    Takeout sushi
    Peter V.

    Sushi Nine has been one of our longtime go-to spots for years, and we get takeout from here every couple of weeks. The biggest draw is the value. It's easily the best sushi deal in Raleigh. Sushi is always BOGO, and that applies to takeout as well, not just dine-in, which is huge. Because of that, it's hard to beat when you want sushi without paying premium prices. The quality is good but not high-end, and Sushi Nine definitely isn't trying to be a luxury sushi experience. We've had minor issues in the past, but nothing that's ever stopped us from coming back. The consistency and value keep us loyal. I've also ventured beyond sushi and tried their Thai curry, which was surprisingly solid and a nice change of pace. If you want affordable, reliable sushi and unbeatable BOGO value, Sushi Nine is a dependable choice -- just go in knowing it's about value and volume more than refinement.

    bogo rolls
    Morgan H.

    A local favorite. I've been going here for 10+ years since I was a student at NC State. I love their BOGO rolls and drink specials. Service can be kinda slow at times, but overall still a great value for food/experience. I always get the Crunchy Crazy Tuna roll, as it is one of my favorites.

    The BOGO Sushi is what brought me here. The BOGO sushi and the fact that it's really good is what will keep me coming. There are a lot of rolls to choose from asking with other menu items besides sushi. The tom kha soup was amazing and you can pick the level of spiciness as well. They have a parking lot that was full so you have to wait until a space frees up to park so of you are coming with people or to meet best to ride together. Parking is free though. They have a huge dining area so that wasn't too full. There's also a regular bar and a sushi bar to sit at. They have drink specials and many cocktails to choose from. This is definitely a new fave!!

    Chicken Satay
    Rachel S.

    Amazing food. The Philly Roll was perfect!! Smoked salmon tasted amazing and very fresh. Chicken Lo Mein and satay were also great. Not pictured are the fried potstickers in curry sauce and spring rolls. The potstickers were divine and the curry sauce was so good. Highly recommend. There is also a BOGO sushi list on the menu. Good deal. Onsite parking.

    Salt & Pepper Calamari and Edamame
    Jamaal W.

    Sushi Nine was a great dining experience. I ordered the Spicy Basil Fried Rice, two sushi rolls - North Carolina (top), Sweet Dragon (bottom), and had the calamari and edamame as appetizers. The fried was amazing and the medium spice level provided a nice kick without being unbearable. I appreciated the fact that the sushi menu had BOGO options, which I took advantage of. Both rolls were delicious so I couldn't pick a favorite. The calamari was decent but not the best I've had, I did appreciate the salt & pepper seasoning though. Service was good and the ambiance of the restaurant was nice, not too loud or awkwardly quiet. The dining area was a clean, open space with a bar.

    Sticky rice and mango.
    Faith J.

    First time we visited, it was inside. The restaurant was beautiful, lighting was just right and the vibe is chill. Now the food, the calamari was dry, spongy and wasn't good. The pad Thai was dry, no lime, nothing Thai about it. The noodles were like lo mein noodles. Fried rice tasted like rice, no flavor. The sushi was the best thing. We only ordered the sushi the 2nd time and they were not evenly cut, it was sloppy, unlike the first visit. The sticky rice and mango was great. Only complaint is that the rice was way too sticky..it took a knife for me to finish eating but tasty, mango was sweet.

    Came in the middle of the week for a nice lunch and BOGO sushi. It was delicious! I loved the vibe inside and our waitress was very kind and attentive about allergies.

    We came for lunch, and it was the best sushi we've had since visiting Japan. Super friendly service and very reasonable prices. Nice, unpretentious vibe.

    Came here on a monday night for dinner and was seated immediately with no wait. Our server was prompt with ordering our food and drinks and the sushi rolls came out pretty fast. Our rolls were delicious and love that they do BOGO rolls! spent $30 for 4 rolls. Will definitely come back!

    Samantha R.

    Solid place for sushi, they have BOGO which is great! I got the Caterpillar and Firecracker rolls. The Caterpillar roll has eel, which I'm a huge fan of. Even though the menu says no substitutions, they did accommodate no cream cheese. I would skip the calamari next time but the edamame was just right. The restaurant was busy but we got seated immediately.

    California roll...can't remember the name of the other roll just know it was good!!
    Teresa W.

    This was my first time here and not my last!! Oh so good. Store nice clean,waiter was the best!! Didn't use the restroom but I imagine it would have been great because the store was wonderful. Stand alone restaurant, plenty of parking and handicap accessible. So excited, because I learned to use chopsticks. Only 3 words left to say YOU GOTTA GO!!!!!!'

    Shrimp Tempura Lobster $Spicy mayo $Eel sauce Pepsi
    Mel H.

    My sushi was absolutely amazing. This was by far the best sushi I've ever had. I had the shrimp tempura (deep fried) burrito roll. It was so fresh, flavorful and deep fried to perfection. It was sinfully delicious and crunchy. I also had the lobster tempura roll and that was delicious too. The service was top tier everyone was so friendly and sweet. The waiters periodically check on you and ask if you like it and if there's something else they can do. She also offered me several different sauces to try with it. It was the best service I've had in a while. As soon as I asked what's this burrito roll I keep seeing all over TikTok. The waiter came from behind the counter and sat next and explained it in detail. I told her this place is going viral on TikTok b/c of this deep fried burrito roll. The ambience is so serene, clean, family oriented and perfect for a date night. I went on a solo sushi date and felt safe and comfortable due to the staff and other solo guests at the bar. This is my new spot I will definitely be returning next weekend so I can try other things! The BEST sushi and AWESOME service.

    Visited on an early Sunday evening with my family of 6. Service was great! Atmosphere was great! Food was great! Had 4 apps, 10 sushi rolls, the sashimi platter, and 3 desserts. The desserts may have been the best items. Lots of variety and all delicious! Prices are amazing! Experience was wonderful. Devin is a great server! Char is the greatest though! We'll be back often! Thank you!

The miso soup was a pleasant surprise and was delicious quite filling as it contained cabbage, salmon, and mushrooms. The 6 pieces Nigiri was also well balanced and had a good selection of sushi (amberjack, salmon belly, cooked shrimp, etc.). The Sushi Mon hand roll was good but had a bit of heat to it.

    Five stars, no hesitation…read more I heard about Sono Sushi through Resy and finally made it in. It's located in downtown Raleigh on Fayetteville Street, right next to the ABC 11 studios, easy to find and a great spot if you're already downtown. The ambiance is great and fits the food well. There's a nice mix of seating, tables along the windows looking out onto the street, high top tables, traditional dining tables, and a sushi bar if you want to sit up close and watch everything being made. It feels lively without being loud, and works well whether you're there for a date night or a more casual meal. We started with the Aburi appetizer, torched salmon belly, ooba, salmon roe, Japanese seabream, yuzu kosho, and ponzu, and it was outstanding. Everything worked together perfectly, rich, bright, and balanced. I also ordered ikura and ebi, even though I meant to order ama ebi, but no regrets there. Still excellent. We shared the Poke Roll with wakame, avocado, cucumber, mango, tuna, salmon, hamachi, and Sono poke sauce, and it was very good, fresh, flavorful, and well composed without being overdone. My wife ordered the spicy miso ramen and loved it. The broth was the star, deep and comforting, and the pork chashu pieces were massive, in a good way. I went with the chicken katsu curry, panko fried chicken thigh with house curry and koshihikari rice, something I haven't had since Little Tokyo in LA a few years ago, and it tasted like home. Comforting, familiar, and exactly what I was hoping for. For drinks, I ordered the "SONO? SO-YES!" entirely because of the name, but also because I love blood orange. Casamigos Blanco tequila, Cointreau, lime juice, coconut cream, simple syrup, and blood orange juice, it was excellent. My only complaint is that I wanted more of it. My wife got the Okinawa Spritz, a play on an Aperol spritz with passionfruit, and it was even better than the original. We finished with the yuzu cheesecake. I debated between that and the ube cheesecake, but since this is a Japanese restaurant, yuzu felt right, and it absolutely delivered. Overall, everything from the food to the drinks hit. This is a place I would happily return to, and honestly, I'm already looking forward to the next visit.

We just had water to drink, but that's okay. My husband's entree was very spicy! We began with the Shrimp & Vegetable Tempura. The shrimp was quite fresh, and the flavor gave a great mouthful of taste and some oiliness (but, not dripping). Flavor! Also, we ordered Negimaki, which are grilled beef-wrapped scallions with teriyaki sauce. One bite is the way to eat those. Love the chopsticks, too. We were each served Miso Soup and two small salads (with ginger dressing). Sure did like that (the soup had good flavor, but was a bit salty for our tastes.) My entree was Teriyaki. I am not familiar with a lot of Japanese dishes, but I do know this flavor. I ordered the Steak. This came with stir fried vegetables with a good flavor of cabbage. I liked those. White rice completed my dish. My husband ordered the Spicy Seafood Udon. This proved to be more spicy than it appeared. This dish included vegetables, udon noodles, shrimp, hokkaido scallops, squid, green mussels, in a savory & spicy garlic butter sauce. We had food leftover, so we got some containers and packed them for home. We will come back here, and perhaps eat outside (sure, the view is of a parking lot), but the high tables and the torchieres give it a nice atmosphere - perhaps as the weather turns cooler, we will enjoy being outside.
