28 Best Sushi Bars near West Columbia

“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!“

“Wonderful! Lowkey, casual spot with delicious food. We had sushi and boba milk tea. The $5 sushi specials far exceeded expectations! And other sushi rolls were also delicious! We will keep this in our list for when we travel between here and the coast.“

“Birthday celebration for my wife at MGrille could not have been better!

We held a celebration for my wife’s 75th birthday at MGrille, with about 30 friends. Michelle Wang was wonderful for us to work with in designing the menu and arranging the venue. The food was everything we could have hoped for, Michelle made special accommodations for vegetarians and everything was delicious. The food was kept warm in chafing dishes during the first hour of the party, while we mingled and chatted. When the group was ready to eat, the tops of the chafing dished were removed and folks filled their plates … the food was delicious and perfect for serving. Everyone commented about how great the food was, the two cocktails we picked out for the party were enthusiastically enjoyed and there were also three choices for nonalcoholic drinks. We also greatly appreciate Michelle’s wonderful staff for the party - Leo, Kyle, Payton and Frank, thanks again! The venue was comfortable and generously sized. The baby grand piano was great for the occasion (and thank you to Bert Ligon, a delightful pianist). We are so thankful to Michelle for making this important milestone celebration so perfect, easy for us and special! 👏🥂“

“We travel on the road helping animal rescues in the south get their dogs and cats north. When we come home this is our GO TO place!!!“

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

“Great service getting my Buddhist bowl and friends shrimp bowl prepared to our liking!!! And SO delicious!“

“In town for a baseball series and found this gem to take my son, who loves sushi. The ambience was great, from the music, to the decor and the waitress dressed in a kimono. She was very attentive and charming. Loved that the meal started off with tea! My husband who is kind of a sushi snob and likes his place, also said it was good, so it must have been. I had shrimp teriyaki and it was very good. When in town again, I would definitely go back. Highly recommend.“

“Awesome service. Nice friendly servers. Amazing food!!!“

“Sumo Sushi & Hibachi was recommended to me by a local while I was in the area. I was thoroughly impressed. Small space in a little strip in front of the Walmart, with limited seating for dining but still can hold about 20-30 people.
I ordered to go and was very easy to place. The clerk kept me informed. Did have to wait a little bit, but that was expected as they were busy. However, they were completing orders at a good pace.
I ordered a steak/shrimp/chicken hibachi plate and a sushi roll. The sushi was very good and fresh 10 out of 10 would recommend. I give the hibachi plate a 4.5 out of 5. The chicken and shrimp were cooked perfectly, steak was a little overcooked but still had good flavor. The rice was seasoned perfectly!
Great job everyone working here!“

“Our group was big (9) so the wait was longer. It was packed and busy! But I love their variety of drinks options- and food omg. I honestly didn’t expect much… for an Asian fusion place.. but the spicy pho, pho, and ramens were all good. HUGE portion it almost got us falling asleep.. rainbow roll was not bad. We all enjoyed our food and drinks.“

“real good food and service“

“Frank was amazing. Very friendly and high energy. We came at 9:15 and were the only ones seating in the hibachi area. He came out and gave a show like it was a full room. Very friendly and not too much. Allowed us space to talk and enjoy dinner as well. He made our night. Food was amazing and fresh. Tried this different style of noodles and was pleasantly surprised.“

“One of Best spots in Columbia. Great service and food.“

“Love the restaurant there food is amazing cooked how I like it , has amazing workers and very friendly ❤️ always clean every time I come in there . They greet you and ask you how your day been 10 out of 10 definitely will come back 💯“

“The atmosphere was electric very beautiful! The food phenomenonal with fresh ingredients and favorful! The chef on point. I ordered the shrimp and ribeye cook to perfection. The soup and salad with ginger dressing was very refreshing. The cost is reasonable. Everyone was very professional and knowledgeable. Thanks for all you do!“

“Tokyo Grill is a great spot if you’re craving hibachi-style food without the higher price of a full sit-down experience 🔥 The food was fresh, flavorful, and definitely hit the spot. While it’s not the same as those traditional hibachi restaurants where they cook right in front of you, it still delivers on taste and portion size.

Honestly, for the price, it’s hard to beat. You get a really satisfying meal that feels like a treat without spending a ton. Perfect for a quick lunch or casual dinner when you want something delicious and filling 👍🍜“

“Don't let the building deter you, I love Chinese and id say this one ranks highly on my buffet list. The black pepper chicken was sweet savory, perfect blend. The teriyaki chicken has hoison sauce in it. And the hibachi fried rice, so good! The sushi was also perfect and amazing, im rather picky about my sushi, but they nailed it, never had one so good at a buffet. Great people great food!“

“I have been to several different locations. This was my first time going to this location. They had a drive thru which really intrigued me.i ordered my food through the drive through. I ordered the chicken and shrimp teriyaki. It came which vegetables and fried rice. The chicken was very flavorful drenched in teriyaki sauce. It was fresh.the shrimp was really good. Steamed with flavor. The vegetables were fresh aswell from zucchini to broccoli. It literally took me five minutes to get my food. I was happy about that being that i went through drive thru i anticipated a longer wait time. The overall experience was good. I can’t wait to go back and order from them again. Due to their speedy service and fresh food items. The meal also came with 2 white sauces. The silverware was in the bag so i didn’t have to ask for any additional items. Can’t wait to go back“

“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“

“I had an amazing experience at this restaurant the other night, the servers were great and on point. The place was extremely cheap for what they offered, 100% recommend for party because they have special dinning areas dedicated for parties. Overall it was nice dinning there would go again.“
