Had a birthday party dinner here for a good friend. The place was nicely set up to accommodate our large party, however our waiter wasn't equipped with the knowledge or experience to handle a group larger than 4.... I ordered lettuce wraps and the wagu platter with a side of rice onions and peppers. I received a plate of lettuce, peppers, and cold rice. As the rest of our party was finishing another waitress brought out my wagu meat and tried to make me take it and I was so frustrated at the lack of concern or urgency to the table in front of me being empty space I told her no I would you not accept the meat now.Sadly this restaurant had potential but the service was so bad that I will never return or recommend it for any one else.

While getting lost looking for the Chef 21 that serves Sushi, (my younger brother and I are not familiar with Greenville), we stumbled upon this place. It was probably about a few minutes before closing. The person that served us was very sweet and patient and allowed us so much time to look over the menu and even offered a copy to take home.I got the Lavender milk tea with tapioca, and my brother got the Strawberry tea with strawberry pearls. The drinks were phenomenal. The music is very nice and the server was amazing as well, she even brought the drinks to our table because I was busy taking photos. 10/10 I already told my brother that my next pay check we’ve got to comeback earlier and leave a tip of sorts!

An eclectic but cozy environment in the main restaurant with a unique and relaxing spot at the boba tea shop next door. Can't miss the amazing sushi burger, highly recommend.

Overall ended the night very satisfied with everything. The food was amazing. The service was top tier and the place was very aesthetically pleasing. We got the Korean Army BBQ Hot Pot. The flavor of the broth was very full of spices and I personally love that. We also ordered the Sushi Hamburger. And that was a first for me. It was surprisingly very delicious and well put together. Didn't fall apart after the first bite and you got all the best of a burger and sushi out together. The service was amazing. Our waitress was on top of everything and the staff was overly friendly. We love that. The restaurants design was also very unique and eye catching. I saw it driving by and decided to give it a shot knowing my love for Asian cuisine and I was not disappointed. Definitely recommend this place!

We luckily found onstreet parking right in front. The interior has changed drastically since this was Mary Beths. A more modern vibe, tables and comfortable booths. There is a bar with cocktails that reflect the Asian cuisine theme. The wine list is all right but not extensive; the beer menu was disappointing. But the FOOD! Oh, yeah. Great selections; unique dishes. Plenty of sushi rolls and more. We started with Ceviche containing tuna, lobster, scallops and a delicious mango salsa. Then onto the combination Hot Pot. The opportunity to prepare exactly as you like it was fun. We were checked on regularly; hostess and staff were welcoming and engaging. The selections were pricey but the food was worth it. I'll probably return.

We had an outstanding experience the food was great and service was great. This will be a new go to restaurant for me and the wife. We look forward to trying more things on the menu. The restaurant had a really cool theme and ambiance.

If you love a big, satisfying bite of sushi, get the sushi burger. Well worth the price and I had leftovers. Seaweed salad was pretty good. My boyfriend ordered the korean fried chicken sandwich and loved it! Spicy mayo wasn't too hot for him. Our server was friendly and helpful, the food came out pretty quickly. The space is really cool looking too, we went for an early dinner so we might come back for drinks!

First time grabbing lunch here. i had the shrimp with glass noodles bowl. it was incredibly fresh and delicious! definitely will make this a regular rotation for healthy, tasty, fresh lunch!

This place was adorable and the girl and counter was so nice. I got a Honeydew Boba tea (i love they have different sizes) and it was delicious. The atmosphere has some cute features but it does feel a little mish mash ambience wise. Due to this and a very small Boba flavor menu I gave them a 4 star but I'll definitely be back if I'm in town again.

This place had such a fun and significant vibe with neon lights and colors! It was clean and we got the coolest cozy corner! My date and I shared tapas apps and the Atlantis Roll for dinner. The food was incredible and the service was very friendly, speedy, personable, and ensured quality of service! The owner of the resturant conversed and assisted with serving tables as well. There is also a Boba shop next door the owner also runs and it's connected by this space themed hallway in the back with nights and decor! Both the food and the boba was INCREDIBLE.
