Voted "Best of the Upstate", here's a sampling of what our customers have had to say about their dining experience at Irashiai:

What an amazing place Irashiai is! My husband and I eat here on average 2-4 times a month! The service has been impeccable every time! I can not rave about the service too much....... everyone is so nice and treats us like family! We are excited to be apart of it! Thanks for all your great hospitality! We will always come back!!!!!!! Thanks, Ann G

Love your sushi soooo much...travel often and miss home! I haven't found ANYWHERE with mussels like yours! (or any of the other dishes for that matter)...there's no place like home! - Darla

The new restaurant looks great! We brought the kids in last week for their first time and they thought it looked so neat! You are a little closer to our home now so I hope that means we will get to come more often! I am also thrilled to hear you are doing lunch! You will have to be my new lunch spot! - Rennie & Steve "Doc" Newman

Thank you for the warm hugs and hospitality of you and your staff - Mark McLean

Amazing! That is the best way to describe the food and service at Irashiai. My husband and I went in Saturday night for our anniversary and were treated like royalty. Mimi even let me brag about my twin boys and how cute/sweet/wonderful they were. She is the best! Our server helped us out when we were looking for something different to eat. The Volcano Roll was very tasty! Thank you Mimi and group for giving Greenville something to be proud of. We love it and will continue to "treat" ourselves by coming to Irashiai!!!!!! - Wendy and Chris Garrison, Greer, SC

Mimi, thank you so much for having us for dinner last night. As usual, my girlfriend and I had the best time and we are looking forward to your grand opening in July. - Hayes Mercer

The first place that I ever ate sushi was at your restaurant. Ihave to say that I still to this date have never had anything that compares to your place. During my time in greenville I became a regular, eating dinner at your place once or maybe even twice a week. You guys are seriously the best sushi restaurant that this guy has ever seen! Ken-san rocks. Mimi is one in a million. - Matt

"I ate at your retaurant last night and was thrilled with the quality of the food and the fantastic service. I have eaten at many sushi retaurants including those in Japan and to date the sushi and sashimi you served was the best. Be back soon and often!" - Bradley Dunkel

"I had a great time at your restaurant over new year's. It's always a great time at Irashiai! Hope to be back soon!" - David G., Minnesota

"As former regulars from years past, I still will say that Irashiai is THE BEST Sushi anywhere. We live in Charlotte, NC now and have tried many different Sushi restaurants here and none come close to you guys. You are incredible and well worth the 2 hour drive. We hope to visit again soon!" - Jason & Amy Dickey

"Just wanted you to know how much I enjoyed the meal that you prepared for me,my brother and sister-in-law. Jim, Janet and I enjoyed  the fine food and atmosphere tremendously!! We enjoyed every dish that was brought to our table, especially the green-lipped mussel dish. I wish you and your talented husband much success. When we find ourselves in the good ol' south again we will certainly be visiting you and your incredible establishment! Jim,Janet and I had a dinner we will not soon forget." - Kathleen Nieman, Cleveland, Ohio
