26 Best Sushi Bars in Charleston

“Just absolutely AMAZING!!!!!! I may have eaten three of the Wagyu rolls. We had awesome Sake! Kazuyuki and Chris know their stuff, pay attention to every detail and take the time to talk to their patrons. Maybe the best food in Charleston. Can’t wait to go back in a couple weeks!!“

“The best, freshest seafood! Best fish taco i ever put in my mouth. And love the atmosphere!“

“absolute best sushi and sashimi I've ever had“

“I visited this restaurant for the first time on a weekday in May 2025, and had lunch. It was superb! Delicious food, good service, good music, and a very attractive interior..... and this little storefront eatery is located right there on fashionable King Street. I highly recommend Fuji Sushi on Upper King.“

“My mom took me here after eating two slices of pizza and I was already full until my sister ordered me California rolls and I still ate it because it’s the best! I love it! From 6-year-old Lil Boy you gotta take my words! 😂😍❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹 This js the mother reviewing now, lol My daughter ordered Tuna Belly sushi and she said it was phenomenal! The tuna was very fresh and tasty. I highly recommend it! My daughter says we are coming back. We even ordered To Go rolls. 😁 The service is excellent! We love it!!!!“

“Came here to dine in after a positive togo experience. They are an Asian fusion restaurant which I am a bit reluctant about sometimes because I question how well they can execute that many different cuisines. (Vietnamese, Chinese, Japanese…)
In my mind, do I pick ramen or pad Thai? Pho or sushi?
Also my husband has celiac, so we asked the server and she gave us several options.

So we went with miso tum yum because I like both those flavors so why not. Flavorful, tangy, savory and not too spicy.

Green curry, 5/5. Delicious, perfect level of spice, creamy but not too thick, flavors were on point.

Drunken noodles - now idk if this is was because we asked for it to be GF, it did lack that depth of flavor that were used to with these noodles. It had a stronger garlic flavor (which I do enjoy) but not what drunken noodles taste like. I asked for it to be spicier and there was no spice at all, so I added more chili flakes, oil and sriracha. 4/5

Yellowtail hamachi sushi roll was nice and clean, spring rolls were standard as well.

Staff were very friendly and accommodating.
Interested in trying the ramen and pho next time.

Dietary restrictions: GF options“

“Incredible food, the crab tango on were so fresh, the ramen had incredible flavor and spice, and everyone was so friendly. Highly recommended!

Dietary restrictions: GF options, and the food is all fresh so they'll do what it takes for you to enjoy while eating safely.“

“We come to Kiawah Island for many years. One of our high high Lights is dining at Aji. We are from New Jersey and had the pleasure of having dined with on the delicacies created by Tim at our local sushi restaurant and are jealous that folks in Charleston have access to this great restaurant. We look forward to returning later in the year.“

“Awesome Place! Great Sushi!!“

“Lunch is $16.99 and dinner is $26.99.

Update 08/23 I took my wife here today and we were not disappointed. They were busy but our food came out fast. I did order all my food at once since I was on lunch. I had chicken katsu, pot stickers, hibachi chicken, and an orchard roll. The food was hot. All of it came out together within minutes.

Two of the rolls we ordered are half the size they used to be, orchard and sea angel. They were tiny, however, you can order as much as you want.

Old review:
This place is amazing. I went during lunch a few times; I went during dinner twice and was satisfied every single time. No matter lunch or dinner the food is always hot and fresh. The sushi is also made fresh when ordering. The staff is very welcoming and friendly.

You have a paper and pencil on your table which you use to check which food you want which is listed. Then your food is made and brought to your table. I personally like to put a second order in after receiving my food because it takes about 10 minutes for the food to arrive.

I can go on lunch and drink a water for less than $20. However, I leave a $20 bill to include a $3+ tip for the service. Even if you don't eat sushi you can eat hibachi.

The pics feature random sushi rolls, hibachi steak and shrimp, Orchard roll, pork gyoza dumplings, and hibachi chicken (no onions).

Side note: Ice cream and cheesecake are available but not on the list to check, you have to tell the server you want dessert.“

“Great food, totally would recommend for a quick bite to eat, but it does feel like they're rushing you during you dining experience. They place the check on the table 5 minutes after even getting your food. Plus the servers seem clueless of what's going on. But love this place.“

“We've had kanji many times since we live close by. Employees are always nice.
Never had a problem with orders ever!
I love the veggie hibachi. Their rice & their white "yum yum" style sauce is super yummy! Matches my taste buds. Not too sweet. Goes really well with their rice.
Prices are fine in my opinion. Good portions!
We do dine in and take out.

Vegetarian options: Veggie bowls
Sushi without fish“

“The hibachi cooking is fun. There were children at our table.“

“Really good sushi deals and to me the sushi is good, otherwise food is up to your individual taste. Prices are not bad. Their white sauce is watery mayonnaise. Someone must like it but noone I know likes it. Rice is ok, but I don't care for it. Food isn't bad at all, I guess I just compare it to yokoso and I love their rice and stuff. Smaller dine in area, can be hot inside, but i get hot easily so not sure. People are always nice.“

“Great sushi! Great entertainment. We will definitely be back“

“Great food! Great service! She knows our order as soon as we walk in. We eat there almost 5 times weekly. Just feels like home is brought to me when I eat. It's delicious never bad. Definitely worth every person eating here! I love it!

Wheelchair accessibility: Open Floor plan easy mobility for anyone who needs it!“

“Amazing food, atmosphere and staff! Sushi and cocktails were phenomenal!“

“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!“

“My boyfriend and I have made Ichiban Steak House our go-to spot for weekly date nights, and a huge part of that is because of the exceptional service we receive from Koma. Every single visit, Koma goes above and beyond to ensure our experience is nothing short of outstanding. His dedication, professionalism, and hard work are evident in every interaction. attention to detail and warm personality make us feel genuinely welcomed and valued as guests. He consistently delivers top-tier service, anticipating our needs before we even ask, and always with a smile. Whether it’s the way he ensures our drinks are perfectly crafted or how he personalizes our dining experience, his commitment to excellence never goes unnoticed. The food at Ichiban is always delicious, fresh, and beautifully presented.“

“Quickly became my favorite place. I've enjoyed everything I've tried, but I keep going back to the Anna Roll.“

“This is my family’s go to place! We love every single thing we order. They have the most tasteful sushi out of most places! Worth the money spent!“

“The food was absolutely unbelievably good but we are usually not disappointed when you going downtown Charleston South Carolina to have lunch or dinner or even breakfast this place is a must try if you like Thai food“

“Highly recommend this place“

“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.“

“Food, music and alcohol. Enough said.“

“Great quality food, healthy portion, vegetarian options and all within walking distance of our hotel!“
