Gem in the middle of Crossroads Cary shopping center. Japanese food that is fresh, delicious, and sometimes innovative when the chef has unique ingredients available. The atmosphere is small family run and minimalist Asian decor, read more

Loved the whole experience here. I came with my wife and our young daughter (4 years old). The server was very sweet to her and even brought out a to-go cup with water, such a thoughtful gesture. The interior felt just like the small corner restaurants I grew up with in Japan, but a bit cleaner and more polished. Zaru Udon was one of my favorite dishes growing up, and Kashin delivered a nostalgic, comforting experience. Thank you! The yellowtail was also spot on, fresh and flavorful. For dessert, we had the sakura mochi. Loved, loved it. Sweet, warm, and perfectly gooey. Just perfect. read more

We moved here 2 years ago from Los Angeles, I I grew up on japanese home cooking and this place reminded me of it :) We've been to so many japanese restaraunts out here, and nearly gave up hope of trying new places until tonight and very happy we stopped in. Definitely going to be a regular. read more

Really loved the miso soup and salad that comes with the entree. It was pretty busy on the weekend so would recommend making a reservation. Our favorite was the house dessert and the poke bowl. Will definitely be coming back. read more

Always come back to Kashin Japanese family style food, some like chawanmushi and ochazuke are not easy find in other Japanese restaurants. We also ordered soft shell crab appetizier, my always go-to wherever there is one plum shiso roll, chef's choice 5 sashimi (15pcs - red meat tuna, salmon, yellowtail, snapper, escolar), and a shoyu ramen. This is not the finding a gem good, but the good as I will return when I cannot find another new place to try. Comfort Japanese food with fair price (consider inflation), Kashin is like a Japanese diner for me. read more

Six years later and this place is still my favorite sushi restaurant in the triangle. It's not fancy but if you want authentic Japanese food, this is the only truly Japanese restaurant in the area. Food is always fresh and flavorful. Service is beyond excellent. Nothing but friendly faces and attentive staff. Chawanmushi is a must try, traditional Japanese dish and this place does it right. Smooth and jam packed with flavor. And the Chirashi is my go to dish so I can have a little bit of everything on a bed of sushi rice. If you are a sushi lover in the triangle and you haven't been to Kashin, I don't know what you're doing. Again, it's not all fancy like some other joints in Raleigh and Durham but if you want good food, look no further. read more

Good Japanese food with affordable prices. The decor is typical of American Japanese restaurants but come for the food and service. Some of the seaweed tasted off but that wasn't an issue as the fish and rice were so good. If I'm in the area, I'll be coming back read more

Probably the best sushi have ever had in the states. So fresh and delicious. Visited 3x. The servers are always kind as well. And I love the ambiance. I feel like someone will make a tiktok about this place in the future and I will be devastated about not being able to get a seat anymore. read more

One of the few Asian places that earned my five stars. Come in and you are greeted by friendly staff that will show you to your table. You can choose to sit at the bar where you can watch your meal being prepared in front of you. The bar filled up quick the night I went. Kashin aims to be as authentic as it can in its Japanese cuisine. The staff did a great job. My sushi dinner was presented well and had the type of wasabi I liked. Mom's tempura was crunchy. The seafood was fresh. It had the look and feel of the kind I'd find at the real deal in Japan. They had a bottle of Asahi too. I'm happy to say my experience brought back memories of my trip. Arigato! read more

Not what it was 30 years ago by any means. Food is overpriced. Food quality isn't the same especially if you do take out. No Japanese environment or warm hand towels, all the things that made it specia . Just not the same place. read more

Awesome awesome awesome. Walked in the door and to my right was a table over 8+ Asian men having dinner. That is a great sign. Place is small and cozy with typical Asian restaurant decor. I set at the sushi after a spot was vacated and cleaned up. I experimented with a Ten-Don Meal which was delicious and a Aburi Salmon roll that was possibly my favorite American style roll ever. Oh my goodness. It was delectable. I would have gotten another if I had not ordered the Ten-Don. Great little family owned place. A definite stop next trip. read more

Food: 4/5 Service: 4/5 Wait time: 2/5 Price: $$ - $$$ I visited a 2nd time with family. We always arrive the moment dinner time begins because the restaurant fills up very quickly. The food here is delicious almost all around. You can't really go wrong with any of the nigiri, rolls, or small dishes. They use fresh cuts of fish. We chose the following items: * (5/5) Maguro Yamakake * (4.5/5) Assorted Deluxe Sushi Dinner * (4.5/5) Alaskan Roll * (4/5) Spider Roll * (4/5) Beef Tataki A complaint of ours was the wait time for kitchen-prepared food, again. Unfortunately, there was only 1 chef in the kitchen during both visits and an almost full restaurant (albeit small). It caused a long wait time for food to be served, which was difficult to endure since we were hungry. A positive note is that the server let us know an estimate time to wait if we ordered anything further mid-meal (could be 20+ minute wait). Overall, tasty Japanese food and kind servers and sushi chef. read more

I've been to this place before, except it was in Jamestown, NY; Duxbury, MA; Atlanta, GA...in other words, like a thousand other sushi joints. Nothing really special, but they do offer a pretty nice selection of sakis and the food was good. I'd eat here again. read more

I am so glad that I found this little gem. I found this on Yelp and I am so pleased. This is one of my favorite type of restaurants. The kind that you would never know how amazing it is from the outside. Nestled in a shopping center, you walk into a sushi heaven. The sashimi quality was top notch I had the lunch sashimi which was served with their house salad with ginger dressing (absolutely perfect dressing). It was also served with a miso soup and white rice. There were 8 nice size pieces of a variety of chefs picks. Service was great and place was clean. I loved it and would be back all the time if I lived here. I think this would be my go to lunch spot. read more

The service is horrible,they are not nice at all,they take so so long to give you the food and the food was just nasty.

Nothing fancy or flashy just quality food and great service. I still love this place. I got the Rainbow roll for lunch. Fish slices are thicker than most other places. Flavor was great! read more

My boyfriend and I came here for the first time tonight and we had an amazing experience! The service was amazing, the staff made us feel super welcome! The restaurant is smaller but I prefer that to a larger restaurant, it felt very intimate. The food was so yummy! We got sushi, ramen, dumplings, and the house dessert and everything was wonderful. The dessert was my favorite thing ever!!! Loved it so much!! read more

I really enjoyed our dinner at Kashin. Two thumbs up, or 5 stars! They pay real attention to the quality of the food.

The food was Great and authentic. I lived in Japan and finding a place where I can go and enjoy all the flavors and choices. Noodles are great, Udon is one of my favorites. From Tonkatsu to Katsudon--it's delicious. The sushi is fresh and if you're alone, just sitting at the bar while they make it is delightful. They even have green tea ice cream! It's delicious and fun. The service was pleasant and hearing the Japanese phrases were music to my ears. They even have a party room with seating on the floor--call to reserve in advance. I'm planning my next birthday there. read more

Great katsudon--I've lived in Japan (and am half Japanese) and the food here is authentic and quite good. When I brought my mom (who is Japanese) for the first time to Raleigh, I brought her here for sushi and authentic Japanese cuisine--and she very much approved. Staff is always friendly, service is good. And of course the food is awesome. Some staff members are Japanese--so mom had fun chatting with the staff (and likely making fun of me, but that's another story lol). Sometimes if they're packed the wait can be a bit long, but that's just because everyone else is ordering the excellent food. Every date I've brought to this restaurant have been impressed. read more

Hidden gem! I guess hidden for some, I live in Cary, which is so large that the "new Cary " is suffering from growing pains, and has totally crap food. Anyways, I digress, and am just sad that this place is in Cary, but literally 20 minutes from my house, because I wish it was across the street. Small little place, very unassuming in a strip mall next to 4 other restaurants, and when we walked in, I was very hesitant, as we were now 1 of 2 tables in the joint, but probably only like 12 tables in all. The server was very nice, and we went old school and each had a large Sapporo to start. We had a couple simple apps, edamame, and gyoza, but wish I had some of the other apps which looked plentiful and delicious, because the were perfect. They have a dinner menu that pretty much has something for everyone. 4 of us, and the guys were in mood for noodles, girls sushi. I had the Shoyu ramen, and my buddy had the Miso ramen. Very impressed with the ramen. Mine came with a poached egg, which I love, and the flavor was amazing. My millennial friends swear by Dashi in Durham, but this flavor blew it out of the water. My buddy loved his Miso ramen, and said it actually had a pretty good spicy kick. I can't say much for the sushi, except the presentation, as I didn't have any, but our dates said it was very good. Unfortunately, I will not be back soon, as it is too far, and I am too busy to spend 1.5 hours of my day driving to and fro for a meal, normally. But, I would highly recommend that if you are in the area, definitely eat here. Delicious! read more

Well when family came to visit this Easter and we couldn't decide on what type of post meal to prepare... naturally we relied on our love of sushi. First, we ordered the extra ginger and edamame they're a way too reasonable price, and such great palette cleansers. The separate containers for the ginger were great for using later too. Sashimi is my main spotlight here the salmon was fresh, buttery and filling slices were given. I like to try the Salmon and Squid each place I go, and really can't recommend the Salmon here enough! I might have snuck some from the chefs box as well... Everyone else really enjoyed their rolls- they were so filling and didn't rely on too much rice, and were tightly formed- is it not annoying if your roll falls apart not a problem here at all- thanks Kashin. This spread was for 5-6 people and it did the job perfectly Thanks so much for the quick delivery and delicious food. Will be back soon. xoxo Doms read more

Kashin is good for a date night or dinner with a friend. However, there is limited seating so not good for groups. Additionally, I did find the pricing to be a bit steep compared to similar restaurants. Food was pretty good, but the salmon roll and sushi roll with lemon I got were nothing special. I did get the matcha cheesecake, which was also good but had a little too much matcha powder dusted on it. Service was good, as well. read more

I got a california and spicy tuna roll and my boyfriend got the lobster roll. I liked my rolls, but my boyfriend didn't think his lobster was any good. I was sitting at the bar and the people making the sushi were talking about things that I didn't want to hear about as a customer... It felt like a long wait for the sushi despite there being not many people there, but overall I enjoyed my meal. read more

Kashin was recommended to us so we decided to give it a whirl. We were a little hesitant when we drove into the Crossroads plaza and found that it was in a corner next to a Subway. Once we entered, we felt like we were in a great little Japanese restaurant. It was early Saturday evening and every table was full. We sat at the sushi bar. The sushi rolls are pretty standard, but delicious. We ordered beef tataki, aburi salmon nigiri (which was the special that day- yum!), the crunchy roll, and a variety of nigiri. The sushi chef, our server, and the host were incredibly friendly and welcoming. We noticed that everyone in the restaurant ordered the noodles. We will definitely need to try those on our next visit. read more

This is a review for takeout. I got the mackerel lunch and the portion was really small for the price ($14). Considering mackerel itself is a small fish and relatively cheap, was disappointing to see not even a whole filet. What's pictured is my takeout portion. A friend ordered the same thing and theirs was even smaller. I don't know if it was an off day but I definitely had to get a second lunch after. read more

We had lunch at this crossroad plaza sushi place, First all, they don't have white sauce for teriyaki, the second, we need a to go box for noodle soup, but the lid can't seal the box, I asked another time, they brought another one didn't fit too. By the way, the price is weigh higher than the similar restaurants and taste average. read more
