“Everything here tasted amazing! Very nice and attentive server. I ordered miso soup, salad with ginger dressing and 3 California rolls and all of it was delicious ?! My husband had the Mongolian beef and he loved it . Said it had the right amount of spice to it. We also got fried gyoza and they were so tasty as well. I rate this place 10/10.“
“Great sushi, first visit , parked behind building, liked the waterfall, the buy one get one rolls seemed like a good deal but rolls were a lot smaller than expected, sushi was very fresh though, service was great at first , but a lot slower later , full bar was nice option, hope to be back soon , thank you!“

“I recently visited No 1 Poke Bowl and was blown away by the extraordinary service and the exceptional quality of the food. The staff was incredibly welcoming and attentive, making sure our dining experience was nothing short of perfect.As a parent, I was particularly impressed with the gluten-free options available, which is a huge plus for families like mine with dietary restrictions. My kids absolutely loved the poke bowls, and it was such a relief to find a place that caters to their needs without compromising on taste.The ingredients were fresh, the flavors were vibrant, and the portions were generous. It’s rare to find a spot that ticks all the boxes, but No 1 Poke Bowl does just that. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, this place is a must-try. We’ll definitely be back for more!“
“Exceptional booking for a birthday drink and dinner at Hestia. Very nice view and ambiance.Friendly, attentive staff are always near by for questions and service. They were upfront that our drinks may take a few minutes as the bar was busy and they only had a single, new bartender. This was not a problem and was a good heads up, and let us enjoy our view for a little bit, and we had full glasses of water and a menu to look at.We had 2 drinks, 2 apps, and 2 meals. Everything was exceptional in flavor and freshness. My only suggestion is with the scallop appetizer, it was AMAZING but there is only 1 scallop. I'd much rather see a higher priced option with 3 scallops.They treated us very well for a birthday dinner and we will be back. A+ on the food and service.“
“This has been my go to spot for sushi since I found it less than 2 years ago. I have been over a dozen times and have only been disappointed when I cannot get a table. They do not take reservations, and this is one of the very few restaurants that I feel is worth making the extra effort to come early to get a table. In fact, I’ve been hesitant to write this review for fear of not being able to get a table if they get busier. The fish is fresh and fabulous and the waitstaff is friendly, attentive and knowledgeable. There is an impressive saki list and quite a variety of wines. Recently, they have added a screened outdoor dining area, which I’m told will soon have fans installed. This executive chef is one to watch as his future ventures develop. I’ve now been to his Omakase by Prime Fish in the Cotswold area which is worthy of a Michelin star!Parking: The restaurant is in a Publix shopping center with plenty of parking available.“
“Every single time we dine here we are treated so well. All the servers are very attentive and never seize to impress me how much they know about the cuisine. We are avid sushi eaters from the west coast. We know good sushi. Trust me when I say we savor every bite!“
“This place is awesome. The food is super delicious and the prices are in my opinion adequate. The staff is super friendly and attentive. I love coming to this place, small but comfortable and a hidden gem; reminds me of those hole in a wall spots in New York that only the locals know how good it is.“
“The service here is great, both quick and friendly. The food is authentic and traditional. If you want Japanese food, this is where you get it. The food is reasonably priced, considering how good it tastes. I would definitely recommend as a family experience if you have older kids, as the small building would not accomodate for super loud noise.Dietary restrictions: If you are vegetarian or dairy free, their menu can accommodate for that naturally since a lot of their dishes do not have dairy. Also, since many dishes are rice-based, gluten intolerance may be accommodated for as well. If you have Celiac's though, I'd contact the restaurant since they do have wheat noodles in their ramen and I'm not sure if they have gluten free soy sauce.“
“Best poke bowl in Charlotte, jokes asideI’ve been trying poke bawl / sushi for more then a year everywhere around Charlotte.This place is the best place you’ll find, trust me.I can post many pictures of the food I had here but I’ll show you one with my empty bowl ? because it is so good I finished it before I realized I could have shared with you.Love the customer service, food is simply delicious, atmosphere like home, clean and tidy ?Recommend ????? 5 stars“
“My wife and I saw this place, and our curiosity peaked because it's a buffet.Food was abundant, freshly placed for us to enjoy, the plates are clean, and mostly good food.Im no expert in asian food, but i know the quality is really dependent on what you select. Some things are mass-produced quality, and most things are better quality flavor and presentation.The menu was atraight forward, we ate on friday night and adults can have anything in the restaurant, everything, including crablegs.That's 19$ for all you can eat, drinks are poured by an incredibly swift, polite army of waitstaff.We were not forced to tip automatically. We can choose our tip level; be aware that certain sized parties have a percentage tip included. I'm not sure what size.My overall expectations for an enjoyable buffet is great here. Try it yourself.“
“Absolutely amazing. The server is incredibly friendly and took our order while preparing others. The food came out super fast and was to die for. Superb for mall sushi absolutely Reccomend. If you have 5-10 minutes to spare come enjoy some killer “
“We decided to go to Bahn Thai because we were in the area for some appointments. We walked in and were immediately greeted, we had the choice of where we wanted to sit, and they even have an outdoor area...which in hindsight we wish we would e utilized. The ambiance is great, they have a bar as well which we like. I ordered the Cherry Blossom roll and Spring Rolls for an appetizer. Both were delicious! I then ordered the Red Curry 3 star, the perfect heat for me and the flavors were perfect, My partner ordered the Pad Thai, and it looked delicious as well, he wouldn't share lol. Overall we will be back. Oh and the staff were very friendly and attentive.“
“Masa sushi is my go to place for Chinese food. The rice is always cooked to perfection, the ladies at the front are always courteous and my food is always on time. I gave them a 4 in atmosphere due to the small space. There aren’t many table but it’s okay for me because I only order takeout. Every dish that I’ve tried I loved except for the Lo mein noodles, to me they are too dry. The fried rice is superior to any fried rice I’ve had in the area. Lately, I’ve been getting the honey and sweet&sour chicken. The sauce comes on the side and the chicken pieces are small and crunchy. If you get a combo, it comes with a spring roll or egg roll. The spring roll is crispy with a peppery cabbage filling that pairs well with these sweet and savory dishes.“
“Wonderful sushi and great hot food options. My favorite is Spicy Thai Basil chicken and for sushi I love the Red sake roll as well as the Phoenix roll. The staff is awesome. Have followed Steve and Yisa from Wild East Bistro and happy they are so close by! Give them a try!“
“We had a great time I took my 3 year old twins for the first time and they absolutely loved the fire ??? staff is friendly and the chef was very engaging with the kids. We’ll be back soonKid-friendliness: Chef is very engaging with the kids“
“One poor woman was handling the entire dining room. She did an excellent job, so she’s not to blame. They could have been short staffed. The sushi was delicious. The sesame entree was heavily coated in a thick syrup that drowned the main feature and had no semblance of “brown sauce” as identified in the menu, but instead a sweet and sour type sauce that just wasn’t appealing. The pad Thai was just so so with a very bland base, but worse was the burnt sesame oil flavor that permeated throughout the dish. We would likely return for the sushi alone.“
“After a 10+ year pause on Japanese steakhouses, we had a large party here for my son’s birthday. He and his friends really enjoyed the dinner. My husband and I sat at the sushi bar and ate some rolls and edamame.The atmosphere was dark and a light smoke hung in the air. This might be unavoidable with the fire and steam as part of the show, but it did bother me. They do have large fans over the cooking areas. It was very crowded also, but on a Saturday night this is probably to be expected.The hibachi diners reported the food was excellent. We didn’t realize they were going to mix the food orders and give everyone some of each others orders. My son is significantly allergic to shrimp and began coughing and sneezing and his throat tightened as soon as he started eating. He ordered steak but some shrimp was put on his plate. He didn’t eat it, but shrimp must have touched his food somehow. It would be best if the waiter asked about food allergies at the time of ordering and took careful precautions. It could be an extremely dangerous mistake to make.“
“Daughter always wants hibachi for her birthday. We had always gone to Japan 49 but, for whatever reason they have closed. Thankfully, we found this spot and it did not disappoint. Only thing I would change is to put a note somewhere either on the menu or door that gratuity is included based on party size. It wasn't a problem for me but I can see where some people would get upset about it.Will definitely be back.“

“Had the best service on our trip tonight.We were able to walk right in at 6:30pm and be sat with 4 in our group. Our server was Myrosyvana (not sure on spelling) and she was very attentive. Our Chef (Isa- not sure on the spelling) cooked everything perfectly and was entertaining.We'll be back!!“
“I’ve had a pleasure of visiting many hibachi restaurants over the years. This one is huge and did not know this was in Rock Hill. It has lots of tables, great decor, amazing service and delicious food! Don’t let this hidden gem go without visiting with friends and family. Very clean environment and loved my experience.“

“I love this place so very much. Over the last several years since they have opened, they've maintained good quality food, good service, and quick order turnaround times. All this even whey they are busy which is most of the time due to the listed reasons. I love sushi, but it's one of those cusines that can add up quickly, especially if you have a large appetite like I do. Due to the fact that here, you can eat as much as you want for one fair price, it makes indulging on my favorite food possible without spending $100. Thank you Mr. Tokyo for existing!Vegetarian options: Salads and soups have no meat, and you can also modify rolls to not have fish.Parking: There's always spaces available.“

“Finally! Delicious hibachi in Charlotte. The sauces were really fresh and flavorful, all the vegetables had a great taste and texture, and the meat was tender. I ordered a medium, rare, filet mignon, and it was prepared more on the rare side. I thought that fifty two dollars for one entrée with one veggie roll was pretty steep pricing for takeout. The portion size were reasonable, but not large, and hibachi includes fried rice, but not noodles. Would definitely return for the flavor, less jazzed about the pricing.“
“First time at Konnichiwa, so we decided to try a few different menu items. Let's just say everything was great. Billy, our server, was spot on with his recommendations, on top of what we normally order when having sushi. Speaking of our server. Billy was awesome, attentive, and always friendly. The ambiance is nothing special. Which is fine by us, but for those expecting/ wanting scenic views, this is not the place. You come here for the food and service. We will be back.“
