We do love our meat & potatoes in the U.S., and though eating fine steaks out on the town is a regular occurrence for many, and an occasional treat for others, no one wants to be disappointed, especially while on vacation. Choosing the right Myrtle Beach steakhouse can make or break a vacation experience. The aroma of beef wafting through the restaurant sets the mood for the meal, while anticipation of the first bite grows with each passing minute. With a wide variety of grades from choice to prime, along with a dozen cuts and styles of preparations, steak is not just simply “steak.” Most of the steakhouses in Myrtle Beach from budget-friendly to fine dining offer the full range of choices: New York Strip, Sirloin, Ribeye, Filet Mignon Tenderloin, to the higher-end steakhouses serving only prime beef including the Delmonico and Porterhouse. Beef is not cheap, so more than ever choosing the right restaurant is all-important.

This Japanese sit-down eatery at Coastal Grande Mall is a convenient place to take the family for a fun hibachi experience after a day of shopping. But if that’s not your thing, a sushi bar full of fresh fish is also available, along with a separate seating area. Lil’ Tokyo Food If you decide to go the hibachi route, your meal with come with soup, salad, two pieces of shrimp as an appetizer, fried rice, and your choice of main protein. In addition to standard hibachi fare – Chicken, Steak, Shrimp – the options here are fish-heavy and include Tilapia, Mahi Mahi, Flounder, and sushi-grade Tuna. Of course, combination choices are plenty, and pretty much all of the meats can be had in groups of two or three. Opting for the sushi side of the restaurant will give you with a more traditional Japanese dinner experience. Appetizers are divided into two categories – Kitchen and Sushi. The first features mainstays like dumplings, egg rolls, and tempura in addition to more interesting starters like Kushiyaki (marinated beef with green onions, skewer-style) and Agedashi Tofu (fried bean curd). The Sushi apps are a little more adventurous, and highlights include Naruto (spicy tuna, avocado, and crab wrapped in cucumber and served with ponzu and eel sauce), and the outstanding Hamachi Kama (yellowtail collar, broiled and barbecued with chili peppers). Of course, if you’re not in the mood for Japanese at all, Lil Toyko’s Vietnamese Pho menu lets your forgo the hibachi and sushi experience entirely. Pho is a traditional noodle soup, made with a rich broth, rice noodles, bean sprouts, fresh basil, and your choice of Beef & Meatballs, Chicken, Shrimp, Seafood, or Vegetables. Lil’ Tokyo Atmosphere The vibe here will depend on whether you choose to belly up to one of the hibachi grills, or take a table near the sushi bar. Watching one of the hibachi experts is definitely an interesting and lively experience. The talented chefs often interact with the guests, telling jokes, making funny shapes out of food, flicking shrimp into the air in the direction of your mouth, lighting things on fire – you get the idea. But a much calmer and more personal experience (hibachi tables are communal, usually seating around eight), which fits the cuisine perfectly – deceptively simple, artistic food is probably best enjoyed in peace.

Widely considered the best of the best, serving only prime beef, a meal at the award-winning New York Prime is an experience.

The restaurant’s 1700-degree broilers create caramelization without overcooking. While the superior steaks are second-to-none, the seafood dishes, sides, and desserts complete what many say is the finest dining experience in Myrtle Beach.
