   Very pleasantly surprised for our first visit. We have been going out to eat every Sunday this summer and, sadly, have been greatly disappointed by the majority of places, some that used to be ok. We did not think the odds were high for Mesu’s Mex-sushi combo. Surprise! Food was good (guacamole, chicken taco, taco salad, egg roll), service quick and friendly, and the margaritas were just right. Only issue is the prices, but welcome to post-pandemic inflation. Highly recommended.

   Expensive for the portion sizes, even for Charleston. Sushi roll was $20 for 6 pieces. Margarita was $20 for 16 oz. Food was good but not worth the expense. Won’t be back.

   Overall it was really good. Drinks were delicious and strong. Service was great. Street corn was wonderful. Pork and chicken tacos were very tasty. Chips were fresh and seasoned perfectly. Only thing lacking was the salt in the guacamole. Very bland unfortunately. Red salsa and the cheese dip was perfect. Definitely will be back though. Love good Mexican food. Maybe I’ll try the sushi next time.

   Nice atmosphere. Good tequila selection. Decent food. Loud mid-2000 hip-hop music. Bachelorette crowd (whoooooo!) 🙋‍♀️. Enjoyable.

   Would not recommend. Was very very excited to try this place too. We had a large group so I was looking for a restaurant that had an accommodating menu for everyone- and that was a huge mistake. The service ruined our evening. They never put in any of the appetizers (then our waitress blamed us for ordering our entrees at the same time as our apps??), my drink came out incorrectly 3 times, then I (the host of the event) was served about 20 minutes after everyone had received their meals and to make it worse I had ordered a pricier tuna roll (that’s all I ordered by the way) but it was filled with cucumber and the smallest sliver of tuna I’ve ever seen. This was also at 10pm so we were starving. The restaurant was not overwhelmed by any means (i totally understand those types of issues) so that’s what was the most frustrating. There’s no excuse. I felt management was condescending but appreciated her initial approach. It was very obvious maybe that had been treated poorly by bachelorette parties in the past and were annoyed that we even came in. Which is not my problem or my groups problem. When I complained I never asked them for anything but just to do better next time and then towards the end I felt it wasn’t enough and for them to comp a few drinks which they refused to do (after we had already spent nearly a thousand dollars). They should’ve offered to do something for us from the start- we don’t want to be in a position of having to ask for any compensation. Compared to our experience the next evening, we ate at Halls which had exceptional service. They were kind, prompt, knowledgeable and accommodating. They sent out complimentary drinks and desserts for us at the beginning and end of our meal (we never asked for this) since they knew we were celebrating during our trip. They were happy to have us and that attitude made our experience so much better.

    The nachos were very salty and when we told the waitress, she said they had made a mistake with all the seasoning and it was not supposed to be that salty and she took it back. However, they charges us anyways.

    The waitstaff was great. However, the noise level was very high for an 8pm dinner reservation. The music was club music, which is perfect for a dance club, but not great for dinner music. I put the food at a 3 because I ordered a margarita that said house made, but it tasted like margarita mix and I could not taste the (expensive) tequila at all. Very weakly made drink. My family really enjoyed the taste of the tacos, but my son's shell fell apart before it could be eaten. I ordered two rolls, the tequila roll and the dynamite roll. I do not usually like tempura rolls, but the dynamite roll was pretty good. I was disappointed in the Tequila roll because 1) it was too salty (too much black lava salt) and 2) it had avocado in it, but the menu did not list avocado as an ingredient (see below, I would have asked for no avocado). *Tequila Roll $18.00 Market fish, kanpachi, cucumber, black lava salt, lime, cilantro. The chips were good (appetizer) and the edamame was good.

    Food was over flavored. Rolls had more rice than anything. Quality 2/5 for sushi. Nachos were delicious and service was 5/5 when we were there on a Tuesday night so not too busy. Probably a one stop & shop place though I must say. You’re left with wanting to drink lots of water for the rest of the night

    Great food and service! Was a bit turned off by the “policy” of only being given an hour & 15 min to dine, we definitely would have stayed longer for drinks if we could have. The very loud house music is also a bit aggressive and doesn’t fit the vibe of the restaurant at all. Otherwise, we had a great time and my fiancé was given a free tequila shot & got to ring the gong for his birthday!

    The bartender was terrible, we had to flag him down to order our first and only drink. Had to flag him down again to get an appetizer order that we never received. The one time he checked on us we asked for the check. They seemed under staffed but the bartender didn’t seem to be working too hard to take care of the customers. The restaurant had a good atmosphere, unfortunately we didn’t get to experience any of the food.

    Our table was right by the door which was not ideal. The entrees came out a little quickly as we were still finishing appetizers. Otherwise it was very good.

    Would not recommend. The price is overkill for the food and drink quality. I’d recommend going to any other restaurants in that area. The service is also lacking.

    We got seated 30 minutes after our reservation and food was forgotten for two people of my party only to be brought out when we reminded them. They only had one server running all of the tables and the poor girl looked so stressed. They need to get more servers especially if they cater to big groups.

    Went out for family birthday. Music loud, bachelorette party was out of control, and staff encouraged this behavior. Other guests were not appreciated of the party either. Not a place for a family dinner. Could only stay for apps. Food and drinks were delicious.
