I normally don't eat sushi at Teppanaki places. Their focus is the grill and the show not the sushi. I drove up to Greenville to visit an old fiend (actually a young friend) and she suggested that we go to Mimi's. I arrived at Mimi's first and asked whether they had table service. Fortunately they did. Since my friend and I wanted to catch up, I thought a table would be better than group seating at the grill.

After looking over the menus, I ordered a sashimi appetizer and the prime rib from the grill. When my sashimi arrived, I was pleasantly surprised. The sashimi was excellent, tasty and firm. On the other hand our waiter failed to bring a dish for soy sauce.

When our meals arrived the hot food was excellent. The steak was absolutely perfect — done rare and tender. The service overall was below par. In addition to the soy sauce dish, our waitress was slow in giving us refills. My friend and I both use chopsticks but to eat my fried rice off of a plate I asked for a spoon (bad habit I picked up on Guam). The waitress looked at me funny and brought me a plastic spoon. Do they really not have metal spoons?

Mimi's Steakhouse of Japan very good sashimi — below average service.
