“This truly is the best sushi in the southeast. The experience is unmatched. The staff are some of the most accepting, joyful, and hilarious people I've ever met. They accommodated my partner's allergy restrictions beautifully and made her feel accepted on her birthday! I recommend sushi bar to everyone who has the time and the desire to have a five-star experience”

“The food was decent but order was wrong. I ordered 3 sushi rolls, a seaweed salad & chicken fried rice for carry out. Instead of a seaweed salad I got a bowl with iceberg lettuce topped with avocado (house salad maybe?). Instead of the chicken fried rice I received a teriyaki chicken bowl. It all tasted good except I was disappointed in the Angry Dragon Roll I received - it has mango in it but the mango in the roll was so under ripe you couldn’t even tell what it was & it was very hard. I ordered this on a Wednesday night and it was dead inside when I picked it up. If I give them another chance I’ll definitely be checking the order before walking out with it.”

“I have been looking for some Great Hibachi in Charleston since I got here last year…. Hands down this is where it is at! They give great portions and the food is seasoned and cooked to perfection. They have tasty hibachi veggies as well as amazing real sticky rice! I am so happy I decided to stop! Don’t let the non updated appearance fool you. This is definitely a great spot ! Ten ten I would recommend and I definitely will be back again!”

“Bushido has a level of food quality that is consistently and regularly, without fail, always always and forever SO GOOD. Anything I have ever gotten has been delicious, from the first bite to the final licking of my chopsticks just in case I missed anything. Thank you for being so great! I admit I am a bit addicted and get Bushido at least once a week, but why wouldn’t I? Sushi, hibachi, crab Rangoon, you name it, and it will be delicious on a level that you can only comprehend when you try yourself. DO IT!”
