Do you enjoy eating Greek food and meat served at room temperature?
More than an hour after we ordered, our food arrived. Most everyone had cold food. Thank goodness they had a microwave.
Moussaka was bland, probably frozen.
Their "Greek-style potatoes" are simply whole Irish potatoes...
Standard American diner fare served with friendly and courteous atttention. Ate there three mornings in a row and would go back again if ever in Coumbia
The Kobayashi family were extremely courteous and friendly to my husband and I as we visited my daughter who was in school in Columbia, SC. The food was extremely good and I would recommend this to anyone without any hesitation!

It was good. The waitress was a little bit unhelpful in selecting a dish, considering my inexperience with Thai food, but the food itself was very good.
These guys understand eggroll Great job Chen!!!
The best sushi restaurant in Columbia!!
Excellent food, bad service.
As a previous rater, we were told by our waiter that we had ordered too much sushi. Little did he know that my husband is a competitive athlete who eats A LOT. We are also veteran sushi eaters. However, we deferred to the waiter's suggestion ... only to end up orderi...
Great place to eat! Best of the best. Eggroll Chen is one of the places the locals will refer you to just because it is so welcoming and down right good eats. Chen is miles ahead of the China Huts or any of those typical chinese "hole in the wall" places around town. Make it your main stop when in t...
Great food here -- my wife (who is native Japanese) and I dined here several times for everything from sushi to sukiyaki and were always pleased with our meals.
Unfortunately, we'll never go back there after some extremely rude treatment by a waitress and a younger sushi chef.
After placing our o...
A staple of Irmo. Great Greek food at 1970's prices! Great place to take kids. I suffer withdrawal symptoms if I don't eat there about once every two months! Say "Hi!" to Jimmy for me!
Excellent place to eat quality Sushi and Japanese style hibachi. Very reasonable in price. The ambiance is OK, but it is very clean and staff are always pleasant. No long waiting and easy to locate.
Every bite of their food is amazing. Saki is the only place that has special rolls such as Birthday roll, Columbia roll, and Bento boxes. You cannot find these anywhere else here in Columbia. It provides so much flavor you would not believe it. Most importantly, everything there is homemade. Mo...
Freshest fish in South Carolina!!!
Mr. Kobayashi is the best. Camon is the best Japanese restaurant in Columbia if you're a sushi/sashimi fan. Highly recommended.
Zesto's was quite possibly the most quintessential fast food experiences of my life. I order the double chicken breast snacker with a double order of fries with no coleslaw. The meal was amazing. I do not have words for how stunning it was to my taste buds. You should be there instead of reading...
The best Mexican restaurant in SC and I have tried many. I recommend "Mushroom Quesadilla", "Pollo Fundido", "Camaron al Ajo", "Quesadilla Mexicana". If you are REAL hungry or if there are 4 in your party, try "Parrillada for Two" with extra refried beans and taco shells. You will not be disappoin...
Saki was amazing place due to their authentic style and fresh fish. You can die happy once you eat here.
Inakaya is a weekly favorite for me...the sushi chefs there are happy to do their job...happy to take a shot of saki with you...and happy to make any roll you want...the waitresses are dressed authentically and the decorations are authentic and the party rooms have seats on the floor...the smoke squ...
Best fast food experience of my life!
I work close to this place so I an a frequent guest. Everything I get here is excellent. The meals are large for a cheap price too. Shrimp fried rice can feed like 4 people from one take out :-) . Call in is always ready in 10 minutes when you arrive. Love the egg rolls. Yummy. Think I will cal...
