What locals are saying
Jackrabbit Filly is widely regarded as one of the standout dining destinations in the Charleston area — a heritage-driven New Chinese American restaurant helmed by Top Chef finalist Shuai Wang and his wife Corrie, rooted in Park Circle's neighborhood dining scene since their food truck days in 2014. Regulars rave about dishes like the karaage, dumplings, and rotating seasonal menu, and appreciate the local-sourcing ethos and creative cocktails; however, some critics note that small, pricey portions and occasionally overlapping bold flavors can leave diners wanting more. A handful of reviewers also flagged that the experience at their previous King St. location felt stronger than more recent visits.
On socials
Posts and comments almost universally crown the Sichuan hot karaage and potato-and-leek dumplings as the must-orders — one TikTok caption literally calls them '>>' and says it's 'the best restaurant I've been to in the area in a while.' The fish tartare served with garlic bread is a recurring food-blog rave ('everyone's favorite dish'), and creators consistently tell followers to bring a group and share everything. The vibe gets called out as a lively date-night and Park Circle destination worth the drive from the peninsula; reserve ahead or expect a wait. A small minority flag that big bold flavors can start to blur together across multiple dishes, and a few mention occasional food-quality inconsistency.
