Japanese restaurant opens in Nexton
FU-O BBQ, a Japanese restaurant, scheduled a soft opening in Summerville on Oct. 13 and 14 at 44 Sigma Drive.
The restaurant touts that dining there is “more than just a meal — it’s an experience.” Its service is inspired by the Japanese tradition of yakiniku, meaning “grilled meat.” With a smokeless grill at every table, guests can gather around to cook and dine together on premium cuts of beef, chicken, pork and fresh vegetables.
Meals included shared plates, Japanese marinades and sauces, a raw oyster bar and a signature cocktail list that includes sake and soju, as well as local Charleston beers.
