The 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.

Great 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!!

Great 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!

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.

Fantastic ramen and sushi. We had 5 rolls and the Miso Spicy ramen. Service was fantastic.

Great 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."

Screaming "O" roll is truly a work of art. Spicy tuna, tempura shrimp, seared tuna and special "O" sauce.

Three of us had six rolls: G Spot, Pink Floyd, Magma, Orishi, Screaming O, and Secret Garden. They were all amazing. ALL of them.

Sushi 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.

You cannot go wrong with any of the rolls here! They change the Sushi menu often and the new stuff is always great!

Twisted Mango is my favorite sushi roll ever, I get it every time.
J McGeeOctober 8, 2014
Don'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, 2011
I'd never had tuna tartare before, but it was so delicious! And with the fried seaweed chips? Yes, please.

Sister restaurant to Mura @ North Hills, the lunch special is unbeatable (for sushi) - $9 for soup, roll, and salad (again, get the "Screaming O" roll)
