Still the same!, great service, great staff, amazing food, today was Sin-Chan roll/Christmas roll, spring rolls & sunomono salad. A loud group was the only negative factor, but that's not the restaurants issue.

Always perfect food & staff.Jun 20, 2023Previous reviewSimply put....... This place rocks!, staff is awesome!, food is awesome!
Today was a bit off as they were slammed, but only had 2 servers, but it was fine, the food is worth the wait.
Today was a Romeo roll, a kamikaze roll, crab Rangoon, and chicken bowl.Jan 10, 2023Previous reviewMy saying I use each visit is "wow, that is good!"... doesn't seem to matter what is ordered!... every app, every roll, and every bowl...
The staff is awesome, this place is a must visit for sushi lovers!Jan 5, 2023Previous reviewAs I work through the menu, it gets better and better. This place is awesome although word has got out because it's always packed., as I've said, in my previous reviews you must get the crab Rangoon it's awesome but really every rule has been great proper temperatures and wonderful if the specials menu has the rare El Toro pay the money it's worth it.
Dec 29, 2022Previous reviewSeveral visits in, the staff is absolutely amazing....a pleasure to be around, and everything they offer is amazing, from all the apps (especially the crab Rangoon!...so much better than your run of the mill Rangoon found everywhere else), all the sushi, super high quality, served perfectly, my wife loves the salmon bowl, and sesame chicken bowl, one again, not the basic cheap Chinese saucy sugary version you get other places...
literally, always a pleasure!Dec 8, 2022Previous reviewAnd amazing again!, best crab rangoon ever both rolls amazing, sesame bowl, amazing.
Staff is great and bathrooms are clean.Oct 23, 2022Previous reviewFirst visit....beautiful place, great staff, and amazing sushi!, pricing is average for good sushi, the staff really does an amazing job, super attentive, highly recommended, see you there!

I was finally able to bring my 2 boys here for our New Year's Eve dinner...and here's the deal.
As anticipated, the place was quite busy...and I feel they were short-staffed (at least by 2 waiters). Our waiter did his best, but it was obvious he was overwhelmed. Still, the problem really wasn't the service...but the foods.
First of all, I've always liked the foods at this chain...and I've been to several Konnichiwa locations throughout the states. Sadly, on this special night, everything we ordered was utterly disappointing.
Both my husband and my son were underwhelmed with their orders. Not quite sure what I thought of my son's Chicken Hibachi Bowl...but from what I saw of my husband's Chicken Katsu Bento Box, the Chicken Katsu was very minimal...like maybe 6 small pieces?? Generous with the rice and the veggies though.
Unlike the small portion in the bento box, there was a generous portion of Chicken Katsu in the Chicken Curry Katsu bowl...BUT, here's the shocker. This had to be THE worst Curry Katsu version I've ever seen!?! The Chicken Katsu was just passable at best, but the thing is this...the veggies were mostly sliced Onions and Carrots. No potatoes and no greens. I've never seen a Chicken Curry Katsu bowl with so much ONIONS! Also, the curry sauce was nearly tasteless! This was a pricey bowl too...and they couldn't manage to add in some potatoes?? UGHHH....terrible!! To be fair, it was my bad in choosing this item...in that I didn't fully read the ingredients. Needless to say, I regretted ordering this.
Then, this sushi we ordered ("Hadouken") nearly stunned me...with its near-gross presentation. I actually saw a very appetizing picture of it from Konnichiwa Charlotte location...and assumed it would look about the same. WRONG! This looked nothing like the nice version served in Charlotte. Thank God, it tasted O-Kay (not exactly a hit with us on that front as well)...we nearly asked them to take it back, but decided not to.
I've eaten here at least twice before this occasion and liked the foods...so I was a bit surprised how each and every dish we ordered was a let-down. Well, actually, the only thing we all liked were their Shrimp Tempura appetizer. Good thing we ordered 2.
I will say that I've never been impressed with the sushi presentation here. Unlike the Charlotte and the Charleston locations, the sushi presentation at this Fort Mill location is sloppy at best. It's like NO EFFORT was made in making the sushi look halfway nice...even for their priciest rolls. The sushi rolls taste good enough, but their presentation skills are basic at best.
It's a shame. This place is located so close to my home...but I've lost faith in them somehow. Who knows...I may try them again in the future, but I'm not rushing back anytime soon.Helpful 3Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 1Sep 1, 2024Previous reviewI got super-hungry at around 2 pmish, and was so glad to discover that this place was open throughout the day (no separate lunch and dinner hours)!
This time, I tried their "New Gangnam" Sushi Roll...which had a chunk of Filet Mignon in each of the roll...styled as "Kimbop" (with a Seaweed cover)....then they added Kimchi and plenty of Shrimp Tempura on top with Bang Bang Sauce. It was truly the most Korean sushi roll I've ever had...and maybe I'm biased, but it was possibly one of the tastiest roll I've ever had as well!
I also ordered Shrimp Tempura. They're not as big-plump as the usual Shrimp Tempura, but they were still satisfying as sides.
Again, I left impressed with the place....but I did think that the presentation of these pricier sushi rolls could be improved. From what I've had so far, the rolls tasted amazing...but the presentation has been disappointing (much weaker than the rolls I've had at the other locations). For sushi rolls priced 18 bucks and up, I felt that they should look the part??
Hopefully I can upgrade the review next time...should I come across a delightfully tasty AND beautifully presented roll?Sep 6, 2023Previous reviewI've been to Konnichiwa in Charlotte a few times, as well as the one in Charleston...so I figured I might as well check out this Fort Mill location (located closest to my home).
I swung in for a super-late lunch, nearly 3 pm! They're open all throughout the day...no separate lunch and dinner hours...YAY!! Surprisingly, there were a few folks dining still.
Like their other locations, this one also had the same green color theme. First of all, this location had a better, more comfortable layout...and since newer, seemingly cleaner as well. Plus, it had plenty of comfy booths...and awesome air conditioning!! This location even featured great overhead music. Check, check and check!!! Even before the foods hit the table, I preferred this location over the one in Charlotte...and maybe even over the more extravagant, though much older one in Charleston.
I ended up ordering their special sushi roll, "Beautiful Fort Mill"...along with a Shrimp Tempura appetizer and a side of Noodles.
I actually thought the noodles would be the Sobe noodles...but nope, it's just basic thin noodles. Well flavored though. Although theirs was a much thinner version (yet much cheaper as well!), the Shrimp Tempura appetizer was really good...super crispy! As for their "Beautiful Fort Mill" sushi rolls, they were thoroughly delicious!! The presentation was a bit sloppy though...not even half as good as the ones I've seen on Yelp. Still, they tasted amazing...so forgivable.
Service was right on point as well. My waiter was super-friendly and attentive...and my dishes were delivered within just a few minutes.
Overall, I thought this Fort Mill location was awesome. I get the feeling that I'll be returning to this one more than any other Konnichiwa locations! - Mar 2, 2025Updated review
Really good sushi and amazing hibachi rice bowls! I got the Gamecock roll and just a cucumber roll and my husband got the chicken hibachi bowl. It was really yummy and I'll definitely be back!

Excellent sushi! Service was spot on too. Order a combination of everything and you will not be disappointed. Excellent service as well.

Loved this place. Outside seating is visible from street. High chair option and well lit. Food came out fairly quickly. Service was pleasant as I sent a roll back to be warmed. It was done quickly and with no issue. Good was fresh and delicious!! What makes this place stand out from the usual hibachi/sushi place are the "bowls" I opted for the steak bowl. I plan to return and will have the bulgogi bowl

Third time was not a charm but yet a reassurance that I will never come back here again. It just doesn't do it for me. Cold food, subpar service and the dismissal to make things correct is not somewhere I will continue to patronize or recommend to others.
Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0Sep 15, 2022Previous reviewThe first time I went here I went during opening week and I absolutely loved it. The didn't have a Yelp set up yet so I wasn't able to give my review. At this time the service was great, the food was hot and delicious and although their a/c wasn't on yet we had a good lunch.
I came back yesterday for lunch and had more of a mediocre experience. The a/c was on and signage outside is now up. Oddly we were the only people dining in on a Wednesday around 2:30pm.
The food portions were the same but they've changed the rice. The "fried" rice is just sticky white rice with some kind of coloring or added soy sauce to make it brown. The food was overall good but wasn't hot, especially the filling in the crab Rangoon. The Thai tea was delicious but the boba was horrible. The boba balls were hard and powdery when chewed. I sent my original drink back. The waitress advised me she's never had boba before and asked me what was wrong with it.
The waitress was new and unfamiliar with the menu but every question she had she went and asked another staff member so I appreciate her efforts.
This place probably won't be high on my return list anytime soon but when I do come back, I hope to have a better experience with fresher food. - Stacie H.Rock Hill, SC05441Dec 13, 2024
The food was great.
The service we received wasn't the best.
It was our first time here and yes it was on a Saturday night but someone took our order but I don't think they were our server because they never came back. The wrong food was brought to our table but that's okay, mistakes happen. When we are done eating we sat there for probably about 10-15 minutes waiting on whoever our server was. Someone who I'm guessing was our server came up and asked if we needed boxes but other than that after the food was brought out no one ever checked on us or even refilled drinks.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Kristin D.Brooklyn, NY295218Jul 24, 2024
What a delicious dining experience paired with great service. The soup dumplings and crab rangoon were lovely. They have so many different sushi options, all of which were great. I had the Floridian Roll and the Filet Mignon Roll.
My boyfriend had the miso soup and teriyaki bento box and enjoyed it as well.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 0 - Jan 1, 2024
I called in for to go Ramen noodle special with chicken and veggies springrolls.
The food were ready when we got there and the ramen noodle tasted pretty good even when it was not eating right away and the spring rolls are good too.
Hopefully next time we can eat in the restaurant .Helpful 3Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 1
