Very pretty interior. I could tell the server was close with her regulars which was nice. The Japanese curry ramen with shrimp was AMAZING! The sushi burger was okay, just wasn’t a fan of the seaweed salad on the burger. Would love to come back for some of the cool events they have coming up!

We usually eat at this place in person however we decided to order from chef 21 through DoorDash. Bag was sealed and everything. There was HARD ACRYLIC shattered pieces throughout my husbands Atlantis sushi. Literally embedded and rolled inside. He cut the roof of his mouth and thank god he didn’t swallow it. This could have ended way worse. I don’t understand how something like this could have happened I am highly upset!! I tried calling and no answer

We went in and split the bbq pool party and everything was so good! They give you a good mix of everything and the cost split between 4 people was very affordable for the amount of food. One of the best kbbq I’ve tried and I truly was not mad that it wasn’t all you can eat because it included a lot of food!

Met some friends for NYE and had a reservation for 7:30. They seemed *massively* unprepared for the crowd they had--a massive line at the door, tables being turned slowly, kitchen backed up, slow (but good) service. Not sure what went wrong that night.

We weren't sat until 7:45, drink orders weren't take for 5-10 minutes. Meals were excellent, but slow. One in my group requested some additional veg for their meal, which didn't show up until we were all finished eating. Another placed an order for sake in the middle of our meal and cancelled it as we were finished with our meal before it showed up.

Overall, I realize it was a busy night, but they seemed to lack leadership and direction. Will definitely give them another chance.

I had the pleasure of dining at Chef 21 Sushi Burger and Korean BBQ, and it was an unforgettable experience! The food was absolutely incredible—everything from the perfectly marinated BBQ meats to the fresh sushi and flavorful hotpot options. The variety on the menu was outstanding, and every dish was crafted with care and packed with flavor.

The highlight of the evening was undoubtedly the service from Mary. She was beyond amazing! Mary was friendly, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable. She took the time to explain the menu, made excellent recommendations, and ensured everything was cooked and served to perfection. Her warm personality and exceptional service truly elevated the experience.

If you're in the mood for delicious food and stellar service, Chef 21 Sushi Burger and Korean BBQ is the place to go. Don’t forget to ask for Mary—she’s a superstar and will make your visit unforgettable!

Chef 21 is an absolute gem! If you’re looking for a place to enjoy hotpot and Korean BBQ, this is the spot to be. The ingredients were incredibly fresh, the flavors were on point, and the variety on the menu was outstanding. I’m not sure how there is a negative review regarding this restaurant.

What made our visit truly exceptional, though, was Mary, our server. She was absolutely amazing! Mary was informative, friendly, and made the whole dining experience seamless and enjoyable. She walked us through the menu, helped with recommendations, and ensured our table was always stocked with everything we needed. Her energy and professionalism were unmatched. Not sure who C. Was referring to but it was definitely not the Mary we had, she was on point and one of the best servers I’ve had.

We can’t wait to come back, and we’ll definitely be asking for Mary again. Highly recommend 21 Chief for a fun and flavorful dining experience!

We had New Years Eve dinner at this GEM of a place. Where to start … it’s beautiful inside, Henry our bartender was so nice we gave up our table to sit at the bar for dinner and had a WONDERFUL time. The service was perfect! And now THE FOOD! OMG. There was a gentleman sitting down from us who was having the spicy tuna burger. I was intrigued. He said this was his 4th time coming in just for this meal!!! We had to try it and we are SO GLAD we did. It was the most delicious thing We have had in a long time. We are definitely going back for this again before we leave Greenville. If we could give them 20 stars we would !!! Apologies that i didn’t take a picture before we cut it in half to share it. Butt i highly recommend!!!

We attempted to dine in at Chef 21 tonight. There was a line at the door. We waited for about 20 minutes for seating. No one greeted us upon entry. Seats were available. However, the staff were not trying to clean tables and seat timely. We left and the couple waiting in front of us left as well.

My chiropractor is right next door, and I’m kicking myself for not checking this place out sooner! If you know me, you know ramen is my absolute favorite, and this spot did not disappoint. Their stir-fry ramen was everything I hoped for—flavorful, satisfying, and downright addictive.

My boyfriend’s bibimbap was just as impressive, packed with fresh ingredients and perfectly balanced flavors. The waiter was kind, attentive, and quick to respond to every little need, making the experience even better.

The atmosphere? Cozy and inviting. And let me just say, their bathroom is surprisingly gorgeous—a detail you don’t expect but totally appreciate. This spot is officially a must-visit in my book!

Sushi Experience №21

We came here on Christmas day. We had a reservation for 1:30 pm. We arrived and waited almost 30 minutes before we were sat, and we were only sat after we mentioned to the waitress (twice) that we had a reservation and had been waiting well past the time. There were lots of other people waiting who had reservations, too, but they had not been seated either. It appeared that the restaurant was abysmally short staffed, but my thought is - if a restaurant doesn't have enough folks scheduled to work a busy holiday, perhaps it's better to not be open for that day? One woman standing behind us had waited so long, she started calling other restaurants to see what else was open.

We were sat somewhat quickly after addressing the waitress the 2nd time, but service continued to be slow. It was 3:01 pm when we received our food (an hour after sitting down and 1.5 hours from our reservation). When the food came, the waitress quickly dropped the food off and rushed away. She didn't say a word, which feels rude in an industry where customer interaction is paramount. This behavior continued throughout our dining experience. The waitress (a youngish woman, short brown hair with the top portion pulled back) avoided our table most of the time, meanwhile laughing and checking in on other parties seated around us. Her avoidance was obvious, and it made us uncomfortable.

Additionally, it appears as though the menu should be updated. I can only eat gluten free so I ordered an item from the menu that had the GF symbol next to it (which meant the meal could be made GF upon request). There were only 4 or 5 items I could order so I got the poke bowl - not because I really wanted it, but because out of the options it was the only one that seemed filling enough. I wasn't totally aware that the fish would be completely raw (I don't have an extensive history of eating poke), which is no mistake of the waitress, but after staring at the dish for a few minutes, we got the attention of the waitress and I told her, honestly and kindly, that I wouldn't be able to consume raw fish to that scale (there was a lot of it). She agreed to serve me a hibachi dish instead, which was appreciated. I told her I wouldn't be able to eat it, though, because it wasn't GF, but she quickly told me it could be made GF. That wasn't indicated on the menu, or else I would have just ordered that to start with and could have avoided the mixup.

The hibachi was okay at best. Nothing really to write home about.

The one redeeming thing about our experience was the hostess - a sweet woman with short curly black hair with maroon highlights - who checked on us and made sure we had everything we needed. She did more than the waitress!

All in all, I would say my largest complaints were the long wait times, the less than stellar treatment by our waitress, and the out of date menu. We certainly won't be back, but we will always be thankful for the hostess who took great care of us.

After waiting patiently to get seated, and then waiting patiently for 45 minutes - the servers forgot our table and didn’t take our orders. Mediocre food and terrible service. We will not go back. We’ll tell our friends to go somewhere else and save them from the terrible service. 100% not recommended.

Came to visit for the first time and I have to say that from the host not even greeting us, to her taking a long time to sit us, when there was plenty of empty seating. Food also took forever and when it came it was cold. The waitress was doing the best she could, not blaming her! I do believe that they need more training in customer service and quality! Probably they didn't know how to work under pressure. Definitely not coming back. Very disappointed.

Overpriced mediocre food and limited selection of meats. Server was late with said food giving us cold appetizers after we had gotten our main courses. And the sake list consist of only a house hot, 2 unfiltered, and 4 filtered none of which were under $40 or on the dry side. The spicy food we got wasn’t even spicy. If you want an actually good asian cook at your own table bbq go to a Dae Gee or GyuKaku in a big city.

Recently ate there with some friends for a birthday. The service and food was ok but was definitely charged for extra drinks then added gratuity. I get that as I also work in the service industry but three of their cheaper rolls and a couple of drinks for 2 people racked up to 150$ somehow so just beware

As we were finishing our meal the owner came by introduced herself and informed us of their Dim Sum restaurant opening soon next door. I will definitely return to try other items on the menu.

Loved it!
This establishment delivered an outstanding culinary experience that was a blend of traditional sushi craftsmanship with modern flair. The menu boasted an impressive variety of sushi rolls, sashimi, and creative dishes, all featuring exceptionally fresh ingredients.
A standout addition to the menu was the Wagyu, which is expertly prepared and melts in your mouth. The rich, buttery flavor of the Wagyu pairs perfectly with their sushi offerings which was delicious to try and enjoy the variety!
The restaurant’s ambiance is stylish with impressive artwork and inviting, ideal for both intimate dinners and group celebrations. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, always ready to recommend the best pairings or explain the menu.
The combination of fresh sushi and exquisite Wagyu elevated our dining experience to new heights! Thanks again to the bartender she was very attentive making our drinks for our large group. We will definitely return to make new memories with family and friends at Chef 21!

Amazing Wedding Party Experience!

We celebrated our wedding party at this venue, and it was absolutely fantastic! The stylish atmosphere created an incredible vibe for our gathering. With a reservation for 26 people, we appreciated the variety of options—some guests enjoyed sushi, while others indulged in Korean BBQ and hot pot.

We loved that we could savor all our favorite dishes and still leave on time for our downtown photo shoot, especially since some guests had long drives home. The highlight was definitely the Wagyu Anniversary Experience; it was the most delicious meat I've ever tasted! The presentation of the Golden Bull when we ordered the Holy Cow was a fun surprise, and sharing the hot pot made for a delightful experience. The Honeymoon Sushi Boat was a perfect addition!

The cocktails were not only beautiful but also delicious, and the non-alcoholic options, like the Sober Tea, were a hit as well.

Despite the size of our group, the service was exceptionally attentive, and we noticed the staff worked as a team to accommodate our needs. We’ll definitely be back for another experience! Thank you for making our celebration so memorable!

Sushi Experience №49

Worst experience I’ve had in a while! We had a reservation for a table for a friend’s birthday dinner. Reservation was @ 8pm for 16 people. They called the night prior & changed our reservation for 8:15. When you have reservations for 16 people & majority of those people have children who they have rescheduled babysitters for, even a 15 mins difference can be an issue.
We should have realized when we walked in, how dead it was to be a Saturday night in downtown Greenville.
To begin with, our server went missing for a good part of our time there & another 2 servers stepped in. I don’t think he was experienced enough to have a 16 top table! We had multiple people in our party that are servers & couldn’t believe that management would put such an inexperienced server on a large group
Other than him missing & our drinks taking forever to come out, which honestly we expected because we had such a large group, but seeing how dead they were.. I feel like it shouldn’t have taken as long as it did. We even walked upstairs to get drinks from the bar & even waited 15 mins for the bar tender to even acknowledge us, not because she was serving anyone else, because there was literally no one there at this point, but because she was cleaning up & another time she saw us walk up, she walked to the back & we waited another 15 mins before she came out to take our orders. And let me say, we are great tippers!
Once we received our bills, I realized that that there was over $50 worth of food & drinks added to our bill that we didn’t order! When I mentioned it to the server, he proceeded to argue with me that those were the things that we had ordered. Which wasn’t true. When I insisted that he adjust our bill & take off them item, he finally did. However, realizing that he had messed up multiple other people’s bills in our party, he began fixing each bill. It took him an hour to correct everyone’s bills. Then when he brought our bill back, he had another person’s card attached to it. Thankfully he hadn’t ran our check on their card YET, but almost did!. But also irritated that they automatically charge 20% gratuity, because at this point, he made bank off of our table just with the 20% & I personally don’t feel as though it was worth 20%.
The point in me leaving this review is to let futures customers know that if you want to go out to dinner, but you schedule & pay for a sitter, choose wisely before deciding to eat here. You may end up spending majority of your kid free night getting your bill situated & not actually enjoying your kid free night. Our plan was to have a nice dinner in downtown & then stop & have a drink at a bar downtown, before going home. By the time our bill finally was fixed, we ended up having to go straight home to relieve our babysitter. And also, it was very unprofessional of the server to argue with me when I asked him to adjust our bill & take off the items that didn’t belong to us!

It wasn’t too busy when we went, as we are early diners but holy cow (pun intended as that was what we ordered) the service was at the level of Halls Chophouse! She was so sweet and informative without being overbearing.

I couldn’t recommend this place more!! FanTASTIC food. Probably my favorite food place in all of downtown Greenville. It’s on the outskirts, close to yeehaw. The service / staff is so friendly and kind. I only gave them 4 stars for service because they definitely want you to enjoy your time there, so the service is kind of slow. I think it may be intentional though, so that you don’t feel rushed? But the food is made really fresh so it’s worth it. The place is so clean one could lick the floors…haha! Great atmosphere, modern, couches to sit on at your table, good music playing, tvs showing sports and various channels, a bar to sit at if desired, Korean bbq tables or just regular tables if not getting the bbq. I could go on and on haha. The waiter remembered me and my boyfriend when we came back. We had him as a waiter again so in my head I was like “I’ve GOT to leave a review of this place. It’s fantastic in EVERY way!” We got a table on a Friday evening and it was just packed enough but still room for us to get a last minute spot. :) I’ll be returning time and time again!! BIG supporter. I almost didn’t wanna share how good this place is cuz I don’t want it to get TOO crowded hehe. ;) ok enough talking bye now. :P

Review for Delivery:
Order:
2 Sushi Rolls
Ribeye Bibimbap
Brussel Sprouts

Surprise surprise surprise! Even though delivery is the norm, you'd think restaurants would have the process down but nope. I am disappointed by delivery 99.9% of the time. Packaging is junk, food is a greasy, soggy, salty mess--yuck. New to Greenville and tried Chef 21 Sushi Burger and Korean BBQ and it was really good!

If you order delivery, be prepared for exceptional packaging. Clean, neat, no leaks!

The bibimbap was packaged in a portioned tray with an ample amount of kimchi, more than enough rice, steak was just fine--tasty! The rolls were tasty and the star of the show: the Brussel sprouts! I know, odd but damn the Brussel sprouts were good.

None of the food was salty or over sauced and over anything. I will definitely order takeout from here, and will check it out in person soon. Highly recommend!

Unfortunately, we will not be back after spending $190 on our dinner. We had reservations, spent 10 minutes standing up front waiting to be acknowledged to then get sat at the bar being told to look over the menu. Another 20 minutes go by and we are finally acknowledged the second time and given water. We mentioned at this point we were waiting for a BBQ table and then go sat pretty quickly. From there things continued to drag for service, the Korean BBQ items were subpar, meat wasn’t highly flavored but with the Meat Lovers dinner you do get a lot of it. Waitresses were sporadic in when they would stop by to refill a drink which appears to be due to short staffing and trying to serve in the seating section that exists next door. I will say the one sushi item we got was very good but wouldn’t order anything else there especially for the cost.

This place is located in downtown Greenville where there is plenty of street parking. The restaurant is quite huge that they occupy two units in the shopping strip. We were sat in the room with the beautiful water table with soft smoke coming out of it as well. They have relatively a variety of dishes to choose from. I ordered the Miami roll and a basic eel avocado roll and they were both delicious. My friend ordered the sushi burger and it was a big portion. It was very good and you have the option to choose sides with it, such as seaweed salad. The ladies who served us were very attentive and friendly. They checked in on us regularly and made sure that they had our orders correctly, too. Definitely will come back to this place whenever I'm in town again!

When we got here they told us they were busy and it definitely took a while to get the food but wow it was incredible. The avocado grenade was interesting with the hot fried avocado but very good. I really loved the 3 musketeers roll. My boyfriend got the sexy girl roll and the cape Hatteras (mint was a little over powering) but both rolls were really good. We also shared hibachi veggies and the spicy crab meat salad. We ordered too much food but it was all delicious.

They were busy the Tuesday evening we were there and we arrived late to join our group so our personal service was a little scarce but the overall result was great food, great atmosphere and our waitress was great. They were out of cold glasses, and the advertised beer (Kirin) and forgot my husband's beer order and came back and told us the "ASTRO burger" we orderrd was not on that night. However the Chef 21 burger was terrific. Like I said we were 10 minutes late and our waitress overall was lovely.
Will return but will be mindful of what I order as the "boats" although delightful and charming were pricey

We got the BBQ. The food is decent, but the portions were WAY too small for the price. We won’t be going back, and I’m sure we’re not alone.

We have eaten here twice recently and have quickly come to love it. Great food - their spicy tuna roll is the best I've had in the Upstate, and the crab rangoons are fantastic. But ALSO the atmosphere is funky and fun with art and interesting decor, and the service is SO friendly and fun too.

Edit: changing from my five star review because of my recent experiences. I’ve come back here multiple times since I tried it and liked it but almost every time I’ve ordered online they cancel my order and tell me they’ve run out of the item I ordered. Not only that but the last time me and my boyfriend ordered for pickup they forgot to give us one spicy tuna roll so my bf called and we asked for a refund for that item which they agreed to and THEY NEVER GAVE IT. It’s been two weeks since I want my money back. Also my bf has ordered in the past and they ran out of what we wanted and the Uber eats driver had to inform us and we had to call the restaurant to cancel our order for a refund and they never did it even though they said they would so we had to cancel it through Uber. Truly unprofessional give me my refund thieves.

I ordered on April 26th and the price was $63.39 (this was NOT an Uber eats order it was a call in pick up order) I’ve been checking my bank and have not received any sort of reduction or refund. Either your employees need to have better memory or write what you promise to your customers down.

I won’t be eating here again.

This place is actually adorable. I have been here twice now. One time was for a party of 12 and the other was a party of 5. The main dinning room has a moon/outerspace them to it and it’s a little darker lighting wise. There are the BBQ tables there, some tea booths, tables, and a bar. The back room had a bar, a few tables, and a really cool long table with a fountain running through it! The food was great, and my favorite drink is the Sober Tea, but you can add alcohol if needed. Everyone enjoyed their food from the sushi, sushi burger, chicken, Korean BBQ, to the fried avocado. It was all delicious. They also did a dry ice smoke for the party of 12, so that was fun. I crab Rangoons texture wasn’t my favorite and there is a fake tree that kept hitting my tall friend’s head, but besides that we had a blast! Also the playlist was soul & rnb which we loved! I definitely will be going back!

I do not give five stars lightly, but Chef 21 absolutely deserves it! The entire experience was fantastic. The sushi rolls are very good and not the same typical rolls you can get anywhere. They are well made with a good rice to fish ratio. Lately, I have noticed other sushi places trimming the fish, adding more rice, AND charging more.... Not the case here. Very fresh and beautifully prepared!! I appreciate that Chef 21 is respectful to their customers that way.

The Korean BBQ is fun to do, sure, but here especially, because the options are diverse and delicious.

The staff was attentive and the restaurant has a nice vibe. The prices are reasonable and the portions are spot-on. Great experience all around!!

Sushi was very good, some of my favorite in the area. The Hawaii roll is what I got and I loved it. THE CRAB RANGOON ARE THE BEST I'VE HAD. Staff was friendly and helpful. Menu is a bit much, but sounds like they are revamping it.

As a Korean, I was excited to try this Korean BBQ place on April 8th. Unfortunately, I was deeply disappointed. The food and service did not reflect authentic Korean BBQ at all. I'm unsure if the owner is Korean, but the experience certainly wasn't.

The portion sizes were miserly (only two slices of pickled korean radish!!!), and we had to ask for additional sides(more Kimchi and more slices of pickled Korean radish), which they charged us extra for. The total bill came to almost $13 more than we anticipated. If you go to any Korean restaurant, they don't charge you guys for additional sides, but this place will charge you. I won't be returning to this establishment and will caution my friends against going here.

I was excited to go all week after I learned about this place, then my wife said she could see the disappointment on my face halfway through dinner. Its started off great...Drinks and gyoza and Rangoons were all good. The BBQ was pretty average. Meat portions are small and expensive. Half my wife's beef were just chunks of fat with the tiniest nibble of meat attached. The corn shouldn't even be on the menu, it doesn't fit in at all. I expected it to be on the cob and grilled, like I saw the cobs in a picture on the menu. Instead it was an aluminum dish of canned corn with cheese...and thats exactly how it tasted. One little taste and the rest was left wasted. My daughter had a basic sushi roll, which was quality and actually quite good for not being a specialty roll. Still wondering if its worth going back to try other things like the hotpot and more of the sushi. The side of the restaurant we were on was pretty empty, so maybe that was a clue after all.

server gave us our tab while we still had food on the table and food in our mouths. we had only ordered appetizers and had planned on ordering more food and maybe a cocktail for dessert. she didn’t ask ONCE before bringing our tab, she automatically had it ready when she asked “anything else”, my mouth was full so i just gave a thumbs up and she dropped off the check. i was willing to let it go and order more but she came back TWO MINUTES later and asked “is this ready?” Even after telling her she had dropped off the check too soon and we planned on ordering more food she never came back. we felt so uncomfortable and left as soon as we were done with our appetizers. Honestly, i felt like we were profiled. i’ve taken several parties there and spent hundreds of dollars; needless to say we will never be back.

Best atmosphere and delicious food. We got the Korean army hot pot and split a roll of sushi and it was exquisite. We went around Halloween so the restaurant was decorated for the occasion making for a very cool atmosphere. I had a Carmel Apple martini that tasted just like a Carmel Apple from the orchard and the witches brew cocktail that was refreshingly fruity with a sugar sprinkle rim and both were amazing.

We did the meat lovers with a side of kimchi and cheese corn, and it was so good. Everything was well seasoned and marinated! Every piece of meat was tender, and the kimchi was great, too!

Our waitress was lovely and super kind to my kiddo I brought along. It's well worth the money, and we're dying to go again.

If you're looking for KBBQ, I'd recommend this place for sure.

***EDIT: This review was written not long after the opening of the restaurant; they now have alcohol and actual KBBQ!***

The decor of this place is awesome and I loved the Korean spicy chicken appetizer and avocado bomb! However, I am giving 3 stars due to their misleading advertising. They do NOT have actual Korean BBQ (no grills, no family style meat platters to cook, etc), just a few Korean-inspired dishes and one Korean hot pot. This was disappointing for my table as we were super excited for a real Korean BBQ place to open in Greenville. Also, in my opinion, this place does not adequately advertise that they are BYOB! Good thing there's a Publix a short walk away...I don't believe "BYOB" was posted on their doors (if it is, it was not large enough for me to notice), and BYOB isn't specified on their website. Overall, I would come back (more prepared, now that I know a more accurate description) because I liked the food and atmosphere and the service was good, but wish they were clearer on what to expect. They are doing a great job for a new place, but I think they should definitely not brand themselves as "Korean BBQ" - it is just not true.

My partner reserved the Date Night Romance package for our anniversary. Our original reso was at 7, but we asked to push it back an hour, which they seemingly happily rescheduled. We arrived at the restaurant (which we expected to be much much nicer given the price of the package) and were told that they "did not have time" to set up our table, even with the extra hour. We were sat in a large booth at the front of the restaurant by the host stand. They brought out a bouquet of 11 roses and one bunch of baby's breath eventually, but there were no candles, and we never received any other portion of the package. They did agree to refund us, which we do appreciate. However, my partner was so excited to have put together something special for us, and Chef 21 was such a letdown. The waitstaff were in leggings and t-shirts and there are neon signs everywhere. The old-fashioned we got was not good at all (too much ice and not enough sugar). The food was pretty good, but the night was ruined for him. This seemed like a fun spot for sushi with friends, but do not expect it to be a romantic date night by any means. And don't hold your breath that they will honor your experience booking!

Came tonight with my wife to celebrate her birthday. The service from the start was off. We had a reservation for 7:30pm. We went online to make our reservation for earlier and there were plenty of time slots open. So we decided to head to the restaurant. When we arrived at the restaurant there were plenty of seats only one small group at a table. But the greeting was not pleasant and staff at the front gave us the vibe that we should have came earlier. We watched how pleasant and interactive the front staff and management was with others compared to us as they came in. We were made to feel stupid for coming sooner but the restaurant was empty. Also we ordered a Boba and were brought a different one of their choice. As an owner in the food industry this is a huge disappointment from a customer service experience standpoint. Food for us is always great but this was our first time at this location. It wasn’t until the bar tender recognized us and she came over and apologized for our experience but she did nothing wrong. That is when the experience changed and the staff was nice as we were ready to leave.

So my mom and I loooove this place! We’ve come here several times. Their sushi is easily one of the best places to have it, it’s affordable annnnd a pretty good size. My entire family went last week and mostly everyone was happy with our food. We had sushi, Korean fried chicken, a sushi burger and ramen. The sushi burger thing was a bit dense for my sister, but she mostly enjoyed it and the ramen was not enjoyed by my other sister. Everything else, everyone enjoyed… other sister liked and had leftovers from the Korean fried chicken, my mom and I shared two popular rolls. We also all shared dumplings and rangoons (THE BEST ITEM ON THE MENU). Anyways, just don’t have the ramen, but everything else is fire!

This place’s atmosphere was amazing. The moment my brother and I walked through the door we were greeted with nice music (the R&B that we both listen to on the daily). The decor is so cool too.
We had a very amazing waitress (she had curly hair and a nose piercing). She was nice and patient, but most of all very attentive. She stopped by and always made sure we were taken care of.
I highly recommend dining here.
The Kimchi rice that was in the Chicken Bibimbap was soooo good, it even took away the initial fear I had of kimchi since I’ve only had bad store bought kimchi 😂.

If you’re looking for a nice quiet spot that looks cool and has good food and nice music, I highly recommend here!
Oh! And the little rose details on the napkins is sick! I wanted to take it home with me until I noticed they were napkins and not little utensil holders 😂

Truth be told, atmosphere could have been higher but there were three very drunk people sitting at bar being disruptive, cursing loudly and ruining it for other patrons. Other than that atmosphere is just odd and kitschy. Server was great, seated right away, food came out quickly. Had a specialty drink that they labeled an old fashioned (should not be associated with an d fashioned). Drinks stayed empty and water served was room temp. Food itself was ok (has the bbq chicken and wife had the chef 21 sushi burger). Not making our go to again list - one and done for us. Too many other places to try.

Had an absolute wonderful experience last night at Chef 21 Sushi Burger and Korean BBQ with my friend. The staff and owner were wonderful & inviting, the space & decor were awesome and the food! 🔥🤤

My friend had a house cocktail margarita made with mango puree & house made sour (I had a NA version) and it was delicious. We then ordered the Korean Spicy Chicken for a starter. It was hot, fresh, and delicious. The spicy Korean hot sauce that came with it was awesome.

We struggled to make a decision on what to do as the menu is incredible, so we asked our server for some recommendations & if there were any house specials that evening. The owner heard this and came over herself to tell us all about their offerings. She actually offered us a special 9 course chefs tasting dinner as they had overprepared for an earlier tasting menu seating. OMG! I may possibly have had the best dinner of my life!

It stared off with hands down the best ceviche I've ever had (tuna, lobster, salmon, King crab, & scallop)... the liquid was so good we both drank it down after finishing! Then the nigiri Sushi started to roll in... first tuna belly with a caviar paste and mini jalapeño slice, then a type of whitefish topped with caviar, followed by a different type of whitefish with scallion & edible gold flakes, then torched lobster, and THEN the most succulent scallop nigiri I've ever had, & bluefin tuna with caviar and gold flakes. Then an incredible rare A5 waygu with truffle salt followed by a seared scallop. Then a traditional Chinese spicy stir fry with bbq short rib that was the best I've ever had. The meal was finished off by a specialty Musk Melon that was decadent.

If you ever get the chance, go and experience this! They have my business for sure.

Oh, and btw... they will soon be having a Hangover Ramen Brunch!!!

This has been one of the best dining experiences I have had in quite some time. Let me say that it is a rare experience that you can order so many items from a menu and have every single one impress! Our family ordered for apps the Korean BBQ chicken, the crab rangoons, and the avocado grenades. All were fantastic and the rangoons were easily the best I have ever had! Then we had 5 different sushi rolls and I ordered the sushi burger. Let. Me. Tell. You. It all was so fantastic. It’s easy to understand why sushi burger is in the name of the restaurant! Not to mention the environment inside was super cool! One of the owners came out and asked if we were happy with the meal. I seriously told her how good it was and even though we were from Columbia, I had told my kids this is where I wanted my birthday party 😉. She then offered a tour of the tea room next door and it was sooooooo cool. Amazing tea bar with an amazing live edge table with a running river through it! Not to mention karaoke, cool furniture, and a cotton candy vending machine! This place is legendary already. She needs to open one in Columbia!

This place popped up after we Googled and Yelped for sushi places near our hotel. There were a few options, but we figured we would try this place out because it served sushi and Korean food. Our waitress, Skylar, was awesome! She took good care of us and she was very sweet.

We ordered the Sexy Girl Roll and the Atlantis Roll and they were both great. The presentation for their sushi was also pretty awesome. For their Korean food, we ordered Bulgogi Ribeye Bibimbap. My personal opinion…it was good and the portion was big, but I feel like the price ($33) was just a bit high. My close friends are Korean and we’ve been to some great Korean BBQs and I don’t think I’ve ever seen bibimbap that expensive. But like I said, that’s just my personal opinion.

Overall, it was a great experience and we would go back whenever we’re back in Greenville. I think they said that they’ve only been open a little over a month and I feel like they’ll be there for a while. I definitely recommend it.
