Word on the street
What locals are saying
West Ashley's reliable Japanese anchor — the kind of strip-mall spot that earns genuine weekly loyalty on the back of consistently fresh sushi, with the Kamikaze, Sumo, and Skrunch rolls racking up repeat orders and the ginger dressing developing its own small cult. The low-lit room and attentive service let it punch above its surroundings, and the Seppuku spicy tuna roll challenge (ten rolls, escalating heat, a headband for survivors) gives it personality the big-room hibachi chains can't manufacture. Long-timers, though, flag a slide in hibachi consistency — the ribeye in particular draws hard criticism — suggesting the kitchen's strengths sit firmly on the sushi side.
