It was great Everything they explained to me I forgot just as quickly, but I had my softest meats here Our server was very sweet and quick to make sure that we didn't ever have to wait for anything she explained each sushi individually and where the fish came from They ship everything from all over the world And the dessert was to die for This is dining like a princess This is the perfect place to take a woman on a date low effort on your part outside of needing to have a reservation*** The omakase is already chosen for you by the chef all you have to do is sit there and enjoy and experience the plates together! Extra brownie points if you can score going to M sushi then taking her to killjoy on Tuesday for their live music so you guys can dance or sit and enjoy more craft cocktails, and each each other's company!

The rolls looked pretty nice when they came out -- colorful with different toppings, sauces drizzled on top, and some green onions. The fish tasted fresh enough and the rice was okay, not too hard or mushy. But honestly, the flavors were just average. Some rolls were a bit too sweet from the sauce, others a little salty from the roe. It was creative, but nothing that really blew me away. The place has a nice warm wooden table vibe and the lighting is good for photos. Service was quick, no long wait. Price-wise, it felt a little expensive for Durham -- four rolls and we weren't super impressed with the value. It was fine for a casual meal, but I wouldn't go out of my way to come back just for the sushi. Might try something else next time or their omakase to see if it's better.

Friend ordered something else. Server returned to interrupt us and say they were out of Conniption gin-- which is made literally a mile and a half away. Another server interrupted our conversation to deliver something we hadn't ordered.... They just seemed surprised and completely unprepared to be in business. Food was great, though, especially the soup and the best tofu I've ever had. Bahn mi was served on soft bread a bit like ciabatta --I'd have preferred the more traditional crusty bread.

The ambience is beautiful and cozy, and the customer service was so warm and attentive. We sat upstairs in the izakaya during happy hour (Tuesday). The standout for me was the crispy tofu bao bun. The sauce in it was SO good, I honestly wish I had ordered more, especially since it was only $4. We also tried oysters for the first time (they were around $1.50-$1.99 during happy hour), and they were surprisingly delicious. We tried a few grilled skewers, shrimp, eggplant, and tofu, which were good, but not my absolute favorites of the night. The best was the egg sando. It might sound simple, but it was incredible, honestly tasted just like the ones I had in Japan, if not better. And the fries?? Perfectly crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. My new favorite fries in Durham.

I gave this location a 3 because they are so different and don't give you what the other locations give you. Here it was soup or salad and mushrooms did not come with the veggie mix, I'm glad I ordered som or I would have been upsets. I generally order extra. Also the chef did not do all the chef things. We didn't get the pre meal show or the post meal show. They did sing Happy Birthday to my Mom. Now the food. The Sushi Sampler was good. I love sushi so that was on point. The Hibachi was also good.

The prices hardly seem to have gone up at all in ten years! And you get so much food! You're set for lunch the next day, for sure. The service was great. From the warm welcome from the host, to the attentive server, and then of course the hibachi chef who put on exactly the show we were looking for. Well the regular stuff: onion volcano, squeeze bottle with a string in it, tossing pieces of meat into open mouths, he played the hits. I will also say that the accommodations for allergies and food sensitivities seemed to be great. One person at our table said she didn't like onions and mushrooms, so the chef made her a large solo portion of zucchini in a completely separate part of the grill. The chef also asked us if we wanted double white sauce, or double ginger, whereas in the past I feel like they just served it up quick and you got one of each. I know this isn't mind-blowing, but I took note of how a tune he was to what we might want. The only thing I could say could use a little improvement would be the ambiance. It's nice, but could be even nicer and more romantic with warm light bulbs. The cool light bulbs feel a bit stark and cafeteria. I was really cold, so glad I brought a sweater, but I can understand why they keep the air down considering how many huge walls of flames are occurring around the place. Finally, it was my husband's birthday so of course I had to tell them so they could come out and sing while banging on drums! Why not? We also got a complimentary scoop of sherbet, which we didn't really want. But it was a fun and festive way to end the evening. Go forth and keep this place going! It's great!
