11 Best Japanese Restaurants in North Charleston

“Why Are Yall Sleeping On The Best Habatchi in town? The sushi here is phenomenal but that filet mignon steak is out of this world. We have always gotten the very best chiefs and the staff go out of their way to make sure you have everything you need. Well worth the drive.“

“This place has an incredible variety of ramen options… beef, chicken, pork, and vegetarian.

We had the Spicy Tonkotsu Ramen, which had delicious pork broth, a whole seasoned egg, and a unique add of crispy onion and kimchi. We also had the Classic Tonkotsu Ramen which was equally great. We usually go for edamame to start with, but we went with the spicy cucumber salad. It was delicious and packed a punch.

This was our second time here, Patience was our server. She is lovely, friendly, and attentive.“

“Of all the times I've been to this location, they've always gotten my orders right and never had issues. I've made it a habit to stop by and grab a plate when I'm in the area; combined with the mall setting, it's just a nice way to unwind with some good food--

Am I an advocate for mall food? Maybe, but it's a good experience all around. Cheers. 🤙“

“Really good food, chill atmosphere, good portion sizes.“

“Our favorite spit in Charleston when we visit!“

“This place has been here since the early 2000's, it used to be called seasons of Japan and I imagine changed names, rebranded, or ownership. But I've been getting the same thing everything I go for years!! Large chicken bowl, enough said. Thanks for staying open and surviving as for some reason there's loads of Asian places that popped up next to them...I don't understand it but you have options!“

“Fern, the owner was so amazing, kind and generous. The food was absolutely delicious on every level…savory, sweet, spicy - BURSTING with flavor. Go there today, you won’t regret it. Thanks Fern!“

“I normally visit this place when I'm in town working. If you're getting the steak make sure you ask for a medium. It's always overcooked a little tough but the food is great otherwise it is edible. The prices are not bad and it's always cooked to Fresh. I just always forget to ask for it medium so therefore it won't bite me back when I try to eat it“

“The food is delicious and they give us a big amount each time. So much that Id need to take left overs home. The soups and salads are delicious. I dislike the hibachi room because its very dark and smokey. I wanted to move back to the main room.“

“Ever since the Chinese Express on Old Trolley went completely down hill Yummy Yummy has become my main place for Chinese takeout and they did not disappoint. The only issue I have is they don’t have any combo meals. You have to get a full container of rice and sesame chicken, which isn’t what someone always want to purchase“
