167 Sushi Bar
Charleston, SC · Japanese
Tier 3 · Menu claim only What the tiers mean
This listing's current published materials advertise Wagyu, but the offering does not meet our full verification standard for provenance. It carries no authenticity badge; undisclosed details remain explicitly unverified.
Why it's listed
An Ansonborough sushi and izakaya counter from the 167 Raw family, pairing a rotating raw bar with a hot kitchen. The printed menu lists nigiri only as a daily selection at market price rather than naming each fish, and A5 Wagyu has appeared in that selection tagged simply as Japanese. The kitchen also runs Wagyu specials from time to time, including Wagyu skewers and a Wagyu cheesesteak bao. Because both the nigiri list and the specials change daily, Wagyu is not guaranteed on any given night. Open Monday to Saturday from noon, closed Sundays.
Authenticity flags
- Wagyu is not a fixed item here. The printed menu lists nigiri only as a daily selection at market price, and Wagyu has also appeared as a rotating kitchen special, so it may not be available on the night you visit. Where it has appeared it is identified only as Japanese with an A5 grade, with no prefecture, farm or brand named. Call ahead if you are coming for the Wagyu.

Common questions
- Does 167 Sushi Bar serve real Wagyu?
- Its own current menu advertises Wagyu, and that claim was read directly on July 22, 2026. What the menu does not do is say which Wagyu: no prefecture, grade, breed status or producer is published, so the sourcing cannot be checked from outside. That is a gap in what is written down rather than a suggestion that anything is wrong with the beef, and plenty of kitchens buy carefully without printing the details.
- What kind of Wagyu does 167 Sushi Bar serve?
- Its menu discloses A5 Japanese. Each of those is taken from the venue's own current materials rather than from a review or a listing site, and the evidence behind it is quoted further down this page.
- Why is 167 Sushi Bar listed without a Wagyu badge?
- Because a badge here means the sourcing was checked, not that the food is good. This listing is published because the venue genuinely advertises Wagyu on its own current material, and it carries no badge because that material does not say which Wagyu. If the venue publishes the prefecture, grade, breed status or producer, the listing can move.
