Yokoso Japanese Steakhouse North Charleston - Japanese steakhouse in North Charleston - 8601 S Antler Dr, USA

The place is aging. With no regard to improvement. They dont seem to care. This is not a $20 restaurant. Loads of fat in the meat. The meat is ALWAYS almost burnt. Who eats steak well done? Onion peeling was in my rice. The service seemed like they were more interested in what the football game score was on the TV. Hibachi restaurants used to be awesome! Lots of great food and a great ambiance. It's hard to justify spending $100 on dinner when it's not even mediocre. They just don't care.

Great food. TERRIBLE management at this location. Had a takeout Filet & Chicken entree order, got home to discover there was NO rice and very little steak. Called just to ask if I could do a swap out of what I got and receive the correct order and was called a liar by the manager. Highly suggest never doing a takeout order and only eating in-house.

The people sitting at the table made the night. The food had very little flavor to it and needed more seasoning or sauce. Also, we waited for about 20 minutes for a hibachi table, but the table next to us only had 2 people. Then we waited another hour or so for the food to be cooked and didn't get our order of sushi.

The main reason we had a good experience was because we had a great server. She was very attentive to her tables and ahead of the game when came to bringing drinks and checking in on us. The food wasn't bad for the price I was expecting which was the 20-30$ that is shown on here, however we ended up paying $100 for two people do for that price I can think of a multitude of other places with better quality. We were quoted a 30 minute wait time for the hibachi tables and after 43 minutes they told us it would be another 15-20 minutes do we ended up eating at a table which we could have already been eating at had we been quoted an accurate wait time. I understand how understaffed the industry is these days so this wasn't a huge deal but could be. The other two pointers I have would be to not have a ripped booth in the vestibule, it is the first thing your customers see. Also the lighting and garden out front need attention to make your location attractive to people passing by. Overall the experience was a good one but a little more effort from management would have made it a great one.

Not impressed. I’ll start with the pros: 1: bartender was great. Quick to serve and gave a generous pour. 2: chef was fun and skilled. The food he prepared was delicious. Now for the cons: 1: the soup tasted like dirty dishwater. I informed our waitress and she retorted with a snide remark. 2: I am almost 100% sure our waitress was high. 3: the salad was nothing but old, browning iceberg lettuce drenched in dressing. 4: they didn’t sing happy birthday to my friend whom we were there to celebrate. The standards at this restaurant have fallen severely. Hopefully they will pull it together before they are forced to shut their doors.

Came on my birthrate! Met a group of lovely people who were fun and kind! They paid our tab and Sam just happened to have a beautiful birthday card on her! They all signed it and presented it to me during the pleasant,eventful night! It was so much food we had to take most of it home! Staff, hibachi master was phenomenal! I'm glad Michael chose this place for us to eat!

Good food good service, good atmosphere. Be prepared to wait on the weekends will get crowded. Protip, split a meal with a party member is cheaper then getting your own, still plenty of food.

The teriyaki chicken is to die for. It was delicious. Our chef had worked at the restaurant for 23 years.
