167 Sushi - Charleston

We try all the sushi places in whatever city we go to, we are not experts, but this is our take on 167 Sushi. It seemed like they put some spice or salt on every piece of sashimi or sushi. We ordered a bowl of plain white steamed rice and even it had some weird spices in it. If you like that this might be your place, we didn’t care for it. We tried the sushi/sashimi with the spices on them then eventually ended up scraping it off before we ate it. They even put salt on the toro. We ended up finishing up what we initially ordered and leaving to another sushi place up the road. On a positive note, the service was great.

It was the best sushi I’ve ever had, easily. I highly recommend eating their sushi without soy sauce because of the sheer amount of flavors in each bite. Absolutely incredible, and Caleb was incredibly helpful and made the whole thing an experience instead of a plain lunch.

167 Sushi was perfect in every aspect. The staff was incredible and we were treated with sitting in front of the chefs. They were so personable and we let them choose the different dishes in our meal. The food was unbelievably flavorful and delicious. An amazing small restaurant that’s perfect for a date.

Clearly based on the reviews we are in the minority but we thought the food was awful and the service was mediocre. We begrudgingly finished our plates because we were hungry and it was so expensive. I enjoy a small, well thought out plate and don’t mind paying a premium, but literally everything we tried was unoriginal and lacked any depth of flavor. We were so excited to try this spot given the reviews and were left disappointed. There are so many amazing restaurants in Charleston and this one just missed the mark for us.
