Taylor ReevesFebruary 23, 2013The sushi is the best you'll ever have in North Carolina, so don't leave without trying a roll or two. Even better, sit at the sushi bar: those guys keep you entertained.- TamaraDecember 9, 2011Great Sushi place downtown! Get the G Spot & Sono Rolls! Delish! Best Dancing Eel roll so far. The restaurant dining room is small & can be loud with lots of ppl, but pretty good overall! HOT SAKE!
If you like lemon, the secret garden roll is outstanding. The subtle bits of lemon zest give it a zesty kick. Best roll I've had in a while!!- Neil LatonJune 15, 2013Great Sushi! Best that I have ever had (and I eat a lot of Sushi). I got the Screaming O Roll and my wife got the Piano Roll. Highly Reccomend!
O'kissNovember 15, 2014Good place, just in Raleigh downtown. The best green tea I ever tried. Tasty sushi ... Tried two different - both were great
Best sushi place in the triangle. I have not tried waraji yet. This place is so good you wouldn't eat elsewhere in the triangle after eating here.
Paul McRaeMay 28, 2023Fantastic ramen and sushi. We had 5 rolls and the Miso Spicy ramen. Service was fantastic.
Robert HorvickOctober 28, 2012Great date place. If you are downtown and need to have a roll NOW - this is the place. Good sushi and great service but you will pay a bit more for not having to hope in your car.
Holy $[|+! The Hibachi just made me come to Jesus. I inhaled it faster than you can say "Look at that fat guy inhale that Hibachi."
Matthew BaynardJanuary 12, 2016Screaming "O" roll is truly a work of art. Spicy tuna, tempura shrimp, seared tuna and special "O" sauce.
Emily PiecrustFebruary 2, 2013Three of us had six rolls: G Spot, Pink Floyd, Magma, Orishi, Screaming O, and Secret Garden. They were all amazing. ALL of them.
hFebruary 3, 2015Sushi is delicious! They tend to fry almost everything though... This place is like a bar. Good luck trying to eat healthy.
You have to get the Skittles roll: banana chips, fuji apple, mango, cantaloupe, avocado, strawberries and kiwi remoulade. Delicious!- Pretty great food, try the Pink Floyd, perfectly balanced flavors! Note you can only use one check in special at a time.
Julia CampbellDecember 1, 2012If its your first time there, get the Screaming "O"! AWESOME (& beautifully decorated too).
You cannot go wrong with any of the rolls here! They change the Sushi menu often and the new stuff is always great!
Kalita LattepawsSeptember 9, 2011Great place. The food is stupidly delicious. The service is top notch and super friendly. And the presentation is gorgeous.
Cindy RamirezApril 15, 2013Avocado Salad was amazing and they have a great selection of gluten free items on the menu.- Best sushi ever! Chris & Alejandro are the best bartenders!! Order the crunchy diablo & the chocolate martini yummmm
Michael HuberJanuary 22, 2012Love this place, takes traditional sushi with a twist, have not had a meal here that was not good.
Twisted Mango is my favorite sushi roll ever, I get it every time.- J McGeeOctober 8, 2014Don't appreciate me calling to specifically ask if your bogo is also for to go, to be told yes if I get there in 15 minutes. To only get there in five minutes and be told no you have to eat it here.
Meredith D.February 18, 2011I'd never had tuna tartare before, but it was so delicious! And with the fried seaweed chips? Yes, please.
- Paul ChangApril 18, 2010Sister restaurant to Mura @ North Hills, the lunch special is unbeatable (for sushi) - $9 for soup, roll, and salad (again, get the "Screaming O" roll)
Jack ShadeSeptember 9, 2011Lovely place great atmosphere, great service, great music and great food.
I don't know who this Mital P. guy is but he recommended the Crunchy Diablo and he couldn't have been more right.
Love the new omakase style menu options! Old fav: still the SONO roll!
Make reservations on Friday nights! Everyone else probably knew that...
Colin WoodallMay 26, 2012Great food, bad service. Our waitress walked by me, looked down at OUR empty waters glasses, and just kept going. The mngr. ended up filling
