“Excellent restaurant. We've been coming here occasionally for years now. Prices are fair, and portions are good for the value. Most important and impressive is the *consistency* of the food quality. It is delicious, and it never seems to vary. Truly well done...cheers!“

“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!“

“i’m normally reluctant to getting mall court food cause i usually think it’s been sitting out for a while. but Sarku chicken and rice with steam veggies blew me away. i ordered via door dash. first the chicken and rice was fresh as was the steamed veggies. their food must turn over meaning a lot of people must be going there cause it was super fresh. the spring and chicken rolls were yummy as well. i do wish they had an option to buy more teriyaki sauce on the dash app cause it was really good. but that was a minor issue overall really good and more so healthy will order again.“

“very fresh. you order then they make it. àll you can eat anything you like as much as you like.. lunch price is less than dinner. but same menu. Love it there! nice decor. comfy seating. friendly attentive staff.“

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

“Me and my family were coming from a graduation and we were first to arrive as soon as the restaurant opened. We were a party of 20. Our waitress was Summer and she was definitely a ray of sunshine. Summer was very patient as we decided what we wanted to eat . She offered suggestions from the menu and she was mindful of the people with shellfish allergies and vegans in the party. The food was pretty good too. The prices were good and the food was plentiful . I ate leftovers for 3days“

“This food is BUSSIN. Came here with my kids and we enjoyed a feast! Got 2 hibachi steaks, 2 teriyaki chickens, an eggroll, and an order of gyoza, everything was amazing. I would say the meat is slightly under seasoned, but i fixed up my own plate with a little dash of salt. Highly recommend, food came out fast and was cooked great! Will absolutely be revisting from augusta!!!“

“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“

“Great hibachi style meals to go. Chicken teriyaki is plenty good, with rice, zucchini and onions. It comes with one yum yum sauce, but I spend the extra for a second sauce cup. I've had a steak bowl that's also got tasty square chunks of steak in it but comes without vegetables. Really can't go wrong here. Repeat customer.“
