any place where japanese people flock....those places are always good.

6/10/2008 10:56:49 AM

Sushi Tsune was pretty good

but its next to Arby's

6/10/2008 10:56:52 AM

go a few miles west to cary

sushi thai on kilmayne (near kildaire farm/maynard intersection) is gooood.

6/10/2008 10:58:38 AM

Waraji has awesome sushi. I'm not sure if you can reserve them, but there are a handful of booths where you can do the whole sit on the floor thing.

Shabu Shabu is slightly more romantic if that is what you are looking for.

6/10/2008 11:02:41 AM

Shaba Shabu - http://www.shabashabu.net/
Wasabi - http://www.wasabicary.com/sushi.thai.japanese.cuisine.restaurant/
and
Mura - http://www.muranorthhills.com/

Are all quite good. Sushi Thai is good as well, but if you're looking for change... try out Shaba Shabu.

6/10/2008 11:03:13 AM

waraji--duraleigh (close to glenwood end) http://www.warajirestaurant.com
shaba shabu--wake forest (by the melting pot)
champa thai & sushi--brier creek

6/10/2008 11:04:01 AM

Waraji and Mura in Raleigh

Shiki Sushi if you're out near Durham/CH

6/10/2008 11:04:04 AM

waraji is the best i've had in raleigh

6/10/2008 11:04:08 AM

I'll second sushi thai

another excellent place is Kaze japanese steak house which is in garner right next to the white oaks movie theater. They have some of the best sushi I've had!!

6/10/2008 11:04:25 AM

waraji is good as well

6/10/2008 11:05:44 AM

waraji is the best i had in raleigh

6/10/2008 11:05:59 AM

Go to:

Mura in North Hills

Shaba Shabu on Wake Forest Rd.

or

Sono on Fayetteville St.

yum yum and yum

6/10/2008 11:10:13 AM

I've eaten at pretty much every sushi place in raleigh with exception to sono, and Mura is definitely by far my favorite. defeintely try the screaming O and piano roll. believe it or not but prime only has really good sushi too. if you go to shaba shabu get the wolfpack roll.

6/10/2008 11:13:52 AM

^I like the wasabi roll at Shaba Shabu

You should try Sono!

6/10/2008 11:16:00 AM

waraji if you don't mind spending the money

sushi thai if you want decent sushi for a good price...you can make a meal out of sushi for $6-8

6/10/2008 11:21:10 AM

Prime Only gets my vote

Sushi Thai if you're going cheap (but still good)

this thread makes me want sushi

6/10/2008 11:26:15 AM

This thread is the reason I'll be having sushi for lunch.

6/10/2008 11:27:17 AM

^^^ it's not horribly priced, no...but a meal of sushi there is $12-14 vs. sushi thai for the same amount at $6-8

i used to live just down the street from waraji, too, and the gf and i used to go there 2-3 times a month...for the money, i think sushi thai is better, though you can get better sushi from a couple of different places

6/10/2008 11:28:44 AM

wariji (SP?) and fins i hear are the best places in the triangle

6/10/2008 11:29:38 AM

kanki has great sushi. sit in the front area and enjoy

Hittin up Wasabi in a few

6/10/2008 11:33:42 AM

I was unimpressed with Wajari. I would have to say Asahi in Cary is my Favorite. Especially since they have their all you can eat lunch buffet.

6/10/2008 12:03:59 PM

make your own...

6/10/2008 12:09:35 PM

Sushi Tsune

6/10/2008 12:10:28 PM

another sushi thread

6/10/2008 12:26:25 PM

Fins is great..

but pricey

6/10/2008 1:35:15 PM

sushi is so trendy these days!

6/10/2008 1:41:37 PM

I live right down the street from Waraji too, and I still drive to Asahi in Cary if I'm in the mood for Sushi. Gets my vote hands down. It's a mile or two from Crossroads off Walnut St.

6/10/2008 2:44:08 PM

waraji ftmfw. holy shit, that is some good sushi. i recommend the hurricane roll

6/10/2008 4:01:05 PM

An in Cary.

6/10/2008 4:02:02 PM

^that's a good one too!

6/10/2008 4:05:47 PM

I love Little Tokyo.

6/10/2008 5:06:12 PM

Little Tokyo is awesome. They also give appetizers all the time.

6/10/2008 5:09:03 PM

During the war we called sushi "Liberty Logs" but it didn't matter because we'd never heard of it.

6/10/2008 5:09:27 PM

mura in north hills. get a screaming o.

6/10/2008 5:19:05 PM

fuck you lewizzle, don't give out the secret.

DNL smells like raw fish, just get some vinegared rice and you're good to go.

"champa thai & sushi--brier creek"

the service is always amazingly bad there every time i go. it's like they don't want to be better. at least it's lightyears better than sushi blues.

i love waraji, but the service there was awful the last time I went. enough so that I didn't give the waitress a tip and told her why.

Good Sushi Restaurants = Serve Shrimp Sauce

6/10/2008 5:31:45 PM

sono is pretty decent. Its nice inside, has a nice atmosphere for a birthday dinner I'd think.

6/10/2008 5:38:58 PM

we are getting ready to head out its between waraji and little tokyo, what are the prices like at little tokyo

6/10/2008 6:03:32 PM

very reasonable, plus all the free shit they give you makes it a great place

6/10/2008 6:07:47 PM

^ true.

6/10/2008 6:09:02 PM

Waraji
Wasabi
Sushi Thai in Cary
Asuka Japanese in Cary

6/10/2008 9:02:30 PM

Sushi Tsune sucked balls the few times i went, i dont know why i went more than once

I hear lots of good things about Waraji, ima go there verrryy soon

good luck with the birthday!

6/10/2008 11:14:01 PM

I've been to Sushi Tsune several times and enjoyed it every time. I'm no sushi connoisseur, but I think it's good (and close to campus and to where I live). Sushi Thai is good too, though I've only been to the one on Lake Boone, as opposed to the Cary one mentioned earlier.

Perhaps not relevant to this thread since you're not really in the "Raleigh Area" anymore, but if you ever find yourself with a craving for Sushi in Chapel Hill, Akai Hana in Carrboro is quite good.

6/10/2008 11:37:13 PM

Asahi in Cary.

Buy one get one free on rolls Wednesday after 8:00(expect a wait though), lunch buffet every day till 2:30(but you wanna get there by 1:00 for a good selection).


Or just show up whenever for a boat if you don't care about the price, the quality is tremendous.
