one a try. The restaurant was nice and clean and provided a lot of seating. We did have a little of a wait in between being seated and ordering. They were a little busy so no big deal. The food came quick & was hot/fresh. The spider roll was good! 8/10 - the tuna roll was okay. The texture was a bit different from other tuna rolls I've had - 5/10. The spring rolls were really good! 9/10 - the sauce that came with it was delish! The bang bang rice bowl was pretty good. I will be asking for no green beans next time, it was way too many. 7/10. The Bento was alright. Lacked some flavor. The Gyoza that came along with it was good! Over all it was a 7/10. I look forward to trying to different rolls next time! read more

This is the second time that I have eaten here. While I got the hibachi steak and shrimp last time, I decided to try the sushi. It did NOT disappoint!! The Godzilla roll was incredible. I will probably get that every time I go there from now on! The service was great as always, super attentive. I love how cozy this restaurant seems. It's kind of dimly lit, which I love! read more

Excellent service, the chicken Bento box was superb, and the gluten-free options, besides being perfectly delicious, were in fact gluten-free. We were surprised by the high quality of the food and service only because the location is a little out of the way, though quite convenient to our neighborhood. read more

We order to go weekly. I love their Hwy 9 and the Tempura California Roll- both always arrive hot and are so good. The noodles we got for our toddler and she loved them. They had an unexpected but delicious taste. When we dine in the staff is always friendly and attentive. read more

Very unhappy with the service I received at this location. I ordered 2 sushi rolls a mama roll (minus the crawfish) and a special called the sunrise roll. The mama roll was delicious, however the sunrise roll was not good. I disliked the combination of ingredients. I asked the server to explain it and she had to go look on the specials board because she had no idea. She had a very strong accent and it was difficult to understand the ingredients. I ordered it anyway. (My mistake). It was gross! The flavors did not go together in my opinion. Anyway, I tried 1 piece and pushed it away. I told 3 different employees that I wasn't eating it and didn't like it. One asked me if I wanted something else instead and I said "yes, if that's possible." She said let me ask..well she didn't come back until she brought the check. She charged me for both. She said "she explained it to you, right?" I told her I didn't understand her and she said nothing! She was argumentative with attitude. Plus the server I ordered from never came back to table. I paid over $41 for 1 sushi roll, edamame and a tea that I ate, and the 1 piece of 9 of the gross sunrise roll. The language barrier, poor knowledge of product, and extremely poor customer service is why I will never go back. Diners beware!! read more

Great food. Great service. Great atmosphere. Great workers. Great restaurant. Great sushi. Great service.

If you want quick and very good Asian style cuisine. Look no further. Great service. Great ambiance. Great food.

When we picked up our take-out order the restaurant smelled like a deep fryer with oil that's been in there for a while (this is my opinion as someone who enjoys cooking). Not a good sign for a Japanese restaurant. The pieces of the chicken in the bento box were dry and gristly; the deep fried, greasy "gyoza" dumplings consisted of a wonton wrapper with skimpy filling. The sushi rolls were nasty. One roll was mostly white rice and had NO flavor. I suppose that's what the side of watery sriracha mayo was for - to give the log of white rice some flavor. I was afraid to finish the other roll because the fish on top of the roll smelled bad. It was NOT fresh. The Yelpers writing these 4 and 5 star reviews must not be familiar with good Japanese food because Konnichiwa is anything but... read more

I ordered online which was quick and easy. I had the Highway 9 roll and a side of hibachi chicken and both were delicious!

This was a nice place. We all had bowls and it was a generous helping for the money. My son and I had the chicken bowl and my wife had the bang bang chicken bowl. It was all very tasty and the staff was very friendly. We plan on coming again or getting it to go. read more
