13 Best Japanese Restaurants near Irmo

“Been to the restaurant 3+ times. First time on Mother's day. Place is nice and spacious. Parking lot is large. The staff is so good, attentive, knowledgeable even on the busy day of a holiday. Menu choices are abundant and you can ask and to modify some of your choices. You can also order takeout. Highly recommend.“

Our server added a complimentary fried ice cream with a birthday candle. I highly recommend, and I am a KAREN when it comes to high recommendations.“

“This is the best sushi around. I have been going to Inakaya Watanabe for 20 years and it’s always that best.“

“real good food and service“

“Delicious so much food always have some to take home“

“I come here often and love the Hibachi Steak entre. While the area for takeout food can get a little crowded sometimes, there is nothing stopping you from sitting close by in an empty table seat. Prices are reasonable for what you get here.“

“What! As a patron way back in the Food Lion strip mall days, this was hands down the best buffet in town, & sad when they closed. I watched when they broke ground on this new location. I couldn't be the first to enjoy since now I have an autistic child of habit, new isn't easy for us. Using my Super Mama powers, we went for lunch on his birthday in January. I do not have enough room on here to describe the ambiance, cleanliness, kindness, etc... Lucas & I will NOT EVER eat out anywhere else, not even fast food joints kids are attracted to. You get your own hibachi chef, sushi buffet with chef, "traditional" American foods, full salad bar, bars full of Chinese & Chinese-American foods, soups, desserts, superior service, a really undescribable without experiencing for yourself just daily lunch. So much deliciousness to even attempt to enjoy in a 2-hour visit for the price of chicken nuggets, fries, drink, & shake at fast food joints! If the lunch is mind (gut) blowing, supper must be out of this world! Soon. I have to judge many places by staff because of my son, who not only rolled out the red carpet for him/us, but innumerable amounts of other-abled folks, which is important to me. I have traveled & eaten at many places. I now have built-in ADA EYE. My eyes have never, ever, laid eyes on wait staff, or owners, who help a blind person or someone in a wheelchair get tabled and then helped with food selections, plating, and seated to enjoy. Care, respect, not enough words for this either. I have heard the owners waited 15+ years, raising $1,000,000 to create a dream for themselves and their patrons. Where in Columbia, Lexington, Orangeburg, Sumter, Charlotte, Augusta, Greenville, Charleston, Atlanta, and so on, can you get the same? Send me a Gmail & we will talk! Prove me wrong, I will buy your supper & eat a plate of octupi!“

“My daughter and I moved to sant Andrews and their is a Tokyo grill by us very close but...

“Best Japanese restaurant in Columbia. Food and service was AMAZING! All of the staff clearly works so hard. Our server had multiple large tables and still kept up the amazing service although extremely busy. The atmosphere is great and food was even better. No complaints. 10/10“

“Tsunami is a good restaurant with a fairly large menu. There are various unique sushi role choices and other options (such as noodles and chicken) for anyone not wanting sushi. The food was good (and well priced) and our waiter was nice, but the food took a substantial amount of time to arrive to the table. Also, we made a reservation, and showed up exactly on time, however, we still had to wait 10 minutes to be seated. Sometimes parking can be a hassle since Tsunami shares a lot with multiple other businesses, but if you loop around a time or two, a spot will usually open up.“

“Ordered delivery early today. It was fast and food was still hot when it arrived. Great portions. Rice was plain but still good. Vegetables were cooked perfectly. Recommended!!

Kid-friendliness: Great kids menu. Good options“
