Bushido Japanese Restaurant

Pretty decent Japanese food in a pinch. But I wouldn’t make it a habit to come here. All the Japanese basics, plus a good selection of sushi/sashimi. The prices are pretty steep, especially for the dinner time portions, especially since the food didn’t seem fancy or gourmet. It was pretty basic. The chicken was just chunked chicken with barely any sauce on it at all, I had to rely on the taste of the yum yum sauce for flavor. Broccoli was good, and the rice was solid. My wife said the sushi was 3/5. I will say the atmosphere is pretty good inside. Low light, and sort of relaxing. The outside of the shop needs some improvement though, but there’s only so much you can do at a strip mall. I can see myself coming back here if I wanted some Japanese food really quickly since it’s close to where I live. However, if I wanted more authentic or better quality Japanese, I’d go elsewhere. This is pretty generic. Overall, not terrible but not amazing.

We stopped in here on a spontaneous date night, and it turned out to be an excellent choice. The atmosphere was calm and relaxing, and the other guests were friendly and pleasant to be around. Our waitress was phenomenal—super attentive and informative. I’m not in this area often, but if I am and craving sushi or hibachi, you can bet I’ll be stopping by again. And be careful ordering the large carafe of sake. It's delicious and can sneak up on you.

Any negative reviews here are uptight egomaniacs. This place is absolutely awesome and we have always had the best service here. I bring my son here for his birthday every year and he won the grand price. We came later than we thought to honor the prize and they welcomed us in. So nice and always a nice break from the hustle and bustle of Summerville.

The food was great, we ordered takeout for the family and when we paid we were given a spin at the wheel for a free meal in which we won. Unfortunately, upon our return they would not honor their commitment and the coupon they had sent us home with. So as far as the follow through and follow up business I’ll never spend another dollar in this establishment. People should always attempt to do their best in follow through when offering these services. Understandable if it is hot possible, but never sell people on something you have no intention of providing them. That’s faulse advertising and as far as I’m concerned unAmerican! Find another avenue of business if you intend to sell lies.

My wife and I had dinner there today. She had the hibachi scallops and I had 2 sushi rolls. The food was good as was the presentation. The cost was also modest and the service was good. The only complaint I have is they present you with a bill that has tip percentages predetermined that include the tax. That's a big no no tipping on tax and their software automatically does it.
