Top Best Japanese Restaurants in Pawleys Island

"For our sushi lovers out there, King Kong Sushi is a must stop for delicious and fresh Asian cuisine!. Their menu features exciting sushi roll options such as their 007 Roll and Russian Roulette Roll. For those that aren’t sushi fans, they also serve traditional Japanese hibachi style dishes."

"After a busy day exploring Broadway at the Beach several years ago, we weren’t sure where to eat, as vegan options here seemed daunting. But when we passed by King Kong Sushi we decided to give this Asian bistro a try. The outdoor patio facing Lake Broadway sealed the deal."

"Break the burgers-and-fries routine for some excellent Japanese cuisine that's good to go in more ways than one. Chef and owner Jimmy is a bit of a local legend, operating several other Japanese restaurants and catering services over the years, but now he has his own place and a loyal local following. Patrons can dine in, but the carry-out window makes for a quick and convenient way to enjoy a hot meal at home or your hotel room."

"Owner Jimmy Miller has created a quick-serve hibachi house that attracts customers of all ages who crave his beef, chicken and fresh seafood hibachi meals, plus creative wraps, salads and a small sushi menu. It’s quick, cheap, fresh and oh-so-addictive. He also makes his mom’s recipe for Beef Bulgogi."

"We're doing hibachi the way it's supposed to be done delicious, healthy, generous portions, premium ingredients and piping hot off the grill. We proudly serve ..."

"E Noodles & Co on 20th Avenue South was the first restaurant Noah and I went to for dinner in Myrtle Beach many years ago. We walked over from Hampton Inn & Suites Myrtle Beach Oceanfront (About 10 minutes) after an employee at the hotel told us she heard they had amazing veggie dishes. Noah loved the vegetable fried rice and we added tofu to ours with Edamame on the side."

"There used to be two locations, but this is the only one left. What’s great about E Noodles is they take their dishes a half-step above typical Asian fare (try the crispy-fried tofu), but they don’t take it up so far that it’s too pricey."

"Yamato’s claims to be South Carolina’s original Japanese Steakhouse. The dining room is dim and communal with the clinking and clattering of utensils on the flat top griddle only interrupted by random spurts of laughter, thrilled by the Teppanyaki theatrics – most people are in awe of the onion volcano but the showstopper is when the chef molds the mound of rice into the shape of an heart and then uses his spatula to make it look like its beating. If you’re fortunate, chef Ken will roll his cart to your table."

"Found at Myrtle Beach hot spot Broadway at the Beach and known as the “best-tasting show in Myrtle Beach” since 1996, this casual Japanese restaurant offers a range of Tappanyaki treats such as hibachi-cooked chicken, shrimp, steak, lobster and scallops, all served with fried rice and fresh vegetables. A selection of sushi and sashimi offerings is also available here. Visit to see the full menu."

"Take a quick trip to Japan during your Myrtle Beach stay with this delicious sushi and hibachi restaurant. Yamato Steakhouse has been a local and visitor favorite for years at Broadway at the Beach…and we don’t see that changing anytime soon!. Enjoy grilled seafood, beef, poultry, vegetables, fried rice, and sushi all while your chef cooks and entertains right in front of you."

"For more than 17 years, Soho has been serving delicious food to Grand Strand locals and tourists alike. After relocating just across the street from their original location, they opened Rooftop21, an open-air rooftop lounge with great views and cool breezes. Soho provides upscale dining and posh nightlife in an atmosphere that is comfortable and relaxing."

"This dig offers an excellent, eclectic scene and plenty of outdoor seating. You can sit on the rooftop or outside around the building at SOHO Rooftop 21. They offer lunch and dinner, and have a great happy hour menu with specials on drinks from 4pm - 7pm and specials on food from 4pm - 6pm daily."

"Found on St. James Avenue near Myrtle Beach Mall in Myrtle Beach, this hidden gem delivers a menu filled with flavorful Asian options as Japanese salads, rice bowls, noodle bowls, fried rice, stir fry vegetables, stir fry noodles and more. Tucked into a corner unit within a Myrtle Beach residential/retail district, the quaint restaurant has developed a loyal local following with its lunch and dinner offerings, and meals here can be enjoyed on the restaurant’s small patio deck or its cozy indoor dining area. Explore the full menu here."

"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."

"Found on 38th Avenue North in Myrtle Beach, this family-run Japanese eatery prepares delicious dining options including specialty appetizers (such as edamame, seaweed salad and dumplings), grilled combos, rice bowls and sushi (maki and makimono), as well as a lineup of express bowls for diners in a hurry. Visit to explore the full menu."

"I don't like them as much as the rice, but a little change is nice every so often ?. A post shared by Bridget Dillon (@onebusybee) on Oct 16, 2013 at 8:38pm PDT. This hibachi spot (open ’til midnight for you night owls!) uses oil instead of butter in its fried rice, veggies, and tofu."

"The menu is filled with standout comfort food favorites, but the real star of the show is “The Five Five Challenge.” Your task: eat a burger stacked seven patties deep (55 ounces of meat!), with at least four toppings, a side of fries and a 24-ounce soda, all in 30 minutes or less. While many brave eaters have attempted the feat, only few have won. May the fork be with you."

"Good food.I got there in time for the special and ordered two which was much less than the regular price. Was disappointed they didn't..."
