Yokoso Japanese Steakhouse Summerville

What a great night thanks to our chef Flo! He was amazing. What a treat to have him cook for us. He has so much passion for his job. Such a nice and clean restaurant. Large portions of food for value. I had the teriyaki chicken & TWO HUGE portions of rice. My husband had shrimp & scallops and daughter had egg rolls and all were done nice.

Our server was awesome, we chose to sit at the bar and she handled the whole bar very well super friendly very polite checked on us multiple times, but the food was just kind of boring they made it look pretty ,but there was little flavor. The gluten-free soy sauce I believe had expired. As It didn't tastes the greatest. The wasabi was old it wasn't very spicy, so that indicated that it wasn't very fresh.

Kenji was AWESOME!!!! We really enjoyed his cooking and service. Everything was cooked to perfection. Kelley was AMAZING as well - she is one of BEST servers we've ever met! We really had a great experience!

It's good but We've had better. The teriyaki chicken is way too sweet, we added scallops to our dinners because there wasn't a combo to get everything we wanted and we understand prices are high but a side of scallops costs 23$ for 5 is a bit much. Server messed up our order 2x, we were celebrating a birthday and told server and chef but nothing. No conversation with our chef. Can't tell you his name because he never talked to anyone except about what sauces you wanted and how you wanted your steak cooked. We always order filets but the other party at our table ordered steak . The steaks were ribeyes that were extremely fatty. Huge sections of fat. Half of the steak was pure fat. The chef just cooked the steaks cut them up with no trimming of the fat and served it. I'm guessing they were short on cooks because half of the restaurant was empty but the lobby and entrance way was full of people waiting to be seated. If I was the Management/owner, I would seat the people and tell them it will be a few minutes. This will increase your sushi sales, appetizer, and drink sales. As a patron we all felt rushed. Everyone at our table. As soon as the chef cleaned the grill which was 5 minutes at best after we all received our meats the server brought out the bills and asked if we wanted boxes. Nobody in our party or the other party at our table was able to get more than 5 bites in. My personal party of 3 spent 300$.

We dined in the regular dining area. We both ordered the ribeye,shrimp, and teriyaki chicken trio from the hibachi menu. We also had the shrimp goyza as an appetizer. The regular dining area was quiet and softly lit. As someone who prefers quiet dining I appreciated this. The waitress was very polite and willing to answer any questions we had. Our food was delivered quickly but with enough time between items to enjoy them. Would definitely recommend the shrimp goyza appetizer. It was wonderful. The salad that comes with the entree was a little heavy on the dressing and was fairly plain being just lettuce and a single cucumber slice. The soup was also very plain being a broth with a smattering of green onion and 2 thin slices of mushroom. Regardless I thoroughly enjoyed it. The hibachi dish was presented beautifully. The zucchini was cooked perfect. I enjoyed the shrimp the most but all items were delicious. I would definitely recommend.
