Update: It's been a while since I was in MESU... (Disclosure.. My daughter now works here) We just went in for a drink at the bar prior to dinner. The bar is long & spacious. A perfect spot to sit & relax. The staff are so helpful and knowledgeable about the drinks. The place has a great vibe with lots of tables busy with big groups of people celebrating various events. MESU appears to be a great venue for this & still it didn't feel overcrowded.

Mesu is a one of a kind experience! The fact that you can order sushi and Mexican dishes together is what sold us. Drinks: Strawberry Margarita, Mango Margarita Food: Pico Shrimp Taco Bao Bun Tsunami Roll (Tempura Shrimp, Salmon, Avocado, Truffled Soy Sauce, Eel Sauce, Pickled Onions) King Street Roll (Tuna, Escolar, Tempura Shrimp, Spicy Tuna, Wasabi Aioli, Scallions, Black Tobiko) Churro of the Day - Caramel Everything was fresh and the pairings of food in each dish went so well together. I know Mesu said that have bold flavors, and their food stands up to that! So fresh and amazing flavor from start to finish. The atmosphere is also such a cool vibe. Lots of unique artwork and pieces, great music, and great staff.

Such a good vibe. They played different types of music. The Tsunami sushi roll was delicious. And the house margarita was great.

I'm just going to go ahead & give them 5 stars!! This place is such a vibe and I can't wait to return to try the rest of the tacos & sushi I didn't get to try!! The cocktails were fabulous and the service was excellent!! My favorite was the A5 Wagyu Philly taco, it will change your life!!

Mexican? Sushi? Why pick one when you can have BOTH? Located on Upper King, Mesu combines two of my *favorite* cuisines to bring us some bold, flavorful & delicious bites This spot is a VIBE with moody, colorful ambiance and is the perfect way to kick off a fun evening in downtown Charleston. What I ate/drank/loved: Tequila Crush Margarita Pitcher Chips & Dip Trio Bao Buns Habanero Glazed Edamame Street Corn Skewers Ceviche Taco Platter Sushi Platter Churros The staff really brought the party for our crew with sparklers, margarita pitchers, a massive sushi platter & tons of shareable plates making this is a great spot for a bachelorette party, birthday or just a fun night with a group of friends! Pro Tip: They offer sushi platters to-go with up to 125 pieces of sushi so keep them in mind for your next event

I'm in love. Pull me away and I may always look back wondering why I ever doubted a Mexican Sushi restaurant. I am fairly certain I openly scoffed at such concepts before but I am drifting into food bliss and may never return. One thing about Charleston is by and large the food is delicious but there is delicious and there's this. I walked past Mesu pausing to notice the bright colors with the slightly industrial look. I felt an art vibe and was drawn in to sit at the bar. Ally, bartender extraordinaire, was brilliant. Here's the thing - I am here on business travel. For ten hours all I did was think, think, talk, talk and it gets exhausting. To sit at a bar and have someone say this is the best drink and the best rolls with such confidence that it was indisputable truth? Oh hell yea. I ordered Ally's recommendations and I was so very happy with them! The Barbacoa beef taco was brilliant. Tender beef, bright cheese, good texture. The Hamachi Tale was a great balance, flavorful, great texture, brilliant. The oyster shooter was among the best I have ever had. The cocktails in their cute Patron glasses were amazing. They were light, smooth, and perhaps too easy to drink. I couldn't want for more. It was a delight. I regretfully left because work called but I am glad to have stopped in here.

Great food, great prices, great drinks. I visited from Texas and found this establishment on yelp. I had to give it a try and I wasn't disappointed. Took my mom and it was low key and a great vibe. Several happy hour cocktails and food items to choose from. Big portions and very hospitable hostess and servers. Fish tacos and sushi were excellent selections. The margarita was flavorful and had a small kick to it. If your in the area give it a try and have yourself an enjoyable day.
