flaming fin Asian cuisine and sushi bar — Restaurant in Myrtle Beach

Dearest Reader,

If you are weighing your options for Asian cuisine in Myrtle Beach, stop now. I've just made the choice for you. My husband, self and two children came to this fine dining establishment for a little sushi action and we found so much more.

For starters, we met our waiter Burke. Truly and upstanding gentleman. He was personable, playful, upfront and intriguing. We got to know him better during our visit and we have to say, it's sad to consider that we may never see him again. Regardless, our stories will be forever intertwined.

The bartender, who's name I don't know but who looked akin to Charlize Theron was kind, joyful and attentive to her customers. There was an air of confidence and grace about her as she crossed the room multiple times and as she visited our table as well.

Every food item Burke brought out played like a ukulele on all of our senses. Gentle yet robust flavors. Smooth textures. Simply delicious and filling. So much so that we took our main entree to-go (it was late for our children or we might have stayed late into the night.

The atmosphere of this restaurant was inviting. A cool, relaxed yet playful atmosphere. You feel like some sort of star and while staff moved easily throughout like a well-oiled wheel, you could sense the ease and peace with which they operate. Our every need was met, often before we had even considered the need. Truly, impressive establishment. Should we ever return to this area, we expect we will visit the...

Listen, if I could give The Flaming Fin six stars and a standing ovation, I would — but Google won’t let me!

I had the sesame chicken, and let me tell you, it was so good I nearly wept. Perfectly crispy, saucy in all the right ways, and basically the chicken equivalent of a mic drop. My husband had the lobster roll and salad, and after one bite, he stared off into the distance like he was having a flashback to a past life as a happy fisherman. The man ascended.

Prices? Shockingly reasonable. Like, we ate like royalty and didn’t have to pawn anything. The service was top-tier — warm, fast, and so on point that I started wondering if they’d been secretly trained by Disney and Gordon Ramsay at the same time.

If you're on the fence about trying The Flaming Fin, hop off that fence and RUN there. Your stomach, your soul, and your budget will thank you. And honestly, if I ever go missing, check table 7 — I might’ve...

First time coming here was on 8/3/24 and Felicia walked us through the menu and gave us plenty of recommendations. The restaurant itself is well laid out and has an area to eat and an area to hang out at the bar and watch the televisions.

Food was presentation was exceptional. Best presentation we have had in Myrtle.

The food was fresh and tasted really good.

We had edamame, The Lobster Roll, 501 Roll, and the Rock N Roll. Zero complaints on the rolls or pricing or service. So good to have an alternative to our usual 3-4 places for sushi.

The left over lobster meat was tempura battered and fried with mango slices. This was great 100% utilization of the lobster meat.

Next time I go, I plan on trying some...
