A playful, intimate omakase raw bar bringing serious sushi to Charleston — a city far better known for shrimp and grits than for nigiri. Raw Lab leans into the contrast: a counter experience built on pristine fish, inventive raw preparations, and a loose, fun energy that doesn't take itself too seriously. In a Southern food town, it's a small, surprising outlier — proof that Charleston's dining scene reaches well beyond its Lowcountry roots. Grab a counter seat and let the chef run.
