So, due to the pandemic, staffing pretty much everywhere is so limited. I visited Charleston in the past and this spot was top notch for sushi. We walked in, and it was packed. Kelly, our waitress gave us a heads up that since staff is extremely limited she was the only one handling all the tables. She also said sushi would be over an hour.

Great spot for beer and sushi as the sign says. We got there close to 7pm on a weekday and managed to get a table by the bar. The waitress was nice and the place was lively and filled with locals. We ordered a few rolls and got some beers. It took about 45 mins maybe more to get our food, but the food was delicious. The sushi was fresh and tasty. Would come here again for the sushi.
