I've visited another Konnichiwa location before, but this Lexington, South Carolina location is…read morestill a win for me. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted warmly, and the service throughout the meal was attentive without being overbearing. The food absolutely delivered. The Red Lobster Roll and the Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice are at the top of my list--fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. Everything came out in a timely manner and tasted just as good as it looked. Overall, great atmosphere, excellent service, and consistently delicious food. I'll definitely be back!

The actual location is very vibrant with an open floor plan that allows a lot of light ...now with the food ... I'll start by saying whoever made the sweet t needs a raise .... The menu is a lot but a good type of a lot with many choices. I ended up getting the Mr. ALLI-G Roll and the Red Snapper Bowl. Well welll well ... yelp family this Alli-G Roll we better than expected lol ... fried to perfection. Also the gator wasn't over cooked ... you can tell the preparers take their time and every dish has a different touch of excellence. Now for the Snapper Bowl .... I highly recommend ... the food bowl was delivered and I could still se the steam which I loved ... all the veggies were fresh fresh you could taste it. The snapper was amazing also. This spot leaves the extra seasoning up to you ... BUT your table has a bottle of yum yum sauce and you don't have to keep asking. Most importantly they are not stingy on the portions. I had half of my sushi rolls left and half of my bowl. Kudos to the staff also with the recommendations and setting the expectation of the dishes. They also worked as a team ... one waiter didn't see our drinks on the table and immediately asked if we put our order in. This was def worth the 35 min drive from the other side of town be sure to check them out. And another round of applause for the staff. I'll be back SOON .

From the moment we pulled up, the exterior set the tone -- very clean and inviting. Even with the Friday night rush, the hostess was warm and welcoming and got us seated quickly and efficiently, which we really appreciated. Our waitress was outstanding. She was attentive without being overbearing, checked on us consistently, and helped guide us through the menu with great recommendations. We started with the lobster spring rolls and a salmon roll. The spring rolls were crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and packed with large chunks of lobster -- not skimpy at all. The salmon roll was some of the freshest sushi I've had in a long time. For my entrée, I ordered the walnut shrimp. The shrimp were gigantic, perfectly cooked, and the sauce was so good I literally slapped the table. No shame. We will absolutely be back. If you're looking for great Asian fusion with excellent service and fresh ingredients, Antai delivers.

Ok.. not going to lie. Im very jaded when it comes to raamen. Raamen is supposed to be a cheap…read moreand tasty quick meal but depending what goes in it, can wrack up the price. One thing that immediately stood out to me is they are called Hokkaido raamen, but dont have Hokkaido raamen (Hokkaido raamen tends to be buttery with seafood.. but there are many variations). The pros: very friendly staff that didnt charge me extra for a sprinkle of cilantro. Clean place and well presented food. The cons: noodles are way too soggy. Good raamen needs to be much firmer. The chashu (por) for the price of the dish should have been the size of my fist, but was more the size of a couple thin slices of Canadian bacon. The temperature was also luke warm. Ramen needs to be hot hot hot (forgivable though because I imagine a lawsuit if it b was served as its supposed to be) Overall: way too over priced for what it is. I would say this is a $7 bowl of raamen. Don't get me wrong... it was tasty... but heavily price gouged. Alas.. this is kind of par for course for raamen stateside. I might go here once or twice a year... its like having a fast food burger that costs 20$.. the burger may be great but the price drains the flavor.

This is a very popular lunch spot on main street in Lexington, SC. We visited this Japanese…read morerestaurant a few weeks ago, because they offer sushi, tacos, and margaritas. It has both indoor and outdoor seating. They have a full bar as well along with large TVs, so this is a great spot to enjoy a sports/game day. Upon entering, we were quickly greeted by a friendly staff member. Their menu is short and simple, which made it very easy to decide on what we wanted to order.

The hostess was also very friendly, greeting us when we came in and again when we were leaving. Our server was Jasmin, and unfortunately she didn't seem very friendly. She placed our bowls of soup out of reach, rarely refilled our drinks (only once, and that was because another server was filling them), and never checked in with us. When we asked questions, she seemed distracted and was looking behind us rather than engaging with us. When she brought the to-go boxes, she held them behind us instead of placing them in front of us. We were honestly thankful that another server stepped in to help, because we felt like we were inconveniencing Jasmin. I just wish we had cash so we could have tipped the cook and the other server separately.

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.

But immediately the service that the waitress informed us that they do not serve on Sundays, which must be new to us because we have always been here on Sundays and been able to do cocktails not only that the food was not the best not as fresh at all. Also, the waitress seemed to be very forgetful, even though we were literally one of four tables, it was 3 PM totally not busy at all. She must be too busy with her personal life or on her phone in the back room to attend and do her job properly. I rarely leave reviews like this, but I will never be coming here again. The owner or manager should really be more present and attentive as to how the servers speak to and communicate to PAYING customers. PAYING customers are literally how we fund your business! Don't forget that. RAY was our servers name. She was sweet enough but absolutely should NOT be a waitress or server anywhere. She really needs to look for a job that she's more qualified for. I was a server and bartender for over 10 years. It is really not that hard to get things right especially when you have four tables to attend to and that's it. This is the last straw. I told everyone in the restaurant never come back here sorry that I made a scene, but I highly recommend going to konnichiwa up the street. I promise you if this place does not reply or change it's ways I will recommend every single person coming in this is to rethink and drive half a mile to konnichiwa which is far better fresher and not frozen or rotted tasting food.
