About Konnichiwa of Florence

On W Evans St in Florence, Konnichiwa of Florence is a Japanese restaurant where chicken and vegetables are cooked hibachi-style on a tableside grill in front of guests. Table service handles orders, and the wider menu runs to 151 dishes, including bowls like the jumbo shrimp bowl, prime rib bowl, and steak bowl alongside sushi rolls such as the California roll and Reidville Roll. Starters include the House Ginger Salad, Seaweed Salad, and Special Wings, with fried rice offered as a side. The restaurant opens daily and takes walk-ins, and a line can form at busy times, though it tends to move quickly. Takeout orders are placed by phone rather than online.

Customer Review Summary

Sushi draws the most attention, praised as fresh, flavorful, and clean tasting, with one newcomer to sushi crediting the restaurant for changing their mind about it entirely. Close behind, the bowls come up repeatedly, from the jumbo shrimp bowl and steak bowl to the Sesame Chicken, with one regular saying the chicken bowls are always delicious, alongside quick service and a server singled out as attentive. A few diners also describe the hibachi chicken as moist and well seasoned. The clearest recurring complaint centers on takeout consistency: one reviewer describes two separate orders where vegetables came out overcooked and browned, then a follow up order arrived mostly rice with little zucchini or broccoli, prompting a request for a refund. Another notes a side of fried rice that tasted like plain steamed rice with soy sauce added rather than actually fried. A couple of reviewers also mention trouble reaching the restaurant by phone to place takeout orders.

    “The sushi is absolutely wonderful. However I also got a side of fried rice, but the rice is not fried. It taste like they just added soy sauce to the water when they steamed the rice and called it fried rice so incredibly disappointing. I …”

    “We got a takeout order and tried calling, but the line disconnected right away. I don’t think their phone is working consistently. I do wish they had an online ordering website, as that would make it much easier for customers to order …”

    “Driving back to Virginia from Tampa, we needed to stop for gas and lunch. I was really craving some Asian food, and what a pleasant surprise—we found Konichiwa in Florence, GA! …”
  • Itz_Travonte
    “The food was so good and my server Dio was very attentive and nice. Also wanted to say that the food came out really quick.”
  • Valarie Platt
    “I’m reaching out regarding my last two takeout orders. Unfortunately, both experiences have been disappointing. The first time, the vegetables were overcooked and brown. I didn’t take photos then, but I decided to give it another try. This time, while the food looked good when I first opened the container, I noticed once I started serving my plate that there was very little zucchini or broccoli, and the portion was mostly rice. I’ve attached photos from this order to show what I received. I was really hoping for better consistency, especially after giving it a second chance. I’d appreciate it if you could look into this and let me know if a refund or credit is possible. Thank you for your time.”
