Contrary to what some might believe, the Myrtle Beach culinary scene doesn’t just consist of seafood restaurants and pancake houses. The Grand Strand has a ton of international variety, including plenty of places to get some great Japanese food. Whether you’re in the mood for fresh sushi, hibachi dinner, or a bowl of ramen, there’s a place around here that’ll provide you your fix. To help you out, we’ve rounded up this list of 5 of the best Japanese restaurants in Myrtle Beach.
Sugami Sushi offers a wide variety of authentic Japanese dishes at a convenient spot on Kings Highway. While the menu features everything from steak and seafood to hibachi and stir-fried noodles, sushi is the standout, with over 120 options including traditional rolls, specialty creations, and sushi platters.
Signature rolls like the Sugami Crunch and Big Name Roll bring bold flavors and unique combinations, while non-sushi lovers can enjoy dishes like Mongolian beef, Chicken Katsu, and Pad Thai.
Lil’ Tokyo at Coastal Grand Mall is a great spot for hibachi after a day of shopping. Enjoy lively chef performances and a full meal complete with soup, salad, shrimp appetizer, fried rice, and your choice of protein. And if hibachi isn’t your style, you can opt for the sushi bar or try something totally different with their Vietnamese pho menu.
The menu is full of variety, from classic kitchen appetizers like dumplings and tempura to sushi starters like Hamachi Kama and Naruto rolls wrapped in cucumber and ponzu.
There are many great sushi bars on the Grand Strand, but there aren’t many that do it quite as good as King Kong. As the name implies, the sushi rolls are monster-sized, as are the main dishes off the hibachi.
But if you’re in the mood for something fresh and raw, King Kong is the place to be, especially around happy hour for discounted food and drink. Sushi lovers should try the Tuna Mania – spicy tuna roll wrapped in Tuna Tataki cooked with a blow torch.
One of the most enjoyable nights out, especially for large parties, is a steam tableside-seat at the Restaurant Row and Murrells Inlet establishments. It’s really like dinner and a show all in one.
Hibachi chefs dazzle patrons with their cooking skills, playfully flipping shrimp into their mouths and performing other tricks of the trade. Miyabi also serves great sushi. Be sure to order different dishes and share.
I feel obligated to put at least one buffet on the list. If you truly feel like eating all you can eat without sacrificing quality for quantity, there no better Japanese offering in town than Osaka.
Featuring a huge buffet filled with traditional Japanese dishes and other Asian standards, including a fresh sushi bar and a make-your-own-meal grill. The buffet also offers seafood and many American alternatives in case not everyone in your party is up for Japanese.
