    Rolls are good. Specialty rolls are excellent. Melt in your mouth! Service was good. Modern and appealing atmosphere. Not the largest dining room. Cooked food options are limited. Great overall!

    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.

    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."

    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.

    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.

    You have to get the Skittles roll: banana chips, fuji apple, mango, cantaloupe, avocado, strawberries and kiwi remoulade. Delicious!

    Sushi is delicious! They tend to fry almost everything though... This place is like a bar. Good luck trying to eat healthy.

    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.

    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)
