I live in Summerville, SC and visit family in WV for the holidays. I drive about 2 hours our of my way to go back to Clover, where I once lived, just to get these sweet carrots. The chicken and steak are good, but those carrots are amazing. I always order a big container of them to take with me. If they ever go out of business I will worry that I'll never have those sweet carrots again.
Very pleasantly surprised by this restaurant. It is fast food Japanese, but a good value for what you get! My husband and I both got hibachi plates (him chicken and shrimp, me shrimp). Actual shrimp, not baby shrimp. I also got sushi. Enjoyed it so much I bought more on the way out for lunch the next day. Fast and friendly service! A little weird that they give you cash to leave for your tip if you charge it, but not a deal breaker.
Great! Wish we had a Kochi in Alabama. AlI of our Japanese restaurants are $100.00+ when eat at them.
I give this place good size portions. The crab rangoons actually had pieces of crab meat and were pretty tasty. (Umm, so there were 6 rangoons, but 3 of them disappeared before I took this picture, lol) I also posted a picture of the receipt) We'll be back.
I was skeptical based on previous reviews, but I gave it a shot and I'm so glad that I did! I placed my order in the drive through around 8pm. Customer service was excellent and the staff taking orders was so friendly. I waited less than 7min to collect my order. My food was hot fresh and absolutely worth the visit. I ordered the chicken and shrimp noodle plate and in comparison to other hibachi take out locations, I received much more protein. This will be my staple hibachi takeout restaurant.
Low key some of the best Japanese I've ever ate.. and its priced cheaper than almost any other sit down japanese restaurants.
It's basically the old sake express from Cherry road in Rock Hill, legacy good quality food! Love the sweet carrots and their shrimp sauce is the best!
Sake is a very good place to try, the shrimp sauce they give you is amazing. The plate size is pretty decent for the price. The drive thru does get pack at times and is better to head inside and order your food.
