Your Guide to Eating and Drinking in Charleston, South Carolina
I took a little hiatus from reviewing, but I’m back and I’m another year older (and hopefully wiser). Last week I turned 22 and I had mixed feelings about it because I feel like 21 is more my aesthetic (and I have to change the header on my website); but I bet 22 will bring exciting things! I started off 22 strong with dinner at 167 Raw, which I’ve been wanting to go to for a while now. It was definitely worth the wait and the seafood was as fresh as advertised.
Poke is a new trend (for us on the mainland) nowadays and I am fully on board with it. I would imagine most people’s favorite part of sushi is the fish itself or the delicious accompaniments, while my favorite part has always been the sushi rice. Whenever I go to Japanese restaurants, I always ask for a bowl of sushi rice as my side. That being said, poke is pretty much a dream come true for me. It makes the sushi rice the star it has always wanted to be and then the toppings make it even better. So thank you, Poke Tea House, for satisfying my sushi rice obsession.
