16 Best Japanese Restaurants near Powdersville

“Absolutely LOVE Dozo and have since they opened. The sushi is always fresh and we are always treated like family. Yes we miss Mr Mike but the cook at Powdersville is just as good!!! We will continue to support Easley and Powdersville locations for years to come. Do yourself a favor and try the kracken roll. Who knew bacon and sushi went together?!?!?!?“

I've been here several times for to go orders usually made online. I've only had one problem and it was resolved as soon as I brought it up in person. I have noticed several reviews and pictures which are not of the Powdersville location but of the Greenwood location so don't let some of the reviews deture you from trying this location. I don't eat raw fish so I can't comment on the sushi and whatever else like that however the things I have tried have been satisfactory for me. The lady behind the counter may not be the most talkative person but she's always there so no telling how many hours she puts in there in a week. So to sum it up don't rely on all the reviews, just give it a least one try and make your own opinion.“

“This is the perfect casual dine in lunch place or dinner take out. The staff is very friendly, the space is clean, the food is super affordable, and I’ve never had a bad experience with anything there

Parking: Plenty of parking

Kid-friendliness: We come here all the time with the car seat and they are always willing to help us set up a big party with our child. We can be in and out within 30 minutes. The dining area is always very clean.“

“The BEST sushi restaurant in Greenville. Affordable, tasty and fresh. Seriously so good. You could get 3X the food here for the same cost at O-Ku and it’s way better. I love coming here! And they have the sweetest servers!“

“Excellent tasting food and great menu options.“

“First time having actual traditional ramen and it was amazing! Great sushi menu, friendly service and very tasty food!“

“I loved this place, will be back very soon“

“There was enough meat in the Teriyaki chicken but it was lacking in vegetables and also sauce. Tasted more like hibachi than Teriyaki. Also only give 2 tiny white sauce containers & charge for each additional. But taste overall was pretty good.“

“The Malaysian Ramen is amazing!“

“Food is delicious and the service is great“

“Great food and very friendly staff. It was my first time having Poke and it was wonderful!“

“Food and drinks were absolutely amazing.
It was a Friday night in downtown Greenville so I was expecting a slow service night. Our server was hopping but kept up with us ?
Loved the vibe and location.
My only complaint is the minimum group size for reservations is 6. We wanted 4.“

“Great food, drink, hospitality.“

“Absolutely fantastic sushi. Portions are generous too. My new favorite for sushi in Greenville.“

“I moved into The McClaren apts. (awesome place) about 14 months ago and discovered Otto Izakaya early on. Only 2 blocks away for me. Otto is, and has been, my go to place, especially when friends, family or business friends are visiting. Not a sole I have introduced has ever had anything but praises for the experience. If we are a small group, I always encourage dining at the bar. I have no idea who will read this, but people buy from people; and people they enjoy interacting with. I would be totally remiss if I didn't specifically mention bar manager Matt and his team behind the bar. If Matt has ever met a stranger, I missed it, as he has the personality to balance the engagement with customers, while still providing excellent customer service. Also, everything I've tried off the menu is high-grade and fresh! That's a must for me. I'd be slack if I didn't mention the awesome hard working sushi chefs, who are always open to preparing a creation to suit YOUR palate and preferences. As to other regular customers, and just my observation, but like me, they appear to have found a home away from home; a place to be comfortable, chill and let the time spent make a bad day better. I almost never take the time to give a review and especially a compliment; as I sometimes look for the negatives, as it is always so easy to criticize. So, as a native Greenvillian and business (person); and someone who believes and enjoys a five ***** experience that is reasonably priced, give Otto Izakaya a try. Whether you live in the area, or are simply visiting, when you leave you will already be thinking about when you can do this again! If you enjoy an adult beverage, be sure and stop by the bar and ask for Matt, as this master mixologist will want to know exactly what you're looking for. If you read this review and haven't stopped by, you're in for an experience catered to the way you would most enjoy it. And ladies, as I have a daughter in college, so please know whether by yourself, or in a group, you're in a safe place without being hassled and you don't have to look over shoulder (unless there is a stud sitting behind you), because Matt and the supporting staff will have your back so you can relax and enjoy. If you have a chance to meet the owner, please do, as his passion and dedication for excellence in all aspects of the business is instantly captivating. Sorry for the length of this, I was on a roll! No "pun" intended! Give it a try real soon! M.P. 😎“
