As for sushi, especially that off of the beaten path, you cant beat Oriental Garden in Mt. P off of Coleman Blvd. The owner (who is also the sushi maker) has been making charleston’s best rolls for the last 20 years. While the outside of the restaurant looks like a Chinese carry out dive the inside is delightfully comfy, if a little kitsch. Hands down the most fun and delicious sushi in the Lowcountry

Sadly, the Daily Dose is no more. However, Dell’z Deli downtown has a similarly fresh and delicious menu fit for vegans, vegetarians and omnivores alike!

Thanks for this thought-out list, Lisa. I completely agree that Charleston is the food capital of the South. Next time I go, I’m consulting this list. I’ve been wanting to check out Alluettes Cafe ever since I went veg.

I love Taco Boy, but in my book, it ain’t cheap since most tacos are priced at four bucks each.

I like Poe’s burgers, but IMO, Sesame’s are out of this world. And you’ll notice that I wrote Sushi Bar/Asian Bistro/Playworld, etc… if you’re going for sushi alone, Wasabi’s good, but Shiki on East Bay is best hands-down. AND cheaper. Wasabi and Tsunami are more of a scene than I tend to go for.

Cheers!

I lived in Charleston for four years and this is a pretty good list. I have to agree with Poe’s beating out Sesame, but just barely. It’s mostly the fries that give it the edge.

Good call on Daily Dose, and Surf Bar.

Honorable mentions: Voodoo Lounge and Gene’s in West Ashley. Taco Boy on Folly Beach. Fast & French Gaulart-Maliclet on Broad st.

However, I gotta disagree with some of these. Best burger in town has gotta be Poe’s Tavern, on Sullivan’s Island. Best Sushi has always been voted as Wasabi. (With Tsunami as a close runner up.) Are they off the beaten path? Absolutely not. But they’re definetly the best.
