Word on the street
What locals are saying
Hachiya is a locally-owned West Ashley institution with 30+ years in the lowcountry, earning strong marks for its sushi variety and hibachi entertainment, especially for birthday and group celebrations. However, a meaningful streak of negative reviews — including burnt hibachi meats, overcooked proteins, and rude reservation staff — signals inconsistent execution that frustrates long-time regulars the most. Overall sentiment skews positive (94% recommend on Facebook, 4.4 on TripAdvisor), but quality-control at the hibachi grill is a recurring sore spot.
