Yokoso Japanese Steakhouse Summerville

We love this place. Often we will have only sushi their excellent rolls for dinner. Other times we'll have a Hibachi dinner. The wait for a Hibachi table can seem long, but it is worth it for the company the show. The food is first rate, always.

Had a great time for our Son's birthday. The amount of found was outstanding. Atmosphere and staff were awesome.

(On a scale of 3 being average and 5 being amazing) We had such a fun time the atmosphere was fun, the wait staff was attentive and friendly, everything cooked fresh from the grill was delicious. Our chef was entertaining and engaging. Strictly personal preference, I did not care for bacon and eggs (standard) in the fried rice, in my my opinion these flavors overpowered the grill flavor. If it we weren't for the bacon and the eggs and that our batch of rice was pretty under cooked (from the kitchen I am sure this was a 1 off but still diminished the meal) I would have scored higher.

We used to eat here 3-4 times a month, the prices have went up so much that's not an option anymore. 2 adults 2 small kids is close to $200, they also used to have discounts for certain professions. I also agree with others saying the portions havedecreased also. It's been like it for a while but the stickiness needs to be fixed. The tables on the sushi side aredisgustingly sticky. The service and food always taste good.

So we were greeted upon entering the restaurant. We frequent this place or so we used to. We decided to go to the non hibachi side today. Our server Ms Ginger was very kind and pleasant. The menu prices have drastically increased since our last visit 8months ago. We had no wait to be seated and minimal wait for the food. Refills were not as punctual as you might expectthough. Restaurant capacity on the non hibachi side was maybe 15%. 2 servers working. We have nothing at all bad to saytowards the server. She was on point, always smiling, made the pleasant conversation you would expect. BUT. The tables werevery sticky, the floor was sticky and my shoes talked to me. We did get a high chair for our 10 month old. It was sticky aswell. The taste of the food was not what we used to get from this place. I hate to say it but the food from the Northwoodsmall was larger portioned and better taste for half the price. 2 drinks 2 adult dishes and 1 kids dish was still $88. Inprevious settings of this restaurant this would have been acceptable but no longer. Portion size has decreased substantiallyand the flavor is not the same. If this message to the managers/owners is not taken seriously. This place may be on the vergeof closing. It will take a serious revamp of this location if it is to succeed. Prices have increased at this place 2xs in thepast year. The only explanation from this perspective would be lack of business and an attempt to recover revenue. I regret tosay this will probably be my last visit to this place. It pains me to say again in all seriousness the Japan food from the mallat this point is much more pleasant.
