Craving hibachi so we took a risk and went to Kita. It gets 50/50 reviews so we went in with an open mind. Firstly the service was spot on. Our waiter was an older gentleman and he was very nice and attentive. Ambience is definitely on the nice side, and this would make a great place for date night. Now to the food. We started with the wontons, and they were delicious! Super thin wontons stuffed with a savory cream filling on a bed of mango sweet and sour sauce. The hibachi meals come with the standard soup, salad, and choice of rice or noodles with vegetables and whichever protein you choose; we chose chicken. Everything was good except the chicken was overdone and tough but the teriyaki sauce everything was cooked in was good and the yum yum sauce wasn’t too sweet and complimented everything really well. I had the panther roll (tempura fried soft shell crab, cream cheese, avocado, and eel sauce) that I had spicy Mayo and crunches added. It was the best roll I’ve had so far in Charleston. Now….for $17 it should be the best in town; everywhere else is $10-13 for the exact same roll. Ultimately it’s the same type of meal you can get at any of the other hibachi places but cost a bit more ($18 for a kitchen cooked hibachi dinner, those are typically $13-16 when you don’t get “the show”) but this is a place I would happily go on a date night or if I had business clients in from out town.

A much finer and higher scale operation than what you would expect for West Virginia. The staff are on point and conversational. For the food it simply does not disappoint. I don’t know how they do it but for a location so inland the quality of their seafood is pretty good. Definitely the best sushi you could get in Charleston.

This place is so amazing. Food is fantastic. Robby gave us the best service ever! Definitely coming back 🙂 We got the filet and chicken, lobster roll, and the wonton appetizer! The portions are also good, you get the bang for your buck.

Stopped in for a great dinner. The blood orange cocktail was amazing as well as the deep fried pork gyoza. We ordered several sushi rolls and all did not disappoint … surf n turf roll for $9 on a Wednesday evening was a steal. We sat outside on the patio which was refreshing but the restaurant interior is beautiful. Service was great. We will be back again!

My first time trying Kita, but my family always talks about it. Everything was delicious! The volcano roll was beautifully crafted and just as tasty. The ramen was full of flavor! Definitely will be back.

Food was okay, with the exception of the Crab Rangoon ! Best I have ever had! We had 5 ppl in our party and all ordered at the same time. Our food came out separately with about 10 minutes between each person getting theirs. Waitstaff was nice and decor was great. I got the Hawaiian chicken which was fairly soggy.

This was our very first time here. The dining room is very modern and clean. The service was quick, efficient, and very friendly. And the food!! The calamari was well prepared. The crab fried rice was wonderful, especially with the nori on the top. And the sushi is some of the best I have had in a while. We will definitely be back. Thank you for a great experience.
