"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.

"Chef Heidi Kukov is the culinary grand dame of Myrtle Beach. Her first endeavor, Croissant’s Bistro & Bakery brought forth build-your-own bloody marys, mango mimosas, and croque madames, launching a spot for brunch snobs. Her most recent project Hook and Barrel is the purest example of the dining scene in Myrtle Beach going from shabby to snazzy."

"One of the most beautiful and hip restaurants in Myrtle Beach, with an upscale menu and quality food ingredients to match, is Hook & Barrel.
