The 24 Best Restaurants In Charleston - Charleston - The Infatuation

"When it comes to sushi in Charleston, it’s hard to beat the omakase menu at this NoMo spot. You’ll get 14 courses of nigiri like bluefin tuna from Baja, snow crab with miso butter, and North Carolina crab topped with caviar. The space and experience are pretty intimate, with only 14 seats and 10 seatings per week. But it's the kind of place where you’ll talk with the chefs extensively about the sea bream that got flown here practically first-class from Japan and nerd out on sake with all the couples sitting next to you. Speaking of sake, the flight is a must, as Sushi-Wa has a lengthy list put together by one of the chefs (who also happens to be the only certified sake sommelier in the state)." - jai jones, emily yates
