“I just wanna hands down give this restaurant the best review I can give because they absolutely deserve it. I work as a chef downtown here and I’ve never had such a welcoming atmosphere. My daughter had turned 15th today and had to put together last minute plans because I worked today and they really helped with the celebration. Desserts were utterly tasteful and Sophia was an amazing server, even had everyone in the restaurant sign a birthday card for Ameriana’s bday, I can’t thank you enough for your hospitality. I will definitely be coming back soon! Happy New Years!!!!!“

“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!“

“Jaings Kitchen is the best on james Island hands down. It used to be called Tokyo Express and it was the only place we would order. They rebranded it to Jaing’s Kitchen but the food is still as good as it has always been, maybe even better now. The food is fresh and flavorful and just the perfect takeout idea that brought you here to this google review. Enjoy!“
