MC Restaurant

Great location and even better cuisine, especially for a special occasion. The food is Asian inspired with a heavy Japanese influence. I had the Flambe Australian Wagu which was cooked on a stone in front of me and set ablaze. It was exquisite. My wife had a Asian Prawn dish which she liked quite a lot. We also had wagu dumplings which were good. While the portions are on the small side, the quality and taste make it more than worth it. The sushi and sashimi were expertly prepared with very good quality fish. The atmosphere is homey with an upscale feel to it. The outdoor seating has a great view of the fountain, the Arts Center as well as Downtown Cary. Staff is very friendly, helpful, and patient. Very highly recommend for a nice meal.

I celebrated my birthday at this fancy restaurant, which had very nice and satisfying food. I was told that they often change their menu every Thursday, so don’t be surprised if you can’t find a dish you wanted to order based on reviews. In my opinion, this is a great strategy to attract both regular and new customers. Whatever you choose to order here, I highly recommend the Hanoi Lambchop—it’s the best option. It’s worth the price, delicious, and comes with four generously sized lamb chops. I made a bit of a mistake by not ordering it this time, but that just gives me a reason to come back and enjoy it for sure :)

I went to MC for the first time last night at the recommendation of a friend. I ordered the Sashimi Platter ($40), the Red Curry Halibut meals and added the Surf and Turf, Tuna Taco makis and 1 order id the Hamachi sushi. Everything was great until we decided that we were still hungry by ordering a second Sashimi Platter. The 2nd order PALED in comparison to our first order in terms of both the (1) quality of cuts and in particular, the (2) size portions. That 2nd platter seemed like the sushi chef went home and left a poor server to with no experience to prepare that plate. SEE PHOTOS COMPARING THE HUGE DIFFERENCE IN PORTION SIZES). That was a huge disappointment. I informed inattentive server and she gave me some excuse that it was me who wrongly perceived that the portions were tiny. That response was disappointing to hear. The atmosphere is great. The service was subpar for a restaurant with those menu prices. We had to repeatedly ask another more attentive server for help. While the food was absolutely delicious (other items like the Red Curry Halibut were fantastic), they can do better in terms of portion cuts and consistency with their $40 Sashimi platter and service on busy nights like Friday.

Absolutely gorgeous outdoor atmosphere and wonderful lighting. Inside is nice as well. Great food with a weekly or so rotating menu and daily rotating specials. Server was great. The lamb was phenomenally cooked, extremely tender, and fell off the bone. The sashimi was delicious and the wasabi is top notch. The crudo was my favorite dish.
