  Such a special place and unique experience. The front had a great buzz and the back covered patio was quieter, had great service and a beautiful open air component. Go for the short rib skewers and you won’t be disappointed. Duck meatball skewers were a close second. The staff were so kind and took great pride in their food and drink, a sure sign of a wonderful place. We can’t wait to go back.

  Came here as our last stop 2 nights in a row on vacation. Amazing cocktails and small plates. We really enjoyed the miso caramel ice cream and ribs.

  Stop looking at reviews, stop thinking about it and just go. Matter of fact just stop reading this review go back book your reso and then come back.. I’ll wait. This place is phenomenal! Hands down top 5 restaurants in Charleston and one of my top all time. Maya who?!? Sorry Maya but you will not be missed. I did not have high expectations walking in and hadn’t really heard much about this place but man oh man did they deliver! Service superb, food exceptional, cocktails elevated, I brought my own company and she’s always a 10/10. Even the bathrooms in this place smelled good. We tried a bit of everything, allergies including a tree nut one wasn’t an issue at all. We ended up getting the wrong cocktail at first and thank you Bob Ross for that happy little mistake because that I shishito you not cocktail was awesome! The yuzu-al suspect also a winner! They also do a sake flight which was a great mix and included cowboy Yamahai which I always enjoy. You have to get the edamame, best I’ve ever had anywhere. The skewers were great the hand rolls even better, small plates large plates they didn’t miss. Then dessert was an ode to Mcdonadls baked apple pie! Shut the front door! Chef Masa’s throw back to my childhood and his own in an elevated way was truly icing on the cake. Yes I walked over and clapped for the kitchen it was excellent! Charlie stopped by and we had a nice chat, Curtis or Chris our server..I kept saying it wrong, was excellent, his suggestions were great and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience on a random Wednesday night. 10/10 Highly recommended and James Beard worthy.
