I visited Kinoko Ramen on Jan 12, 2026. It was noon, and I was the only dine-in customer. There was…read moreno wait time for a table. Water and menu were provided the moment I sat down. I had already looked at the menu online and knew what I wanted: shoyu ramen. The order was served with a spoon, a side plate and a paper towel. There was 1 soft-boiled cut into two halves and ample amounts of scallion, menma and braised pork belly. The latter had a rich flavor, helped in no small part by the pork and chicken broth. Not only that, the broth complimented the rest of the ingredients; the egg was enjoyable. My only (minor) complaint is the portion size of the ramen itself. It was smaller than I would like. The lady that served me was probably (best guess) the owner. Her service was impeccable. In addition, Kinoko has a pleasing amenity not found in most restaurants: an AC outlet at every table that was by the wall. This was very handy for a heavy user of laptops and phones like myself. Although there was music playing in the background, it wasn't loud. The server and I were able to hear each other, and I could also hear the voices of others at the bar. The restroom had an interesting decor of newspapers for wallpaper. That was something I didn't see elsewhere. If you love good ramen, come to Kinoko Ramen. If you like a quiet place to dine in, come to Kinoko Ramen. Perfect scores in food, service and atmosphere.

I had another better known local ramen shop in mind, but saw the reviews and that this place had an…read moreinteresting vegetarian selection, so I decided to give it a shot. It wasn't crowded, but it was doing a lot of takeout for a ramen spot (generally a food best enjoyed fresh). The mala ramen (a mix of spicy and tingly sensations) that I sought delivered on the premise. It was a fascinating flavor mix, with some harsh notes that would be a discovery for those that haven't had mala before working well because of the balance of salty and savory flavors and some nice greens and sweet corn. It was unique and I enjoyed it. They had some appetizers and things that I wasn't hungry enough for, but I did wash it down with tea. It was a very reasonable price given how the hipster ramen market has gone. And they had enough menu options that returning would be worthwhile. I ended up going to the other local ramen place anyway the next day, and I would say that both were really good. You can't go wrong.

Venue: Small Food: ordered spicyTantan ramen (spicy sesame and pork broth), tonkatsu ramen (pork broth) also ordered salmon and tonkatsu (fried battered pork). The ramen was good. I can't say it was the best I've ever had, but fair. I like the tan tan better than tonkatsu- family who tasted the broth all agreed on this. Was pretty disappointed in tonkatsu. Very thin dry, and small portion with basic sauce. Tonkatsu portion was smallest I've ever seen. Taste very mediocre. Service: twice here. Service is generally slow. Polite staffs but slow. It is a very basic ramen place here. Some will love it and some will want something more special. It's up to you to try!

My wife had the Pisa Hut sushi roll which looked amazing and she said it was the best sushi ever. We did share an order of the pork pan fried dumplings which were delicious. Everything we had was a 10/10 and the service was a 10/10 (ask for Max!) The atmosphere and decor is so nice and its just a really cool spot in downton Apex. Not to mention, Sushi Suyu has a perfect 100 State Board of Health score. We cant wait to go back

Came here recently for dinner and enjoyed my meal…read more First, you can park in one of the big public parking lots and walk over here, so that's convenient. My wife and I booked a reservation for 5:30 PM, and the booking system was a little strange. First, you have to wait for the restaurant to confirm your reservation, so you're basically just submitting a request. Also, there's an "Assignments" selection in the reservation form which has a possible value of 1, 2, or 3. No idea what it means so I left it blank. Then, the next day, we received a curt text telling us that our reservation was confirmed and that they would only hold our table for 5 minutes. I mean, geez, I get it, but how hard is it to say "Thank you for dining with us!" or something to that effect? Not a huge deal, obviously, but kind of funny :) Our server did a pretty good job throughout the meal. The food was prepared quickly and it was very good! My two sushi rolls were very tasty, and my wife's sashimi was definitely fresh. Because we ate there in the late afternoon, there were also some happy hour specials that I appreciated ($13 for any specialty roll, and $6 for certain beers). The beer selection wasn't bad at all, and of course they had sake as well. Overall, we had a really good time at Sushi Suyu and would definitely come back!

A must for sushi and Hibachi lovers in Morrisville…read more I ordered the happy roll, alie roll, and a hibachi steak dinner. The hibachi was well seasoned and the steak was cooked to our liking. The sushi rolls tasted fresh, the shrimp tempura was crispy, and the size was perfect (some sushi rolls barely fit in your mouth). I also appreciate that there is no up-charge for the white sauce; it is placed on the table so you can use as much as you'd like. For the quality of the food, the prices are very affordable. There are economic deals for the sushi and the portion of the hibachi was big enough for my fiancée and I. The restaurant was a calm vibe, the staff is friendly and attentive, and soft music plays in the background so it is perfect to socialize in. One of my favorite sushi spots.

This week my teen reminded me that a new Ramen place has opened in the same facility so I decided to give it a try. The ambience is cozy, though I found that tables are very close to each other, so it is very hard to keep a conversation going without you either disturbing the other table or worrying about having someone else listen to your conversation menu is fine. I did not care for sushi because I was there for Ramen. Besides, they have a vegetarian Ramen is what I was looking for, my daughter ordered a teriyaki Ramen. My vegetarian Ramen had a lot of tempura in it, which defeated the purpose a little bit for me because it was a little oily. The taste was more or less like a red curry and there was very less vegetables mostly it was sweet corn and one or two bok choy on the other hand my teen, who is very hard to please loved the teriyaki Raman and is already planning to go back this weekend to try the other ones , all in all I gave this place a four star because the umami of the Ramen was very comforting, even though I did not like the taste much

So spirits were high right from the start. For the record, I've been here a handful of times before, usually for lunch, but this was my first dinner visit. Parking was easy and plentiful, and even though the restaurant was fairly busy, we were seated right away. Always a nice win. We kicked things off with a bowl of edamame that was perfectly salted. The boys went with miso soup, which was flavorful but came out lava hot. Like, ice-cube-required hot. Tasty, but proceed with caution if you have kids. For sushi, we kept it simple and solid with a mix of one classic and two specialty rolls: Spicy Tuna, Phoenix, and the Crunchy Roll. All were fresh, well-made, and hit the spot. Food came out quickly, service was friendly and attentive, and the overall value felt right. Since we live nearby, this will definitely stay in our regular rotation. A great, easy dinner spot for sushi with family.

One last thing I liked was how their menu has pictures of all of the meals so you get an idea of what it looks like (although for some of the pictures I feel like it doesn't do it justice).

I ordered a teriyaki chicken rice bowl and added shrimp and cheese. The chicken tasted like it was made with chicken thighs -- super juicy, tender, and not dried out at all, which I really appreciated. The shrimp was a nice add-on, and the yum yum sauce was good. Looking back, I probably should've ordered an extra one for the bowl. They have plenty of seating if you want to eat in, and the menu is ordered through an iPad-style system. The server was very respectful and made it clear he was available if I needed help. I personally went with takeout, but both options are solid. Overall, I really liked this spot. If you're in Raleigh and craving a good rice bowl with options, this place is worth checking out. I'd definitely come back if I'm in the area again.

It's not your typical hibachi place where everything is cooked on a flat top, this meat is actually grilled to perfection! I kid you not but the vegetables are amazing too! My go-to is usually the Chicken and Vegetable plate. I feel like it's just enough protein along with a daily dose of veggies. I can eat this dish every day if I wanted. The prices are fair for the quality and portions that you get. I can finish the whole plate but if I'm not that hungry; it takes me two sittings to finish. There's a new owner and he's a really cool guy. He's always friendly and willing to help. I appreciate customer service the most. I'm always happy to support business owners like that.
