Giving this place the credit it deserves! Just tried it for the for time tonight (take-out).
I got the Volcano roll and the Heat the Night roll.
Holy amazing.
I have been so incredibly let down the last few years by sushi places around Ballantyne/Fort Mill.
They aren’t consistent and it’s just not good.
This is the best sushi I’ve had in years.
Heat the Night was my favorite but both were great.
It’s got a very unique flame torched taste on the salmon.
So so so SO GOOD.
This is my new takeout spot! Editing to add: I’ve eaten here probably 6-7 times since first posting my review.
EVERY time has been CONSISTENTLY amazing.
I cannot say the same for many other sushi spots I used to frequent.
It was always hit or miss and I was HOPING this place would stay consistently good and they have.
I am a mom of toddlers and this sushi is something I seriously look forward to every week.
Heat the night and tsunami are my go-to rolls now.
And my toddlers love the Cali roll. Once again, I thank you for making great sushi!

We were there to have Birthday dinner for my husband.
We sat outside and the ambience was very pleasant.
The server was very busy and that’s when the young girl Selina ( greeter) got into action and took good care of us from start to finish.
She was amazing and did everything with a smile.
Food was awesome too.
All in all , great experience!!

We were there for dinner last night.
The ambience is great, like the bright orange interiors.
Service was spot on, just 1 person managing all the tables and she did a great job.
We liked the crispy tofu it came with a sweet sauce, a spicy sauce would be great with it.
Springroll was a disapointment it was just 1 medium sized spring roll.
We had 2 curry bowls.
The curry bowls are huge ! like 1 bowl will be good for 2 people with good appetite! I had The Green Curry bowl with veggies and tofu (no meat) tasted great it had the right level of spice to balance the heavy coconut base, my daughter and husband shared a Koa Soy curry bowl with veggies and chicken.
My daughter loved it because it had chicken and it tasted sweet, my husband not so much he thought it needed some spice.
They do not have a kids menu, it would be a great addition if they did.
