Wow what a lovely intimate dining location and experience! Sat right at the sushi bar and the food came out quick and was delicious! The rolls were good sized and sharing two and an appetizer was perfect! Good price point for fresh quality food. The restaurant is very small and not many tables so get there around open to get in or join a waitlist as there is not reservations. read more

Delicious sushi, quiet cozy restaurant and great service! We had a very accommodating, fun waiter.

This is one of the best sushi restaurants I have been to in the triangle area! I came here for lunch- they have a limited menu but a few lunch specials that were enticing. I ordered the sushi-sashimi bento and it was delicious. The bento included high quality, large cuts of fish. My favorites were the salmon sashimi and the tuna sushi although everything in the bento box was amazing. The fresh wasabi that came with it was also a perfect touch. The bento came with miso soup which was the most unique miso soup I have ever had. They add fish to the miso soup to make it more rich and flavorful. The restaurant itself is small and cozy so it fills up quickly. It is located in an office/apartment building. I would recommend parking in the attached parking garage as it's closest to the restaurant. Overall, I really enjoyed my lunch here. Compared to other sushi restaurants in the area, this place easily outshines many of the other places. I look forward to returning to try more of their menu! read more

Disappointed by lack of service and professionalism. They were not slammed this evening. Our server took our order, brought us our water and he dropped our sushi order off with no explanation to my husband and son that we didn't need soy sauce or wasabi. I was talking to the people seated next to us who were giving us menu recommendations. We waited a considerable time. He never checked on us. Then I got up and asked any server for soy sauce and Wasabi. Another server brought it over, and I was told that it didn't need any since it was already in it. This was never communicated to us to begin with. We were ready to order two more dishes based on the recommendations from the customers seated next to us. When I let the server know that we were ready to order, he said to wait and then went to another table to take their order. Thought it was rude. When he came over, I changed my mind and asked for the bill. No apology or anything from him. When we left, I let the woman (hostess, server?)know. She apologized and said she's on her break. I also let the young hostess know as well. At least she apologized. I do not recommend. Hard to find this place on Google which was frustrating enough. The Seabream recommended to us as being "melt in your mouth" had a few tough spots. It's a shame because this place looks like a nice place but even my family thought it was bad and they rarely complain. read more

This place serves the best ramen I've ever had. The broth was rich and creamy, with a deep umami flavor. The noodles were perfectly chewy, and the chashu pork was tender and melt-in-your-mouth delicious. The atmosphere was cozy and felt so authentic. read more

Outstanding food. Best sushi and sashimi in Raleigh, hands down. Could earn a Michelin star IMHO.

The sushi is of great quality! I'm never disappointed with my meals here. It's in an office building but the vibe is still relaxed. It's a hidden gem read more

Absolutely fantastic. I've been to Sushi Mon at its previous location, and it didn't leave a heavy impression on me originally. But when I went to go eat at their new location it seemed very refined and everything seemed to be executed better. Ordered the chirashi bowl and the donburi as our main entrees and they both were incredible. The chirashi bowl was light and had plenty of fish that mixed well together in the bowl. The donburi, was amazing. As someone who focuses on the texture of the food, the donburi was able to provide a little bit of everything. The charred rice, crispy bits, and soft fish and rice led to a very exciting dish that went above my expectations. It is now located on the base level of an office building (or maybe an apartment complex?). The vibe inside is kind of fancy and it suits well for a fancy night out or date night. Overall excellent place and I really recommend people come here if they haven't already. read more

Everything was excellent! Beautiful, modern design, great service and the best sushi I've ever had! Went there with my family (3 adults and 2 teens) and came out full. The bill was around $145 which I think is very reasonable for the quality and the amount of food we ordered. read more

Excellent, fresh sushi done right but don't expect an exhaustive menu. Seaweed salad was top notch and exceeded expectation. The preparation with arugula and radish made me hesitate but I ultimately really enjoyed the addition of the arugula. It's a small space and very serene. They could likely accommodate a larger group in the lobby area outside the main dining room. If I could've eaten more, I would have...even considered going back my second night in Raleigh. I'll be back! Just a tip: When I followed the GPS there was no outside signage so I drove around and made the correct guess to park in the parking deck and enter what appeared to be an office building. read more

I'm sure this review will indicate to some people that i have poor taste in sushi, but i just didn't get the appeal of this place. I met coworkers here and found the contents of the nigiri bento to be bland. The service was fast and friendly, but the surroundings were just ok. I have a hard time imagining a great restaurant be located in an office building. read more

Sushi Mon is hands down the best sushi in Raleigh. Fresh is the word. Rolls are so creative and upscale. Crunchy Salmon, Truffle Tuna, Rainbow(Best you have had), and Salmon avocado. Small place but big taste. read more

Found this via a Yelp search when I was in the area. It was delicious but portions were small. Otherwise I would have given 5 stars.

I'm sure the sushi is great. Just a shame I didn't get to try it. The wait was much longer than what we were told, which normally isn't a big deal -- I get it, places get busy. What was odd, and not nice, was the fact that there were two couples who came after us who didn't have reservations and were seated before us. So -- all in all, I'm not very impressed. read more

Buckle up for an excellent fine dining experience and some expertly crafted sushi dishes. I had somewhat high expectations from a friend who recommended it to me...and they delivered. Service was also fantastic and next level. Will happily return. read more

This so far is Raleigh's best Sushi hands down. I love Waraji too, but my wife and I love eating at this places Sushi bar. We loved every piece of sashimi & nigiri, and my wife loved the Miso soup. Everything from the service to the taste of each roll was perfect. This restaurant has waits so make sure to be added to the wait list, and during your wait, there are two other area bars just around the corner. I love Women's circle - lol I love women, but I really love the neighborhood vibe that the restaurants & bars give. The atmosphere at the restaurant inside near its bar gives off the best vibe. Our server was very nice, quirky , spontaneous, funny too, but had very good recommendations! read more

Fabulous sushi and environment! We really enjoyed our meal at Sushi Mon! The seafood was very fresh and the presentation was second to none! read more

BLUF: Tasty. We felt the meal got sweeter than expected as we ate. A bountiful amount of seaweed salad came out sitting on top of a bed of spring greens. Great flavor for the first few bites, but slowly the sweetness started showing through and being more dominant. The Rock Salt Seared Salmon was perfect. Could eat five more orders. We went with the Salmon Crunch Roll thinking the mango could bring a nice sweetness. Little did we know that would be the dominant seasoning towards the end of the meal. The roll was decent, I don't know, felt 'meh' for a specialty roll. Chirashi was good. The scattered presentation was interesting with the chunks of fish, gari, and roe scattered throughout. I suppose the idea was to help the diner get a different bite with each scoop. Sushi Mon is fantastic. I believe where they really shine are in their nigiris. If it's your first visit, go for the omakase to get the best experience. read more

I feel Sushi Mon is like a hidden gem of raleigh and I always love going there for lunch because it's super low key! My first time experiencing sushi mon was when the location was by NC State. The place is small but the food is delicious and it's perfect for lunch. The staff is sweet and the service is solid. here is what I ordered: Crunch Salmon: Mango, Shrimp Tempura, Yuzu Mango, Balsamic Soy Reduction, Sweet Chili Truffle Tuna: Tuna, Truffle Oil, Creamy Ponzu, Apple Chip, Pickle Radish, Spicy Tuna Rainbow: Tuna, Salmon, Yellowtail, Avocado, Shallot Chip, Soy Vinaigrette, Spicy Aioli All in all their sushi is delicious read more

I'm 1000% impressed! What was lacking in a large space, Sushi Mon made up for in quality and flawless execution. And let me just say, service was equally as impressive as the sushi. I think both pieces really went hand in hand to make for a great experience. I came in for a solo lunch on a Wednesday afternoon. The space was small but very elegant and serene located in a large building down the hall from the bank. Parking is difficult up front so I recommend to park in the parking deck behind the building. The sushi was phenomenal and was very high quality as many of the reviews suggest and I was also very impressed with the miso soup! There was actually fish bits in the soup so definitely not a typical recipe. I only wish that there were more specialized Nigiri options with a balance of citrus flavors or other sauces to balance the bites. Sometimes fresh fish needs a little hint of something to compliment the flavor. (My own opinion of course!) My absolute favorite part of the meal was the handroll. It was the perfect concoction of salty, sweet, savory and spicy. Orgasmic almost!!! X: read more

Saw multiple tik-toks praising this place so I knew I had to try it immediately. It's a very small restaurant located near apartment buildings but has a very modern and intimate feel to it. It has nice floral and stone decorations with dim lighting and seating in front of the sushi chefs too. The sushi is not BOGO, but most top sushi places aren't. We got the kiss of fire, lion king, rainbow, crunch salmon, and salmon & avocado roll. If I knew how good the rainbow roll would be, I would've gotten 3 rainbow rolls, 1 salmon & avocado roll, and 1 lion king roll. The rainbow roll had so much flavor it beat every other roll by a LANDSLIDE. If you're gonna try any roll get this! The lion king baked roll comes in second place easily. It was creamy, baked with cheese, and veryyyy delicious, I just would've gotten no rice crackers next time because the rice balls were very hard and threw it off. I'm giving this place a 4 because of the very poor service. There was 1 host and 1 server for the entire place, and though it was a small restaurant you could tell 1 was not enough. There should not have even been a host, just two servers. He took over ten minutes to even greet us while checking on existing tables and walking by us multiple times, was forgetful and slow, and we had to ask for things like water. We also wanted to try the cod plate and had ordered it but it was never given to us. One of the sushi chefs was apologetic and gave us a rock salt salmon plate for free, which was very kind! The presentation of the plate was great and unique and the salmon itself tasted very buttery and tasty. I would come back here just to order the rainbow roll and lion king roll to go! read more

Unbelievable!!! Found a gem in North Carolina, fresh fish, amazing service, lovely atmosphere and so much more. From the moment you walk in you feel welcomed, ambiance is quaint, lighting is perfect & service that is spot on and makes you feel like you are the only ones there with every seat taken. The sushi is so fresh, different and every dish is a beautiful presentation. Don't skip on this place. You won't be disappointed. We will be back the next time we are in Raleigh. read more

Sushi Mon is a surprise in the bottom floor of a business building. The adjacent garage has something like 10 handicap spots which made bringing my mother even easier. We had a choice of a counter or tables in the vestibule. We navigated to the sushi counter which was quiet and nice. We sat near a friendly man who chatted with us about what we were eating. It's been a while, but everything we had was very good. I recommended Sushi Mon to my family who live in the area. read more

Upon entering the parking lot, I wasn't sure if I was at the right place. Very small but cute and intimate sushi spot not too far from Crab Tree mall. There is outdoor seating and indoor. It wasn't too crowded. We were looking for a low-key place with good sushi reviews and found Sushi Mon, which was delicious. I can't tell you which sushi roll I had, but it was delicious as well as the wine. So delicious to the point where I forgot to snap a photo. Our waitress was Anja. She's a sweetheart and did a great job explaining the different menu options and making suggestions. We appreciated the service. I will come again and bring more friends. read more

Amazing service from Eric! Sushi was absolutely life changing. I ordered the best Toro nigiri of my life, rock salt seared salmon, and the salmon crunch roll.

Sushi Mon - Rock salt seared salmon - Japanese Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

Me and my sister decided to try a new sushi restaurant. I'm not a big fan of the Buy One Get One free (BOGO) sushi business model. So I was excited to try this establishment. First off, I love the vibe of the interior of the restaurant. My waiter was phenomenal and super helpful. Be prepared to wait for at least an hour or more because the restaurant is small, so I recommend coming when it first opens! If you have a party of 5 or more come early because there are only a few tables large enough to fit a party of 5 or more. Food: We ordered 2 rolls: the Lion King and Kiss of Fire. Both were incredible and the portion of fish was generous! The quality of both rolls was top notch and both rolls were unique! The rice to fish/crab was equal and good! Secondly, we both ordered the Omakase dinner which came with 8 nigiri, miso soup, a tuna hand roll, and the sponge cake as dessert! All the nigiris were fresh and well made. My favorites were the Hokkaido scallop and torched salmon! I definitely recommend this place and it is a perfect place for a date night! read more

Wow!!!!! I have to say that this was the best sushi I have had since moving down here. I'm being serious. I read some of the reviews here before we went on Friday. Most if not all were very positive and stated that the food is awesome at Sushi Mon. Well, it most definitely is. We started with an order of the Gyoza Pork Dumplings. The dumplings were delicious. The Gyoza wrapping was freshly made and not pre-made. Sometimes, when you order dumplings like this, the wrapping could be a little hard or dried out. Not these. They were soft and moist. the filling was delicious and the dipping sauce was tangy which rounded out the flavors and seasoning of the meat filling. My wife ordered the X-O Tuna. The tuna was so fresh, the garlic chips were crunchy and the truffle aioli sauce was awesome. For dinner my son ordered the Salmon Crunch Roll and the Truffle Tuna Roll. He really liked both of them. I tried one of each and the fish was was really fresh. The rice was not sticky or starchy and the accompanying flavors went with the salmon and tuna nicely. Well, my wife made her won roll. She asked to have the salmon swapped out with the tuna and the chef accommodated her request. She enjoyed the roll very much. I ordered the Kiss of Fire Roll and the Lion King Roll. The Kiss of Fire was spicy but not overpowering. The Lion King had a nice crunch to it and the mozzarella and cream cheese added a nice texture to the roll. The only drawback is that the restaurant is really small and seating is limited. We sat in the lobby area of the building where they had high and low tables. This did not hurt the service at all. Our server stopped by often refilling the water glasses and asking if we needed anything. Like I said before, the food here is delicious. Definitely check them out if your in the North Raleigh area. read more

We've had the omakase here several times and it was consistently great. This time wasn't. Very little flavor and fish selection was meh (first time no salmon belly or fatty tuna). Server said it was because they changed their soy sauce. Hopefully it was just a bad night but restaurant biz is cutthroat. Not many will give second chance at that price. read more

This place is quiet, elegant, and small. Perfect for those business lunch dates with a special client or special somebody... Parking can be confusing or just go find free parking at their decks. Service was very quick and friendly. Our server was very kind and knowledgeable about the menu. Fyi: they did not have Uni on the weekdays. I was told starting Friday, so maybe Fridays and Saturdays only for Uni lovers. Lunch lover should always get their lunch sized bento. To me, it was a lot of food: 4pieces a roll, 4 pieces of nigiri 6 pieces of sashimi (I think, please see pic for exact #) this is the bang for your buck! Please remember that delicious sushi does not require any soy sauce. The chef will automatically brush a special sauce on the piece of nigiri for the perfect taste. Please do not drown your nigiri in soy sauce. That is blasphemy!! But if u really need soy sauce please dip it fish down first not rice down, for the rice will absorbed all the soy sauce making it super salty! read more

They have moved three times in three years but I am glad that the quality and style of their food still remains as one of the best authentic Japanese restaurants in NC and it's always a easy 4.5-5 star given the price performance. The new venue is a little bigger than what it was across the street - upbeat and stylish and heavily surrounded by earthy colors. The service is on the slower end, but the food definitely makes up for it. Miso soup is a must - chefs clearly spent hours cooking it and it is reflective in the texture. The unagi don has un-proportionally too much rice but the taste is still above average. The nigiri and the sashimi is spot on as usual even though I am not a big fan of the rolls. Solid 4.5 stars and I hope they can keep it going! read more

Ordered takeout sushi that we ate at home so I can't comment on their service or ambiance. They have an interesting - very meaty - miso soup. I liked it a lot. Their rolls (spicy tuna, fire something-or-other, rainbow) were just ok - kinda small actually. As Raleigh newcomers, we are searching for our goto sushi place. This place is ok, but we need to keep searching. read more

I genuinely loved loved this place wow! My girlfriend and I went for lunch and really focused on the small app plates. We started off with the Yellowtail Crudo, it was light and I love the sweetness of the Mango Dressing. Next up the Rock Salt Seared Salmon - the Himalayan salt block added so much full flavor with the crispy shallots. My ultimate favorite X-O Tuna, there was something about the truffle aioli. We ended with Kiss of Fire roll. You must try this place. It's perfect for a date, the place is a little small so I suggest getting on the waitlist. Also ensure you order the FRESH wasabi! You will not be disappointed! read more

Literally a "hidden gem". If you didn't know that "Sushi Mon" was located here, you would just pass right by. Don't let the location fool you because this development will most likely be a hot spot filled in the next few years. Smart move for moving into this development first! Everybody knows that when you're dining out for sushi, you will either walk out satisfied or upset. I walked out -- A HAPPY CUSTOMER! I've been living in the Triangle for 8 years now and quality sushi is hard to come by. I've tried a lot of sushi restaurants and I'm happy to say that "Sushi Mon" is by far the best. Everything was just right! The sushi was unique! I love the limited number of choices versus other restaurants with a page full of non-sense! It was straight to the point with a small number of special rolls and common rolls. DONE! I ordered two special rolls and -- just amazing! The rice is most important and the texture was perfection. The fish was fresh, didn't even need to dip it into the soy sauce. They were kind enough to give me a complimentary miso soup, that was soothing and an awesome palette cleaner. Overall, customer service was 5-star restaurant quality. I sat outside in the hall and they never forgot about me. I appreciate that so much. I'm so happy that dined here. read more
