Once she arrived she took our drink orders and after waiting so long we were ready to place our order. I point this out because people seated after us not only placed their drink order but received their drinks before we were even greeted. We waited an additional 20 ish minutes to receive our drinks. I had to find someone to follow up on our orders. It was very disappointing, especially for the price point! We all go to hibachi for the "fun," "show," and "experience." Sadly it didn't deliver. It was a bit MEH. The food was good, but that's kinda it. One positive is that if you bring a cake they will store it in the fridge until your meal is over. I'm not sure that we will return. There are other establishments that we may try next time.

To be honest friends, I don't know how I haven't reviewed this place before. This is one of my…read morestaples 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!)

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!

After filling my bowl, I handed it over to the chef and went back to my table where a cooked dish was later served. We also tried the Tuna Naruto Roll which included crab, cucumber, avocado, and tuna, and a special requested addition of avocado and eel sauce.

Not a huge fan! I love the concept but the execution doesn't work for me. In some cases it can…read morefeel like a money grab. Ok, so they charge a waste fee of when you order too much. I completely understand this. But I asked about ordering one entree and if the entree isn't finished, you still pay a waste fee, but then you can take it home. That didn't sit well with me. Ordering one entree isn't being wasteful. You just might not finish it. But anyway, I didn't order an entree. I ordered spring rolls, and a few sushi rolls. The two spring rolls were good. The sushi is so small. Most were really dry. I wouldn't return. But my friend definitely enjoyed herself. The atmosphere is really nice and the establishment was clean. Our waitress was extremely attentive but wasn't very knowledgeable on the menu. Try them out for yourself!

Also comparable in price to other sit down sushi restaurants in the area. Highly recommend.

The pricing was also very reasonable for the quality, so overall it felt like great value for the money. The only disappointing part was the service. The server who attended to us did not seem very welcoming or enthusiastic, and the overall attitude felt rather cold. When we asked for extra ginger and sauce, he also seemed somewhat unwilling, which made the experience less comfortable. Overall, the food itself was excellent and definitely worth coming back for, but I do think the service attitude and professionalism of the staff could be improved.

It is still the best sushi bar in the Southeast. They have the largest variety of fresh fish and…read moreother seafood, but they also make traditional chicken and steaks. The owner / chef Ryo takes care in what he's making and shows great pride in his finished product and it tastes great too. He gets fish that other restaurants do not have access to or have chosen not to purchase. I have seen flying fish, jellyfish, fresh Cobia, fresh Spanish mackerel, live clams and scallops and other seafood that you cannot obtain anywhere else. If you are looking for the best sushi in the area, you don't need to go anywhere else. You can go anywhere and buy a California roll but that is really not what I would consider sushi that's like going to Ruth Chris steakhouse and ordering a hot hot dog.

The fact that I'm the only Asian customer at this place says it all…read more I ordered Inakaya Fried Chicken, which is a split bone chicken wing per their menu. I was given chicken nuggets and told they don't have chicken wings... Glad I found their menu online to prove I wasn't crazy. Everything is either overcooked, dry, or super salty. No idea why this place was even packed. Sushi rice was dry. The chicken nugget thing mentioned above was overly dry and salty. Tonkotsu Ramen was overcooked. Either they chose the wrong type of noodle or let it sit forever before serving it. The two slices of meat that came with the ramen was maybe from pork chop meat? Usually it's made with cha shew meat or pork belly. Two super lean and dry slices of meat made the bowl look like a joke. The noodle was salty enough that I don't even want to try the broth. Edamame was okay. Other than the fact that they don't look appetizing, the shell was brownish and many bean pockets (if you know what I was trying to say) were empty, that's probably the best dish on the table. If you want sushi or ramen or anything that's on their menu, do yourself a favor and please try to find it somewhere else.

It is what I imagine a small Japanese market might be like (I have never been to Japan, so I wouldn't know for certain). There a great selection of Japanese snacks, drinks, and food items.

The portion sizes are filling; I do wish it included a bit more of the side vegetables (carrots and broccoli). I believe you get great value for your money, which is a huge plus these days.
