    First time diner looking for high quality sushi in the upstate. Found it! Generous portions, extensive selection and great freshness. One in our party is not a fan of sushi and found ample alternatives from which to select. My wife had the evening special roll that came with an entire shelled small lobster. It wasn't cheap, but considering the ingredients and craftsmanship it was a good value. Will definitely make the hour drive to Anderson again.

    Todd, that's great! Thank you for such kind words! I hope you become one of our best regulars!

    Our entire experience was amazing. Our waitress was AMAZING. I hate I can't remember her name. We are new to sushi, and are picky because of the texture and aren't advanced into raw yet so we tried the ranger roll. It was delicious to the point we want to return for another one today. The only thing we did not like was the Miso soup. We expected the clear stuff like at the corner spots. This was not it. But our wonderful waitress switched us to salads with no hesitation. I had the teriyaki chicken and my husband had the ribeye. The food was well seasoned, great quality and exceeded expectations. We ended our meal with the fried cheesecake, and it was another win. We cannot wait to return. This is definitely Anderson's hidden gem.

    Thats great to hear, Myra! I am so happy to hear that you had such a great experience with us and got such excellent service.
