- I REALLY like the fact that their sushi prices are pretty decent and you can get half rolls! I was able to try 4 different rolls (can't wait to go back and try more) because of that! Yum & Good Value!
Michelle CJanuary 1, 2017They'll bring you sorbet and sing to you for your birthday. Food is prepared on a grill in front of you, which they clean, and w/o asking my vegetarian meal was cooked first to prevent contamination.- KaitlinApril 20, 2015A great hibachi place with good sushi, too. Most fun hibachi chefs around, I think. They have some inventive sushi and I love that you can get half rolls.
Steven SwainAugust 31, 2014If you like hibachi-style Japanese food and sushi, this is your place. It's worth the wait for the group dining, but the sushi bar seating is first come-first serve and serves the exact same menu.
The News & ObserverJuly 20, 2012In 2011, restaurant sushi chef Yuya Chiba prepared a fund-raising sushi dish of Kizuna rolls and sold paintings as a way to raise cash to send to the Japan Red Cross and UNICEF Japan Relief effort. Read more
Raleigh CitizenAugust 2, 2012The star of the show was the “Poseidon Roll,” lobster and shrimp tempura fried, masago, scallions, cucumber, and spicy mayo, in a reverse roll topped with crab and a seasoned sweet soy sauce. Read more- First come, first served seating in the sushi and bar area. Their prices are pretty high for hibachi dinner, but they have EXCELLENT sushi prices. Lots of interesting and unique rolls. :)
Sit at the grill for more food for the same price. Order the Samurai and substitute shrimp for chicken for the same price. Get the white sauce.
luca piazzaNovember 1, 2014Good food for a reasonable price. Even though it is within a mall, it is able to deliver a restaurant vibe and experience.
Meredith mJune 20, 2014Forget the sushi...hibachi hibachi hibachi. And get a double serving of yum yum sauce- the stuff is addicting. Seriously.
Snow AerisApril 27, 2012Jesus was awesome! If you are celebrating a birthday, let them know. They sing, bring out rainbow sorbet and snap a souvenir photo for you!
Paul ChangApril 18, 2010They advertise as the best tasting show in town ... but once you've seen one you've seen them all. Food is the best I've had at a Japanese steakhouse. Ask for the steak special ($9.99 ribeye)
Michael HamiltonAugust 10, 2013Had the Bonsai lunch. A combo of steak, shrimp, and chicken. It was glorious.
Christie ChurchJanuary 6, 2012Don't get the ginger salad. It's not sweet and has a potent after taste. Gyoza is great for an appetizer though and the 500 sushi is great
Leave without lemon cake and you'll be sorry -
They do lunch prices on Sunday which is great bc most places do not do that on Sunday to make more money
Ask for Walter to be your chef! He's hilarious and he does a great job cooking the food.
Be sure to grab a mint before you leave! It's FREE!!!
They don't have buy one get one free sushi anymore but rather lower prices. Many competitors in Raleigh but still the best. Actually run by cool Vietnamese lady.
You can order hibachi from the bar! Awesome for solo business travelers like me!
- Low sanitation grade 90 I went on the health dept website to find out why and the results made me sick. Plus, if u get sick, no refunds. Just coupons, as if you would actually come back.
Gregory BlairJanuary 1, 2012Get the regular side of shrimp, they give you a full 4oz. instead of six pieces.
Ask for Welson to cook for you! By far, he is the best hibachi chef here!
The bartenders are awful. If you want a drink, sit at a table and order, otherwise you'll be ignored.
MatthewSeptember 20, 2011Not as nice or inviting since the remodel, no more BOGO rolls, either. Go to Sushi Thai on Lake Boone Trail or Tasu on Brier Creek instead.
